Haha, I live in Arkansas, man. Which, if the likes of Beebe Mayor Robertson have their way, will be very similar to Iran as far as religious freedom goes very soon. O.O
But answering your question, I'm pretty sure you don't have any free speech if you live in Iran. Legally, you do. But that won't stop the government and the clergy's goons from shutting you up REAL fast. Unless, that is, you are encouraging violence against Baha'is or other religious minorities. That's considered just fine! --_--
I will say, though, not all Iranians are as anti-Baha'i (or anti-anything, for that matter) as this and other articles might make them look. Example:
