The Nobel Peace Prize to Narges Mohammadi is a rebuke to Tehran's theocratic leaders and a boost for anti-government protesters. It highlights the bravery of Iranian women who have demonstrated tremendous courage in the face of reprisals, intimidation, violence, and detention.
By giving the Nobel Peace Prize to a criminal charged with spreading propaganda against the state and endangering national security, the West — which uses women's rights and equality to destabilize independent nations — is seeking to flare up anti-Iran tensions in the region, highlighting the paradoxical nature of this decision.
