We have nothing to do with Israeli tablet ad says Samsung

While the eyes of most of the world were watching the new commercial for the Samsung GALAXY Note LTE in the fourth quarter of the Super Bowl, eyes in the Middle East were staring at a different commercial that features a Samsung GALAXY Tab 10.1 Wi-Fi tablet. Israeli cable television company HOT ran an ad that showed the tablet made by the Korean manufacturer, disabling an Iranian nuclear facility.

Samsung, for its part, denies that it had anything to do with the spot. "Samsung Electronics is aware of a recent news report in Iranian media regarding an advertisement aired by HOT cable network of Israel," the company said in a statement to AllThingsD. "This advertisement was produced by HOT cable network without Samsung’s knowledge or participation."

And as if Samsung needed to hear the "b" word again, Iran says it is considering banning all Samsung devices. The country's lawmakers still consider Samsung responsible for the spot and could pass a law to prevent sales of the Korean manufacturer's products. Now this response, we would agree with our pal the barista, is over the top.

I live in Iran,Mashhad. I think that its a shame if Samsung is losing its market in Iran for a country that was born yesterday and is dying tomorrow.
Iran is one of biggest markets of The company In ME and with a population of more than 70m.While Many Of Iranians are waiting for GSIII and i see GSII bilboards everywhere in our city,this ad made a lot of Iranians angry of Samsung as i see in forums and many of apple lovers in Iran say :((are you buying Samsung yet???))

I dont know why iranians care about some hallucinations.....
they imagine what they can not do in real world...so let them have fun.....
you are comparing a 20,700 km^2 country with iran (1648000 km^2) ? ( thats funny )

it's obvious it's nothing to do with Samsung,they are not crazy enough to lose their biggest market in ME...

@ ilia1986

my friend, i think you are mistaken....
Iran is not like Saudi Arabia or any other Arabic Counteris....
we are Aryan not arab...
we dont have these laws in our country...

you are accusing iran because you think we may produce nuclear weapons while you are not talking about israel Nuclear warheads and of course you know that your country will never sign NPT treaty.....

So USA & your Country asking for confidence & transparency!!!
Usa is the only country that used a nuclear weapons against a civilians & has no right accusing iran about some imaginations....

IS THERE A MODERATOR OUT THERE SOMEWHERE? Get these off-the point comments off of the board.

And why has no one suggested the ad was somehow planted by the Iranians or Palestinians to stir up trouble?
