Censorship of the Internet in Iran continues to be a serious impediment to free access to information for Iranians, even elected Majles representatives, as Adnkronos International reports here.

From an 18 July PARS TV broadcast of the Souresrafil show

Several days ago this very executioner [Amhadinezhad], apparently right after returning from Belarus, made a comment that I recorded. He said "don't worry we will soon advance our nuclear program to the point that we will join the world's club of eight nuclear nations." Well, which are the eight nations in the world? The ones that have peaceful nuclear energy are a lot more than eight. The ones that enrich uranium are also a lot more than eight; the only thing he meant by the eight nations is the eight nations that have nuclear weapons! This gentleman effectively admitted himself "we want to join the club of nations that have nuclear weapons." None of the other aspects of their nuclear program will make them a part of this group of eight nations!
