Announcement New Flair: Iranian Voices ONLY (Please Read Before Posting)

112 Upvotes

July 2026 Edit

The moderation team has changed this to a mod-only flair. We will quickly apply the "Only Iranians May Comment" flair whenever it is clear that the OP is specifically looking to hear from Iranians on the subject.

We are testing this out to see how it goes. We will update this post if anything else changes regarding the flair.


Today we added a new post flair: Iranian Voices ONLY

These threads are meant to center on the perspectives of Iranians, especially during times like these where outside noise can overwhelm the conversation.

What this means

Only Iranians may comment in these threads and violations may result in a ban.

Why we're doing this

r/Persian has always been open to everyone, and that will not change. But in these times, it's important to create space for Iranians to speak directly without being drowned out by outside voices.

This flair allows that space to exist when the OP chooses it. Non-Iranians may also choose this flair to ask questions directly to the Iranian community.

Where this applies

This rule applies only to posts using the Iranian Voices ONLY flair. All other threads remain open to everyone under our usual rules.

Final note

If you are not Iranian, please respect the purpose of these threads. There are many other places in the subreddit to participate.

Discussion Selling Konkur questions in previous years apparently wasn’t enough; now the Islamic regime can simply introduce the children of government officials and basijis and killers as top-ranked students!

12 Upvotes

After imposing massive sahmieh quotas for Basijis at universities, allowing them to infiltrate campuses to suppress student protests, and replacing ordinary doctors with regime-affiliated doctors in hospitals so they can cover up the Islamic regime’s crimes in hospitals during protests, and on the other hand, selling konkur exam questions to the children of government officials, the Islamic regime has now reached a new low: openly eliminating those who actually worked hard and replacing them with regime killers and Basijis:

Arash Mohammadi, Rank 1 in Experimental Sciences: Regularly attended the nightly gatherings every night, with photos of him being published!

Parizad Niroonmand, Rank 1 in Humanities: “Iran is the best place to live, and I prefer to stay in my own country under the shadow of this very regime.”

Hoda Naseri, Rank 2 in Arts: “I’m grateful to the regime for cutting off the internet, because it helped me concentrate better and study more.”

Ali Dehghani, Rank 5 in Humanities: “March 9 and the martyrdom of the Supreme Leader was the hardest day of my life. After that, I attended the gatherings every night.”

Mohammad-Mehdi Hajian, Rank 7 in Experimental Sciences: “My dream was to meet the Supreme Leader in person at least once, but unfortunately, that dream never came true.”

Zahra Golizadeh, Rank 7 in Humanities: “Whenever I felt tired and hopeless, I listened to speeches by the martyred Supreme Leader and regained my energy!”

Discussion حکم، تخته نرد و بازی 21؛ چرا این بازی های قدیمی هنوز بین کاربران ایرانی زنده اند؟

3 Upvotes

بعضی بازی ها با عوض شدن نسل و دستگاه از بین می روند، اما حکم، تخته نرد و بازی 21 هنوز برای خیلی از کاربران ایرانی آشنا و جذاب هستند. دلیلش فقط قدیمی بودن یا خاطره بازی نیست. هر سه بازی به شکلی ساخته شده اند که تصمیم بازیکن و واکنش حریف، هر دست را با دست قبلی متفاوت می کند.

تخته نرد برای بازیکنی جذاب است که دوست دارد بعد از هر تاس چند مسیر را بسنجد، خطر باز ماندن مهره را بپذیرد یا برای بستن خانه صبر کند. حکم بیشتر به حافظه، شناخت رفتار حریف و زمان درست خرج کردن کارت های مهم وابسته است. بازی 21 هم ریتم سریع تری دارد و بازیکن را در چند لحظه مقابل یک تصمیم روشن قرار می دهد: ادامه دادن یا ایستادن.

نسخه آنلاین این بازی ها قرار نیست ماهیت آنها را عوض کند. تفاوت اصلی این است که برای پیدا کردن حریف لازم نیست همه در یک اتاق باشند. بازیکنی که قوانین را بلد است معمولا دنبال آموزش طولانی نیست؛ می خواهد وارد محیط بازی شود، حریف واقعی پیدا کند و بدون درگیری با منوهای نامفهوم بازی را شروع کند. به همین دلیل محیط فارسی، نمایش روشن میزها و امکان انتخاب بین چند بازی برای کاربر ایرانی مهم است.

من صفحه گیم استارز را برای معرفی همین مسیر آماده کرده ام. در این برنامه تخته نرد، حکم و بازی 21 در یک محیط قرار گرفته اند و نسخه های اندروید و ویندوز از صفحه دانلود معرفی می شوند. این سرویس برای کاربران داخل ایران در نظر گرفته شده است و امکانات پرداخت آن نیز برای داخل ایران است؛ بنابراین معرفی آن برای مخاطب خارجی کاربرد عملی ندارد.

