1/4 I was reading the opening passage of #Rumi’s great epic-length #Persian #mystical #poem the Masnavi, at the end of the #opening night two weeks ago. On my birthday I’m whispering those couplets to myself - couplets I learnt sometime in my childhood #beyondfaith #Mowlana

@Amooamirkhan ابوجهل هم چنین توقعاتی نداشت :)

Trump listed height: 6’3” Xi listed height: 5’11” I wonder who’s lying?

@Moh_ebrahimi گفت آینده ایران؟

@bbckalbasi چه جالب – یعنی داره میگه قدرتش تضعیف شده بود؟!

حساب کاخ سفید بالای تصاویر ده‌ها پرچم چین، بکی دو تا پرچم آمریکا، کلی سرباز چینی و ترامپ روی فرش قرمز نوشته: «بازگشت قدرت آمریکا در/به صحنه جهانی»

@Man_e_ou2020 فعلا که همه مارها لشکرکشی کردن خارج از ایران

زندگی تو ایران خیلی شبیه بازی "مار وپله" شده.

@andfogle ناپلئون بناپارت

بنظر شما کدام مرد فرانسوی تسلطش بر عشق افلاطونی بیشتر است، امانوئل ماکرون یا تام مورلی

@Gavaznab خیلی خوب بود 😆🤣

@ToukaNeyestani ‌توکا مجبور شدم ریشه‌شناسی «بُمباران» رو‌ چک کنم :)) دو احتمال وجود دارد: ۱.ادغام زبان‌شناسی از «بمب‌باران» به معنی بارش بمب که خود کلمه «بمب» وام‌واژه از فرانسوی bombe است. ۲.دگرگونی «bombardement» فرانسوی که برای اشاره به این مفهوم بکار می‌رود به منظور فارسی‌سازی و درک راحت.

@larsinthewoods @Thebestfigen It seems that her eyebrows stopped growing a long time ago

@Thebestfigen But kept plucking her eyebrows. For the love of GOD can she please not do that anymore? I HATE plucked eyebrows! I get it if you have a unibrow, and just want two of them instead of just one. But anything beyound that, is just ugly to my eyes! 🤷‍♂️

Pamela Anderson adopted a no-makeup look after the death of her makeup artist and close friend.

@ArianArian00 وای همین قِرِش منو کشته :)) #گارد_جاویدان_قِرِش_ما_رو‌_کشته

درسته که احزاب کوردستان از آمریکا هیچ اسلحه‌ای نگرفتن، ولی خود احزاب اسلحه دارن که! گارد جاویدان همین امروز می‌تونه بیاد کوردستان، نفری یک اسلحه می‌دیم دستشون :))

@hmajd @RezRezart I think the “butterfly children” refers to butterfly effect

Another Lego story that delves into detail that many won't even understand (such as the "butterfly children") but shows the determination of its creators to push back against US claims of noble motives in its relations with Iran. Whatever you think of Iran, of war propaganda (which both sides employ) or of Iranian claims, what is undeniable is the creativity in designing these AI shorts.

@hmajd He doesn’t care about his fellow Iranians. We are just his “dear compatriots” when he wants us to shed our blood for his crown.

The most damning thing about this video is that he watches a fellow Iranian--a woman--being manhandled by burly security men and doesn't say a word. Doesn't tell them to stop, doesn't tell her to finish her question. And isn't prepared to take the heat and then answer her.

Reza Pahlavi gets CALLED OUT for Encouraging the U.S. and Israel to ATTACK IRAN Iranians will NEVER forgive him and his cult for manufacturing consent for this war JUST for him to get power. You can't claim to CARE for Iran and push for Iranians to get killed.

چند سال پیش در کانال ۴ سوئد برنامه ای کمدی بود که خانواده ی سلطنتی را دست می انداخت. شاه سوئد در مصاحبه ای گفت: من از دیدن این برنامه خیلی ناراحت میشم. رییس کانال ۴ سوئد گفت: خیلی متاسفیم، ولی شاه میتونه کانال را عوض کنه. سلطنت طلبای ایران : ما #مثل_سوئد_مثل_نروژ

President Trump is frustrated because the Israelis sold him the pipe dream that arming the Kurds & other Iranian dissidents would quickly topple the Iranian regime, leading to a quick victory. This failed to happen because it was a plan based on wishful thinking not the realities on the ground. Instead of being mad at the Kurds, who are our critical counter terrorism partners, he should focus his ire on the Israeli government officials who lied to him to get us entrenched in this war and whoever in his inner circle that allowed the Israelis to manipulate U.S. policy to support Israel's primary goal. Israel's primary goal was to get us into the war, not to make sure the pipe dream they were selling would actually work. Israel has always understood that they can't topple the Iranian regime without us doing the majority of the fighting, they needed to get us into the war. The Israelis kept their goal in mind when feeding us "intel" about Iran. Unfortunately, President Trump's inner circle failed to keep Israel's main goal in mind when receiving Israeli "intel" and providing context to the President.

@parbellooti 🤦🏻‍♀️

Bringing back the Shah’s dreaded secret service, the SAVAK (emblem pictured on the T-shirts), has become one of the significant themes and goals of the Pahlavist movement.
