Under www.ahmadinejad.ir is the "Official Blog of the President of the Islamic Republic of Iran: Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. And on Farsi, English, Arabic and French. Yesterday, it was simply there in English, sorry, the server was overloaded. Disturbed electronic communications at the moment is not uncommon in Iran. That there is also the address of the President shall, seems like a small irony of history: normally locks the regime dow him unpopular pages.
The Iranian authority does what it can to the media under control. This ranges from censorship to the threat and arrest of journalists. So says Reporters Without Borders that the authorities of the BBC signal blocked. Even Facebook is the network sporadically blocked. Facebook is used primarily by opposition students, the followers Mussawis used.

ARD correspondent Peter Mezger had from Sunday to Tuesday filming ban imposed by the Ministry of Culture. He was of Bassidsch militias with electroshock devices have been threatened. Meanwhile, Twitter is also a rumor-confirming: Foreign journalists may no longer be reported in Iran, said the Culture Ministry on Tuesday. And they will be deported.
