The nation with more than three thousand years of civilisation. That's what IRAN really is.
It would be great if the current Iranian leaders would read and apply this 2500 years old text!
the FAMED charter does not say that you turn correction institutions into tourist destinations and picnic parks AS someone HAVE BEEN AGITATING!!
Yes mat,don't forget the barbaric occupying 1400 year old Islamist don't recognize that Iranian civilization.Remember Khalkhali when he wanted to destroy Persepolis and the Iranian people stopped the Islamic gangsters in their tracks.
You're a shameless hussy.
The West and the Zionist (chosen people?) have to apply that 2500 year text FIRST !!!!
A-F
Seriously A-F? If that's the case what the hell are you doing living in the West?
Iran under the rule of barbaric Sharia law is one of the most oppressed countries on earth.
You need to stop being a hypocrite before you spew your garbage on the internet.
