Here is the news from Iran: "Syria is calm"

(Tehran) What is it with the media of the Middle East and reporting the exact opposite of what is happening on the ground? Iranian Foreign Minister Ali Akbar Salehi said on Sunday, according to the official news agency IRNA:

The situation in Syria is "calm," requiring no repatriation of Iranian citizens there.

Just wondering, Mr Salehi, those Iranian citizens, would they by chance be these citizens?

Syrian opposition fighters who recently took over border crossings in various parts of the country have said they have captured or killed a number of soldiers who hold Iranian ID cards in the past few days.

Christ, what next from the mad mullahs of Iran?
