Title: The Real Iran


1
The Real Iran
2
In recent years, the media has damaged Irans
image so badly that when people hear the name of
Iran, they only picture black chadors, terrorism,
and ayatollahs. These stereotypes are being
constructed to make it easier for governments to
attack Iran with public approval. That is why
NoWar SA wishes to play a small but essential
role in breaking down these negative stereotypes.
