I agree the radicals are running the show there. As usual. But isolating themselves from, and damaging, the rest of the world is not in their best interests. If they don't get that then they need some professional behind-the-scenes advice. Ogilvy and Mather has long been the spin company governments worlwide turn to in times like this. The US used them extensively. Remember the first Gulf War and the Senate Committee being told by a tearful young women that she saw 'babies in incubators' thrown on the floor by Iraqi invaders in Kuwait? That was O&M. The woman was a minor royal of another ME country working for O&M. It was all BS of course. If O&M is too closely associated with the US (probably its biggest client), then the Iranians need another one.
