It's not even progressive or liberal. Just look up the Iranian Islamic Republic and what its composed of. It's billionaires. It's oligarchs. It's theocrats. It's homophobes. It's about as patriarchal as you can get.

They have nothing to say that anyone should care about. The good news is, anyone who cares what Iranian Islamic Republic state media has to say can Google them. It can be very freeing.
