I am finding this story fascinating.
What I would like to know is: did ANYTHING prompt the story at all?
Could it have been that a bill was being debated in the Iranian
parliament about dress code and, from there, it went to a
fictional "wearing of badges" for Christians and Jews?
Of course, if the story was about, say, Ireland then it would have
been considered a hoax right away. But because it was Iran even a
false story was considered believable.
It will be interesting to see how it plays out.
