Persians ( Iranian People)

While a categorization of a Persian ethnic group persists in the West, Persians have generally been a pan-national group often comprising regional people who often refer to themselves as 'Persians' and have also often used the term Iranian.
Old Persians were part of the wider Ariya (Iranian nation). Until the Parthian era, Iranian identity had an ethnic, linguistic, and religious value, however it did not yet have a political import. In the 1st century BCE, Strabo (c. 64 BCE--24 CE) would note a relationship between the various Iranian peoples and their languages: [From] beyond the Indus [...] Ariana is extended so as to include some part of Persia, Media, and the north of Bactria and Sogdiana; for these nations speak nearly the same language. (Geography, 15.2.1--15.2.8. He mentions the Cyrtians, the plausible ancestors of the modern Kurds as one of the Persian tribes. Cyrtians, the generally accepted progenitors of the Kurds and Lurs. This makes Kurds Persians and not Medians.

Travel to Tehran(Iran)

TEHRAN. IRAN (PERSIA) / Music: Mohsen Namjoo

Soleimani: Huge funeral crowds pack Tehran

Soleimani: Huge crowds pack Tehran for commander's funeral.

Iran's supreme leader wept as he led prayers for Qasem Soleimani, as huge crowds gathered in Tehran.

Vast crowds turned out for the funeral.

Among those there was Esmail Ghaani, the new head of Quds.

[News script from BBC]

Huge crowds packed the streets of the Iranian capital Tehran for the funeral of the slain Iranian military commander Qasem Soleimani.

Soleimani was assassinated in a US drone strike in Iraq on Friday on the orders of President Donald Trump.

[All clips may not represent the story.]

Iran's supreme leader Ayatollah Khamenei led prayers and at one point was seen weeping.

Iran has vowed severe revenge for the death of Soleimani and on Sunday pulled back from the 2015 nuclear accord.

Soleimani, 62, headed Iran's elite Quds Force, and was tasked with protecting and boosting Iran's influence in the Middle East.

His career saw him support Syria's President Bashar al-Assad in the country's civil conflict, aid the Shia militant group Hezbollah in Lebanon and guide Iraqi militia groups against Islamic State.

Soleimani was hailed as a national hero in Iran and widely considered the second most powerful man in the country behind Supreme Leader Khamenei.

[Watch to become bilingual with latest world news.]

The US saw him as a terrorist, and justifying the killing President Trump said Soleimani was plotting imminent attacks on US diplomats and military personnel.

What happened at Soleimani's funeral?
State television showed huge crowds in Tehran for the event. It put the number who turned out as millions although this is yet to be verified.

People cried while others clutched pictures of the late commander. Mourners passed his coffin over their heads and death to America chants were heard.

His daughter Zeinab Soleimani warned the US it faces a dark day for the killing. Crazy Trump, don't think that everything is over with my father's martyrdom, she said.

Following Monday's funeral, the general's remains will then be taken to Qom, one of the centres of Shia Islam, for a ceremony ahead of a funeral in his hometown of Kerman on Tuesday.

How has Iran responded to the killing?
On Sunday Iran declared it would no longer abide by any of the restrictions imposed by the 2015 nuclear deal.

The deal limited Iranian nuclear capacities in exchange for the lifting of economic sanctions.

But in a statement, Iran said it would no longer observe limitations on its capacity for enrichment, the level of enrichment, the stock of enriched material, or research and development.

Three European parties to the deal - Germany, France and the UK - urged Iran to abide by its terms.

Also on Sunday, Iraqi MPs passed a non-binding resolution calling for foreign troops to leave. US forces were invited to return to Iraq to help defeat the Islamic State group.

The new head of Iran's Quds force has vowed to expel the US from the Middle East.

How has Trump reacted?
Following warnings from Iran, Mr Trump said that the US would respond in the event of retaliation for Soleimani's death, perhaps in a disproportionate manner.

He repeated a threat to target Iranian cultural sites, saying the US would strike very fast and very hard if Tehran attacked Americans or US assets.

President Trump also threatened severe sanctions against Iraq if US troops left.

We have a very extraordinarily expensive air base that's there. It cost billions of dollars to build. We're not leaving unless they pay us back for it, he told reporters.

What are Iran's key cultural sites?
The suggestion that the US could target Iranian cultural sites sparked alarm in Iran and beyond. Such action could be considered a war crime under international law.

Iran is home to two dozen Unesco World Heritage sites. These are sites that the UN's cultural organisation believes need preserving for their cultural, historic or scientific significance. These include:

1. Persepolis, the sprawling ancient ruins which date back to 518 BC and were the site of the capital of the ancient Persian Achaemenid empire.
2. Naqsh-e Jahan Square in the city of Isfahan, which was built in the early 17th century and is is one of the largest city squares in the world.
3. Golestan Palace in Tehran, the residence and seat of power for the Qajar dynasty which ruled Iran from 1785 to 1925.
There are also a number of sites which - while not listed by Unesco - still retain huge cultural importance ,such as the Mausoleum of Ruhollah Khomeini, dedicated to the Islamic Republic's founder.

