The poster of the Ayatollah means these gals mean business!
A friend sent these pictures to me, and the tag on the bottom of the first one is FARS News Agency. Check out its wikipedia entry
here, where it bills itself to "promote the principles of the Islamic Revolution and safeguard national interests". I'm not sure how old these pictures are, but it's a bizarre look into the public diplomacy campaign Iran is running to portray itself as a good guy. To counter Ahmadinejad's holocaust denial, Iranian TV has been running a
TV show depicting a Persian do-gooder saving a Jewish woman from the death camps during WWII. I guess these pics above are to counter Iran's widely documented abuse towards women, but it's kind of hard to tell. Even though I'm a frequent critic of American media, at least it's not completely nutty like Iran or North Korea.
