Wall Street Journal Criticizes Iranian Reports on Its Reporter

The Wall Street Journal on Wednesday criticized what it described as false Iranian state media reports that accused the newspaper and one of its veteran correspondents of conspiring against Iran’s government.     In a statement, The Journal said the Iranian reports had erroneously asserted that the correspondent, Farnaz Fassihi, acted as a secret link in 2009 between the United States government and the opposition Green Movement in Iran.
