@BamdadPirouzi Does anybody ask where this video comes from!? The Irianian government put in on the Internet? Could that be a western propaganda piece? Come on!
**Iran is on fire and that can only mean Simurgh is ready to be reborn**
Right now, as Iran literally burns amid crisis, we stand at the exact sacred moment of **Nowruz** — the ancient Persian New Year of renewal — and Eid greetings echoing everywhere. In this fire, the timeless symbol of **Simurgh** (سیمرغ) rises with profound power.
The Simurgh is no ordinary bird. For over 3,000 years, this benevolent giant from Zoroastrian Avesta and Ferdowsi’s *Shahnameh* has embodied wisdom, healing, protection, and rebirth. She lives 1,700 years, then plunges into flames and rises from the ashes — purifying the land, bringing rain, fertility, and renewal. Her feathers heal the wounded; heroes like Zal summon her in crisis. She nests in the Tree of Life on Mount Qaf, having witnessed the world destroyed and reborn three times.
In Sufi master Attar’s *Conference of the Birds*, the Simurgh becomes even deeper: thirty birds journey through valleys of suffering to find their king, only to discover “Simurgh” means “thirty birds” (*si murgh*). They *are* the Simurgh — unity, self-realization, the divine in the collective.
This converges perfectly with **Nowruz** (spring equinox rebirth, Haft-seen table of hope, house-cleaning for new beginnings) and the fire-jumping of **Chaharshanbe Suri**, where we chant away misfortune and emerge purified. The Simurgh’s phoenix-like cycle mirrors these rituals exactly.
And today? Iran is on fire — yet Iranians are proving the Simurgh’s lesson: from the ashes comes strength. People are coming together in massive rallies showing national unity amid the crisis, with millions gathering in Tehran and across the country to stand as one.
At the same time, everyday Iranians are supporting each other in the most beautiful ways — like bakeries declaring: “Due to the current circumstances, anyone who doesn’t have money or whose card doesn’t work can take as much bread as they need daily… As long as we live, no one will go hungry.”
In Attar’s allegory, the power is in *unity* — the people discovering they *are* the Simurgh. In *Shahnameh*, she is protector and healer. In ancient lore, she purifies and renews the earth. All of it meets here: what burns can be purified, what is broken can heal, and from the deepest trials emerges the most profound rebirth.
The Simurgh has watched civilizations fall and rise again for millennia. Iranian culture has endured fire, invasion, and hardship the same way. This Nowruz, amid the flames, she reminds us: the Persian spirit always rises.
**Nowruz Mobarak** — may the Simurgh’s wings bring healing, unity, and a brighter dawn. Iran is burning… and that can only mean she is ready to be reborn. 🔥🪶
