Is it just me, or is Iran/Persia one of the most underrated and misunderstood nations today? One could argue that Persian history is on par with that of the Greeks and Romans in terms of magnificence. Sure, their modern government is a tragedy, but it seems like most peoples' (in the West, at least) view of Iran is tainted by the israeli perspective. What do you think about Iran?
Iran and Mongolia, have one thing in common, and thats that they're former superpowers, that did nothing of any major significance outside of military issues.

No it isn't?
>>73234927
iranian medieval art was very influential
stop spouting racist bullshit and be somehow proud of it

Mate. All I fucking hear about them on 4chan (and fb) is what they could have been if so and so didn't happen.

They also have shit relations with most of the ME, without "israeli perspective".

Persian architecture is fucking BASED. Hope I can visit Iran some day.

It really is. Iran's retarded theocracy is holding it back from becoming possibly the most accomplished country between Europe and India.

Isn't much of a milestone desu

This carpet is composed of approximately 28 million knots, with ~320 knots per square inch. Its the Mona Lisa of weaving.
>>73234913
iran/persia has done nothing significant in history, it has no memorable ruins, scientific innovations, literature or anything compared to the greeks
Iranians are the most wewuz diaspora
>>73235615
So easy to spot diaspora. Fucking deluded cunts you are when you think sandnigger persians were anywhere close to the contributions Greece and Rome gave to civilization.
India, China, Egypt, and Sumer are a thousand times greater than your Muslim shithole.
>>73235747
this in all honesty, as I said, the iranian civilization has produced nothing of worth compared to indians/chinks/egyptians/greeks/romans despite being a super power
>>73235724
>being THIS assblasted
Are Iranians really just Arabs in denial?
>>73235724
You must be memeing.
>>73235772
genetically they are 56% arabian so...

Samefagging to such an autistic extent should be punishable by death.
>>73235796
and find that it echoes the same sentiment that I've already prescribed to, the fact that iranians have produced nothing in comparison to their greek/roman counterparts and even to chinks/indians?

Mexico is a proud indigenous country
Yeah, I used to mindlessly hate them like I do with the rest of their neighbors, but once I got to know them better I quickly changed my opinion about them.
It'd help if their country were* called Persia and not Iran though
Also, Persian girls are qt
*: were? was? English grammar is confusing sometimes
>>73235874
you're only proving my point by posting these
these pathetic ruins are all that remains of iranian civilization...
even poo in loos have great wonders and architecture from millennia ago

Go take your haloperidol you autistic twink.
>>73235856
How the fuck did you deduce my post to that you moron?
Living in Richmond Hill exposed a lot about Iranians. Actually, they call themselves Italians because they're embarrassed of being Arabs.
>>73235856
>to be fair, you're probably some paki or arab
Most Persian's I've met look like fucking pajeets or sand niggers tho.

There are more than one ethnicity in Iran though, and the swarthier ones are usually not Persian but Kurds or whatever

What went wrong?
Whats with all the butthurt in this thread? Are there really that many kike-loving SJW's on /int/?

Excellent bait posts. Too bad I'm too busy to bother falling for them.

>>73236030
Persians are the inheritors of Mesopotamian culture.
>>73236020
"Persian" just describes those whose mother tongue is the Persian language. Iran was always a unity of Iranian people with the Persians usually at its core.
>>73236020
Most of the other ethnic groups are iranic though. Even the azeri are genetically iranian. They just got turkified.
Is the Persian language difficult to learn? Has anyone studied it?
>>73235988
>There are more than one ethnicity in Iran though,
I don't care lol.
All I'm saying is that all the ones I've met have been dark as fuck. Those light ones are probably pretty small in number, since I never even met one.
>and the swarthier ones are usually not Persian but Kurds or whatever
>swarthier
I've never met a Kurd, but I wouldn't use swarthy to describe them.
And Iranians and Kurds are greatly interrelated anyway.
>>73236098
Well kurds ARE iranian, thats why. The term itself means iranian nomad, i believe
>>73236053
not anymore they aren't
>>73236097
Its an Indo-European language so Im guessing itd be easier to learn than, say, Arabic or Chinese. I dont know a single Iranian word though so Im really not sure.

thats fucking nuts. When were these built?
Iraq is better.

Iraq is a spectacular place as well with a grand history. Unfortunately Iraq in general is significantly more dangerous than Iran.

I think it was some time in the 16 or 17th century. This is the Nasir al-Mulk mosque. One of my life goals is to visit this place.
>>73234913
I like Iranians
Most Iranians I know are bro tier
>>73237294
The only Iranians Ive met were girls and they all seemed secular and decent to me. None of them wore those headscarfs. At least not in school. They seemed like whiter, moderately better-integrated Indians to me. One of them was a solid 9.25/10 with big tits too.
>>73236896
Prove me wrong.
>>73235988
The light skinned ones are azeris and kurds. Actual persians are swarthy and brown as fuck
>>73236927
I dare you to prove me wrong.
>>73237502
There were actually two Kurds in my school as well and both of them looked more like southern Indians than the Iranians did.
This is one of the most spectacular buildings in the world IMO.
