Title: Mideast Iran Squeezing The Web
Caption: In this picture taken on Tuesday, Jan. 18, 2011, Iranian journalism students use computers in an internet cafe in central Tehran, Iran. Iran calls it the "soft war" with the West: Battles to control, defend and monitor the web and telecommunications. The latest move came from the Revolutionary Guard, launching what they claim is a hack-proof phone network for high-level commanders. Tehran's efforts to build a cyber-fortress have become a priority among leaders fearful of Internet espionage and virus attacks from abroad and seeking to choke off opposition voices at home.
