 * Comment - These, one would assume, are still copyrighted in Iran. As such, they should be hosted locally, with a note that they are not copyrighted in the US as Iran has no copyright relations with the US. — Chris Woodrich (talk) 08:26, 23 May 2015 (UTC)
 * I was under the impression that the WMF's position was that we should respect Iranian copyright, even if the US government does not. Josh Milburn (talk) 11:23, 23 May 2015 (UTC)
 * That it is, but that would apply to Commons. The English Wikipedia only requires that images be free in the US. (And yes, this has been a point of contention before). — Chris Woodrich (talk) 14:25, 23 May 2015 (UTC)
