Actually iran asked that only official flags be allowed.

They did not specifically target nor mention the pride flag.

My guess is their intention is to ban the Lion and Sun flag, and banning the pride flag is a happy coincidence for them.

Iran isn't the westboro Baptist Church.

I doubt they care about the rainbow flag. They probably have higher priorities right now.

Political unrest in their own country or flags of hatred probably were the intended target.

But in that case it was very clearly an attack on the rainbow flag. That was their intention.

I don't think anyone was speculating. The people pushing it specifically said it was against the pride flag.

Well, there is the Canadian flag that we should have gotten, and then there is the official flag. However the Pennant should have a blue strip at the top too, in order to represent the arctic ocean.
