While US President Barack Obama vowed on last Friday (March 31) to forge ahead with tough sanctions on Iran and Supreme Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Ali Khamenei called US, Iran's great enemy, Alef, the site run by Ahmad Tavakoli, an Iranian conservative majlis member and the government critic, tries to start a question and answer session in which viewersof the site can ask questions of Alan Eyre, the State Department Persian spokesman.
Alan Eyre has been appointed as the first Persian-language Spokesman for the State Department about a year ago, and has a duty to explain the positionsandpolicies ofUS government and respond to Iranian people questions, Alefsays.
According to this conservative-run site, Alan Eyre (Alef's special guest), who entered the State Departmentas a diplomatinthe mid90s, has been interested in Persian language and Iranianhistory and civilization since 20 years ago.
Raja News, a radicalandpro-Ahmadinejad site, criticizedAlef's move, calling it a strange and meaningful advertising reportage.
Raja News, also, criticized Alef for not referring to the history of US hostility withthe Islamic Revolution and Iranian people, and introducing its special guest - Alan Eyre as an American, interested in Iranian history and civilization, now answering Iranian's destined questions and their possible ambiguities.
While Iran-USrelationship is of high tension these days and Obama closedthe way foranyreconciliation with Iran by imposing fresh sanctions on Iran last week, it seems that Alef, a conservative-run site, has openeda newapproachtodialogue with US. It should be noted that Alef, under the pressure, had to remove the post.
