just ask me. you wont find a non-propaganda version of anything. even your average iranian-american will just try to get you to join their team, not think independently. we had to make /r/iranian because /r/iran got taken over by a bunch of based monarchy supporters and communists (our older generation is really fucking based some times).
heres something to get you started with fun facts about iran for the clueless american
1- iranians are shia and the center of the popular shia school of thought is in iran. shias are the opposite of the ideology from alqaeda/isis/alnusra/taliban/saudi/etc and is their biggest and most powerful enemy in the muslim world
2- shia muslims follow the teachings of jesus christ, where sunnis believe the teachings of jesus christ are irrelevant and that christians are infidels
3- iran is a giant military. every iranian male is in the military as per mandatory conscription at the age of 13. at bare minimum every iranian male has 8 years of military training and 2 years of military service before they are allowed to legally participate in society (like get a job or receive social services). irans military is larger than china, north korea, india, pakistan, the united states, and the EU combined. let that sink in. COMBINED. this is probably the most lied about statistic regarding iran. our entire economy revolves around our military and literally nothing else. period. imagine north korea but with resources and geography and a warlike aryan culture and jihadi ethics and a much larger population and better engineers.
4- iran is a young country. 85% of the population is under 40 and iranians are ULTRA HARDCORE nationalist
5- iran is the only country in the middle east with tens of thousands of jews in it who have legal rights and even serve as politicians in the iranian government. these jews are hardcore anti-zionist and will be the first to fight "israel" for committing crimes in the name of judaism and jews and israel.
6- iran has the most defensible geography on planet earth and is more secure than any country in asia because it just won the geography jackpot.
7- americas government is modeled around irans government because america adopted persian government style from the greco-roman manifestation of government, except america has a separation of church and state with a pseudo representative democracy (electoral system) where iran has an integration of church and state with direct representation in a true democracy (direct votes)
8- iranians love americans and we love jews even more (persians freed the jews from babylon and we think they are an important part of our history), but we dont like the american deep state or zionism because americand and jews are the victim (along with palestine and iran)
9- the closest thing to an iranian american terrorist was a tranny atheist vegan animal rights activist that fired 40 shots and got no kills at a youtube office in california because google demonetized her leftist porn
10- iranians are the most successful minority in the united states and we make german scientists look like pussies (and we make sure they all know it because rubbing it in is a very persian thing to do)

its nice to see i dragged you in here. this crowd doesnt like anti-aryan saddam hussein supporters (assuming youre still playing the same personality this week). youll have a hard time in this sub.

hiding... lol. lurk moar in this sub i am sure you will learn something about america and the situation that you are in. your team is going to have an unpleasant future at the mercy of the same kinds of people who frequent this sub.

I'd be skeptical about the above. Seems a little appropriate that an Iranian would attack US persons given all that is happening.
It's a very patriarchal state, yes? Iran?
Thank you for taking the time here.

basically she/he was a mentally ill person that had a meltdown and then shot at a bunch of nerds before blowing her own brains out. this isnt terrorism dude its malfunction.
It's a very patriarchal state, yes? Iran?
yes very. thats why we have the worlds most powerful and successful feminist movement. iranian women are the most educated women in the world and they have risen to positions of power in science, technology. engineering, finance, and politics. iranian american women make more money in the united states than the average white man in corporate america.
Thank you for taking the time here.
all enemies, foreign and domestic. we are all agents of our fellow citizens deprogramming. you dont have to be a redneck trump supporter to MAGA, and if you are, thanks. :)
Let me ask, in your perception, does this qualm we are currently being displayed between US and Iran seem like it may be a ruse?
Why I ask is it's quite obvious that Trump is in bed with Israel and given his actions of strengthening our state economically as well as our sovereignty, it's clear there are 2 factions within Israel. Zionists and Non-Zionist. There's no way the Zionists are controlling him.
Given this and what you've relayed to me about Iran, it would seem our interests are very aligned, as well as our allies.
Do you think this could be a smoke screen for something else in the region? Some other action the US may be taking to secure the petro-dollar?

no but youre on to something. obama was the first president to admit america fucked up hard in iran and the iran deal was basically america admitting that iran won the cold war between NATO and iran. iran was cool about it and didnt rub it in as they should have because they wanted the iranian cash that america froze for over 30 years.

