Found an amazing web site with impressive catalog of poetry and literature in Farsi.
I used to have a very large library when I was in Sweden, and took them with me to US when my company moved me there, but I had to gave them away when I went back to take care of my parents, I only kept a few books of Khayyam and Hafez with me.
Finding this site is like a dream come true. It has search function too and sorting the poets based on the timeline, from 11th century to 21st.
Hi Trump

Iran is doing more for the left’s messaging than the Democratic Party ever has 🤣
#Iran authorities are carrying out a horrific state murder spree, with at least 113 reported executions in the first 25 days of May alone.

"The damage President Trump has inflicted on the United States and the world is so enormous and wide-ranging that it is hard to grasp. ...Voters in this country twice elected a president with no ethics, no empathy and no end to his narcissism."
"Easily the worst president in U.S. history…."
~ Thomas B. Edsall

I wrote my undergraduate thesis on #Iran's nuclear program. I learned two things:
- All countries, including Iran, have a right to peaceful nuclear power.
- Whether the U.S. condemns a country's covert nuclear weapons program depends largely on whether we are allies with the country. Israel's program is illegal, and destabilizing, but they are allies, so...🤷

On seeing Iran in the news, I want to say
my grandmother was called Nasreen,
that she died two years ago in Tabriz
and I couldn’t go to say goodbye,
that she knew nothing of power,
nuclear or otherwise…

Trump And Dump:
A serious form of securities fraud where Trump uses the Presidency to artificially inflate the price of stocks, oil or cryptocurrency through false, misleading, or hyped statements.
Once investors buy in and the price rises, Trump and his insiders sell their shares at a high profit, causing the price to crash and leaving victims with significant losses.

Well this is embarrassing. Iran is good at propaganda.

Trump is the best negotiator EVER! 🙄
MSNBC:
BREAKING: #Iran claims nuclear talks are off after Israel strikes multiple locations across the country.
Via Mehdi Hasan:
#Trump wants you to blieve this is abt #Iran signing nuc deal-one he tore up in 2018!-but Israel just killed Iran’s lead nuc negotiator who was telling US TV just 2 wks ago Iran was open to deal
@quilombo.bsky.social:
A few wks ago Trump posted NBC interview w top Iranian official Ali Shamkhani on Truth Soc.
Shamkhani, who was overseeing Iranian nuclear file, said:
"If the Americans act as they say, for sure we can have better relations."
Israel has killed Shamkhani
the hard truth is that the #PentagonPizzaReport crushed all the experts when it came to predicting #Israel's attack on #Iran

The “peace” president isn’t exactly qualifying for that Nobel prize he covets.
Bradley P. Moss:
There should be a requirement that every conservative social media influencer gets conscripted to serve in that war.
" #Trump Tells ABC News He’s Mulling an Attack On #Iran — Says ‘We Could Get Involved’. Hope those young guys who voted for Trump don't mind dying for Israel."
