Tehran Iran banned the production and promotion of Valentine’s gifts to fight against the spread of western culture because under Iran’s Islamic law, unmarried couples are not allowed to mingle. Some Iranians suggested to let “Mehregan Festival” takes place the so-called Valentine’s Day on February 14. Mehregan means friendship, affection or love.