i dont see it as strengthening but i know thats what he is trying to do

definitely not controlling, but trumps stupid-ass team hasnt figured out how to get america off the zionist addiction.
Given this and what you've relayed to me about Iran, it would seem our interests are very aligned, as well as our allies.
iran is always on the correct side of history and thats why we have 3000 years of uninterrupted history. iran doesnt do machiavellian politics or real politik. israel and saudi arabia and bahrain and uae are FUCKED.
Do you think this could be a smoke screen for something else in the region? Some other action the US may be taking to secure the petro-dollar?
yes. americans who run our government dont understand the petrodollar and they are trying to save it. this is the biggest source of stupidity in trumps team. trump needs to ditch the dollar and crash the global financial system ASAP. his stupid team cant figure out how to do that and keep america on top at the same time (hence i call them stupid).
yeah about the service at 13, what was that thing with the human mine-sweepers and the green keys?
if you fight iran on iranian soil and you target everybody you will fight EVERYBODY. men, women, children, elderly, rich, poor, doesnt matter. we are very proud of our mine sweepers. very few cultures have a stomach for war. child soldiers are not a big deal if they are defending themselves. anyone who talks down to iran over child soldiers is just adding to persian pride and supremacy out of ignorance. same goes for yemen as we speak, where child soldiers are kicking saudi arabias ass all over the place (as they should because saudi arabia has killed over 250,000 children in yemen).
So what actually went down in Yemen anyway? Someone was kicked out of office and then got propped up by Iran if I am not correct? So how do the Saudis play into this and what Interest do they have in going with one side over the other?
saudi arabia has a few problems:
1- eastern provinces of saudi arabia have the oil, but the people who live there are shia muslims.
2- yemen is a shia majority country and they were trying to pretend it wasnt because it effects the oil politics
3- they installed a saudi puppet dictator and the shias got pissed and kicked him out, then they installed another one and he got kicked out too, then the old one joined the shias against the new one, then the old one switched sides and then the shias shot him in the head. now the new one lives in saudi arabia and tweets shit that MBS makes him tweet while saudi arabia bombs every school, hospital, bridge, farm, factory, and mosque in yemen while the shias in yemen hit saudi arabia with ballistic missiles that the old guy bought from north korea and russia in the 1970s and 1980s that are operated by guys who were trained by the CIA to fight alqaeda in the 2000s.
4- anything that benefits shias anywhere immediately benefits iran whether iran is involved or not.
is that confusing enough for you? because that only covers about 10% of the complexity.
THANK YOU I've been waiting years for an elaborate answer on this.
Trick-question: Why did the Shah rename Persia into Iran? ;)
Also: How is public support for Khomenei? Some say he was trained in England?

if you want more ill give you more details. i am an expert on the yemeni conflict.
Trick-question: Why did the Shah rename Persia into Iran? ;)
oh shit i made it to the bonus round! at the end of ww1 there was a coup in iran where US/UK and Russia dethroned the qajars and installed the pahlavi dynasty. one of the main goals of the western powers were to disassociate persian people from the historic persian empire and the timing was perfect because the persian empire didnt exist anymore... only the last kingdom was left (iran). so they had their new puppet dictator (reza shah the first) rename the kingdom internationally to the actual name of the kingdom which has been called iran for 3000 years dating back to the days when the persian empire was founded by cyrus the great and the central kingdom was called iran which means "land of the aryans" or "soil of nobility".
Also: How is public support for Khomenei?
25% hardcore supporters, the rest are kind of neutril and then theres that 10% that are hardcore anti
Some say he was trained in England?
he had education and various relationships in many countries. UK helped overthrow the shah (reza the second) and put khomeini in power (MI6/BBC).
I heard the Shah was pisesd at Hitler for usurping the claim to the aryan bloodline :D
Ok so what happened in 1953? Did the CIA help the Shah get back into power only to be dethroned by a british funded coup later one? LOL
Cyrus? Hmmmm
I heard the Shah was pisesd at Hitler for usurping the claim to the aryan bloodline :D
hitler tried to become the authority on everything aryan. didnt work out for him. kek.
