Iran

CBS The Late Show host Stephen Colbert commemorated International Women’s Day on Wednesday by lamenting the state of women’s rights around the world including in Iran, Afghanistan, and the United States. For the Catholic Colbert, the downfall of Roe v. Wade means that Justice Samuel Alito is just as much of a “turd” as the Taliban.

Hillary Clinton joined PBS’s Amanpour and Company on Thursday to preview the Clinton Presidential Center’s upcoming summit on the status of women’s rights around the world. For the former Secretary of State, the state of women’s rights in Iran, in Afghanistan under the Taliban, and in Ukraine where Russian soldiers use rape as a weapon is analogous to Arkansas, where pro-lifers run…

In a truly puzzling piece of clickbait, Washington Post columnist Jason Rezaian -- who reported from Tehran for the Post until he was taken hostage by Iran for 544 days -- proclaimed he was rooting for Iran to beat the USA in the World Cup soccer tournament....since it would keep the focus on Iran's dismal human-rights record. But Iranian dissidents were rooting for the USA! 

Where are the American feminists and “progressives” when we need them? You know, the men-versus-women, pro-abortion types who say things like the reversal of Roe v. Wade represents “men wanting to tell women what to do with their bodies”? Last month, on Sept. 16, Mahsa Amini, a 22-year-old woman living in Iran, died in a hospital three days after being arrested in Tehran by the state’…

Injustice in Iran provoked AOC to come close to criticizing radical Islam as oppressive for women. But she couldn’t quite get there and fell back on her usual woke pablum. 

On Friday’s edition of The View, the broken clock struck correctly as the ABC cast railed against the oppressive and murderous regime in Iran and promoted the nationwide protests there after a woman named Mahsa Amini was brutally killed by the country’s morality police for not wearing a hijab/headscarf correctly. But the moment was spoiled by co-host Joy Behar who had to cram in…

Playing second fiddle to Scott Pelley’s gag-inducing interview with President Biden on Sunday’s 60 Minutes, CBS journalist Lesley Stahl sat down with Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi and treated him with more respect and reverence than the show usually affords to American Republicans. Stahl willingly subjected herself to Iran’s oppressive customs for women and had the gall to suggest…

In October 2018, agents of the Saudi Arabian government murdered columnist and Muslim Brotherhood fellow traveler Jamal Khashoggi in gruesome fashion. The fallout in the American media was cataclysmic for the relationship between the United States and Saudi Arabia; two years after the murder, then-candidate Joe Biden issued a statement “mourning Khashoggi's death” and calling for reassessment…

“[T]he Islamic Jihad Movement … is able to crush the enemy,” Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khamenei tweeted, praising Palestinian terrorists in his latest violent Twitter screed, which has stayed posted on the platform uncensored for 11 days. Meanwhile, the platform continues to ban former President Donald Trump.

On Jonathan Capehart's MSNBC show, former Trump lawyer turned antagonist Michael Cohen says that Trump took top-secret documents to Mar-a-Lago to use them as a get-out-of-jail-free card. He will say that if jailed, he will have his supporters release copies of the documents to America's worst enemies: Iran, North Korea, China, and Russia. 

As he did on Monday (and numerous times before that), National Security Council spokesman John Kirby helmed much of Tuesday’s White House press briefing to assist the inept Karine Jean-Pierre, but there were was still some tough exchanges and softballs. Of course, Fox’s Peter Doocy was in the middle of it as he battled Kirby over the inevitability of Afghanistan returning to its place as a…

Iran’s Ayatollah Khamenei took a brief respite from attempting to incite violence against America and Israel to call for more censorship of alleged “false claims” online.

On Monday, Washington Free Beacon senior writer Adam Kredo reported on House Republicans launching an investigation into a public broadcaster affiliate allegedly airing pro-Iran propaganda: “Voice of America (VOA) and its Persian-language affiliate are facing a congressional investigation for what Republican lawmakers say is the taxpayer-funded network's biased coverage of Iran and partisan…

Twitter, Facebook and YouTube allow seven dictators, including Russian President Vladimir Putin, unfettered access to post on their platforms, influencing approximately 50 million followers as of March 28. Meanwhile, former leader of the free world President Donald Trump is still banned.
