There is a very deliberate attempt by the western media, propagated by western governments, to smear Iran in the press, at every opportunity, to gain our support for military action against Iran.
The headline reads: "Iran Infuriated By Film Of Woman's Stoning"

I do not see anything there about outrage about a film and it is highly suspect not to include a direct quote.
It reeks of propaganda.
Why is there not more press on the thousands of not tens of thousands of women brutally murdered under Sharia law in Iraq since the US occupation began?
...or the thousands of similar cases in recent years in Afghanistan, UAE, Pakistan and Saudi Arabia?
Instead the focus is on 2 cases in Iran.
