First you push Putin TV (RT), and now Iranian state media? This story has been covered by many legitimate news sources--Democracy Now, Vice News, even Olbermann

Iran is one of the very worst places for freedom on the planet. Women in Iran are legally worth half a man is worth, and wives need husbands' permission to work outside the home. I mean WTF? Do you really have a such a problem with the USA that you would use Kremlin or Iranian state media sources instead of Democracy Now, just because Putin and Iran have put themselves in opposition to the West?
