I keep reading and hearing from Iran “experts” that the Iranian people support the country’s nuclear program. There are no data, only anecdotes, to support this conclusion. I’m undecided on this one, but a short article from the latest on “Rooz” is tilting me against it:
The ROOZ Online reporter from Tehran reports that one week after Iran’s Supreme National Security Council (SNSC) instructed the Iranian media not to portray the country’s referral by the IAEA to the UN Security Council as a diplomatic failure, it has sent out another circular asking the press not to criticize Iran’s nuclear issue.
If the leaders were confident that the people supported the nuclear program, they wouldn’t be so frantic in censoring any criticism of it, don’t you think?
