Iranian Nuclear Crisis More Than Just Fun And Games

The game is reportedly being designed by students at the Union of Islamic Student Societies and should be available within a year. The Iranian game is the conceptual equivalent of a game by New York-based KumaWar called Assault on Iran -- available since September -- in which an American special forces commando infiltrates Iran’s nuclear facility at Natanz to find evidence that the Iranians are really building nuclear weapons. Some game developers have realized that no imaginary world can be as exciting, terrifying or unpredictable as The Real World -- especially in the realm of international relations. |
