Comments: At the end of his time, he truly had no one to look after him. Even his friend Rockefeller was in a bind.
Comments: Ok Although Debakey removed Shah’s Spleen that happened in Cario in 1980 - far too late. Dr Bjorn Thorbjarnarson is the one who initially opened him up in Cornell Medical Center (now part of Columbia University Medical School) and removed his gallbladder without removing the Spleen. That act alone would have probably saved his life according to experts or at least prolong it by multiple years.
Comments: Regarding the Shah’s last operation and the outcome of his surgery, I found this documentary reasonably informative. You can watch it on Amazon Prime https://www.amazon.com/Dying-King-Shah-Iran/dp/B078SQ64BZ
Comments: This is a sore point. I have studied and read about his last operation in NYC in Columbia Hospital. If this is that debaky was simply an advisor. The actual operation was performed by a Swedish Doctor. In an interview he did say that he examined the Gull Bladder while removing the Spleen but chose not to remove it. Now, with today’s medical standards he should’ve even if the organ looked healthy. We now know how cancerous cells spread. I personally think he was under pressure from US administration to complete the procedure as quickly as possible and send Shah on his way out of US while hostages were kept captive. He never admitted that much but it was clear that the Hospital administration was given clear instructions- do the minimum n send him on his way. I can dig up the name of the Surgeon if you want
Comments: Not sure how much of this is true, Maghsoud. Reza might know. there is a lot of bullshit around what happened to Shah, created by shahollahies.

Comments: The main problem that Trump is exploring is the fact that there are rules/laws that has not been tested before by any presidents. Because of that, there are no consequences that are clear. All will go to courts to be heard. That is lengthy and painful. Even after the verdict, there is no clear consequence if not followed. It needs more court time to figure out what to do with the president or the administration when they defy the court order! Simply put, they know it’s illegal and will be challenged but it’s better to do what you want, wait for the legal process to play out while you move to the next crazy action!
Comments: That was for faramarz
Comments: I cannot disagree with what you say. Sad but true. 
Comments: Soraya a miniseries about Shah's second wife. https://www.instagram.com/tabantimes/reel/DKp5gk7BAdT/
Comments: In this clip from 2020, the 🤡 says it’s against the law to call in the National Guard unless it’s requested by the governor
Comments: Maghsoud, I agree. Know a few of those people myself. And your point about the rest of the nation finding its voice outside of Iran is very well put. The situation is sort of a hostage crisis. They say we do not want prosperity for Iran, unless we are in charge and site a society from half a century ago. Their big problem is that they do not have a candidate who is willing to lad or even competent to lead. He is also not a person of his own and entirely controlled by the CIA and Mosad. So, the rest of the nation, the great majority, does not follow the small group. We need to, as a whole nation, get over the Pahlavi era before we can start thinking about the future. Instead these people are still hanging on to relics.
Comments: lol, I'd like to challenge many of the things that you are insinuating: 1) The comparison between Iran and USA just does not make sense! Football is Iran's primary sports with so many talents, even with lack of infrastructure. In the US, football is a chilhood sport, equivalent to our own alak dolak. All athletes in the US go to other sports. US, still relies on a very limited pool of talents. In Iran, there is no management of the federation and things run with minimal funding and corruption. In US, the federation is run well. Their problem is that they just do not have the talent. In all the years that they have done well, they did import foreign players and still did not go far. 2) I also do not like to use a single game as a melAk for a general rule. So, the fact that Senegal beat England in one friendly game, does not mean much. But Senegal is a good team, I do agree with you on that. I also agree that Senegal has good talent. But that talent did not magically appear. The relevant question here is where do those talents play. Many play in Europe and have been trained there. So, the infrastructure there helped develop these players. but the relevant question here is how did they end up in the national team. Someone spent time scouting and recruited the right players. then he managed them well and worked them into a cohesive unit. Is Ghandali doing that? Or is he just attending to his other businesses between the games and acts like a benched player? 3. No matter how you slice this, the performance of TM in these games cannot be justified with poor talent. TM lost to qatar that always has had much worst talent than we do, including the current time. The fact is that GN is not really a coach. He is an facilitator. He takes players based on non-football recommendations or the benefit for his personal pocket. When he does that, there is no longer room on the team for more players from scouting. So, the team is made up of a bunch of big names that he has to take hoping they would help him win, and a few "recommended" players. On the game day then, he throws whatever big names he has onto the field and says good luck. In the process, he wastes valuable time and the limited resources without preparing a team. We will then show up at the WC as one of the weakest teams and a new coach who has just taken the job a month before the WC.
Comments: Faramarz, well said. The problem is that the most vocal group of Iranians are Shahollahies. They are very small but very loud. They present this as a shah vs iri argument. They want to take the peace of a nation hostage unless their god comes into power. If that prospect is not there, they want war and death for the country. funny is that they are all sitting here and wishing death only for others. i know many who are monsters here but when they go back (and some of them do that frequently) they become like moosh. then when they r back here, they start again wishing death and war for people of iran. so as long as the rest of the iranians find their voice and present their opinions, iranians will be represented by shahollahies in many situations who are always against peace unless they r in charge.

