double post.sorry.

Well, Iranians have their own version of Islam, which, in my quite biased opinion, I tend to say it's better than that of the Arabs. So, probably, nope, they don't like the Caliphates. Religious Iranians insult them for being the wrong kind of Muslims, Secular ones curse them simply for being...

The $35b projection sounds implausible given the state of affairs, esp. as the sanctions have eliminated Turkey's gold transfers to Iran, and the recession on the Iranian side of the border. No amount of engineering brains could help Iran as long as it's content with its isolationist policies...

I don't know where this obsession with the Iranian Superpower comes from; Iran has been and will always be a regional power. As for your historical nonsense, the Safavid Iran was one important reason of the many reasons the central Europeans of today do not speak Turkish, or are not Muslims. As...

You gotta love Turks' fantasies. No wonder it took almost a century for them to learn the difference between 'Mountain Turks' and Kurds. They finally got there of course. The hard way.

none the less, Do not give up! ;) And Russian fertility rates are scary. I'm unconcerned though.

Eh, perhaps Erdo has banned condoms as well, in addition to booze... who knows. Forgive my cynicism, but it wouldn't help the cause that much as your kids would be 3rd generation Iranian-Americans—or Americans for short.

Kursk, ResurgentIran is citing John Mearsheimer, who is an American political scientist. According to him either Israel finally accepts a two state solution or it will inevitably turn into an apartheid state, because there will be a large number of second class citizens, i.e. the Palestinians...

Granted, John Mearsheimer and Stephan Walt are both realists. That's why if they were Iranian, they'd probably be all in for Iran-Israel cooperation. Will Israel with its vast Media*/lobbying power + Holocaust self-victimization industry ever be called an apartheid state in the near future? I...

Let's put aside the ideological bull crap for a min, shall we? Iran reached out to the Arabs immediately after the revolution, called for a joint front against the Israelis. The Arabs never believed this; not even for a sec did they appreciate the hand that was extended to them, even for a trial...

Kursk actually makes sense. Iran - Israel cooperation will only be a matter of time--provided the current issues don't lead to an all out war between the two of course. Iran would still have direct conflict of interests with the US (the Gulf Arab's main patron), even if the regime were to go...

The seemingly unavoidable "Persian" sticky is really interesting, all coming from a respected source such as The Economist. Persian Power that can't be stopped!!1!...jesus...as if it is 480 BC... Perhaps it is time Iran finally realized its only natural ally in the face of this kind of PR...

Look what I just came across: 6. Iran has got only 6 friggin' launchers! I have to add while FAS is considered relatively unreliable as a source, IISS takes pride in having authored one of the most "technical" assessments of Iran's ballistic missile program. Its author Michael Elleman goes...

SOHEIL, Is there any photo of the SharifSat? What is the resolution?

It's a relatively important development. I've seen 'experts' put the number of the launchers for the shahab-3 at ~50, and even as low as ~10. This just shows they're more than that!

Any info about the sat? The launch is confirmed?

Apparently Iran is going to launch the Simorgh on June 2. space[***]skyrocket[***]de/news[***]htm edit. :hitwall:damn. sorry for the crappy link. I can't post links yet. Replace the friggin' *** with a '.' .

You didn't seem so sure there on militaryphotos. Not that I care of course. Just don't play the fanboy card so hypocritically, buddy.

you sure? Iran is not exactly the best place to make money right now. Considering all the recent news about Iranian currency nose diving and all, those Indians must be out of their minds to be working there. Tourism however would make sense, ironically for the same reason.

The thing is you can't have it both ways; bashing Iran for copying/reverse engineering every thing, while taking pride in in putting together out sourced American designed parts. Hypocrisy, anyone?
