To my knowledge Iran is the only country in the Middle East that has a condom factory. Some years back (the mid to late 80's I think) they also had a nationwide birth control education campaign that really helped them cut back their birth rate. Condoms were available free from the government. So it's not too shocking to see this in Iran, even if it's leaders are upset.
I can't remember the source I got this from, but I think it was from the book "The Arabs" by David Lamb. Either that or one of those random left wing sites on the internet
