Iran's Nice Side

The government of the Islamic Republic of Iran is actively promoting art. Two new works of Iranian veteran artist, Mahmoud Farshchian (right), called Sham-e-Ghariban (The night of the dispossessed) and Aseman-e-Chaharom (The fourth heaven), were unveiled in a ceremony attended by Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif (left, in a typical gesture) and his wife. There was a time when we had excellent relations with Iran.
