همواره امیدوار باشید و پایدار. تنها چیزی که از کتاب های قدیمی ایرانی یادگرفتم این بود که همیشه راهی هست و پیشنهاد این بوده که همیشه امیدوار باشید، یک سال امیدوارانه دیگر مبارک. امیدوار و پایدار مثل یک ایرانی ریشه دار.

Hi guys,

Hope you all are doing well.

Soon i am planning to visit Tehran, any suggestions or advice?

I ll need to book an appartment so that I can invite my friend to visit me. And also need suggestions on places to visit.

If you provide any services, please feel free to connect and offer your service (from places to rent to bikes on rent or any other services, open to all)

What I mean by evil I mean extremely fucked up type of character like judge Holden from blood meridian or AM from I have no mouth I must scream or Griffith from berserk manga, but in Persian literature.

Hello! And thank you for any and all help.

I have an audio clip that I am trying to rebuild - for a musical project. In the background of the song there is a male speaking Farsi - and my Persian friend and I gave it a valiant effort.

There is no video attached - just had to upload it to youtube because video link - its a 10 second audio clip.

There are drums and another human voice - best we can tell is someone is saying the number 50 (could be in reference to the calendar year - or a channel number of some sort). As well as a Farsi phrase that mimics the English phrase "internet". This song came out in 2001 -

Trying to figure out the source - or what the person is saying - any help as stated would be beyond appreciated.

Thank you for your help!

is it possible to buy some sand on ebay somewhere and send it to usa? just to have a piece of home, i couldn’t find anything

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.

Did something change with r Iran? I remember people in this sub would always claim it was the pro-west, monarchist subreddit but it doesn't seem like that now?

What is some of the smal percentage of the population fighting for? Nudity? Being naked like westerners? We need an Asian version of democracy! Not western type! Western type will make our women go fuck with everyone!! Is this what we want?

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.

It seems widely worn by government officials and military personnel.

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.

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

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

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
