Ayatollah's son who will take over Iran is an even worse Islamic terrorist than his father, and Israel says it is ready to assassinate him as well

[Truthspeak]

Israel will run out of bullets first

US is having weapons depleting and their weapons are costly, their US bases have been destroyed and NATO not helping them. Once US couldn’t continue the war, IsFake will be fighting for a losing war

“The US doesn’t have the ability to destroy Iran”

Lopatonok underscores Iran’s unshakable endurance — a civilization that has stood for over 5,000 years and will continue long after others fade. He argues that while empires rise and fall, Iran’s spirit remains eternal, anchored in culture, faith, and identity.

Watch in full

Iran has always been in a state of flux. It has been invaded numerous times and has morphed accordingly from one era to the next. There is absolutely no reason why the nightmare of 47 years of Mullah rule cannot be removed from the equation by the most powerful nation of all.

The region now known as **Iran** (historically often called **Persia** in the West) has one of the world's oldest continuous civilizations, with settlements dating back to around **5000 BC** (and human presence even earlier). Over the last ~5000 years, it has transformed through prehistoric roots, ancient empires, repeated conquests, Islamic shifts, Turkic/Mongol interludes, and modern revolutions.

Here's a concise summary of the major phases:

- **~5000–1000 BC: Prehistoric & Early Civilizations**
Early farming villages, pottery, and urban centers emerge (e.g., Sialk, Susa). The **Elamite** civilization (c. 2700–539 BC) develops in the southwest as a major power with its own script and art, interacting (and often clashing) with Mesopotamian neighbors like Sumer and Babylon.

- **~1000–550 BC: Arrival of Iranians & Median Kingdom**
Indo-Iranian (Aryan) tribes migrate onto the plateau. The **Medes** unify much of the region into Iran's first major Iranian-led state by the 7th century BC, laying foundations for Persian identity. Zoroastrianism emerges as a key religion during this era.

- **550–330 BC: Achaemenid Empire**
**Cyrus the Great** overthrows the Medes and founds the first Persian Empire — the largest ancient empire yet, stretching from India to Egypt and parts of Europe. Known for tolerance, the Royal Road, and administrative genius under Darius I. Persepolis becomes its ceremonial capital. Conquered by Alexander the Great in 330 BC.

- **330 BC–651 AD: Post-Alexander Empires**
- Brief Seleucid (Greek) rule after Alexander.
- **Parthian Empire** (247 BC–224 AD): Iranian revival, famous for cavalry and resisting Rome.
- **Sasanian Empire** (224–651 AD): Last pre-Islamic Persian golden age. Intense rivalry with Byzantine Rome, peak of Zoroastrian state religion, art, science, and centralized power. Falls to Arab Muslim armies in 636–651 AD.

- **651–1500 AD: Islamic Conquest & Medieval Dynasties**
Iran gradually Islamizes (mostly Sunni at first). Persian culture survives and "Persianizes" Islam — producing major scholars, poets (e.g., Ferdowsi), and bureaucracy.
Key phases include Abbasid rule, semi-independent Iranian dynasties (e.g., Samanids, Buyids), Turkic arrivals (Seljuks ~11th century), devastating Mongol conquest (Ilkhanate ~13th century), and later Timurids. Persian language and high culture flourish despite political fragmentation.

- **1501–1736: Safavid Dynasty**
Turning point: Shah Ismail I establishes **Twelver Shia Islam** as state religion, distinguishing Iran from Sunni neighbors and shaping modern Iranian identity. Peak cultural/artistic renaissance (e.g., Isfahan under Abbas I).

- **1736–1925: Post-Safavid to Qajar Era**
Brief brilliant revival under Nader Shah (Afsharid), then Zand dynasty. **Qajar dynasty** (1796–1925) rules amid European colonial pressures (Russia/Britain), territorial losses, and growing internal weakness.

- **1925–1979: Pahlavi Dynasty**
Reza Shah seizes power (1925), modernizes/secularizes the country, renames it **Iran** officially in 1935 (emphasizing ancient Aryan roots over "Persia"). His son Mohammad Reza Shah pursues rapid Western-style modernization, oil-driven growth, but faces backlash over authoritarianism and cultural alienation.

- **1979–present: Islamic Republic**
The 1979 Islamic Revolution overthrows the Shah. Ayatollah Khomeini establishes a theocratic republic blending Shia clerical rule (Supreme Leader) with elected institutions. Key events include the Iran–Iraq War (1980–1988), nuclear tensions, sanctions, periodic reformist vs. hardliner struggles, major protests (2009, 2019, 2022–2023), and regional conflicts. As of 2026, Iran remains a Shia-majority power with deep historical pride in its pre-Islamic heritage while defined by its post-1979 Islamic system.

In essence, Iran has cycled through being a cradle of early civilization → builder of vast tolerant empires → conquered and Islamized → cultural powerhouse under foreign dynasties → shaper of Shia identity → modernizing monarchy → revolutionary theocracy. Persian language, poetry, art, and a sense of deep historical continuity have endured through every change.

The mullah rule was not given a chance to blossom due to economic sanctions.

 

[True Believer]

CCTV footage of US-Israel missile attack near a boys' school in Iran, Qazvin Province A boy got killed, as you can see in the video The attack happened on the first day of the war. Schools across Iran are now closed

Such scenes are repeated in Israel and Arab countries targeted by Iran as well. In a war, there are no winners.

 

[True Believer]

The mullah rule was not given a chance to blossom due to economic sanctions.

The mullahs are religious extremists aka fanatics aka terrorists.

 

[laksaboy]

Reminder: Islamofascist Iran and China (PRC) were the handiwork of Henry Kissinger, LKY's sifu.

Mr Kissinger pulled the strings and made the moves in the 1970s which led to what you are witnessing today.

 

[Leongsam]

The mullah rule was not given a chance to blossom due to economic sanctions.

Name me one example of where Muslim fundamentalism has resulted in the "blossoming" of any country or region.

The other Arab countries will retaliate against Iran soon. Let the fun begin.

The other arab countries who are sunni, they hate iran which they don't consider as Muslim bro.
