I'm almost 100% certain that Iran has a strong environmental ethic. You probably couldn't tell by breathing the air in Tehran, of course, but the Shia regime does take that whole "Allah's creation must be respected" thing rather seriously. Of course they're not near perfect in it - hard to be a developing country with extremely cheap oil and not take a step back for every two forward on hte environment - but the ethic is there, and they're signatories to most UN environmental treaties.