Comments: lol, I think lack of talent is also a coaching issue. There are always better players than the old ones. The coach needs to do scouting all the time and bring them in to try. CQ spent a lot of time on this and brought some great players from Europe into TM. Ghandali is just sitting on his butt when there are no games. This argument does not make sense and there are plenty of evidence for it. The perfect case is the USA team, they have the best management, facilities and resources and they have hired the best coaches in the world but lack basic talent to become a top team. None of the aforementioned elements can trump basic talent. OTOH, if you have talent you can become a top team with the least emkaanaat, see below to understand why. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0rX0Hlqy7u0 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rflrb2KUL7M

Comments: Zinsky, I think we are at a critical moment in history for the United states with respect to Iran. The US has had a few of these in the past decades and fumbled all of them. May be intentionally, given the Israeli control of the US government. Just like how years ago, before all this shit with Ukraine, US had a unique opportunity to bring Russia in as a NATO nation, dismantle them as an enemy, turn them into a friendly nation, buying the whole world peace, they now have a similar choice. Back then, instead they chose to not include Russia, expand NATO to its borders (against what US had promised to Russia), creating tensions between the superpowers that has led to dozens of conflicts, meddling in other countries' affairs, leading to bloody uprisings and even wars in smaller countries. Millions have died around the world because of this superpower animosity. They now have a clear choice, have an agreement with Iran, allow them enrich uranium for peaceful purposes, monitor to satisfy the mistrusting, bring Iran out of its rogue state, and pave the way for full integration of the country into the peaceful world community, or dismiss the chance, have Iran continue as a rogue nation which guarantees a nuclear Iran, and decades of hostilities in the entire region, leading to thousands to die and entire generations suffer tremendously. The choices are clear. The simple question is whether humanity and long-term world peace will win, or Israel and the military industrial complex. In the past, the latter has won every time. Trump says he is not part of that complex and in fact has gone out to demonize them. Actions speak volumes Mr. Trump. Put your money where your mouth is.
Comments: Zinsky, RGTI is up 20% today!
Comments: Iran's Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said on June 11 that an agreement that can ensure the continued peaceful nature of Iran's nuclear programme is within reach and could be achieved rapidly. He stressed in a post on his X account that such a “mutually beneficial outcome” relies on the continuation of Iran's enrichment programme, under the full supervision of the IAEA, and the effective termination of sanctions. Iran is engaged in indirect talks with the United States over its nuclear programme, with five rounds already held in Muscat and Rome under Omani mediation, and a sixth slated for June 15. The fundamental disagreement centres on uranium enrichment, with the US insisting Iran must cease the activity on its soil, while Tehran regards it as a non-negotiable red line. Iran, however, asserts its ability to provide assurances regarding the exclusively peaceful nature of its nuclear programme, stressing it harbours no ambition to develop an atomic weapon. Araghchi referred to US President Donald Trump’s announcement upon entering the White House that Iran should not have nuclear weapons, saying this position is aligned with Iran’s doctrine and can be used as the main foundation for an agreement. Araghchi posted the text while in Oslo, a visit widely speculated to be for meetings with US representatives ahead of the sixth round of negotiations. European countries have expressed concern about Iran's nuclear activities and cooperation with international inspectors in recent months, in opposition to efforts by the US Trump administration to reach a new nuclear deal with Tehran. |
