Iran 'blocks' official London 2012 Olympics website
 
Then hopefully there won't be any participants from Iran at any of the events :hmmm:

Iran appears to have blocked the official website for the London 2012 Olympic Games.
Users in Iran have tweeted that they are unable to connect to london2012.com and are instead redirected to peyvandha.ir - a site offering stories from Iran's official news agencies.

Iran is just mad with how many medals the USA always runs away with in the summer sports.:woot:

(You Euros are great skiiers, especially the darned Swiss, and Germans)

Catch us if you can!:O: (you can't and won't)

Butthurt at a government level.

Iran lacks good sportsmanship.:DL

I guess Iran couldn't get tickets either. :hmph:

If Iran does send a team they will probably get lost in the myriad of transport chaos that will probably spring up at the time and will never be seen again.

I'm predicting a record number of applications for asylum (from a variety of countries).

we don't have to.
China already did it in Beijng 2008 and will do it once again in London.
