You are making me confused. You hate the Islamic regime ,Islamic religion and the Arabs yet you are supporting the Islamic regime and what they doing in the region. You Iranian nationalists are weird you hate the regime but you supporting them when it come to their spread of influence and the revival of the so called Persian Empire.

No, you are just confused without a reason. Nationalists, Islamists and citizens with other ideologies who just want to stay independent are united in defending the country and its borders. If Iranian muslims find more power in their religion than nationalism to defend the country, then good, no problem! They should be free to believe in the religion they like and I will not force them to accept other religion.
It's not that simple, some policies of Islamic republic are PERFECT, some are bad. I like the following Arab speaking people (Yemen, Syria, Lebanon, Iraq, Oman).
I support Islamic republic because they defend the borders, they're independent, they started a defence industry to protect Iranian citizens, they are against international zionism/world jewry, they are against foreign forces in the region, they're for cooperation between regional countries.
If you consider these factors as "persian empire", then ok, I guess many countries in the world like persian empire scenario for their own countries.

History says otherwise, you treated the Arabs with racism and ruthlessness. Just how your empire destroyed many Arab cities and killed Arabs Kong’s like Al-numan III.

Every empire has good & bad attributes but Iranians usually treated good with the people that they had conquered.

You never conquered any Arabs let alone Yemen, lol. 1 Yemeni king allying with you against an Ethiopian king. Even the Arab Lakhmids ruling Southern Iraq and Northern KSA were independent and were at times allied with you and sometimes at war with you and allied with Romans.

The only area of Iraq that you controlled for a while was Eastern Iraq and central Iran. West and South was independent.

Not to mention that almost all of your pre-Islamic culture is Semitic in nature. Even the language of your earliest rulers (official language was ARAMAIC - a language very close to Arabic), their script, alphabet and even their first capital (Babylon), lol. Whole beaurocratic system was copied on the previous Assyrian Empire that dominated the region at that time. Even the title (King of Kings) is an ancient Semitic title used by Semitic kings from Yemen to Egypt.

Even your avatar (new invention) is modeled after the Semitic model of displaying rulers. Look how similar it is to the Sargon of Akkad model (first and oldest preserved statue of a ruler in the world)

What are you saying right now is not what you used to say while ago about how the mullah are globalists and how Islam have no future in Iran. Now you say the mullah are independent anti zionists and not globalists what made you change your mind?!

In fact they wanted the lakhmids to protect their borders from the Arab raiders because no one knows the area and the geography with wars tactics better than the Arabs them selves.

The second clip with the dancing lady was nice song, but the rest of the clips.. it's supposed to be war propaganda, but the propaganda effect is rather weak. Just compare it to this:

Iranians used saudis as cannon fodders agaisnt romans for one and half millennium and they ruled today arab speakers from Iraq to Libya for centuries.

The first videos posted have nothing to do with war actually. Third is a poem. Fourth is about martyrs and giving your life for your country, religion and fellow soldiers. Speech that is with background melody from some movie. Only the fifth video qualify and the sixth posted in post 34.

The footage was what mattered.

There is no need for any propaganda you have religious anasheed for that if religiously motivated or patriotic songs. There are many excellent ones.

Shia Arab militias (like any Arab militancy ) have great melodies, anasheed etc. as well. Even Al-Nusra and ISIS had a few good melodies, lol.

Arabic is just a very melodic languages and poetic. Many genres.

Not really, and even if that was true(not true at all) this just prove that your people can’t fight.

LOL. You did not control a single territory in KSA and those maps are not accurate at all. You never controlled, Libya, lol.

Arab dynasties in Sham and Mesopotamia (just a tiny small part of the areas Arabs inhabited although important) were mostly independent and were at times allied other times not. Same with Romans.





Parts of Egypt lasted some 100 years ago and left no traces. Same story everywhere else in the Arab world. The only exception is Iraq where this monument is left:



The influence as I wrote was mostly a one-way traffic (Semitic civilizations influencing all the fundaments of your pre-Islamic civilization) and after Islam the same continued for obvious reasons.

Even the mentioned areas all had their own rulers.

Compare this to just what the Nabateans (native to Hijaz) left in Iraq alone (Hatra) from the same time period and it is a bit of a joke. Even your Persepolis is a bit of a joke compared to Petra which has been voted as a wonder of the world. It is also larger.

Anyway Arabs and Persians (who were just a small minority) did not have much hostility back then. Only after the Arab Islamic conquest of Iran and destruction of the Sassanians and the end of Zoroastrianism playing any role in the region.

Your longest presence was in Iraq. Everywhere else was very short. Some 100-150 years at most. If we are talking about the Arab world here. That present was superficial too as there was little cultural influence from your part as much if not most of your pre-Islamic culture was Semitic in origin. Just telling the truth here as stated initially where I gave plenty of such examples that confirm what I say.

What are you saying right now is not what you used to say while ago about how the mullah are globalists and how Islam have no future in Iran. Now you say the mullah are independent anti zionists and not globalists what made you change your mind?!

