CNN “Very Disappointed” By Iran’s Ban

CNN’s statement:

“Due to an error in translation, CNN incorrectly quoted Iranian president Mahmoud Amadinejad in his Saturday speech as saying that Iran has the right to build nuclear WEAPONS. In fact, President Amadinejad said Iran has the right to nuclear ENERGY, and that “a nation that has civilization does not need nuclear weapons,” and “our nation does not need them.”

CNN apologized on all its platforms which included the translation error, including CNN International, CNNUSA and CNN.com, and also expressed its regrets to the Iranian Government and the Iranian ambassador to the UN.

Despite this there are reports today, Monday, that Iran has banned us from the country.

CNN is very disappointed that this action has been taken.”
