Shahrzad Mir-Qolikhan (see 0605 GMT)0605 GMT: Yesterday we noted the spectacle of Press TV's non-stop bashing of the London Olympics, culminating in the "analysis" that Zionists would launch a 9/11-style attack on the Games.
A much different tune is being played this morning in Iranian media, as the Islamic Republic celebrates a flurry of victories. Iranian competitors took two golds and two silvers on Tuesday, including the country's first-ever medal in track and field, as Ehsan Hadadi won silver in discus.
And there is a celebration on another front today --- both Press TV and Fars lead with the release of Shahrzad Mir-Qolikhan, held for five years in a US prison on charges of complicity in the import, by her former husband, of night-vision goggles from Austria into Iran.
Mir-Qolikhan arrived in an Omani airport last night and is likely to return to a heroine's welcome in Tehran today.
