Way to Go Iran.

Not to often that we in the west hear about good things coming out of Iran.

Coldest day of the winter here so far. Think I'll make a 2nd visit of the week to the shelter today.

Hate to be snarky (not really) but Iran is sited on a LITERAL ocean of oil, why is anyone cold there ??
The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.

Snarky ain't no thing. Same there as here. Lack of caring.

Nice to see that Iran did something good for once.

Considering Iran has more women than men in its universities, especially in science and engineering fields, I would say Iran did a lot more good than ever did many of our closer friends in the Islamic world.

They probably do plenty of good things, we just never hear about them.

That's true. But of course the Western media would never let us hear of that.

It doesn't fit the narrative, as far as Fox News and it's brethren in spirit around the world are concerned. And it doesn't make for juicy news, as far as so called serious media outlets go. Less juicy, less viewers, less ad money.
Iran is also one of the select few countries in the region, that has something similar to a democracy. Similar, because the clergy still calls the shots, which candidates are allowed to participate.
