Carla Bruni-Sarkozy 'a prostitute', claims Iranian media
Iranian state media called France's first lady Carla Bruni-Sarkozy a "prostitute" on Monday in an unusual attack on the wife of a world leader that shows deep anger over her support for an Iranian woman who faced death by stoning for adultery.
The wife of French President Nicolas Sarkozy has condemned the stoning sentence against Sakineh Mohammadi Ashtiani, which Iran suspended after an international outcry.
Ashtiani, a 43-year-old mother of two, could still face execution by hanging.

Tehran says Bruni insult 'incorrect'
Iran sought to distance itself yesterday from harsh remarks by a hardline newspaper , which called France's First Lady a "prostitute" for condemning the stoning sentence against an Iranian woman convicted of adultery.
A Foreign Ministry spokesman, Ramin Mehmanparast, said insulting foreign dignitaries like Carla Bruni-Sarkozy is incorrect and not sanctioned by the government. The Kayhan daily called Bruni-Sarkozy a "prostitute" on Saturday, repeating its criticism yesterday with the addition that the French First Lady deserved to die.

The French Foreign Ministry said it found the comments unacceptable and had brought the matter up with the Iranians. "We are making known to Iranian authorities that the insults made by the Kayhan paper and picked up by several Iranian internet sites regarding several French public personalities including Mrs Sarkozy are unacceptable," said a spokesman, Bernard Valero.
