Great photo. Iranian nationalism transcends religious dimensions. This was a just war for Iran's survival and its sons and daughters regardless of confession or beliefs answered the call in millions. RIP to all their noble souls. IRAN PAYENDEBAD.

Mr "IRAN PAYENDEBAD",were you there like some of us who lost our brothers fighting against Saddam's army while unkowingly the regime was stabbing us in the back or are you living comfortably in the West and just like to say "IRAN PAYENDEBAD" while doing mozdori for such an anti Iranian entity? Do you REALLY know what "IRAN PAYENDEBAD" means at all?

This is good. Iran has no problems with jews, despite the raving propaganda of American joke media and its zionist masters. zionists must be fuming with anger because this was posted. Good job.

Not just is an unofficial wall mural, but a proper landmark memorial to honour the contribution and sacrifices made by Iranians of Christian, Jewish, Zoristarian and Bahaii faiths to defend the country is long overdue. Let’s also not forget the sacrifices made by probably the largest minority of all, i.e. those who didn’t subscribe to any religion or to the existence of God.

Iran has enormous problems with Jews and with every other form of religious belief that differs from the crap taught by Khomeini.

Anon 10:17 PM, your hasbara propaganda is proven wrong. Iran has a problem with zionists, not jews.

7:13--- gosh, but you're a teller of untruth..... when the vile Mr Khomeini assumed power, the majority of the Iranian Jews left the country....precisely because of the vile nature of the man and his loathsome backwardness.

He's the benighted man who declared that it was fit and proper to murder authors of books.

Iran has always been a multi-cultural mosaic since the days of the global Persian Empire. Iran's stock in the world is rising and it is once again slowly opening up to its neighbors as its democracy and security increase

14,000 foreign students studying in Iran


Fourteen thousand students are studying at Iran's universities and efforts are underway to attract more international students, according to Iran's minister of science, research, and technology, Kamran Daneshjoo.

"The improvement of the quality of universities has paved the way for the enrollment of foreign students. 14,000 foreign students from 92 countries are currently studying at Iran's universities. And if we include the 12,000 foreign students studying at Al-Mustafa (International) University, a total of 26,000 foreign students are studying at higher education institutions in the country," Daneshjoo said in a speech at a graduation ceremony of a number of foreign students of Ferdowsi University of Mashhad, which was held on Friday, Farheekhtegan English weekly reported.

The country's current short-term development plan envisages the enrollment of 25,000 foreign students at Iranian universities, Mr. Daneshjoo explained, referring to Iran's Fifth Five-Year Development Plan (2010-2015), part of the 20-Year Outlook Plan (2005-2025) which is the country's main blueprint for long-term sustainable growth.

According to Hossein Seyyed-Mousavi, a deputy president of Ferdowsi University of Mashhad, most of the foreign students studying in Iran are from Afghanistan, Syria, Iraq, Pakistan, and Turkey.

Iranian news agencies quoted Hassan Moselmi Naeini, the head of the science ministry's general bureau of scholarship and overseas students affairs, as saying in April that 55,686 Iranian students were studying abroad.

"Out of this number, 8,883 students are studying in Malaysia, 7,341 in the United States, 5,638 in Canada, 3,504 in Germany, 3,364 in Turkey, 3,228 in Britain, and the rest in other countries."

A report published by the UNESCO Institute of Statistics (UIS) in 2012 said that at least 3.6 million students in 2010 were enrolled in tertiary education abroad, up from 2 million in 2000.

Anon 10:17 PM.....I agree with you but with a slight difference.This regime is not Iran but anti Iran Khomeinist regime.Khomeini once said "Let Iran burn for Islam".There lies the foundations of the anti Iranian regime.

Good luck my friend.

The Iranian Jews , who haven't left for the Western stupidity and money, are enjoing a freedom to worship Judaism (without Mossad's and other western agents), and are represented by the 2 of their representatives in the Iranian Majlis, despite that their population in Islamic Republic is a small one.

Many so selfcalled "jews", around the world, decided to emigrate to the other lands, than to the land specified by their "history" books..

Apparently most of those emmigrants, who "complained" about religious "freedom" in countries of their birth, have decided to see money as a their new god, in "new" lands ...

6:37------ I would hope that we all understand that the crap shoveled by Khomeini and the present pygmies is not at all representative of the Iranian people.

Neither is the crap shoveled by nutty nutanyahoo and the zionists at all representative of all Jewish people.

Anon 9:26 --- that is also true. Netanyahu and his buddies are pretty lousy.

not as utterly loathsome as Khomeini (pox be upon him) but pretty lousy.

Even more so than Khomeini. At least Iran did not conduct decades long occupations, settler colonialism, apartheid, collective punishment or use chemical and experimental weapons on civilians.
