Pretty cool comment overall, though I'd like to offer one correction: Iran doesn't force women to be veiled.

They say women should wear head scarves, yes, but not a veil that covers their faces.

In fact, if you go to their capital city many of the women have just as much of their head covered as the nomadic women you saw in these pictures. (Note, in other, more religious areas women will tend to cover all of their hair, but that's the only real difference)
