      Yeah, someone pointed out elsewhere that MSM has only just started reporting it for some reason

        The article you posted is from two weeks ago. And it is from a mainstream outlet. And I’ve seen it posted by several others, two weeks ago. You simply posted an old article.

          Not denying any of that. Just saw it myself, posted it and said what other people have said.

    Something about stones and glass houses… Iran hasn’t quite been nice to young girls either…

      I think we’re all aware that Iran isn’t the best place in the world and using AI isn’t exactly great either, but at least it’ll piss off Trump and call him out on his bullshit.

        No I get it. And it is refreshing to see at least a few countries troll back at him. But lets be honest. They would be best friends if Trump didn’t need a distraction from the Epstein files and if Iran wasn’t as powerful as it is in the middle east.

        It doesn’t change the fact that

        -Legal Age of Maturity: Iranian law defines a child as having reached maturity at just 9 lunar years for girls, compared to 15 for boys, reducing the period of legal protection for young females.
        -Child Marriage: Girls can legally marry at 13, and some even younger with court permission, resulting in over 16,000 marriages involving girls aged 10–14 in the first half of 2021.
        -Discrimination in Law: The legal system enforces unequal rights, such as discriminatory inheritance laws (Article 907) where female heirs receive less than male heirs.
        -Restrictions: Girls face strict, state-mandated gender segregation and dress codes (hijab) from a young age
        (Wikipedia)

        The difference is that it is legal there, and illegal here.

          Definitely some horrific stuff going on over there, probably in part thanks to democracies being toppled by the US, pushing back any progressive values having any chance.

          It’s good they’re playing Trump at his own game, not letting the Epstein files be forgotten.

          There’s a lot of states in the US that similarly allow child marriage, but I understand your point.

            That only shows a problem in the US. Not that it is acceptable

            Edit: on second thought I might have misinterpreted your comment. Maybe you are referring to the part where I said that it is illegal here. I am sorry that I didn’t specify “here”. I meant it as the western civilization in general. I don’t live in the US, so “here” wasn’t specific to the US

              You were directly talking about Trump and Iran being friendly in your comment, so yes, I presumed you were comparing Iran to the US.

      That’s obvious. What is interesting is that Iran is using trump tactics against trump. Fuck 'em both though.
