you might get triggered upon seeing the lion and the sun flag but the flag is older than 80% of countries today :).

Workers struggling with mounting debts and rising living costs are offering their kidneys, liver tissue and bone marrow for sale to repay debts and keep their homes, the labor-focused ILNA news agency reported on November 11.
Advertisements offering organs for sale cover walls, metal doors and buildings along some streets in central Tehran, where ILNA interviewed workers and other residents whose earnings no longer cover their basic expenses.
Farhang Hosseini Street, widely known as "Kidney Street," has become a gathering point for people seeking buyers, partly because of its proximity to a municipal medical facility and a charity supporting kidney patients.
The advertisements extend beyond kidneys to liver tissue, bone marrow and other body parts, according to ILNA.

Never forget: in 1979, after the revolution, the mullahs publicly executed Shah Mohammad Reza Pahlavi’s favourite horse, Azar.
They hauled him from the Royal Stables into the streets, broke his legs, ripped out his tongue, then shot him.
Pure evil. RIP Azar. Free Iran!

It blows my mind that people hear the sobs of Javidnam parents, yet they still support the Islamic Republic.

my hot take is that everyone should have to swear on the constitution instead of religious documents but that’s woke 4.0 stuff
Abdul El-Sayed:
I will likely swear on a Quran. Which Quran, we're not sure.
Thomas Jefferson had a copy of the Quran. So when Keith Ellison was sworn in to Congress, he swore on that copy.
There's also the first Quran in the state of Michigan. The University of Michigan holds it. It's very, very old, and that might be the choice.
So I don't know, but I'll swear on the Quran.

Two years ago, on November 13, 2024, Iranian journalist and human rights activist Kianoosh Sanjari passed away in Tehran at the age of 42.
First arrested as a teenager, Sanjari spent more than two decades standing against the Islamic Republic. He endured repeated arrests and imprisonment, then years in exile, for defending human rights and freedom of expression.
After returning to Iran in 2016 to care for his mother, he was imprisoned again.
His final public act was to demand the release of four political prisoners.
We remember his courage and the voices he fought to defend.

Footage of the moment two Iranians, who were convicted today of spying for the Islamic Republic, were arrested.
⭕️Breaking News
Two Iranian men have been found guilty in London of spying for the Islamic Republic.
At Woolwich Crown Court, Mostafa Sepahvand, 41, and Farhad Javadi Manesh, 46, were convicted under the National Security Act of assisting a foreign intelligence service. They spied on journalists working for an international broadcaster banned by the regime, and on a lawyer. A third defendant was acquitted.
According to the Crown Prosecution Service:
🔹 Sepahvand was promised tens of thousands of pounds.
🔹 He filmed and photographed his targets’ homes and workplaces.
🔹 He hunted for one target who had already fled their home for a hotel because of security fears.
🔹 He messaged his handler in Iran asking for £150,000 to “finish [the target] off”.
They will be sentenced at the Old Bailey on 17 December.
A regime that hunts its critics on the streets of London is not a negotiating partner. It is a terror threat.
We will not be silenced!🦁🌞

UPDATE: Canada and Australia have revealed their secret ballots were against Iran's U.N. election. We call on all others to also reveal how they voted — especially those who nominated Iran in April: UK, France, Germany, Spain, Netherlands, Norway, Finland, Switzerland, Austria.

Canada is opposed to Iran’s election to the Committee for Programme and Coordination. The Iranian regime’s grave human rights violations and threats to international peace and stability are inconsistent with the responsibilities of a UN oversight body.

Honestly my biggest problem with the health care system in Canada (not sure if this is the same else where) is how constrained you are by referrals. I want to just be able to call up a practice and just make the appointment without having to first make an appointment with my GP.

They really think Iranians inside and outside the country are two different species or something and that there's no recent immigrants
