Comments: How fucked up is that? 🤷🏻♂️
Comments: In a mismanaged team like Iran that plays three games and is out, scoring two goals and assisting another in the last two world cup is special. The funny part: He is a defender.
Comments: Australia scored an own goal. US is going to qualify today with two wins
Comments: Happy Juneteenth! Ramin is the most creative player in the Cup so far ![]() ![]()

Comments: Now my editorial!
Just in the same way that people's education level hurt Shah as they were uneducated and demanded a religious government, people's education level (now high) is demanding reform and freedom. IMO this is a tremendous force for change. Like it did with shAh, it will also change this government using internal forces to Iran (not necessarily a revolution but a sort of internal government and societal reform without a change could also be in the cards). No bombs are necessary and in fact I argue that every time external powers have used force (Iran-Iraq war, soleimani's killing, continuous Israeli assassinations of Iranian scientists over the years, the two wars with US/Israel), it has all backfired and significantly slowed or even reverted the internal progress. It is my belief that this is what Israel wants, an underdeveloped Iran. I am not sure that this is what USA wants. They have just been following Israel's lead on this.
Comments: From AI as far as post revolution goes for both countries: Following the architectural and political upheavals of the late 1970s and 1980s, both Türkiye and Iran launched aggressive, highly centralized state education initiatives. These reforms virtually eliminated mass illiteracy, drastically closed the gender gap, and permanently altered the demographic landscapes of both nations. [1, 2, 3, 4] 🇮🇷 Iran's Post-1979 Educational MetamorphosisFollowing the 1979 Islamic Revolution, Ayatollah Khomeini declared illiteracy a national sin and established the Literacy Movement Organization (LMO) in December 1979. Iran's educational overhaul operated on two distinct tracks:
🇹🇷 Türkiye's Modern Compulsory Education OverhaulsTürkiye's modern literacy expansion was driven less by ideology and more by structural, mandatory public law designed to align the economy with Western and European Union standards.
Summary: Where They Stand Today
Comments: AI context: Turkiye Context: Türkiye’s literacy rates were closely aligned with the global average at the time (~66%). The foundational alphabet and educational reforms implemented decades prior under Atatürk gave Türkiye a more balanced urban-rural educational network. Iran Context: Despite boasting an 18% larger nominal GDP than Türkiye in 1978, more than half of Iran's adult population could not read or write. The Pahlavi dynasty's "White Revolution" included literacy corps, but education remained heavily concentrated among the urban elite in major cities like Tehran, leaving a 35% literacy gap between urban and rural areas. Over 60% of Iranian women nationwide remained completely illiterate on the eve of the 1979 revolution.
Comments: Iran's Nominal GDP Per Capita in 1978: $2,101. Turkiye's Nominal GDP Per Capita in 1978: $1,510 Iran's Overall Adult Literacy Rate in late 70's: ~37% to 47.5%. Male at 61.8% and women at 35.5% Turkiye's Overall Adult Literacy Rate in late 70's: ~62% to 65%. Male at 78% and women at 48%
Comments: I like the uniform in the video Karim posted. :) Why don't we make that?
Comments: Rashti that video is really upsetting to me. I had this discussion with a bunch of shahollAhiz when I stated that I was surprised to find out that 70% of Iran was illiterate in the late 70's but Turkey had only something like 30%. Their come back was: Why don't you compare Gross national product between the two countries? This is a shocking argument to me. It is true that our GNP was higher, especially the nominal GDP per capita was about 30% higher. But this makes it worse. Where did all that money go? why did we have so many illiterate and such poor regions when our national income was so high, living in the golden age!? In the end, I believe it was the bisavAdi of the population that did shAh in when it was contrasted with all his casting the images of a second Japan for Iran.

Comments: Trump claims Iran’s ‘unconditional surrender’ Trump had also sat down for an on-camera interview with Axios News on Thursday, in which he suggested that Iran’s signing of the MOU “probably is unconditional surrender”. He added that he learned from the war, which remained unrestrained by the US Congress, that there “are no limits” to his power. He also took aim at a handful of Republican Iran hawks who have criticised the MOU. That has included Senator Tom Cotton, the chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee, who has criticised the agreement’s immediate lifting of US sanctions on Iran’s fossil fuel industry, calling it a “step in the wrong direction”. Senator Roger Wicker, meanwhile, criticised both the planned $300bn reconstruction fund for Iran, which Trump has maintained will not be funded by US taxpayer dollars, and the pledge to halt fighting in Lebanon.

Comments: IMO, Trump can now easily identify those who are on the Israeli payroll. All those criticizing him right now are. Democrat or Republican. He promised to drain the swamp. Here is his chance. He has a unique opportunity for this and there is overwhelming public support for it. Do not sacrifice America is all that I have to say.
Comments: Karim khan, That was very funny :) But I don't think Trump can run at all..., LOL.

Comments: Zinsky, Everything you just said about Israel and US was spot on! The bottom line is that Trump is finding himself in a very unfamiliar situation. He has always surrounded himself with "YES Men", because he cannot hear any criticisms. But because of his monumental;l mistake of attacking Iran (listening to Bibi), he finds that a;ll the Yes-Men are either against him or are hiding out. This could indeed be a turning point in US-Israel relationship, if Trump had any backbone. But since he does not, he will have to capitulate to Israel and AIPAC sooner or later. The deal with Iran will be watered down or nullified, and things will just be as they were, slowly. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
