There is no Conservative paper in Iran.

Most of what Iran believes is based in Socialism and they support the left.

LOL. Yes, indeed. Sadly, to both the New York Slimes and the 3M's (mendacious Mullahs of mayhem) stretching beyond incredulity isn't really much of a stretch.

I’m stunned - I can’t believe the NYT is actually even talking about Iran’s fundamental, super-critical, number one foreign policy purpose in all matters. Wow.
