Regarding Bahá'ís being accused of being nefarious Zionists - yeah, that's one of the excuses the Islamic Republic of Iran uses for persecuting them. The Iranian government calls the Bahá'í faith a "Zionist cult".
(emphasis mine)
[Gholam-Hossein] Elham said on Tuesday that the Baha'is were members of a group working together "against national interest."
"The group is an organized establishment linked to foreigners, the Zionists in particular," he said.

After Bábís continued to flock to Baghdad to see Bahá’u’lláh, Iran pressured the Ottoman government into removing him further from Iran. The region of Bahá’u’lláh’s exile is now part of Israel and this is seen as the cause of two of the major allegations against the Bahá’ís: first, that they are the same as Israelis and Zionists, and secondly, that their contributions to their World Center in Haifa support Zionist activities.

In 2008 Iranian news channel IRINN aired a documentary called "The Secrets of Armageddon", which claimed that local Jewish and Bahá'í communities were conspiring to take over Iran (mixed more of the usual The Protocols of the Elders of Zion bullshit).

Some quotes from the documentary:
Iranian historian and political expert Dr. Sayyid Hamid Rouhani: Back then, Ayatollah Kashani said about the danger of the Bahais: "Oh people, you are oblivious to what is going. I wish you could read the telegrams I get from people in other towns. Look at the problems these Bahais cause the Muslims there. If they grow any stronger, they will annihilate all the Muslims, because the English plan is to oppose Islam. This way they want to destroy Islam." Ayatollah Kashani sounded this warning bell in an effort to inform the nations of the dangers of the Zionists, and their agents – the Bahais.
Iranian university lecturer Ali-Reza Karimi: Historical documents point to Historical documents point to a connection between the leaders of the Bahai sect and the Rothschild family, who financed and led the World Zionist Organization. [...] The Bahai way of thinking is very similar to that of the Zionist Jews. Just like the Zionists considered Palestine to be their promised land, the Bahais talked about Iran as the promised land. Out of their desire to take over the land and to destroy Islam and the Shia in Iran, they had many dreams and wrote many history books, but with the grace of Allah, none of those dreams have come true.
so that's that I guess...
Anyways, fromchaostocosmos wrote this about Blake Lively. It sounds like this isn't some white woman tears situation.
