The Islamic Republic of Iran continues its transformation into a real-life version of “Nineteen Eighty-Four.”

Payvand.com reports:

Iran’s supreme national security council on Friday issued a directive banning all newspapers from publishing any news regarding the deeply contested June 12 two presidential elections and the two contenders who have been most critical of the official results, namely Mir-Hossein Mousavi and Mehdi Karoubi.

Down the memory hole.
