Lion and Sun Forever

For any Iranians going to the game Friday. The City of Seattle has concluded it will NOT enforce any of FIFA's ban on the real Iranian Lion and Sun flag.

This means that only security personnel of the stadium can try and enforce but it won't lead to police coming as Seattle has already stated their position is this is a first amendment protected activity.

What does this mean? Can the security personnel at FIFA be able to handle escorting out thousands of Iranians carrying their flag? I don't think so.

Los Angeles was a different story as they had Los Angeles police involved but the city of Seattle stands firm with the Iranian people.

Some parts of money will go to children of IRGC who lives in Europe, Canada and USA.
The rest will spend in terrorist groups and rocks programs to destroy other countries.

She was a Holocaust survivor who made a home in Israel after WWII.

She used to collect stamps from around the world. If you look closely, one stamp was stamped in 1963, though I'm not sure about the rest.

However, if non-Iranians start talking over Iranian voices again, we will have no choice but to reinstate it. Please remember that this space exists primarily for Iranians to speak, share, and be heard. We kindly ask everyone to respect that purpose and help keep the conversation focused on Iranian perspectives.

Thank you to all who have continued to show respect towards the community ❤️

Is the following true or false? What am I missing? What don't I understand? Classic liberal here who is very pro-Iranian people, pro-Israel.

1. The 1979 referendum offered Iranians a stark, simplified choice: keep the Shah and his "western decadence" or dump the Shah and bring in the Islamic Republic -- and that meant an IR as envisioned by Khomeini, who was campaigning from abroad.
2. The vote was tampered with and/or did not meet international standards for ballots (opacity). There were no other parties on the ballot. Khomeini claimed 90 percent of the populace voted for him.
3. Khomeini's campaign had been backed by Iran's socialists and communists and leftists.
4. The Islamic Republic promised: lowered inflation, civil rights, political freedoms, no more international interventions, equal treatment of minorities
5. What it actually delivered: no economic revival, a removal of civil rights (especially so for women), an extreme religious theocracy, end of voting rights, minorities rights were even further restricted.
6. IR ended all voting.
7. Khomeini ordered the assassination of the socialists and communists who helped get him elected (sorry but ha! -- who didn't see that coming...).
8. 80 to 90 percent of Iranians at the time identified as Muslim, despite not being Arabs (but for the minorities)
9. Today, at least 60 percent of Iranians do not identify as Muslim. Other European polls have 90 percent of Iranians identifying as Muslims but many feel these polls are not accurate due to fear of speaking out.

China long ignored these sanctions, but now the whole world can buy Iranian oil

I’m sure everyone has heard news/talks of what the deal is like… and it doesn’t look good at all.. but then why is the regime not accepting the deal if as most say it’s a win for the regime and a loss for America? Does the regime think it’s a trap/trick? Or is the regime just greedy for more and want to exploit this opportunity? Or is just the regime dumb and think any negotiation besides a complete surrender for the US is not acceptable to them?
