It’s an Iranian mystery

Posted on 01/30/2006 by Meryl Yourish

This paragraph in Ynet’s article about Iran inviting Tony Blair to his Holocaust-denial conference got my intererest piqued:

“What was published as a document in the United Nations on Saturday is the stance of the Islamic Republic of Iran on the Holocaust,” the Tehran Times quoted Asefi as saying.

I looked for a reference to the document on The Tehran Times. Nothing. Looked on IRNA. Nothing. Went to the UN and searched its documents online pages. Nothing. Finally, I went to Iran’s UN website.

They don’t have one. This is the full text of the home page:

Dear visitor,

The website http://www.un.int/iran is temporarily down for maintenance.
We are sorry for any inconvenience that this may cause.

Please try back in a little while.

Wow, lameness. All those petrodollars, and that’s the best they can come up with?

But I digress. If anyone finds any publication that refers to an Iranian document on the Holocaust submitted to the UN on January 28, I’d love to see it.

    I’d be willing to build one for them.

    I’ve been looking for a place to showcase my Ask The Prophet cartoons.

    I believe this is the document in question.

    The document is actually dated Jan. 20, but wasn’t posted on the UN Daily Journal (page 13) until this past weekend.

    “the document” link gives me this:
