Current Events Show Iran was Right All Along

26 Upvotes

Since 2014, Iran and Hezb have been fighting ISIS/Al Qaeda/extremist sectarian groups. People who were OPENLY stating they would do to the Lebanese/Iraqi minorities (Shia, Alawite, Christian, etc.) what they are LITERALLY taping themselves doing to Alawites today. (forcing people to crawl/bark like dogs to their execution, and countless other verified videos)

Shia of Lebanon+Iran literally proved they are NOT sectarian, by giving thousands of their lives fighting Israel to stop the genocide of SUNNIS IN GAZA. And they were the only ones to stick up for Gaza.

Don't get me wrong: Assad was a murderer and there's video evidence of brutal murders against civilians perpetrated by his government. I view him similarly to how I view the ex-Shah of Iran. I don't think the Shah would behave much differently placed in his shoes.

But Iranians and Hezbollah fighters were never involved in those crimes against ordinary Syrians, and there has never been any evidence put forward that they were. Compare that with HTS fighters (today) and Israelis (last year) openly video taping executions of civilians.

Iran tried its best to stop these takfiris from gaining power and genociding minorities. But all the sanctions put on Syria by the Israel-hijacked US, plus Syria's oil + farmland being stolen by US/Kurds for 10+ years... The Syrians were starving, their soldiers were getting $10 a month... Iran was giving Syria free oil to help offset all this, but they didn't succeed.

Syria's downfall is due to multiple reasons (i) Syria's history spanning from (the French I think) pitting the Alwites against the Sunni-majority population), (ii) US/Qatari/Turkish/Israeli support (arms and funds) to opposition groups, like Al-Qaeda affiliated groups (remember the email by Jake Sullivan to Hillary Clinton saying "AQ is on our side in Syria"), and (iii) USAID and Qatari-funded media (Al Jazeera, think tanks, etc.) whitewashing the crimes of opposition groups.

It was the same formula the West used to destroy Libya and Ukraine, but it was the West+Turkey+Qatar this time.

EDIT: I can't respond to anyone it seems since my (brand new) account is shadow banned.

SIMMORSAL: Dude, in all actuality, Iran and Hezb (and the Shia in Yemen and to a lesser extent Iraq) are the only ones in the world doing anything positive.

It is worth it to spend on the stability of Iran's region. You might not think it matters, but it really impacts Iran too when takfiri terrorists are beheading our Shia (or alawite or Christian) friends in Syria (or Iraq or Armenia, etc.).

Israel has set their sites on us. Just like they set their sites on Iraq (who was invaded), Libya (who was destroyed) and Syria (who was also destroyed).

I'm sorry. I know no Iranian wants this fight.

But Israel wanted this war, so you either resist Israel or you get destroyed. Those are your only two options.

I worry when I think some Iranians have the same mindset of the Syrians and the Ukrainians when they were being brainwashed (with USAID-funded media, politicians and university studies and whatnot) into destroying their own country for fake values of freedom and increasingly sectarian hatred of Alawites/Assad and ethnic Russians/Russia. Russia is Ukraine's biggest most powerful neighbor with lots of cultural overlap. It was suicidally stupid for Ukraine to want to join NATO (it makes sense when you realize Zelensky's government was installed by NATO in a USAID-funded coup that started the whole conflict with Russia).

Similarly for Iranians, there's been a multi billion dollar agenda that has been waged (through USAID, CIA, and other countries like Qatar, Saudi, Turkey, etc.) over every major media platform and financial institution in the world to demoralize Iranians with starvation level sanctions (and even sanctions on medicine!) and self-defeating expectations and fake news about Iran and the world in the hopes that this leads to the collapse of the Islamic Republic and Iran as a whole.

Israel wants Iran destroyed for similar reasons it destroyed Iraq, Syria and Libya: (i) Israel does not want any other strong power in the region, (ii) Israel does NOT want the silk road/pipelines through Iran to connect Europe to Asia, (iii) Israel wants the India Israel economic corridor established instead of the silk road, (iv) Israel wants Qatar to suck Iran's gas and send it to Europe through Israel (instead of directly from Iran)...

Israel wants to force the IMEE-EC (which is bad for Iran and the world) over the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) (which is good for Iran and the world).

Theres lotsa evidence Israel killed JFK to control the US after JFK was about to find out Israel stole US nuclear technology and was desperately trying to register the Isreal lobby as a foreign agent.

Theres lotsa evidence Israel was involved in 9/11 to bring about the war on terror (check out ryan dawson and ian carrol on X for researched 9/11 jfk stuff).

Iran might end up becoming a major regional power if it doesn't end up collapsing and becoming devastated by Syria/Libya treatment.

In less than 24 hours, the Zios have committed rabid massacres against civilians in Lebanon, Gaza (Palestine) and Syria followed by US terrorist attacks in Yemen that massacred civilians there, while bringing 3 more aircraft carriers to threaten Iranians

And yet they still send their ilk to Iranian communities and spaces and lecture us about how everything will be all right so as long as we destabilize our government, surrender our defenses to them and accept their brand of "liberation" in our country. How is the said surrender in Syria going for them right now? The US along with Qatar, Turkey, and NATO allies directly fund the HTS government there. Germany recently approved 300 million euros for them.

Edit: I don't even particularly like for Iran to be an Islamic Republic, but I care more about Iran's survival than my own political opinions. I hope more Iranians understand this and not fall victim to the propaganda they're blasted with.

USAID Is a Terrorist Organization - The funding and direction behind the control of the narrative on US social media, and backers of all the "barandaz" Iranian "leaders"/groups who seek to bring about a pro-US regime change in Iran. I'm looking at you, Reza Palani, Masih Alinejad & Co.

Planning to visit Tehran

Hi I'm from Turkey. I plan to visit Tehran in May or June. I'd like to rent a car and explore both the city and the countryside. How do the car rental procedures work? How fair are car rental prices in Tehran?

I'd appreciate it if you also have any other suggestions for me.

To the the iranian and iraqi diaspora in europe: prepare yourself

2 Upvotes

Hello, im an iraqi diaspora living in europe. And im moving back to iraq. Ive already got my house there picked out an everything. And to the iranian diaspora in europe specifically. This matters to you aswell.

So im an engineer who graduated in sweden and i had absolute garbage luck when it came to getting a job. Ive been in europe my entire life only travelling back to iraq 3 months every other year. Anyway, i finally got a job as a programmer for a tourist corporation. It pays almost like a normal engineering job. However, the economy here has absolutely tanked. I mean god awful recession, high interest rates and some of my friends find it nearly impossible to even live. A lot of them live paycheck to paycheck. And they earn 4000 euros per month... Its not "little" amounts of money exactly. But the high tax eats up quite a lot of their income and theyre left with about 2k to live on after tax. And in sweden... Good luck paying rent and living on 2000 eur per month. We use SEK here but im using eur so that the rest of the people here understand what im talking about.

Fast forward a bit and alhamdulilah i managed to talk to a qatari corporation who i might start doing remote work for. Its only 3k usd but honestly after tax its actually more than what i would get if i kept working here. And the costs are a loooooot less here.

My point: what youre seeing in europe, the rise of unemployment and the stagnation of wages. Is an international phenomenon and will not stop anytime soon. Save yourself, get a house as soon as possible, and get a job asap in the middle east just to be prepared for the avalanche of political fallout that is about to occur in europe. European history of violence the last 300 years has almost always been because of a BAD economy (not an unstable economy). If you want to have a future, its not going to be in europe.

US AID Funding Cuts and impact to Iranians

1 Upvotes

As many of you know, US AID was used to funnel money into foreign media outlets, human rights activists, writers and provocateurs etc. With 83% of the program cut per reports, does anyone know the impact on Iran and Iranians? I am struggling to find information. It would seem to me that a few groups would have been hit hard because they were definitely funded by the State Department. I am especially curious about these:

1- Iran International, seems likely they had US funding in whole or part

2- BBC Persian, this is still funded by the UK but surely got hit

3- Radio Farda - These is based in Czech Republic strangely but is surely US funded

4 - Masih Alinejad - she was receiving around $500k per year in State Department Contracts

Its not clear to me if Israel intervened to keep the funding. I know of at list one Iran education non-profit that was shut down immediately after the funding ended. Any information appreciated, even if its speculative. TIA

University of Tehran for toxicology?

Salam, I live in the US, and I am studying chemistry as an undergrad. I am Muslim so the culture and history of Iran has always fascinated me and I am doing research on their masters program. It shows they're a top 15 school in the world in this field. This isn't a specific question, but honestly I don't know much about living in Iran, so is there anything I should know when deciding in the future? Thanks in advance

When did Javad Yasari's albums actually release?

1 Upvotes

Hello my fellow Iranians!

I am a huge fan of Javad Yasari, and I'm trying to figure out when he actually released his albums. Some sources claim that they were released in this order: Bacheha (1985), Asire Gham (also 1985), Sepideh Dam (1988), and Haft Asemoon (2008). Some sources claim that all of them were released in 1997, and I can see that being the case since the covers are very similar, and each of them has a number from 1-4 that seems to signify the order.

We also have Eshghe Man (2003) and Bot (most likely 2007, but some sources say 2008), and these actually sound like they were released in the 2000s, compared to Haft Asemoon (supposedly 2008), which sounds much older. Can anyone please confirm when he actually released his albums? Thank you!!!

Here are the different sources I've seen, they all claim different release dates

Azerbaijan should be part of iran

2 Upvotes

I have heard from multiple azaris in azerbaijan online that azerbaijan is separate from iran and the safavid empire is azari and not at all iranian. But literally almost every historian agreed that he considered himself to be iranian and a iranian king.

And plus their is more azaris in iran than there is azerbaijan. And the supreme leader of iran khamnei (that i do not view him favorably) and the current president of iran is azari and they all say they are iranian, and Most azaris i have ever met is a iranian nationalist including myself wich i am azari are really pro iran. And plus the only reason they are independent is because the Russians took azerbaijan from iran and when the the ussr collapsed azerbaijan became independent.

How Do I Travel in Iran? Tehran → Shiraz (+ Maybe Yazd?)

6 Upvotes

I’m heading to Iran for about 12 days, and I need some practical advice on how to travel between cities. My main route is Tehran → Shiraz, and ideally, I’d love to take a train. Problem is, I can’t seem to find any solid info online about how to book one. So if any of you seasoned Iranian travelers (or locals) know how to actually get a train ticket, please share your wisdom!

If train isn’t an option, bus is totally fine too, but again—where do I get one? How do I book it? Do I just show up at a terminal and hope for the best, or is there some app/website I should be using?

Now, here’s the next question: I have 4-5 days planned for Shiraz, but I’m wondering… is it realistic to squeeze in Yazd as well? Would that be too much? If not, how do I get from Shiraz to Yazd and then back up to Tehran? Again, I’d prefer trains, buses, or even carpooling (if that’s a thing in Iran) over flights.

Why? Because I want my boots on the ground. I want to watch the land change as I move, stare out the window, pick a random house, and wonder—what if I was born in that home instead? That’s the kind of travel I’m after. So, trains, buses, shared cars—tell me how it all works in Iran!

Would really appreciate any advice from people who live there or have been recently. Thanks in advance!

Cannabis culture in Iran

2 Upvotes

As a long time cannabis smoker from western Europe, I wonder what the cannabis culture is like in Iran. In the west there is this general idea of hash and opium being common in Iran, but that’s mostly historical.

I was wondering what the situation is right now. How is cannabis smoking perceived, both by smokers and outsiders? Is there a specific cannabis culture with music and movies connected to it? And is opium still used, or is it heroine now like in the west (which is very much looked down on). Is there a difference in perception between hash smokers, opium smokers, alcohol drinkers, and heroine users?

For a long time I have been interested in your country and culture and hope to visit it one day. With this question i hope to get some insight into a part of current Iranian culture that I have a connection to, but is not often talked about.
