TEHRAN (Reuters) – Iran has banned the production of Valentine's Day gifts and any promotion of the day celebrating romantic love to combat what it sees as a spread of Western culture, Iranian media reported.
The February 14 celebration named after a Christian saint is not officially banned but hardliners have repeatedly warned about the corruptive spread of Western values. Under Iran's Islamic law, unmarried couples are not allowed to mingle.

I just started reading Not Without My Daughter, involving Iran, and the suspense is so great, every page, it's all but got me smoking two cigarettes at a time, while reading it!
I saw the movie with Sally Field in it, but this book is 10X more exciting.
With this, we should send every woman in Iran a Valentine's card!
I agree, the book is much better than the movie and I think the movie is great.
I read "Reading Lolita in Iran." True story. And it serves to remind us that we really are free. We can read what we want and send Valentine's Day cards if we want.
I have a feeling someone is gonna send him a mushroom cloud before long. With love of course... LOL!
I hope they don't do it while we have troops on the ground in Iraq and Afghanistan.
