if anyone could tell me how possible it is and what the proper steps would be that would be great, thank you

Hey guys! I’m wanting to send a package to my friend who lives in Iran. Im thinking of sending non perishable halal food items, snacks etc and maybe an outfit or something, not really sure yet.

I live in Australia too by the way. Has anyone else sent something from Australia or surrounding countries? Has it even gotten there? I don’t want to send something that ends up getting lost in transit or just not arriving at all.

Thanks!!

Mine expires in 04-2027. The embassy in the country I live in never answers the phone. So I wonder, can I renew it now or would the request be rejected if it's quite a long time before it expires? Thanks for all input..

Sorry if this kind of post is not allowed but my partner works with a woman from Iran named Tayebeh and has worked with her for 3 months now. Sadly, I have just learned that both my partner, and everyone at work have no idea how to properly pronounce her name even after three months. Everyone apparently is too embarrassed to ask. I cant ask her because I don’t work there and have never met her in person. We tried to look it up online but the videos we found all seem to pronounce it differently.

Hi, I am sorry for not being aware already, but a co-worker of my husband is Iranian and I would love to send her a thank you gift. They work at a hospital, I was admitted to the hospital unexpectedly on Monday, so my husband took time to be with me, but after a good 24 hours with me I sent him home for some sleep. This wonderful woman took the time to continue to check on me and keep my things stored while I was under and in surgery. I would love to get her a small gift of hand made chocolate, maybe some nuts and dried fruit. Are these ok? Is there anything I should be aware of? Thanks so much!

Hi everyone! Is there a way to find Frog tv series with english subtitles? I tried to google it but cant find it anywhere.. I was only able to find the original one without the subtitles. Seems like it is a really good show rated 8.1. Thank you in advance!!!

Salam everyone!!!, Me and my Iranian partner are getting legally married in my home country and one of the required documents is my partners address proof. I know that most of the identity documents in Iran doesn't mention the address. Do someone know what can i use as an address proof that is common in Iran?

Thanks in advance!!!!

Can someone let me know what the word hamlevar (حملور) means in English? I’ve seen it written. Google translate says “carrier” but I’m not sure what to make of that. Any help is appreciated, much thanks

EDIT title should say ‘of’ instead of ‘if’

hello everyone i'm currently working on my master thesis about a female architect who had her own office in teheran throughout the 1970 until early 1980s. She built some pretty cool stuff, public buildings, libraries, hotels, etc.

i would love to know if some of the projects still exist today and if there is any research regarding iranian architecture and architects of the late modern / post-modern and even contemporary period.

looking forward to your answers. best wishes from germany.

New York cheesecake was amazing

This might be an odd one. I have a very nice Persian name. I’ve always loved it and when I was younger, being influenced by another friend with the same name, I got creative on how to spell it in English. The generic Iranian style of the name leans towards the French spelling, i for ای sound and oo or ou for the او sound. But younger me knew better, so I went with ee and u respectively. I was quite happy with it until I moved abroad and started to realize that:

1. It’s tedious to spell it each time to get people to write my name whenever I need to (which is like always!)

2. I often get judged by my name, and get placed in an Indian box.

3. It simply doesn’t look Persian enough where as the standard spelling could be more Persian (even though I have an Arabic last name and again, I don’t know for an average westerner without much knowledge of Persian vs. Indian vs. Brazilian, etc.! would make much difference…

4. I also feel like the spelling doesn’t look as nice as I once thought it did.

I keep thinking about changing it, but I don’t know how much of an impact it would have, plus the hassle of getting that done in all the paperwork…

But this is a recurring thought that’s in my head almost 24/7 and most of the times prevents me from signing up onto new websites (if I don’t want to have a fake nickname) because I keep thinking I should change my name or struggle with keeping the existing one and the thoughts above come to my head.

I’ve even talked to therapists about this and I’m still not over it! Would you folks help me with this? 🥺

Song is “Rostam e Dastān” by Farya Faraji”

this is an iranian movie where the main character is a girl who looks like a deer but human? i remember it being pretty old and having it on a DVD. the name "ahu" comes to mind but i can't find it anywhere. any help?

Hey. I was just wondering if Iran would be okay to visit alone as I am from England? Should I expect any uncomfortable situations/stares since I'm black? I was thinking of visiting and spending 8 days. Tehran, Karaj, Shiraz and Isfahan wherever is good enough on a budget. Would 8 days be enough to see all four cities?

I always want to visit and pray at Jamkaran Mosque.

It's a generic biosimilar medication, I cannot find any reviews or feedback about it so I'm anxious to start taking it.

Do you know anyone that tried it or can anyone confirm if it can be trusted?

Thanks.

Visa card is blocked in Iran, carrying cash is limited by customs rules. So I come up with this idea. Anyone has better suggestions? I am a tourist who need to save some cash for later travel (like Iraq .)

I oftentimes think about where I'd like to live to get out of the belly of the beast. How would an American be received in Iran? Socially? Professionally?

By trade, I'm a computer engineer with mostly a software development background.

I have no specific religion. As a former Christian I understand it, but religion isn't for me.

Politically, I'm a raging communist and anti-imperialist, but that's why I'm dreaming of leaving the US... So I can think about other things.

I suspect learning Persian is difficult. Do many people speak English?

Kind of niche, but to the Iranian / Persian-Armenian diaspora community, does anyone remember The Goorgen Show and what network it was on? Or even similar shows? I'm trying to find footage of full episodes online or sources to lead me to some information for an archival-memory based paper I'm writing around US diasporic communities and public access content. I can't find anything other than Goorgen's YouTube/Instagram page and his music videos. I'm mainly interested in the segments he would have where it would just be footage he would take driving around Iranian streets. My grandparent's would reminisce a lot when watching that specific segment and the streets they'd walk on when they resided there versus how it looks now.

My parents are both from Pakistan, but I recently learned that my mother has a surname that my Iranian friend says is quite common in Iran. I'm curious about how common the surname "Hosseini" is in Iran

"Jana"

What does it mean? "Jana"

Especially if you are familiar with Otakus' slangs, does it mean "Bye"?

I did research it before, but I want to make sure of what it means. Because someone told me it means "Bye" and it's like a slang that otakus use.

Hello everyone, I hope you are well.

First, I’m from Egypt. A week ago, I went to visit my grandmother, and while we were talking, she told me that my 4th grandfather was Iranian, not Egyptian. At first, I didn’t believe her, but then she showed me pictures of him in Iran and I was shocked i mean by "4th grandfather" my grandfather’s father.

I have always been passionate about Eastern civilizations, especially Egyptian and Persian, because they are among the greatest civilizations in history., and Iran was one of the biggest supporters of Egypt in its war against Israel, and even more Shah buried in Egypt after the Islamic Revolution.

Away from politics , I decided to visit Iran, especially Shiraz he was from it. I’m not sure name has changed or not, and I would like you all to tell me more places to visit. and as a Sunni Muslim, could this upset some Iranians?

I'm sorry for the long message, and in the end, I want to say that I am happy to discover that I'm Egyptian Pharaoh with a beautiful Poetic-Persian tongue.🇪🇬🇮🇷

♥️ممنون شما و همه شما را دوست دارم ( I translated that with Google )
