This sadly is very true and accurate of the Arab world today. Lots of noise, explosions, stupidity and cartoonish fanatic people. Is that even possible? Does this mean that you are in negative figures now?

Maybe Arabs and Indians think that way about Pakistanis but not us. Iranians dont consider or care about Pakistanis. To us Pakistanis are just foreigners and are not important. We dont look at anybody as "slaves" anyway. Slavery is apart of Arab culture not Iranian.

International relations are based on state interests, and nothing else. There is no such thing as "brotherhood" between states, this is just naive and juvenile thinking by people that just dont understand politics or how to differentiate diplomatic lingo from reality. The reason why Iran wont...

Because Canada under Harper sucked. But now that he is gone maybe Iran and Canada will begin to normalize their relations which Harper had destroyed.

Opposite Hyde Park, south side. The consulate is in High Street Kensignton.

There is no hostility between Iranians and Turks. The normal, ordinary people of both countries are friendly and close to each other. Turkey also is not a source of illegal immigration to Iran, unlike Pakistan which is. That's the main reason. Pakistan is a major source of Global illegal...

Iran begins issuing 30 days Visa on Arrival on October 20, 2015 Iran has started implementing a cabinet’s bill that allows tourists to obtain visas with 30 days validity upon their arrival in the country’s international airports. “Iran has started issuing visas with 30 days validity which can...

Farrokh's tone is quite nationalist but i found his first book to be a good general read on pre-Islamic military history. I found his second book 'Iran at War' problematic in many ways so i agree with you to some extent. Although i think his tone is the major problem. What do you think is wrong...

Ok, but if you want chronological order it will go something like this: Proto-Iranians/ Migration to Iran Zoroastrianism Achaemenids Alexander's invasion Greek colonies Parthians Sassanids Arab invasion Umayyads / Abbasids (Arab) Break up of Iran and Turkic era Mongol invasion and genocide Il...

What is known about the Achaemenids IS presented largely through the eyes of Europeans because the majority of written sources from that period (5th to 3rd century BC) are Greek. The surviving Old Persian records are much fewer in number and the ones that are available mainly deal with daily...

I said that no evidence exists for direct Persian control of the Indian vassal states after the initial invasion and conquest by Darius the Great. For sure, the Achaemenids would had some impact on these place since they were the overlords and the Indian kingdoms were their vassals. My source is...

Depends which Zoroastrian period you're talking about. Achaemenids wrote Old Persian in Cuneiform but the Sassanids invented a new alphabet for Avesta (just called Avestan script). Parthian and Middle Persian texts were wrote in Pahlavi script. The core Zoroastrian hymns etc were mainly oral and...

No, i am Iranian. At present i dont know much if anything about Indo-Parthians. It is a topic that is kind of peripheral to both Parthian and general Iranian history. Parthian history is unfortunately not well constructed by scholars due to a lack of written sources available, or ones that have...

Yes, i took an undergraduate course in Iranian history, including a course on Zoroastrian religion and history. I've been a reader of Iranian history now for the past 15 years or so and will always be as long as i am alive.

Yes i am Iranian, but i grew up outside of Iran and never took my Persian seriously when i was young and growing up in a foreign country so now it isnt good at all, although i can still read and write and understand a few basic things but not well. Most other Iranian members here i think are in...

I am a keen reader of Achaemenid history and Zoroastrianism and took a course on them both when i was at university so can tell you that what you have presented here is not correct. Hendu / Hendi in Middle Persian (Indo / Indian in Latin/Greek) basically means 'Indian'. It was just a generic...

I agree and second everything you said. Iran will not favour either country but do what is best for Iran when dealing with Asian countries. Although i think that Japan is a country that Iran should pursue business with ahead of China or India in certain development areas since Japanese are much...

Iranian and Turkish regimes may be hostile, but ordinary Turks and Iranians get along well in the real World.
