Iran says no

This news was released by one of his closet advisors, Mehdi Kalhor, who added that although Stone is considered an opponent of the Bush administration, the maker of the classics «JFK» and «Platoon» is nonetheless a citizen of the «Great Satan», i.e. the United States.

Oliver Stone remains concerns about politics, having in the past few years wrapped such documentary projects as «Comandante», «Looking for Fidel» and «Persona Non Grata» – the first two about Fidel Castro, and the third about the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
