The Scent of Supreme Leadership We are a bit late to this, but, as our fellow news bloggers Max Fisher and Andrew Sullivan have both noted, the Washington Post's man in Tehran, Jason Rezaian, reported on Twitter this week that he had discovered the perfect gift for pious Iranians who like to smoke in their cars: an air freshener in the image of Iran's supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. The package describes the chemical scent as "Atreon," which is the brand name of a Bangladeshi antibiotic used to treat a variety of infections, but more likely indicates that the item on sale in Tehran is a knockoff of a Bulgarian line of fresheners known as Areon. Examination of the English writing on the wrapper shows that the apple-scented freshener is "manufactured from selected perfume-like fragrances" and "refreshes the environment, removing unpleasant smells." Longtime readers of The Lede might recall that Mr. Rezaian wrote fascinating Op-Ed for The Times on the eve of the disputed 2009 presidential election - about hanging out with members of the Basij youth militia as they campaigned for Mahmoud Ahmadinejad - and helped us explain the Iranian government's strange crackdown on mass water gun fights in 2011.