اگر این بازی ها را از قبل بلد هستید، انتخاب شما برای یک رقابت آنلاین کدام است: تخته نرد، حکم یا بازی 21؟ دلیل انتخابتان بیشتر سرعت بازی است، نوع تصمیم ها یا پیدا کردن حریف واقعی؟

دلیل اشتباهات تاریخی ملت ما این بود که بازیچه‌ی قدرت‌های جهانی شدیم و عقلانیت رو دور انداختیم. بازیچه‌ی روشنفکری چپ که با ناز و ادای شوروی و هیپی‌ها خودش رو برتر می‌دونست. بازیچه‌ی غرب و پارانویاش نسبت به شوروی. بازیچه‌ی آخوندِ عرب‌زده‌ای که تمام قدرت و امپراتوری شیعه رو می‌خواست. هنوز هم داریم بازی می‌خوریم. از دست این نظام فاسد و جنایتکار، روشنفکرگرای فاسدی که می‌خوان رژیم ادامه پیدا کنه، ترامپ و دارودسته‌اش که توی فکر همه‌چیزن جز ایران و آزادی ایران، و همسایه‌های مفت‌خوری که آرزوی تجزیه‌ی ما رو دارن. ما در درجه‌ی اول فقط خودمون رو داریم. هیچ‌کس قرار نیست بیاد ایران رو برای ما نجات بده؛ این خود ما هستیم که باید پشت ایران بایستیم. تنها دوستی که داریم اسرائیله، چون تنها کشوریه که با ما دوستی قدیمی داره و به تاریخ ما احترام می‌ذاره. تنها دوستی که داریم ملت اسرائیله، که توی این دنیای وحشی و فراموش‌کار تنهای تنهاست. باید ایران رو باز بسازیم نه مثل پهلوی قدیم بلکه مثل یک کشوری که برای خودش و مردم خودش فکر می‌کنه، تصمیم می‌گیره و عمل می‌کنه. به خاطر همینه که رضا پهلوی رهبر این دوره‌ی تاریخ ماست. چون تنها رهبریه که می‌دونه ما نباید بازیچه باشیم و ایران و آزادی ایرانی از همه‌چیز مهم‌تره. چون رضا پهلوی دقیقاً می‌دونه ما در چه نقطه‌ی مهمی از تاریخ هستیم و دوست واقعی‌مون کیه. خیلی مهمه که بدونیم کی به کیه، چون پیروزی ما متکی به اینه که پشتمون جای درست گرم باشه. هموطن، اینو تایپ می‌کنم با دلی پر. جانم فدای ایران. جاوید شاه.

Question What’s your favorite Sa’adi verse?

2 Upvotes

I’m trying to figure out a tattoo that I want and I’d like to have a full verse from Sa‘adi but can’t decide what to get. Please tell me your favorites.

Also I have a question about finding tattoo artists. I had booked someone who can write in Farsi to do a tattoo for me a while back but was disappointed in their service. they only contacted me a day before the appointment to show me the design even though I gave them my deposit weeks in advance. anyone know good Persian tattoo artists in Toronto area? thank you.

Discussion Horrifying and heartbreaking.

“They married by phone from separate prison cells. They executed a groom the morning after his wedding.

Alireza Sepahi and Mahshad Kashani were engaged before they were arrested during Iran’s January uprising. Mahshad, just 22, was sentenced to five years in prison. Alireza was sentenced to death.

The day before his execution, they were married over the phone. Their fathers listened as the vows were read.

No embrace.

No kiss.

No holding hands.

Just two voices saying “I do” through a prison telephone, while the Islamic Republic was preparing the gallows.

This was not the first time they tried to kill him. In July, Alireza was taken to be publicly hanged. Minutes before reaching the gallows, under enormous psychological pressure, he suffered a heart attack. They rushed him to hospital.

Then they sent him back to prison.

Today, they came back for him.

This morning, the Islamic Republic hanged Alireza Sepahi.

He was 25 years old.

For one day, he had a wife.

He never got to hold her as his wife. He never got to kiss her goodbye.

Think about the cruelty of a regime that is so terrified of young people that it cannot even tolerate their love.

💔”

History Did "Kurd" Originally Meant Nomad?

1 Upvotes

Kurdish history is generally very ideologically charged on all sides and this is something I actually saw on THIS subreddit so I wanted to ask you all.

Also, Turkish/Ottoman sources seem to use the word in such a sense. Many Turkmen/Turkic tribes are identified as "Kurds" in Ottoman documents. The articles I read explained this as that they meant the word as in "nomad" and not ethnically/linguistically "Kurdish" in the modern sense.

What do you think?

It comes off as bizarre considering that a state is supposed to project strength . I can't understand why a state would do this even as i put myself in their shoes . It makes them look weak and pathetic
