Tehran Condemns Documentary 'Iranium' as Attempt to Thwart Iran's 'Peaceful' Nuclear Activities

The Film is Available Now for Free Online Viewing and can be Embedded on Websites and Blogs

NEW YORK, February 8, 2011/PRNewswire/ -- Iran's Foreign Ministry Spokesman, Ramin Mehmanparast denounced the
documentary film Iranium today, calling the film an attempt to harm the
progress of Iran's nuclear program.

Mehmanparast said the documentary "proves that certain Western countries
are dismayed by [Iran's] peaceful nuclear activities which are carried out in
line with [defending its] inalienable rights," and creates "an unreal
atmosphere in order to apply pressure on our policies.

"They should know that this path is wrong and the public opinion will not
fall for such fabricated, unreal facts," Mehmanparast added.

Iranium documents the statements and actions of Iranian leaders since the
Islamic Revolution of 1979, including the buildup of Iran's nuclear program
through the Presidential Elections of 2009.

The film is available now for free online viewing for the first 50,000
registrants at http://www.iraniumthemovie.com, and can also be embedded on
websites and blogs.

The free viewing is part of Iranium's nationwide screening event, which
includes premiere events today in AMC theaters in select cities, and at
community centers across the United States.

The film's flagship premiere event will take place today on Capitol Hill,
in the Rayburn Congressional Office Building.

Iranium was screened Sunday, February 6 in Ottawa, Canada following a
previous cancellation of the film's premiere at Canada's National Library and
Archives. The cancellation came as a direct result of requests from Iran's
Embassy on the day of the screening.

"In the West, we use freedom of speech to change public opinion. We
develop documentaries and software to achieve our goals," said Alex Traiman,
director of Iranium. "Iran's leaders on the other hand, develop illegal
nuclear weapons, sponsor terror around the world and brutalize their own
citizens to achieve their goals.

"I hope that everybody will see this film, so that we in the West will be
more afraid of Iran's nuclear program than Iran's leaders are afraid of this
film," added Traiman.

Narrated by Academy Award Nominee and Emmy Award Winning Iranian actress,
Shohreh Aghdashloo, the 60-minute film uses rare footage from Iran and
interviews with 25 politicians, Iranian dissidents, and leading experts on
Middle East policy, terrorism, and nuclear proliferation.
