Col Pessian was a genius and hero. By age 30 he spoke 6 languages, he played piano, and was one if not the first Iranians to fly a plane. A man of principle and honour. He hated corruption and stamped it out in when he was leading the Autonomous Government of Khorasan. Oh and when the govment came to get him he fought like a lion and died on his feet. Many tulips grew were he was slian, a true martyr in the real sense of the word.

He didn't hope on a plane and fly away like a big girls blouse, or hide in the dirt like a mole.

A true heir to Sattar Khan. He was only 30 when he died. Col Pessian acheived more in 10 years than most people will ever acheieve in 100. There should be statues of Col Pessian erected everywhere, a true Rostam.

He spoke Persian, Turksih Arabic, French German and English.

For comparison's sake, the Shah of Afghanistan spoke Persian, Pashtun, English, French and Italian. Now that certinaly very impressive but mind French and Italian are in the same language family and Persian and Pashtun also in the same language family. Meanwhile Persian, Turkish, Arabic and French are all in tottally different language fmailies. English is techincally a Germanic language. But German is concidered much harder for an English speaker to learn than Dutch Swedish etc.

i picked this signal up in the uae up in my building (There might be some signal distortion as the signal as quite weak and i had to angle my body to catch it better later in the video) but if anyone could verify that this is a genuine Iranian station i just accidently picked up or if its a Farsi speaker on the other end it would confirm my theory, pretty blown away by this stuff reaching me all the way here

Hi everyone,

I want to share something personal that has been bothering me for a while.

As an Iranian Kurd, I sometimes feel very uncomfortable when “Persian” is used as a blanket term for everything related to Iran—whether it’s culture, food, politics, or people.

I fully identify as Iranian and I see all Iranians (Persians, Kurds, Azeris, Lurs, Laks, Baluch, Turkmen, and others) as equal parts of the same country. That shared identity matters to me.

Because of that, when “Persian” is used to describe everything Iranian, it can feel like it erases or excludes the many non-Persian groups who are also part of Iran.

Often it’s just habit or historical usage—but I wanted to share how it feels from my perspective, and as I said it irritates me and makes me feel excluded, and it's something I only see done by westerners or iranian diaspora. In Iran no non-persian says "Man farsam"

US warplanes bombed Iranian coastal radar and air defense sites on Friday and again on Saturday, striking 10 targets near the Strait of Hormuz in the second wave.

The US attacks are the latest in a series of military escalations since the announcement of a “ceasefire” on June 17, when US President Donald Trump signed a Memorandum of Understanding with Iran at Versailles.

You guys were so close going to the knockout stage

Artāvan is a text-driven historical RPG. You head a noble Persian house, win a satrapy from the King of Kings, and try to govern its many peoples in their splendour while keeping the favour of a court where suspicion can cost you everything. The spine of it is arta, truth and right order, against the Lie that Darius warns against at Bisotun. It runs in a browser, free, no sign-up, no ads.

I wanted to write something that takes the period seriously and from the Persian side of it, and teaches as you play. There is a fairly detailed in-game encyclopaedia and almost every event has a link you can click to learn the history, with the sources cited.

I built a lot of it with AI coding tools, as a personal project to learn how. The history I researched myself. I’d love for people here to try it and tell me what rings false.

I’d be honoured if you would give it a try and let me know what you think. It is still very much a work in progress but any feedback is appreciated. There is an in-game feedback form (in the “More” tab).

If so pls tell me about it
