A few weeks ago, the blogsphere noted with considerable interest that the Iranian President had established a blog.
Many sites also noted cases where the site attempted to install software on visitor's computers.
This prompted the following warning on Sydney Indymedia:

Why would an Iranian blog be in Arabic? That makes no more sense than an Iranian blog in Spanish. Iranians don't speak Arabic. They're not Arabs. They're Indo-Europeans like we are. They speak Farci.

Umm, Farsi is written in Arabic script, with a couple extra characters that don't exist in Arabic.
Farsi is 30% Arabic words, and learning Arabic is mandatory in Iranian schools.
