Salam!

I'm wondering if there are other people out there who have a parent from each nationality? Someone who's been an expat their whole lives. Where you love and appreciate both cultures but didn't get the chance to indulge in either.

Or maybe you are a young Yemeni and Iranian couple?

I'd love to hear from you and your experiences!

I have been considering TUMS for my undergraduate course in medicine for a very long time. I am from India. In view of the present geopolitical conditions, I am kind of reluctant. I have some contacts there and the students say that academics has been unaffected and things are moving smoothly as of now and that "future is uncertain", but I kind of want a more precise information as to how things are likely to turn out in view of everything. All the good universities in other countries I had considered earlier, have closed their admissions and now I am out of options now , because I was waiting for a permanent ceasefire agreement for a chance to study in Iran. In short is it wise and prudent right now to take admission in Iran?

Hii all! I’m moving from Iraq to Tehran for a few months to enjoy the culture and nature while preparing to study Nuclear Engineering.

I have ADHD and I’m currently trying to figure out how to continue my medication properly in Iran. My plan is to bring a note/medical report from my psychiatrist in Iraq and see a psychiatrist in Tehran who can reassess me and prescribe the appropriate medication there.

If anyone knows a psychiatrist in Tehran who treats adult ADHD and is familiar with prescribing Vyvanse/Vyas (lisdexamfetamine), specifically, please let me know.

I'd really appreciate a recommendation so I can arrange an appointment as soon as I arrive.

Hi, I was curious about the current price of 24K gold in Iran and wanted to get a better understanding of how much gold costs there compared with other countries. Could you please tell me approximately how much 10 grams of 24K gold currently costs in Iran? If possible, I would also appreciate it if you could provide the price in Iranian rials as well as Canadian dollars, so I can easily compare the two currencies. I’m specifically interested in the price of pure 24K gold, rather than 22K, 21K, or 18K gold. If there are significant differences between the international gold price and the local market price in Iran because of exchange rates, taxes, premiums, or other factors, please mention those as well. I would like to know the approximate retail price that someone in Iran would actually pay for 10 grams of 24K gold today. If there are additional costs for purchasing physical gold, such as dealer premiums, making charges, or taxes, please explain whether those are included in the quoted price. Finally, if possible, please give me the most recent price available and the date or time the price was recorded, since I understand gold prices and currency exchange rates can change frequently.

For those still expecting or believing that the US has any interest in Iranian human rights, be it over hijab, free speech or protesting, I offer this incident as a counterpoint on the sinking of the Dena.

- The attack technically is legal under international law because international law is worthless and NOT set up to protect Iran, its set up to protect the US and the powerful ONLY

- The Iranian Navy is not part of the IRGC

- The Dena's captain radioed to the USS Charlotte that they were unarmed and there for training with India. Sri Lanka confirmed that to the US Navy as a independent 3rd party.

- The US never bothered to declare war per usual, they just gave orders and murdered anyone not complying as they typically do

- India hosted the event but per usual, barely complained to the US or Israel. Sri Lanka, a tiny Island by comparison condemned the US more than India did, a nuclear armed super power.

- The US made 0 effort to rescue survivors, mostly teenage band players floating in the water

- The US Navy awarded the entire crew of the USS Charlotte a unit citation for outstanding "heroism" for mass murdering the Dena's crew, similar to what they did for the USS Vincennes, who shot down Iran Air 655 killing 298 civilians. They actually promoted the Captain of that latter ship.

Any nation or group of people that does something like the above could not possibly care about your human rights.

Hello all.

I was wondering if anyone could tell me about the pre-metric measurements in Iran, and if anyone has, knows anyone, or can show me some good pictures of old fashioned rulers or other measuring tools?

I've got a particular fixation with the history of daily life around the world so.

"The U.S. military has withdrawn its forces from Iraq, 23 years after it invaded the country, sparking an insurgency and civil war and opening the door to Iranian influence in Iraq that it is still trying to combat."

Hi everyone 🤗 I'm from Poland and trying to do some research on Persian culture. I want a copy of the Shahnameh, unfortunately a Polish translation of it doesn't exist, so I'm looking for an English one. Which one is generally considered the most faithful?

Hi Iranians,

I'm working on a map of spoken languages around the world in the year 1815. This would be a sequel to an earlier map that focused on only Europe, which you can find posted as Spoken Varieties in Europe, c.1815

I'm having a lot of trouble with Iran, because it seems non-Iranian sources are very far behind when it comes to Iranian linguistics, and so I want to learn a little bit about how Iranians understand languages and dialects in their own country today, and if they might have any insight into the situation 200 years ago.

I'm looking forward to hearing any opinions and discussions in the comments, thanks for your help

Please share widely. It's been upsetting to see how even though Americans are supposedly majority against the war, nobody seems to care about Iranians. It's all gas prices and whatnot. Jeremy Scahill did a great job with this, it needs to be seen.

Okay, so I know this might sound like a stupid question, but I’ve started feeling so anxious now that October has begun, especially since I'm an international student.

I applied and got into TUMS’ September intake. However, there’s no notice about when classes will actually begin for the medicine program.

I’m just wondering if someone here might know some details, or if there’s another student like me who’s been lurking on these subreddits and might know something.

The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) published a 26-page open letter addressed to the American public in late September 2026, as reported by outlets like the Tehran Times and noted on platforms like Drop Site News.

Key Details of the Letter

• Core Message: According to analysts and reports covering the release, the document urges American citizens to break with U.S. foreign policy, reconsider government narratives surrounding conflict in West Asia, and "take back control" of their government.
• Claims and Arguments: The text features a lengthy rundown of historic and current grievances against U.S. policy, denunciations of American imperialism, and assertions declaring Iranian victory in the recent regional conflict.
• On "Death to America": The letter offers another frame to the common political chant, asserting that the phrase is a critique of the U.S. ruling elite and White House policies rather than animosity toward ordinary American citizens.
• Target Audience: Observers note the text specifically targets students, scholars, and media figures in an effort to influence public opinion and discourse within the United States.
