Does Iran want to stone Carla Bruni too?

Telegraph:

Mrs Bruni-Sarkozy, the wife of Nicolas Sarkozy, the French president, was attacked after she signed a petition calling for the release of Sakineh Mohammadi Ashtiani, who is accused of cheating on her husband and then helping to kill him.

Kayhan, an Iranian newspaper, which is under control of the government, called Mrs Bruni-Sarkozy and Isabelle Adjani, the French actress who is campaigning for Ashtina’s release, “prostitutes” in an editorial, while Iranian state television accused the former supermodel of “immorality”.

...
The Daily Mail has more on the Iranian insult machine. Iran is a country that sanctions the 30 minute temporary marriage for its prostitution services so it seems strange that it would attack Western women in committed relationships. I think the fact of the matter is that the stoning sentence has become a diplomatic disaster for Iran and they are trying to deflect the pressure with insults of those who are pressing the issue.
