Social networks in Iran have been flooded with compromising footage featuring several known ultra-conservative officials engaging in homosexual activities. While homosexuality is punishable by death in Iran, the Iranian regime has attempted to deny the videos and cover up the scandals. We spoke to a former religious authority who says authorities are trying to “save face” by refuting the wave of videos.

    I’m not buying it. For one thing, there’s a ton of porn falsely labeled Iranian or Saudi or Afghan, because they’re advertising it as taboo or scandals. It almost never is.

    This is a dumb article talking about a politician in a sex scandal and trying to make it sound like an epidemic against an entire government.

        Why do you assume I didn’t read it? I did. There’s no verification it’s the same person. Man with black hair and a beard, describes most of Iran.

          Because you clearly didn’t read it. And still haven’t read it. What is the point of posting like this?
