Fine landscape and architecture. As a fairy tale 

Islamic architecture is very beautiful and landscape also is .

We'll think great deal of it.

Oscar73, I think, your message isn't pertinent in this blog.It is a question of landscapes, instead of about position in the country

Dear Pieter!

Corruption in Iran?Do you know the meaning of that word?of course not.

First of all I have to tell you that it was about Iranian culture not politic.But I must answer you.

If you study the history of Iran,you will realize that the countries like USA,England and …wanted to obtain Iran because of it's mines and resources,But after revolutionary was victorious however we had a war with Iraq(I believe that it was against the world because they were supported by USA.England…)for 8 years but we could achieve important things like nuclear energy that is  just for electricity.

and because Iran is Islamic Republic and with these progresses we can be one of the powers of the world,they are all against Iran.

They think that Iran is killing people easily but everything in other countries go well.

And one question you said that Iran executed a Dutch-Iranian girl without any permission from you.Israel is killing lots of children and women in Gaza,Do they have a permission?Why American soldiers are in Iraq,Afghanistan,Do they have a permission?

I posted it to change your ideas about Iran because I heard from visitors that before they come to Iran,They thought  that here is like Iraq and we are living in dust.

On 22nd of Bahman(11 February)People come to streets to show their love to their country and celebrate the32nd birthday of our revolution.Just see it.

Corruption?it means Omkoping to your language.

Dear Chica-Mala!

Thanks for your nice glance.

With a lot of love.

Hi,

Thanks a lot for this topic.

Thanks for your answer to Pieter.

Hey Pieter and any other people like him.

All the news which you hear about Iran is just propaganda ,because we don't want to be slaves of super powers and all the free people around the world learn this lesson from us and are against the slavery ,so the masters (super powers) have to blame us  to avoid the attention of the others to our victories against them.

as my friend said ,you can see many people who have been killed in many countries ,but they don't call them as a bad countries or so on.

The super powers are against the people and if you see the news you can realize all the dictators around the world are supported from the super powers and their people are suffering from them and they are trying to defeat them ,like whatever you can see in Egypt. 

Be sure all people around us like Iran and hate the double standards politics from super powers.

Revolution fever is returning to Tehran, where new and illegal protests are planned tomorrow as the United States charges Iran “is scared of the will of its people.”

The regime of Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has already blocked several opposition websites, including one named "Bahman,” the 11th month of the Persian calendar, in advance of the planned rally Monday.

Elsewhere in the Middle East, opposition elements in Yemen have accepted an offer by President Ali Abdullah Saleh not run again after demonstrations threatened stability in the country. Bahrain’s kingdom tried to stem trouble by offering every family $2,653 to "praise the 10th anniversary" of its constitution.

In Algeria, where protesters defied a ban on demonstrations, President Abdelaziz Bouteflika promised to lift emergency laws.

Iran was the scene of massive opposition rallies nearly two years ago after Ahmadinejad won re-election in a vote that opponents charged was riddled with fraud. Leaders of the opposition remain under house arrest, and others have been taken into custody ahead of Monday’s planned rally.

The Islamic Republic has praised the Egyptian uprising as being a copy of the Islamic revolution that overthrew the Shah in 1979, but the prospect of new protests in the streets of Tehran have prompted charges of a “double standard” against the government.

Ahmadinejad as recently as last week told Egyptian anti-Mubarak protesters, "The Iranian nation is your friend and it is your right to freely choose your path. We will soon see a new Middle East materializing without America and the Zionist regime and there will be no room for world arrogance in it.”

The Obama administration, which had remained silent on Iran during the Egyptian turmoil, charged on Saturday that the Iranian regime is "scared of the will of its people.” White House spokesman Robert Gibbs said, "We know that what they really are scared of is exactly what might happen.”

Iran has jammed BBC’s Persian-language television channel and has arrested several foreign journalists. "The recent arrests and effort to block international media outlets underscores the hypocrisy of the Iranian leadership," National Security Council spokesman Tommy Vietor said.

"By announcing that they will not allow opposition protests, the Iranian government has declared illegal for Iranians what it claimed was noble for Egyptians," he added in a statement. "We call on the government of Iran to allow the Iranian people the universal right to peacefully assemble, demonstrate and communicate that's being exercised in Cairo.”

As violent protests continue to shake up the Arab world and specifically Iran, the west has expressed optimism that there will be a regime change in the Islamic Republic.But is there room for hope? According to Dr. Eldad Pardo, an expert on Iran and a researcher at the Truman Institute at the Hebrew University in Jerusalem, there certainly is.

Pardo told Arutz Sheva’s Hebrew website on Wednesday that there are significant changes in the Iranian arena between the current riots and the wave As violent protests continue to shake up the Arab world and specifically Iran, the west has expressed optimism that there will be a regime change in the Islamic Republic.

But is there room for hope? According to Dr. Eldad Pardo, an expert on Iran and a researcher at the Truman Institute at the Hebrew University in Jerusalem, there certainly is.Pardo told Arutz Sheva’s Hebrew website on Wednesday that there are significant changes in the Iranian arena between the current riots and the wave of riots which occurred in the country following the elections in 2009. He said that he believes one of the main changes lies in the nature of the Egyptian revolution.“The Egyptian revolution was a democratic revolution and not an Islamist revolution, and until now what has prevented the demonstrators in

Iran from going all the way was the fear of a new dictatorship. But Egypt has shown them that they now have the possibility of a different revolution,” said Pardo, adding that there has also been a change in the public mindset in Iran, who thought until now that demonstrations should be carried out peacefully and therefore achieved nothing, and now understands that demonstrations can and should aim for a goal.

Dr. Pardo also believes that the success of Israel and the United States in their struggle against suicide terror attacks has also contributed to the change in the Iranian public’s perception: They see the recent military moves and understand that there is a chance for something significant to occur in the security arena, making them willing to go along with Western concepts.In addition to the above, Dr. Pardo noted that the Iranian regime's conduct in light of the riots will have an impact on the prospects for change.

He highlighted the cracks in the Iranian leadership in response to the riots and said that this encourages the masses in their struggle. He added that this can continue to work so long as the leadership does not unite against the protesters.He also mentioned the Iranian bitterness in light of the failure of the regime's domestic policy, the ruling ideology turning out to be a lie, and the moral failures within the leadership.

Those were some great photos of Iran. Not many people know what Iran looks like as the media only highlight its politics.