1. I still disagree with many islamist policies inside the country and opression of Iranian nationalism because Iranian nationalism can be a very strong tool now against foreign agression. The globalist element of Islam causes the clash with Iranian nationalism, I rather have them working parallelly next to each other instead of clashing with each other.
So Yes, I'm still enemy of globalist element of islamism. It is very dangerous because it causes simple minded people to think ok, instead of islamism we should go for westernization. The Iranian alternative is not promoted, is banned, while Islamism is promoted inside the country and westernization by the foreign media (tv's, internet, so called opposition groups etc).

2. Islamic republic with its globalism ideology, is fully independent and I have always praised the independency of Iran. Soviet union with its globalist view was also fully independent. Having an internationalist ideology and view, doesnt mean that your country can't be independent. Here you made a mistake. North Korea for example, with its communist view, considers Israel as an imperialist satellite.

3. I ALWAYS supported REGIONAL forces: Hezbollah, Houthis, etc.

4. I have Always been against foreign forces in the region.

5. I have always been against westernization.

6. We Iranians rally around the flag when foreigner wants to attack us, that's why you might have the impression that I've changed my views, but not at all. In this dangerous times, internal conflict is very stupid. For example I heard 2 groups of students in university were fighting each other about hijab... during days when trump was threatening Iran with war. Very very stupid, and ofcourse very very stupid to have this hijab rule which exactly divides the country 50-50 according to recent polls. Let the hijab be a free choice of women while keeping ban on nudity.

7. The only change I've been through is changing from neutrality towards Israel into anti-zionist, even sometimes anti-jew person. Still I would agree with a 2 state solution, but with a much smaller Israel than now + isolated, weaker Israel.

8. Lastly, unlike you, and many others here, I don't recycle my nickname whole the time (because change of ideology or anything, which I haven't unlike many flip flop guys here). Shapur Zol Aktaf has been here for years now.

21 wounded.

RIYADH (Reuters) - Yemen’s Houthi movement launched an attack on Abha civilian airport in southern Saudi Arabia on Sunday that killed one person and wounded 21 others, the Saudi-led coalition battling the group in Yemen said.

Houthi-run Al-Masirah TV earlier said that the Iran-aligned movement had targeted Abha and Jizan airports in the south of the kingdom with drones attacks.

“A terrorist attack by the Iran-backed Houthi militia targeted Abha airport, killing a Syrian resident and wounding 21 civilians,” the coalition said in a statement carried on Saudi state television.

It did not confirm an attack on Jizan airport.

Saudi-owned Al Arabiya TV said a suspected drone hit the parking lot in Abha airport, which is about 200 km (125 miles) north of the Yemen border and serves domestic and regional routes.

Saudi state TV said flights had resumed at the airport, where operations were now running normally.

Earlier this month, a Houthi missile hit Abha airport in a strike that wounded 26 people.

The Western-backed Sunni Muslim coalition led by Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates intervened in Yemen in 2015 to try to restore the internationally recognized government that was ousted from power in Sanaa by the Houthis in late 2014.

The Iran-aligned Houthis have stepped up missile and drone attacks on Saudi cities in the past month amid rising tension between Iran and Gulf Arab states allied to the United States.

Riyadh has accused Iran of supplying the Houthis with the weapon used in the June 13 attack on Abha airport. Tehran and the Houthis deny coalition charges that Iran supplies the Houthis with missiles and drones.


“DESTABILIZING ACTIVITY”
The Saudi-led military coalition has targeted Houthi military sites around the capital Sanaa and Hodeidah port city.

Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Britain and the United States, in a joint statement published by the Saudi Embassy in Washington on Sunday, voiced concern about the escalation in Houthi attacks - without any mention of the latest drone launches.

The quartet also voiced concern about “dangers posed by Iranian destabilizing activity” to peace and security both in Yemen and the broader region, citing attacks on oil tankers in Gulf waters.

Tehran has denied involvement in the tanker attacks, which no one has claimed responsibility for.

The escalation in violence threatens a U.N.-sponsored deal for a ceasefire and troop withdrawal from Hodeidah, which became the focus of the war last year when the coalition tried to seize the port, the Houthis’ main supply line and a lifeline for millions of Yemenis.

The quartet’s statement called on all Yemeni parties to engage constructively with U.N. special envoy Martin Griffiths to accelerate implementation of the agreement.

The deal, reached at peace talks in Sweden last December, had stalled for months before the Houthis unilaterally withdrew from three Red Sea ports in Hodeidah. The Saudi-led alliance has yet to verify the redeployment or meet it by pulling back pro-coalition troops massed on the outskirts of Hodeidah.

One of the few good Shia Arab militia leaders out there and by far the funniest haha.

I dislike some of the language used on this thread.

There is literally no need to refer to Iranians or any other race as "arabized". I see no benefit in such language. It only serves to sow deeper enmity and push people of that race away from Islam due to the nature of that insult. Yeh I know some of my posts aren't exactly friendly towards people either but don't make my mistakes.

You dislike the regime, so do I, but use some other words. Persians are not your enemy. The ayotollahs are our enemy. For example, the guy who convinced me that the houthis are a major evil is a Persian himself.
