Acting Assistant Secretary for Public Affairs Mike Hammer announces the Virtual Embassy Tehran in Spanish from the Department of State in Washington, D.C. on December 6, 2011. [Go to http://video.state.gov for more video.] English: http://iran.usembassy.gov/ Persian: http://persian.iran.usembassy.gov/ English: As announced by Secretary Clinton earlier this year, the Virtual Embassy Tehran website will go live this month in English at iran.usembassy.gov and in Persian at tehran.usembassy.gov. This is a platform for us to communicate with the citizens of Iran—openly and without fear—about the United States, about our policies, our culture, and the American people. While the site does not constitute a change in our diplomatic relationship with the Iranian regime, it is one of many ways in which we will seek to challenge the Iranian regime's efforts to place an electronic curtain of surveillance, satellite jamming and online filtering around its people. Virtual Embassy Tehran is another important step in our efforts to support a more direct and robust engagement between us and the people of Iran. Spanish: Hoy hemos lanzado el sitio web de la Embajada Virtual de Teherán segun habia anunciado la secretaria Clinton hace un mes y medio. El sitio contiene información sobre los Estados Unidos, nuestras políticas y nuestra cultura y esta en ambos idomas - Inglés y Persa. El objetivo de esta nueva plataforma es para que podamos comunicarmos con el pueblo Iráni abiertamente y sin que la gente tenga miedo. El sitio no constituye un cambio en nuestras relaciones diplomáticas con el régimen iraní. De hecho, esta iniciativa es parte de lo que estamos haciendo para sobrepasar la cortina electrónica de vigilancia que el régimen iraní impone entorno a su pueblo, incluyendo atraves del bloqueo de satélites. La Embajada Virtual de Teherán es otro paso importante en nuestros esfuerzos para promover un contacto mas directo entre la gente irani y los Estados Unidos. Si quiere ver el nuevo sitio en el internet vaya a iran.usembassy.gov.
