What I do know is what I was told by the friends who were born and lived there. When the shaw was is power, things were groovy. When the ayatollah took over things changed. They left because of the ongoing problems with Iraq who was sending missles over just about every day. They also had food rationing that prevented them getting what they needed for their child to get the proper nutrition suggested by their doctor. Other than the politics and religion, they seemed to like the freedoms we have here, but miss being with their families back home.
Its a land with a lot of history. Everybody I have met from there have all been kind people. Well except for one dickhead but he was a perpetual grump. 😅
@Thevy29 Oh, that’s great! I wish you success in your life, my friend. I am also in my final year of high school this year, and I hope to get accepted into a medical program.
I know the government is a bit of a repressive theocracy but most of the people are just people trying to live their lives and find happiness for themselves and their loved ones. The average American and average Iranian probably have far more in common between us than either of us do with our own leaders.
@ViciDraco Living in Iran, I hold a different view. I reside in a society where many people support the government and are willing to sacrifice their lives for their country. However, the reports circulating online suggest otherwise—implying that Iranians, much like people in other nations, are dissatisfied with their government. Yet, they all share one common bond: Iran—a cause for which they are prepared to lay down their lives. Even now, amidst the ongoing conflict, people continue to come out every night to chant slogans and defend their country—and they are by no means few in number.
These photos show a crowd gathered to bid farewell to their leader(Seyyed Ali Khamenei), who was martyred by the criminal United States. Are these people dissatisfied with the government? No, that is not the case. While there may certainly be some who are dissatisfied, the situation is not as it is portrayed in the media. These individuals have arrived carrying red flags—a symbol of their demand for justice for their martyred leader—which demonstrates their deep affection for him.
@Ilya8191 I did not imply a lack of patriotism. Their home was attacked without cause. It is only natural for that to bring people together against an external threat.
