@AliTerrenoire @reyhani It’s like the poli sci theory of individual voting in modern US politics being more like a show of fandom than a “rational” act (time/effort and potential impact wise).
Going to the protest in Toronto, NYC, DC, etc. is just fun and people are passionate I guess
English
@AliTerrenoire @reyhani -by polling, Iran one of the most reviled countries on the planet (outside Pakistan, lol)
What’s left to achieve? People don’t know that the IRI is oppressive?
If we were talking about Uzbekistan, that would maybe be another thing. But Iran? In 2026?
English
Instead of focusing on the diaspora, spend your time writing about the Islamic Republic’s oppression of its own people. It is far more important and relevant. Writing about the diaspora is just a intentional distraction.

Does someone want to give me the space and editorial support for a piece that dives deep into the politics of the Iranian diaspora and its complicated relationship to this war?
English
Any day now our esteemed “professional” Iran analyst @IranWonk will get things in his “area of expertise” correct
English
@ProjectEND @MalekpourAmir @sharghzadeh It’s barely a big deal in my opinion and I think mostly subtle stuff - also fades with distance from Iran for sure.
Just an easy way to whack some people for fun on here tbh
English
@TehranYimby @MalekpourAmir @sharghzadeh How is class defined on the ground in Iran? My wife is from Tehran and they came here 30+ years ago but “class” is something that never really comes up at dinner (so to speak).
English
They support dictatorship and human rights violations.
English
@hdagres It’s cute watching you inch your way to seeing what’s in front of your eyes, dear analyst.
English
As someone who grew up eating Kaleh products in Iran—*gasp*—I really don’t understand the logic of this kind of commentary given that the IRGC has its hands directly and indirectly in pretty much all aspects of the Iranian economy…
English
@MazMHussain For context -
UAE’s native population is estimated 1.15-1.4M. That’s in the same ballpark as the metro area of Grand Rapids.
Iran’s population is 9x the State of Michigan.
English
The UAE is making an all-in bet on the unipolar strength and staying power of the U.S. empire in 2026 under the stewardship of Donald Trump. Let's see.
Faytuks News@Faytuks
BREAKING: The UAE is pushing hard for Trump to order a US ground invasion of Iran, a Gulf diplomat tells AP, with Kuwait and Bahrain also supporting such an operation
English
@MalekpourAmir @sharghzadeh Some of the most egregious displays can just be summed up as the weird derangements of lower class people who left Iran ~5 years ago.
English
@TehranYimby @sharghzadeh they say they hate the ulama but then chant the slogans of extremist rabbis & want us to take them seriously when they present themselves as the personification of korosh's scroll as if korosh would fathom neo-liberalism
English
@ghadimi_abbas @sharghzadeh There’s also a filtering out - the highest achieving subset will leave Canada to the US in <10 years. I’ve seen many, many cases.
English
@sharghzadeh Diaspora Iranians in Canada have always been 3rd rate compared to America's Iranian immigrants.....They're the Iranians who couldn't get into the US.
My mom would always tell me how Iranians in Canada were lower class, her comments go back decades.
English

Iranians initially enjoyed a good reputation because early immigrants came via highly selective processes or were very motivated.
In recent decades Iran has gotten so bad that average people have arrived, laying bare that Iranians are about as sophisticated as anyone else.

Diaspora Iranians protesting for the freedom of Iran. P.S.: Just check the flags they are holding, the groups they are standing with, and the obscene gestures they are making.
English
It's crazy to me how all these millennial Republicans that were disgruntled by the War on Terror came together under MAGA & America first, made their entire movement to stop interventionist wars in the Middle East, focus on China, focus on rebuilding the manufacturing base ...
They literally get the VP in the White House, the National Security Policy, you get people like Elbridge Colby in important positions -
And then none of it matters at all and you get *two* wars on Iran in the first 14 months, literally in the dumbest way possible doing exactly what they were screaming about not doing, all US bases in the Middle East get hit, and they're stuck in the escalatory spiral for reasons they can't explain that is gonna absolutely wreck the economy.
A stupider version of the Bush-Cheney war that ruined their lives & they tried so hard to prevent again. Literally the polar opposite of everything they believe in.
Can you blame people for resorting to conspiracy theories to explain the world? They do everything right and get a seat at the table and literally nothing matters.
English
@ayatr0llah How much GCC investment has Iran been getting past few years?
English
1 is my biggest worry. Bragging rights don’t mean much when you have less capital and capacity to recover from economic calamity. Extracting enough cost to impose a deterrent is rational but the situation is delicate and there’s limits to all leverage.
Gregg Carlstrom@glcarlstrom
We're at a moment where each party to the Gulf war has an argument for why it should continue fighting—and where each one may end up overreaching. 1) Iran misses its moment of maximal leverage to end the war on favorable terms. Instead of trading Hormuz for a deal that includes sanctions relief, it decides to keep inflicting pain on the global economy, hoping to deter future attack or secure a better deal. Instead its control of the strait becomes a wasting asset: it embarrasses Trump at home and further hardens the positions of his Gulf allies, both of which make it harder for him to end the war. America and Israel ramp up strikes on Iranian infrastructure, with devastating long-term consequences. 2) America launches a ground operation, which (predictably) proves neither a knockout blow to Iran nor a victory image for Trump. It winds up having to hold chunks of Iranian territory. Casualties compel Trump to send even more troops. Far from ending the war, an invasion sucks America further in. Meanwhile the energy shock gets much, much worse. 3) Israel encourages America to keep going, and winds up rupturing its relationship with America. The war is already unpopular with Americans; more of them think it will benefit Israel (55%) than their own country (30%), according to our most recent poll. Imagine that it drags on. American troops are killed in combat. Inflation soars. A wounded Trump administration blames Netanyahu for leading it into a quagmire. The midterms become a referendum on America's relationship with Israel. None of this is entirely far-fetched; indeed, the blame game has already begun. economist.com/middle-east-an…

@websterkaroon It’s like how as a white collar worker you come to learn not to give fake deadlines to yourself when replying “will do” to your boss
English
I notice he didn't give himself a specific time like this time
Gregory Brew@gbrew24
Trump with another threat against Iran's critical civilian infrastructure, as well as Kharg Island, if a deal is not reached soon. Once again, he affirms there has been "regime change" in Iran despite all evidence to the contrary.
English
@Sunnylunar1964 Yes. Being one-shotted by diaspora media is a relevant factor too, and ties to recency generally
English
@TehranYimby There’s definitely a throughline of people who have something to prove. Recent expats seem more likely to support Pahlavi than the ones who were here during Bush era and have had time to recognize patterns (and don’t feel the need to be performative in their assimilation)
English
I also have a theory that downwardly mobile recent diaspora are disproportionately (highly) represented among hardcore neo-Pahlavist.
E.g., the engineer who moved to Canada in his 40s for his kids and wasn’t able to continue in his field
YIMBY Tehran 🏗️🏙️@TehranYimby
Maintaining my position that neo-Pahavism is embarrassing b/c it’s a movement of middle/lower class LARPers who were commoners in Pahlavi Iran. This is the closest anyone in this lady’s bloodline has ever been to an Iranian royal and it’s a fake royal of a 54-year dynasty
English
@MazMHussain @ChronicBabak The book you were reading about urbanism in the Gulf comes to mind
English
Every picture of Emirati leaders "showing resilience" is just them at the mall.

@AliTerrenoire I’m just glad the Pahlavis finally found a social base for their rule
English
@TehranYimby Pointing out the class composition of neo-Pahlavism is kinda fun — manages to piss everyone off.
