I didn't copy and paste the entire article (link below) but wanted to comment on the 'correct' tone and message now coming out of IRI (a recent pet peeve of mine as I'm sure many of you have noticed). I also want to point out, this 'correct' tone has resulted in variations of "Iran Warns of Pre-Emptive Action in Nuclear Dispute" spread all over the web which is really good. This warning along with conditions for selling oil to the EU, and barring IAEA inspectors from visiting military sites, to me, is a very good trifecta combination coming out the IRI Foreign Ministry. It's understated yet firm and doesn't have the 'shrill' tone we were hearing before in the aftermath of the new 'sanctions' and recent assassinations. I believe there is a lesson here where perhaps the Foreign MInistry should really be the sole outlet fo delivering this type of rhetoric abroad and when it comes to military matters it should coordinate with the military's 'information office' and vica versa . Anyway, things like this are subjective, but when it comes to messaging and branding often it is clear when something is wrong. I believe much of the garbage that was coming out a few weeks ago has been cleaned up now and a better package is being presented and I believe the way the media is broadcasting this is good as well.
