Iran

Iran's President Ahmadinejad shocked the Western world when he described the murder of 6 million Jews by the Nazis as a myth and called for Israel to be 'wiped off the map'. No wonder then that some Western leaders are terrified at the prospect of Iran resuming its nuclear programme - and perhaps building nuclear weapons. Iran is an 'axis of evil' member and America is not alone in arguing that Iran is a huge danger. But are the doomsayers right? Is Iran the rabid Islamic dog and pariah state that some paint it? It is in fact, others say, the most prosperous, sophisticated, cultured nation in the Middle East, despite the President's shocking outbursts and often belligerent stance. Iran: Everything You Need to Know gives you the facts and lets you form your own opinion on this crucial world issue.
