Comments: He will do what the masters tell him to do and if that makes him look like an ass, like it has for the past 47 years, so be it. We have already seen him pivot twice in the last few weeks. When Trump announced that he wanted to make a deal, he said we should wait and not overthrow yet. ![[rofl]](https://cdn.websitetoolbox.com/images/boards/smilies/rofl.gif "Rofl - :lol:")
Comments: Look I am not ready to say a deal will be struck or there will be no military action, but what if this thing drags on for months not days. What is 1/4 Pahlavi’s position here? Advocating for overthrowing of IR with or without US/Israel intervention or is he willing to concede at that point and go back to his old life
Comments: Faramarz it's probably a combination of war fears and better offers from some other Asian clubs or even a promise to replace GN for the WC. Mamad Rabiei has been named the new coach and they are winning 1-0 right now with 10 minutes to go ![[biggrin]](https://cdn.websitetoolbox.com/images/boards/smilies/biggrin.gif "Big Grin - :D") ![[image]](https://news-cdn.varzesh3.com/pictures/2026/02/17/C/0fg3uaam4.jpg?w=781)
Comments: Polymarket currently favoring a deal in making is not good news to him and his ilk
Comments: Most important question will be what will RPG do if they sign a "deal"? Will he go into hiding again? Or will he finally realize that the needs of the people is not attached to the "deal" and starts actually representing the people.
Comments: So no bombing yet 🤪🤪🤪
Comments: The article makes a solid point that I had noticed but didn’t pay much credence to, namely Pahlavi movement is about media messaging mostly not an economic or governance movement with clear goals and responsibilities. Also note worthy is that most its supporters are simply commited to slogans and nostalgia, very few if any are willing to uproot their lives and move back to help rebuild Iran while they seem not to have an issue with US and Israel bombing the shit out of the country. Their logic if not him who then, well if he sits down for a moment and allow the other voices to be heard there are other qualified candidates- from jailed human rights lawyer (they labeled her a sell out to IR), to a Balooch rapper who had his arm broken, his teeth knocked out but still remained in Iran ( they label him as broken under torture and now a tool of IR because he had to write confession to get out), yet their leader is Monday night QB asking others to endanger their lives for his cause - pathetic

Comments: Dana Eden, 52, a producer and creator of the Israeli drama series “Tehran,” died suddenly in Athens on Sunday, during filming of the show’s fourth season in Greece, Kan, the Israeli public broadcaster, said. According to Hebrew media, Eden was found lifeless in an Athens hotel on Sunday by her brother, who began searching for her after she failed to respond to messages. Local police issued an autopsy order to determine the cause of death and began collecting security camera footage and testimony from hotel staff. Reuters, quoting police officials, said the police were investigating the death as suicide, based on evidence and testimonies, and that Greek investigators found pills at the scene. It also reported, however, that a coroner found bruises on Eden’s neck.
Comments: چرا نباید پهلوی... روایتی جامعهشناسانه از نوستالژی، قدرت و حافظهی انتخابی ✍محمد علی پور بازگشت پهلوی، پیش از آنکه یک پروژهٔ سیاسی باشد، یک پدیدهٔ اجتماعی/روانی است. این ایده نه از دل سازمانیافتگی، نه از بطن نهادهای مدنی، و نه از تجربهٔ زیستهٔ کنش جمعی، بلکه از دل خستگی تاریخی، فرسودگی اجتماعی و فروپاشی افق آینده زاده شده است. جامعهای که آینده را ناممکن میبیند، ناگزیر به گذشته پناه میبرد. زیگمونت باومن این وضعیت را رتروتوپیا مینامد، آرمانشهری که نه در فردا، بلکه در دیروز جستوجو میشود. اما گذشته اگر هم زیباتر روایت شود ظرفیت بازگشت ندارد، بهویژه گذشتهای که خود، حامل تناقضهای حلنشده بوده است. پهلوی در حافظهٔ نوستالژیک امروز، نه بهعنوان یک ساختار قدرت تاریخی، بلکه بهمثابه یک تصویر پالایششده و بیتعارض بازنمایی میشود. جامعه، پهلوی را نه آنگونه که بود، بلکه آنگونه که امروز به آن نیاز دارد، به یاد میآورد: نظم در برابر بینظمی، توسعه در برابر فروپاشی، ثبات در برابر نااطمینانی. این بازسازی حافظه، تحلیل تاریخی نیست؛ مکانیسم دفاعی جامعهٔ زخمخورده است. حافظهای که حذف میکند، ساده میکند و سکوتهای ساختاری را به دوران طلایی بدل میسازد. از منظر جامعهشناسی قدرت، بازگشت پهلوی با یک تناقض بنیادین روبهروست: پهلوی محصول شرایط خاص قرن بیستم بود؛ جامعهای با سطح پایین مشارکت سیاسی، رسانههای متمرکز، فقدان جامعهٔ مدنی نهادینه و دولت مدرنِ اقتدارگرا که توسعه را از بالا تحمیل میکرد. جامعهٔ امروز ایران در وضعیت سرکوب و فرسودگی جامعهای شبکهای، تجربهدیده، بدبین به قدرت و