Thousands joined the commemoration ceremony of the death of Ali Asghar, the great - grandson of Prophet Muhammad, on Friday. Six-month-old Ali Asghar was the youngest martyr of Battle of Karbala that happened on October 10 in 680.

Women were seen carrying their children dressed in white and green and chanting religious slogans.

One of the ceremony's attendees, Elham Radfar, said We have come here to show the world that we are the followers of prophets' religion and beliefs and we will always be.

These conferences are really good if we bring our children here, we will be able to make our children familiar with Islamic culture and customs of Ashura, another attendee, Mariam Fazeli said.

According to Head of the World Commemoration Assembly of Ali Asghar, Davoud Manafipour, over 6,250 similar commemoration ceremonies are expected to be held in Iran and 45 other countries around the world.

Iran from a Different Lens | Maryam Ghadiri | TEDxPurdueU

When only one side of a story is told, the truth can be blurred or completely disjointed. When Maryam arrived in the U.S. she encountered stereotypes and predisposed opinions causing her to hide her own identity as Iranian. She now describes how she rekindled the pride she once had for her motherland, Iran, through curating a photo exhibit that celebrates Iran's rich culture, diversity and beauty.

Maryam Ghadiri is originally from Iran and came to Purdue University to pursue her PhD. Her main passion in life is nature, education and art. She tries to combine her passion with her current work at the Center for Global Soundscapes at Purdue University. For her PhD, she designs multi­modal curricula for middle school and the visually impaired youth to teach the ecological concepts of soundscape ecology through different hands on activities and field work. For her, environmental education is not just teaching science, it is mainly about creating amazing learning experiences to motivate young students and make them value nature as well as science. As a visual artist, she always incorporates art in scientific activities and believes that art and science can be interconnected as they inspire both scientists and artists.

This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at

Iran/Tehran (World's largest Bazaar1) Part 14

Welcome to my travelchannel.On my channel you can find almost 1000 films of more than 70 countries. See the playlist on my youtube channel.Enjoy!

Tehran / Grand Bazaar world's largest Bazaar
The Grand Bazaar also known as Tehran's Grand Bazaar (Persian: بازار بزرگ تهران Bâzâr Bozorg-e Tehrân) is a historical market situated in the capital of Iran, Tehran. Throughout its history, in addition to shops the Grand bazaar has contained banks and financiers, mosques and guest houses.
Traditionally, the Tehran bazaar was split into corridors, each specialising in different types of goods, including copper, carpets, paper, spices, and precious metals, as well as small traders selling all types of goods.Today, modern goods are available as well, in addition to the many traditional corridor traders that still survive. It is located In Arg Square and the main entrance is Sabze meydoon.
The Grand Bazaar is located in southern Tehran; its many corridors are over 10 km in length. There are several entrances, some of which are locked and guarded at night.
The Grand bazaar is still an important place of commerce for Tehranis, Iranians, travelling merchants and - increasingly - tourists. However, much of the trade and finance in the city has moved to the north of the city, leaving the bazaar somewhat decreased in importance. Still, in addition to the traditional goods on sale, the market for watches and local jewellery is apparently growing, most likely for the benefits of tourists. As is in keeping with the market spirit, tourists are encouraged to haggle. The bazaar is busiest around midday, and between 17:00 and 19:00.As of October 2005, plans are in place to construct a hotel in the southern section of the bazaar for the benefit of tourists, in a bid to make the bazaar more hospitable and to regain some of its importance.
History
While the current bazaar is most associated with the 19th century onwards, its roots go back much further.
The area around Tehran has been settled since at least 6,000 BCE, and while bazaar-like construction in Iran as a whole has been dated as far back as 4,000 BCE, Tehran's bazaar is not this old. It is hard to say exactly when the bazaar first appeared, but in the centuries following the introduction of Islam, travellers reported the growth of commerce in the area now occupied by the current bazaar. The Grand bazaar is a continuation of this legacy.Research indicates that a portion of today's bazaar predated the growth of the village of Tehran under the Safavids' dynasty, although it was during and after this period that the bazaar began to grow gradually.Western travellers indicated that by 1660 BCE and beyond, the bazaar area was still largely open, and only partially covered.

Iranian TV Presenter Warns Iranians: The Coming Year Will Be Hellish from an Economic Perspective

On January 22, 2020, Iranian TV presenter Mahmoud Shahriari uploaded a video to the Internet in which he addressed the Iranian public. He predicted that the coming Persian year of 1399 will be “hellish” for the Iranian public from an economic perspective. Basing his prediction on conversations he said he had with economic experts, Shahriari said that since the government cannot sell oil due to the economic sanctions, it will take money from the pockets of the people. He also said that all the banks in Iran are bankrupt and that the central bank wants to bail them out. Shahriari warned: “The money you have in the bank is not safe in any way, shape, or form… Handle your finances!”
