Iranian Chill Thread

]Even with his heavy body guard presence he almost got lynched. He's lucky he made it out of there alive. He should be ashamed of himself driving a car like that in a country where people are literally starving because of the policies he supports.

Honestly I don't understand why the Venezuelans don't prosecute him for trying to overthrow the government not only through sanctions instigated by foreign regimes but also if you recall he signed a document and paid a million dollars to some American mercenaries who tried to land in Venezuela and kill Maduro. It was called the Bay of Piglets.

Anyways maybe taking this soft approach has paid off for Venezuela since the US seems to be interested in lifting their sanctions ? However the issue is that Venezuela simply doesn't have the capacity to put a dent in the global oil prices. Iran does but the Americans are so beholden to Israel they won't dare sign any sort of deal.

I agree thats exactly what he should have done… but Unfortunately venezuela is not a very strong state. Maduro barely survived the US onslaught.

If he had attacked this clown which had 0 legitimacy among the venezuelan people. The western media would go into a frenzy about the “legitimate president of venezuela “ being oppressed. And he might have faced direct military aggression from the US.

They hd already taken over the venezuelan embassy.

I think that it would be too much of a blow to Russian military prestige to openly use foreign weapons in the Ukraine conflict. They could be purchasing some components that they are currently running low on ? I'm pretty sure that Iran would only accept foreign currency from Russia like EUR or USD or maybe, just maybe Rubles as credits for future purchases ?

Question is whether multiple flights of the Il-76 heavy cargo aircraft are needed to supply Russia with a few examples of UAV's? This also applies to the hypothesis that Iran's taking delivery of captured ATGM launchers such as the Javelin or NLAW.

And if Russia purchased whole batches of Iranian UAV's for the purpose of deploying them in the framework of its current military campaign in Ukraine, why have they never been sighted?

Thus I think more probable explanations may include the following:
* The freight does not consist of any weapons.
* Perhaps certain raw materials used in weapons production.
* Perhaps ammunition.

Russia has a large production capability for both the above, but with the value of the ruble at record highs and the rial having fallen as of late, Moscow could stock up for cheap some types of ordinance Iran is also mass-producing.

Also Iran would not want to intervene in that conflict to the extent of supplying one side with complete weapons systems. Ammunition (simple bullets, howitzer shells, artillery rockets etc) or raw material however are items whose exact origin may remain unnoticed.

Or maybe the planes weren't loaded with weapons at all. Could also be of course.

Well that was their choice. In any case we saw how quickly the US was able to overthrow their legitimate government.

So the usual clowns here try to quickly suppress and discredit other users who try to show weaknesses on our side.

I want to ask : Who is more of a traitor and loser : Someone that points out the weaknesses and screams for a solution or someone that quickly tries to discredit and claims all is well to keep up the current utter badbakhti situation.

Regarding the latest (public) assasination : So the guy who is in the crosshair of mossad and israel drives around unprotected in a old peugeot 405? Who makes this sh.it up?

Correct. I would add however that in addition to what you rightly observed, we ought not neglect secularized or non-religious audiences and should endeavour to awaken them as well, since although in the minority, they are a reality one needs to take into account.

As you surely know, in the Iranian context there's this additional issue of a certain type of nationalism focused on pre-Islamic history, with a tendency to perceive religion through the "ethnic" prism and therefore to view Islam as a foreign-imposed element alien to and incompatible with Iran. Since the early 20th century, secularists have heavily invested Iranian nationalist discourse and instrumented it as a vehicle to dampen religious fervor on the individual level as well as to promote secularist ideology on the political stage.

There have been religious nationalist currents in Iranian history as well (so-called Melli-Mazhabiun), but they are actually Islamic for the most part, some of them even liberal and western-appeasing, such as Mehdi Bāzargan's Nehzate Āzādi party, which ended up being sidelined at the beginning of the Revolution due to its problematic positions towards the enemy.

Meaning that those Iranian nationalists who unfortunately turned their backs on Islam, seldom consist of truly practicing converts to Zoroastrianism (despite a very few exceptions) - true to their general non-religious outlook, to them Zoroastrianism is essentially a cultural-civilizational marker, not an animate religion supposed to shape personal and public life. They basically consider religion as entirely subordinate to the concept of nation. Which of course is a modern innovation without historic precedents including in pre-Islamic Iran.

The attitude of the latter current of nationalists (referred to as Bāstan-Garā in Iranian political terminology) towards Islam ranges from uninvolved acceptance on the grounds of a specific historic-cultural interpretation that depicts Shiaism in particular as a form of unauthentic Islam conceived locally by Iranians in conformity with their pre-Islamic traditions (which ironically echoes anti-Shia narratives typically encountered in the salafist camp), all the way to outright islamophobia including against Shiaism itself.

I cannot think of any equivalent to this in the Maghreb, except maybe for some expressions of Kabyle identitarianism (not all of course), which may have taken on a tinge of islamo-skepticism.

And then we have other groups in society, including completely apolitical ones, which for a variety of reasons attach less importance to their religion. This is in addition to adherents of secularist political movements other than modern nationalism, such as those on the left - socialists, communists etc.

Now, our discourse should be broad enough to appeal to various segments of society to whom religion does not play that much of a role. Even though they're a minority, perhaps a bit more so in Tunisia, their proportion is large enough to make it necessary for us to inform them, lest we let the enemy recruit and mobilize them for its sinister aims.

Politics is a complex and multi-faceted domain of activity, and we have to act accordingly without betraying our beliefs. There is an interesting saying attributed to the Prophet's (s) grandson, seyyed osh-shohada Imam Hossein (a), addressing the army sent to suppress him at Karbala: "If you have no religion, at least be a free man".

By which the Imam meant that every society, whether religious or non-religious, has certain praiseworthy ethical foundations; likewise, some non-religious regulations happen to mirror religious laws and are common to all nations. Arabs despite numerous errancies still had some commendable rules in pre-Islamic times, such as the prohibition to attack women and children during war. It is these principles that those who do not believe in God and his religion should at least try and observe.

See: https://www.karbobala.com/articles/info/1326

We could refer to this set of rules as natural law. Whoever accepts natural law, whether religious or not, whether pious or even atheist, will be sensitive to these elementary principles necessary to keep society in good working order and to ensure basic decency. Of course we will prefer to see them embrace religion again. But in the meantime, they still qualify as objective allies to us. Hence they should be invited to join us in our struggle against the common foe, which is viciously striving is to destroy the very foundations of natural law through methodical inversion, and thereby to uproot and enslave us all.

In short, it is not just Muslims (and other religious people) who should seriously feel concerned about the imperial mostakber oligarchy's promotion of homosexualism, its pernicious sexualization of children, and many other such deviancies.
Just to add to this, there is a class of Iranians who are forward looking and take the past 'imperial Iran' as not so relevant, are not religious but bow their heads to awesome Shi'a Iran as the powerful thrust of moving Iran into a bright future, and are NOT 'nationalists or patriots' but deep believers in justice and see Iran as the tip of the spear in the great project. Guess who.

I'd like to emphasize 'forward looking' which lack of it seems to be a cultural disease.

Good policy, I always liked Amir-Abdollahian because he cares about Irans interests. Summary of Iran's policy is:

1. Be close with allies
2. Be close with (indirect) neighbours.
3. Look to east (China, Russia, Central Asia).
4. Distrust West, don't reject trade.
