Iranians are voicing anger at skyrocketing food prices as the rial trades at a record low of 2.62 million to the US dollar. One resident said a zero-sugar soda and a yogurt came to 5.3 million rials (about $2), sarcastically calling the Islamic Republic "the number-one superpower in the world." Another paid 1.1 million rials (around $0.45) for a malt drink and a cocktail sausage, saying: "I don't know whether to laugh or cry." A third filmed a cake that had risen from 300,000 rials to 400,000 rials (about 16 cents) in a week. Iran's minimum monthly wage is worth only about $63 at the open-market rate, leaving everyday purchases consuming a growing share of people's income.
Sneako eats pork, drinks alcohol, gambles, was recently caught smoking, and commits takfir upon thousands. I do not say this lightly: Sneako is a kafir.

The Nizari Ismaili state
Also known as "Hashashin"(Assassins),
they didn't control vast lands but utilized a network of forts built in high elevation areas & used the rough terrain and hidden passages as a cover to get round from place to place.

I love this. It reminds me a lot of how Singapore's President does their national address. Less a state of the union and more a dev day / product roadmap for the nation.
Totally in line with Henri Corbin I am convinced and devoted iranophile. Iran is above all. Iran is much more than Iran. It is the heart of the world. It the Idea.
Until you get married, you will never understand why most married men cheat. Your wife can decide to close the strait of Hormuz for a whole month and because some men cannot go for long without oil, they decide to get it from Venezuela.
He times these perfectly with byelections happening in Canada to help boost Carney

My wife got pregnant by another man.

Are Iranians people aliens 👽 or humans?
I really have no words to describe such beauty
And I can’t comprehend what type of human brain can have such designs and ideas in his mind

This is unreal
An Iranian man inside Iran is asked whether he dislikes Iraqis.
He says yes, because of the eight-year Iran-Iraq War.
The interviewer then asks if he hates Americans.
He replies: “I cannot answer that.”
The interviewer asks: “Why? We’re also at war with them.”
He responds: “Well, if they attack us, why did they attack us?”
The implication being that if they attacked Iran, they did so to get rid of the regime that is killing its own people.
Now, this sounds super strange to me, since the likes of Dave Smith, Ana Kasparian, Cenk Uygur, and Scott Horton keep telling us over and over again that the Iranian people hate this war, hate America for it, and that it’s only the crazy pro-Pahlavi Iranian diaspora who support the war.
Super confusing.
