Iran Bans Its Second Publication Due to Geographic Disagreement

By , About.com GuideJune 23, 2006

Follow me on:

The happy-go-lucky nation of Iran has banned its second publishing entity due to claimed geographic inaccuracies. This time, the country has banned the esteemed publication The Economist because the publication printed a map that labeled the Persian Gulf as "The Gulf." The last time this happened, in November 2004, all publications of the National Geographic Society were banned.
