    Like most people, I do not support this war. However, a quick Google search will prove that this type of oppression of women is common in Iran, with or without America and Israel bombing them. Everything bad Iran does cannot be attributed to America and Israel.

      I got the impression that this specific case was much more outrageous than usual as she got the maximum sentence for it plus she was actually singing a patriotic song.

      I’m well aware than treatment of women in present day Iran is seriously backwards and worse than anything since maybe the 18th century (Persia actually tended to be more modern than their neighbors).

      Nope but articles like this coming out in greater amounts right now are intentionally being pushed out as propaganda to make people feel okay with America committing terrorist bombing campaigns against civilian targets.

      While the content is true, the article itself is explicitly propaganda to justify terrorism.
