Does anyone know what's actually going on here? I would guess this is some Sufi group in Turkey. They're doing a Dervish like dance with pictures of Imam Ali, Ataturk, and Rumi on the wall (and what I think are the 12 Imams above)

No I don't understand why we now have biker gangs in Iran. As I've tried to explain many times, when it comes to Iranians nothing is supposed to make sense. You just go with it.

Ahmadinejad is a truly unique, once in a generation figure. In another world he'd claim prophethood & start an extremely successful folk religion.

I cannot emphasize enough how much the vibes have changed & everyone's priors on what is normal are wrong. This was posted by a religious page - not political one - & got almost 1 mil views in 24 hours. And no fighting in the comments or anything. It's not even controversial.

Molavi Abdolhamid, Imam of the Makki Mosque in Zahedan, & a significant Sunni religious leader in Iran sparked some controversy in his sermon in which he said: - Israeli extremists are trying to destroy the Palestinians. This way of thought is not to the advantage of the Jewish people - Palestinians should not be extreme and call for Israel's destruction either. Others should also not say this - The best solution is the establishment of an independent Palestinian state These statements were made while Iran officially opposes a two state solution

Mehdi Taremi: - In these past 2-3 years, from up above, from wherever you can think of they are ruining football. - How is it possible only 2000 people go to the Zob Ahan-Sepahan derby? Azadi Stadium not be finished for 4 years? Esteghlal Persepolis have to go play in Shahrestani Qods ... - Why? So that 50-60,000 people don't gather in one place. If this is the idea then what do you want ... to ruin football? - Is it possible that Tractor's field is always ruined? Our 4, 5 big teams have ruined pitches always so what? So people don't gather? - If the country has tensions or whatever, our football shouldn't have to suffer from it - If you want to get something (good results), you need to give something. Is it possible to play football in bad pitches? How many good fields do we have in our entire league? Zero. - How many players do we have that can play on these fields? Zero.

I thought Throwback was exaggerating here, but no they legitly poisoned them and then stoned them. They were lucky no one was seriously injured. Shahdari Noshahr should be banned from having spectators until the end of the season. At bare minimum.

This is one of the craziest videos so far. You distinctly see the air defense system detect something, shoot multiple shots at it, you see the distinctive parabolic curve ... and the missile gets past it and has the characteristic two hits

This guy has temporarily gone to a city in Iran's North. He says he went to a supermarket and the guy only charged him the original price for the good with 0 markup for profit. People are watching out for each other ♥️
