Not much. I'm studying abroad and I'll probably return to Iran after I'm done.
No, I didn't mean that they were fundamentalists. They're more conservative than people in urban areas and as you said, they're remote from the influence of globalism. Obviously, Tehran is by far more welcoming...
I don't know about the Zoroastrians that live in other cities (like Yazd, which is an ancient city, home to the highest number of Zoroastrians in Iran I think), but the Zoroastrians that live in Tehran are not doing any differently from others financially. They do well like other people. My...
Those people probably say those things because they want to immigrate under the pretext of religious suppression which is quite trendy these days. Your properties cannot get confiscated without a court order and a court won't even investigate your case without the formal legal proceedings and...
I've heard that there is, but practically, nobody cares. The way that our laws work is that you cannot be persecuted before a case is opened for you. And who wants to open a case for you? A different person cannot file such a lawsuit against you. The only way you can get persecuted is if you...
Definitely in Iran, and among Iranian diaspora. But that doesn't make a difference. Does it? If Muslims can convert to Zoroastrianism, why can't others?
I had never heard that. Maybe that's the way it is in the Parsi community of India?
I have seen Iranians convert to Zoroastrianism who were born to Muslim families.
I think the Parsi community of India is a conservative community that has isolated itself from the Indian society. At this point...
Qatar knows its too small to fight literally any country, that's why it has always acted in coordination with another regional power like Turkey or Saudi Arabia to further its interests. Qatar is far from being in Iran's pocket. Qatar is in Turkey's pocket at the moment and facts (not theories)...
I am saying that your #2 is not what you say it is. Monarchists? Yeah. Nationalists? No, they're not that. But what percentage of the Iranian population do you think support monarchists?
Persian nationalists? The Iranian opposition abroad has lost most of Iranian nationalists in recent years...
Nothing in the world is indefinite. And all systems are capable of change and forced to change.
42 years ago, the revolutionaries arrested people for carrying VHS videos or music cassettes. Nowadays, the internet has forced them to accept that Iranian youths can and will watch anything...
I never thought you said that.
Qatar is a Muslim brotherhood country with strong ties to Turkey. Yet some people think that Qatar is in Iran's pocket. lol
Indeed. Qatar has acted completely against Iran's interests in the region many times. The only thing that stopped them from doing so for a...
I enjoy your posts about Zoroastrianism, but you clearly have no clue about the Iranian opposition abroad. Most of them are over 60 years old and they have never been to Iran for 42 years. They're desperate. They are not organized and they have absolutely no understanding of politics or the...
Your post has serious flaws. First of all, Qatar increased her economic partnership with Turkey multiple times during the siege. So, the question that "Why Qatar did not import as much from Iran?" is indeed a valid and important question.
When was Iran under siege? We're under sanctions but...
Let's focus on your last paragraph. Do I expect Qatar to do those things? Not really. But for a country that was on the verge of starving when her Arab neighbors almost imposed a siege on her, Qatar could import a lot more from Iran than what it did or currently does. So, I think it's a fair...
Does the person who posted this (propaganda) video, by possibly a Baloch separatist group, realize that the video also talks about the ill-treatment of Balochis by the Pakistani forces?
It clearly mentions that the Pakistani forces are forcing Baloch people to install barbed wires along the...
First of all, Mosul is a Sunni majority city. Secondly, It's a well-established fact that Turkey and Qatar were two of the major sponsors of the ISIS and you were caught buying oil from them many times. Your government is currently supporting Al-Qaeda affiliated terrorists (HTS) there.
Turkey...
