Iranian students vow to defuse US virtual Embassy move

The Islamic Association Union of Iranian Students said here Monday that the movement will occupy the US "virtual embassy" for Iran once it is launched, as what it did to the ex-US embassy in Tehran 32 years ago.The Iranian students' movement will not allow the United States to enter Iran, said the secretary of the movement, Seyed Ali Moussavi. US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said Wednesday that the United States was planning to launch a "virtual embassy" for Iran by the end of this year, which would assist Iranians with online access to information about US visa and facilitation of study procedures in the United States. In her shocking remarks, Clinton said the United States was providing both technology and training to help Iranians circumvent government limits on the Internet and other forms of communication while seeking to expand sanctions on Tehran. Moussavi also expressed Iranian students' support for Occupy Wall Street movement by the American citizens. The United States and Iran broke diplomatic relations in April 1980, after Iranian students seized the United States' espionage center at its embassy in Tehran. The two countries have had tense relations ever since.
