I also heard that the so called council of experts who were also elected or something have more power than most politicians in Iran.

Technically, yes, but, actually, they are very much like the Queen of England. None of them is really taking their job more than “praise the leader”. I don’t think that’s a surprise knowing that they all passed the explicit filter of the IR and also a written test.

I didn’t expect the Mullahs were tolerant enough to allow a “Let’s all worship together” type display.

You should know that there are different ideas within the IR, some of which are more moderate.

I’d heard that too, although the president is makes a better posterchild for extremism apparantly.

Anyways, until the day we see CNN broadcast something positive about Iran, we in the West will grow to hate them like how we grew to hate the USSR without giving a second thought to the facts. Ohh well…

Yet another thing about the Iranian we will never hear from our major media outlets.

Yeah, those recent elections were rarely mentioned too, after all Iran is supposedly some kind of “Dictatorship/Theocracy”(people can’t decide which is worse, and whatever is worse must of course be accurate)
