#iran explained

[adamanteine]

also i meant to make a post about it because i always say nabaradis are iranian but i never actually explained the district system and what the real life counterpart is but it's divided into seven regions that are informally called haft - khān (the seven realms). the first one is golestān - e - sofra, whose people are inspired by persians and it is where the current royal family reside. it's the heart of the kingdom, of some sort. then there is qizil - qala, inspired by iranian azerbaijan. next is zarrin - kuh (shams' home district) which is inspired by lur and bakhtiari nomads. then there's shahr - e - raz, inspired by kurdistan, and rigestān, inspired by baluchistan. the last two are shemrān, inspired by caspian gilaks and mazandaranis, and bandar - e - nar, inspired by khuzestani arabs :p

The U.S. bombed Iran on Saturday night. No vote. No real explanation. And now the story keeps changing.

I broke it down in a 9-slide explainer for those of us who are tired of doomscrolling but still want to understand what’s happening. We deserve context that doesn’t make us feel numb.

This isn’t just another headline. It’s the start of something we’ve seen before.

👉 Reblog if you’re watching history repeat itself in real time. 🧠 Stay informed without burning out.

‘now is the time for peace’…​if any american ever says peace in the middle east ever again i want them to think about this and then i want them to kill themselves

[hayatheauthor]

It's been a year. A year of war and pain and suffering. A year of a brutal genocide against millions of innocents. Children, (pregnant and mensturating) women, old people, disabled people---their violence knows no bounds, their victims diverse and endless.

Yet people remain silent. Some, even speak in support of them. You ask how the atrocities in our histories were carried out so seamlessly and I point you in the direction of the Zionist movement.

How many more have to suffer at the hands of Israel and America, at the hands of the white man, before you can open your eyes?

Do you need another soldier crying at their president about how he lied and sent them to war against civilians? Is the ground evidence not enough?

How can you see everything yet choose to remain blind?

re: that last post the thing is my parents are very politically left by the standards of where I grew up and especially where they grew up but neither of them fits the stereotype at all

I don’t actually have words for what existing as a Jewish Woman (I mean as a Jewish person in general but for me specifically as a Jewish Woman) except that millennia of trauma. It’s the pain of so so many people who you thought knew better or maybe actually cared about you or both repeat blood libel after blood libel after misinformation and there’s so so much pain. So much. I hate it. I hate me for like, letting it get to me? Caring? I don’t even know. Posting about fandom stuff after this.

(See a zio = genocide sticker while walking around. See another. Want to vomit. Want to die).

90% of these pundits they've had on CNN in the last 24 hours it's like jfc tell me how badly you're foaming at the mouth to enter another brutal, illegal, and pointless war in the middle east. just say you wanna raze Iran completely 😑

This is why I don't argue politics with randoms online. You end up in a flame war with someone who thinks not having a Starbucks is grounds for bombing a sovereign nation.

They did this on a Saturday so that Last Week Tonight wouldn’t have time to rewrite their episode

[cleoselene]

if you're wondering why Ted Cruz is arguing with Tucker Carlson, it's because Tucker is an "isolationist." In GOP terms, "isolationist" either means "weird libertarian like Rand Paul" or "on Putin's payroll" or "both"

Tucker is on Daddy Vladdy's payroll and Putin doesn't want US to bomb Iran. See Also: Tulsi Gabbard trying to low-tone it. The ones who are directly paid by Putin will be the "isolationists."

Trump's US is protected against Iran's oil market retaliation, skilled explains

Former U.S. Ambassador to NATO Kurt Volker discusses whether or not the U.S. assault on Iran will change the Center East on ‘Varney & Co.’ Volatility could be plaguing oil and vitality markets within the aftermath of U.S. strikes on Iran, however one skilled is signaling that America stays shielded from any retaliatory motion which may as an alternative backfire on one in all its biggest…