آگاه به سازوکار سلطه است. جامعهای که انقلاب، اصلاح، خیابان، سرکوب و زیست دیجیتال را از سر گذرانده، دیگر با منطق قدرتِ متمرکز نجاتبخش کنار نمیآید. مسئلهٔ پهلوی فقط گذشته بودن نیست مسئله، منطق قدرت آن است. نظام پهلوی حتی در روایتهای مثبت نظامی بود که: توسعه را بر مشارکت ترجیح داد دولت را جایگزین جامعه کرد سیاست را از مردم گرفت تا بهجایش برایشان تصمیم بگیرد این منطق، دقیقاً همان منطقی است که در نهایت، خود را منفجر کرد و انقلاب ۵۷ را ممکن ساخت. بازتولید این الگو، یعنی بازتولید چرخهای آشنا: تمرکز، حذف، انباشت نارضایتی و انفجار. از سوی دیگر، پهلوی بهعنوان آلترناتیو، از یک ضعف جامعهشناختی اساسی رنج میبرد: پایهٔ اجتماعی کنشگر ندارد؛ فقط هوادار دارد. هوادار، مصرفکنندهٔ تصویر است، کنشگر، تولیدکنندهٔ تغییر. پهلویخواهی امروز، بیش از آنکه در میدان سازمانیابی اجتماعی، اتحادیهها، شوراها و شبکههای واقعی حضور داشته باشد، در رسانهها، نوستالژی تصویری و سیاستِ کمهزینهٔ آنلاین زنده است. سیاستی که هزینه نمیدهد، سازمان نمیسازد و مسئولیت نمیپذیرد، در لحظهٔ بحران فرو میریزد. بازگشت پهلوی جذاب است چون ساده است؛ اما خطرناک است چون سادهسازی میکند. سیاست، وقتی ساده شود، دوباره به استبداد ختم میشود حتی اگر اینبار با نوستالژی، پرچم و سرود همراه باشد. مسئلهٔ ایران، فقدان شاه یا ... نیست، مسئله، فقدان قرارداد اجتماعی نوین است. و هیچ گذشتهای حتی اگر بزکشده و تطهیر شده باشد نمیتواند جای آن را بگیرد.
Comments: I’m not sure who is buying time here! Maybe both sides… What we know about the second round of talks that just concluded As we reported, the second round of indirect nuclear negotiations between Iran and the US has concluded. Both delegations left the negotiation venue, the Omani consulate in Geneva, after talks that lasted around four hours. The two sides exchanged notes on nuclear issues through Omani mediators, with the participation of experts in nuclear, legal and economic matters, Anadolu news agency reported. This round of talks, which began around 10am Geneva time (09:00 GMT), focused primarily on the technical aspects of the negotiations. The Iranian delegation was led by FM Abbas Araghchi, while the US side was headed by Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner. Both delegations held separate meetings with Omani Foreign Minister Badr Al Busaidi at the Omani consulate before exchanging notes through the mediators.
Comments: lol why did he quite!? He was doing so well in Tabriz! Prospect of war?
Comments: Here is how I see the situation: 1. Israel wants RPG 2. Trump does not want regime change so in a negotiation scenario RPG is irrelevant to him. He would in fact be harmful. 3. Israel and USA use him in a variety of situation in different capacities, usually as a matarsak. When they do not need him, they shelve him for later use. 4. This serves to dash people's hopes and leads a bunch of people to their ultimate demise. General population really hates this about him but some seem to be okay with this-47 years and counting!!
Comments: Good news for Faramarz! The winning coach has quit TER and is not going to be on the bench tomorrow in their ACL elite match
Comments: Who is supporting or pushing Pahlavi and why? I don’t mean actual supporters. I mean the big guys. Trump does not endorse him but sends Linsey Graham to Germany to pump him up. Why wouldn’t Trump meet him in white house or Florida? The fact is that Reza Pahlavi is saying exactly what most people want to hear. That doesn’t mean anything for now. Trump is playing hard to get with Pahlavi. It’s either he really doesn’t believe he is the man for the job or there is something else going on that I’m not aware of. The noncommittal of Trump and his team speaks louder than anything else. There is something going on behind closed doors that we can’t see or imagine. Nothing to do but wait and see
Comments: I believe everyone is talking about jobs that will be lost to AI, the biggest n most profitable sector will be movie making. You can pay the actor a few dollars to stand in front of a green screen n perform a few moves and read a letter. This will provide the AI with enough gestures n characteristics to create a full length movie in hours
Comments: And this is public domain SW easy peasy shit. I bet if you use the realistic models that take hours to produce the seen you would not even be able to tell without hints
Comments: 3 killed, including suspect, in shooting during Rhode Island youth hockey game
Comments: I think the biggest effect is that other competent opposition leaders do not see the light of day with RPG there. This situation is good for both RPG and IRI. They always ask if not him then who? Well, remove him and we'll see who. Blasting 300 million messages on social media in support of RPG does not leave any room for anyone else.
