Planet Iran/Iran Press New Exclusive

Today, the Iranian regime launched a new . The site was created by Khaak-reez’eh Iman va Andeesheh organization (Haven for Faith and Deliberation)  and it is in Persian, English and Arabic. The simplistically worded, anti-Semitic cartoon which is designed in a book format, unfolding page by page, aims to be satirical and purports to reveal ‘the truth’. On the first page of the book, it reads: “This book tries to examine and divulge the big lie about ‘the planned murders of six million Jews during World War II, otherwise known as the Holocaust’; the creators of the site dedicate the site to all those who were murdered with the excuse of the Holocaust.”

The theme to the Pink Panther composed by Henry Mancini, which is used as the theme music to this site however appears to have been used without permission from the composer’s estate. Planet Iran has contacted as well as the Mancini estate to follow up on complaints or action against the unauthorized use of the theme music.
