@ Aspahbod, shoma farsi harf mizanid?
I don't see how you could equate an Iranian space program to radicalization. Apart from the other general benefits of a space program, the Iranian program will in turn create thousands of jobs for related-industries and disciplines such as metallurgy and...
The report is from the US State Department. That is enough said already.
The US government is already doing covertly all it can to destabilize the Iranian government and create sentiment against it internationally as well as domestically. A case in point is the report above. It isn't new...
The article itself states that "if it is confirmed." The Iranian government itself has made no public statement concerning any smuggling, which puts down the politically-incited title of the article that "Iran claims such" and such etc. I therefore find the piece ludicrous.
Sorry, I hadn't seen your reply. I am not a regular visitor, rather a rare one. Earlier I was simply displeased with some of the comments and views here about Iran coming from some of the self-appointed ultra-righteous members. I was intending to leave. However, I figured it in turn makes me...
I'd like to know the source for that information for it is a first for my ears. To my knowledge, Iran has had no intention to reverse-engineer/ copy the F-14 (currently and previously) and neither has any such plan been made available for the future. Iran has on the other hand has gleaned some...
You have indeed understood wrong. There are some very biased Iranians as there are some very biased Pakistanis as well. Point is, such people's views cannot be taken to represent an entire nation, which ever nation it may be.
How are Iranians less intelligent and less sensible than...
According to the CIA World Factbook, the rate is approximately 0.94% for 2010. The total fertility rate of Iran was estimated to be a low 1.7 (2010) by the same. Studies by analysts conclude that Iran's rate of population growth will continue to slow even further, unless measures are taken...
This is because the economic and demographic realities of Iran and Pakistan are very different. If matters are allowed to persist, both nations will have rather dramatic population crises albeit in opposite directions.
As to the topic, whether a country is overpopulated or not is not measured in absolute numbers but rather in the capacity for it to provide its population with infrastructure and jobs.
As such, I find the policy well-advised (in the longer-term) but poorly timed at present. Developed...
There aren't ethnic and sectarian technicalities if one is choosing to emigrate to Iran or willing to opt for Iranian nationality. Concerning nationality, the process is restrictive with the primary reason being an unwillingness to extent Iranian nationality further. Thus far nationality or dual...
These pictures are wonderful indeed and I must commend your photographic skills as well. More of such positive portrayals of Pakistan are needed in fact. I am interested though as to how recent these images are. I visited this place about a year or so prior to the devastating earth quake that...
The Iranian connections with the Taliban are only substantiated by the fact that Iranian perspectives negate continued US presence in Afghanistan. In which case, Iranian interests may outwardly seem to collide with the Taliban, which has generally become an umbrella term for the insurgency in...
Sir, the fundamental assumption behind your post is that Iran does not want to see Afghanistan progressing. This in untruthful. There a similar allegations put on against Pakistan concerning the case of Afghanistan and I am quiet certain you have come across them irrespective of your approval of...
I find it rather interesting that some members find such humor in Iran's space-related and other scientific aspirations whereas Iran has shown itself to be rather committed to them then letting them be absolutely hollow statements. This space-issue is especially true since Iran has shown itself...
Such releases are meant for domestic public consumption and a more politically tied than a statement of military-industrial prowess. The only meaningful information than can be ascertained from it is that Iran has made itself better geared for ballistic missile production.
It must be pointed...
