Iran was a failed coup. The alleged torture and unfair jailings are played up in the media to create as much tension as possible. More tension and distrust with Iran is politically convenient for the US and its allies.
However, the US-backed coup in Honduras was a success. Excessive coverage of this would be very inconvenient for the US and its corporate friends.

Torture in Iran? Impossible!
“Brutal murder and torture” in Honduras! Now that’s believable. Hell, it’s a certainty. I’ve heard that thousands have been secretly “disappeared” and murdered by a private security firm contracted through Halliburton by the Honduran interior minister, an old friend of Dick Cheney’s from the Ford administration days.

Torture in Iran should be condemned, but it is sickening to see how even independent US media is obsessed with what’s happening in Iran and ignoring the brutal murder and torture being carried out by the fascist coup regime NEXT DOOR in Honduras.
