    You have to swap Shah-Safi and Esmaili.

    Thanks. Who is the Navy admiral standing in the second row next to Pourdastan?

    I believe that Gen. A.R. Pourdastan
    is not shown on the photo published with your article.

    The general at the far right-front row is not the General Ahmad Reza Pourdastan.

    Could he be Deputy Navy Commander Rear Admiral Abbas Zamini?


    PS. You forgot the "i" at the end of Shah-Saf. :)

    Sorry for nitpicking.

    Any Iranian soldier that obeys the dictates of a theologian is a disgrace and not worthy of being called an Iranian soldier.

    Thanks. The photo is indeed Adm. Zamini's.

    I see that you were afraid to post my yesterday's comment and acknowledge your mistakes.

    Again, I inform everybody that the photo published with the article "Khamanei at Graduation Ceremonies of Iranian Military Schools" doesn't include Gen. Pourdastan like descriptions under that photo suggest.

    To my best knowledge Gen. Pourdastan was seated in front row, but he was six seat away from the left hand of the Supreme Leader at that Noushahr (Nou-Shahr) held ceremony.

    I see; that despite years, you do not have sufficient abilities to properly recognize important personalities...

    Your claim of being a "Dissident" makes no sense,because you support the authority in the country that you come from,Iran.

    Dissident means a person at variance against own countries established authority.

    Therefor you can't claim to be an "Dissident"!

    I would advise many of you, do not ignore but focus on the main issue, which is the incorrect information about the photo and a staff's negligence to correct it.

    Your attempt, to divert discussion to secondary issues, is one of the propaganda's tools.

    Read my other comments regarding that words and dictionaries' descriptions.
    It also may mean that I disagree with majorities on this blog(s).

    Hey "Dissident"!

    I say that Khamenei and all the mullahs should go back to what they used to be good at.
    Namely,Rozeh and cemetery duties!

    And leave the politics to real politicians.

    What do you say to that "Dissident"?
