But last time my Iranian friend went home, the police at the airport told her, her sun glasses were too fun and her long coat wasn't long enough. Enough said.

The Council of Guardians has announced a list of more than 5,400 candidates who have been approved to stand for election around the country.
The total is lower than in the last election because more than 2,300 candidates - four times as many as last time - have been disqualified.
These included many of the best-known figures in the reform movement, among them Mohammad Reza Khatami, the president's brother, who heads the biggest reform faction and was deputy speaker of the outgoing parliament.

If you would be in my position will you work in Tehran inspite of all the issues (with my whole family along, husband and kid)?
