More Threats from Iran

The British museum agreed in a cultural exchange with Iran which included the famous Cyrus cylinder from that museum visiting Iran. Unfortunately the apparent troubles in Iran since the elections of last summer have left the British museum reluctant to let the cylinder to travel to Iran during this time.

Oddly this caution on behalf of the British museum has infuriated some officials in Iran who are reducing themselves to issuing petty threats against future activities in Iran for the museum. With such indignities about I myself would perhaps keep the Cyrus cylinder back at home safe in the British museum.
