Iran : National Internet and national search engine 'Ya Haq'

                 
  Iran is set to launch its national Internet in August in an effort to provide Iranians with faster and safer and more reliable internet that is also more compatible with Farsi language .
                       According to Irans minister of communication the project's Phases Zero and One would be completed and operational in August. According to him the state-run national Iranian internet will initially provide with home users 8mbps speed broadband internet and they will have 20mbps speed once the next phase of the national internet comes into stream .
                       Also called clean or halal internet the national internet will be more based to provide Iranians more access to Farsi content as most of Iranians aren't good enough at English and to give protection against the loose commitment to ethics and morality across the World Wide Web. According to information minister quote “The national internet will not limit access for users. It will instead empower Iran and protect its society from cultural invasion and threats.” According to Iran other muslim countries will also be invited to join the internet .

            Tehran has also undertaken a project to develop a national search engine dubbed "Ya Haq" by early 2012 . According to Iranian sources the new search engine will be much faster and efficient than Google and Yahoo search in searching Farsi content and the results displayed will be more accurate. 
The domain for the search engine might be    یا حق.ir     .

Great Prophet 6 : Iranian defence maneuvers


The great prophet 6   ( پيامبر اعظم ص)  military drills kicked off on monday  the 27th of June , near the holy city of Qom .
These drills were to show the military capabilities of Iran which are all 100 % domestically made .Iran has many times repeated that the Great prophet drills are for the defense of the country against any kind of foreign hostility and harbors a message of peace and friendship to neighboring and regional countries .


  On the first day of the drills Iran unveiled locally built underground missile silos (Subterranean silos) which cannot be destroyed by aerial attacks and are much harder to track compared to surface installations. Missile silo technology is a very limited technology which very few countries in the world have . They use advanced remote control systems . An Iranian military commander said that the silos function as a swift-reaction unit and that the missiles were permanently in the vertical position and “ready to hit the predetermined targets.” Also on the first day Iran test fired Fateh 110 missiles


On the second day of the drills (Tuesday , 28th May 2011) Iran test fired many of its ingeniously made missiles . Many surface to surface missiles were tested the Zelzal missiles , Shahab 1 , Shahab 2 and an upgraded Shahab 3 missile . According to Iranian commander quote "The range of our missiles has been designed based on American bases in the region as well as the Zionist regime." Also according to Tehran ,  it has the technical capability to build missiles which could reach Europe , however, right now there is no intention of pursuing it .
