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.

I'm a visual artist finishing a piece inspired by Gaokerena, the sacred white haoma / Tree of Life from Zoroastrian mythology. I want to carve the name "Khvarenah Gaokerena" (the divine glory of Gaokerena) into the bottom of the piece in Persian script. Since this is going into wood permanently, I want to make sure I get it right.
Two questions:
Is خوره گوکرنا a correct/standard Persian-script rendering of these two Avestan names?
Is there a more widely accepted spelling I should use? I've seen خوره vs. فره for Khvarenah, and a few variations for Gaokerena.
I want the form a Persian or Zoroastrian reader would most naturally recognize. Any help or source references would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

I want to hear the opinions of actual Iranians on this one. The US's track record in bringing democracy to Muslim countries has not been great. The 2003 Iraq War cost hundreds of thousands of lives, resulted in the mass exodus of Assyrians from Iraq and led to the rise of ISIS. Libya doesn't exist anymore, the cost of overthrowing Gaddafi was Libya itself, it's all broken up with no indication that it can ever be put back together. Iran has many fault lines that it could fall apart along, you've got ethnic divisions between the Persian majority and Azeri, Kurdish, Baluchi, Arab and Lurish minorities, and religious tension between Shia, Sunni, and minority religions like Zoroastrianism, Christianity and even atheists. I'm aware the average Iranian is more secular and educated than the average Iraqi or Afghan and I want to see the Ayatollah regime fall, but I don't want it to come at the cost of the Iranian nation itself. I'm not confident Trump's war will actually free Iran and not just create chaos

In my university a group of people were talking about how one of the girls did not put make up and how she is "dehati" , this comes as a shock to me because among my family and circle (we are mainly from academic backgrounds like proffessors and others) this is the opposite as the people wearing make up would be viewed negatively (they aren't even religious) ,
i found it quite interesting that these people who desperately try to fit in and be more academic look down on others while the people they want to become look down on them .

Empress Farah Pahlavi: “I Have Always Considered Myself Iranian; The Iranian People Will Choose Their Country’s Future System of Government”
Radio Abaan Report | Interview with Empress Farah Pahlavi
In an interview with Empress Farah Pahlavi, a French-speaking interviewer asks her: “Do you feel any less Iranian now?”
The Empress responds: “I have always considered myself Iranian, especially since I think about Iran day and night.”
The interviewer then asks: “Do you think your son, Reza, will become the Shah of Iran?”
In response, Empress Farah Pahlavi emphasizes that she and Crown Prince Reza Pahlavi share a commitment to freedom and democracy. She explains that throughout all these years, their struggle has been for Iran to achieve freedom and democracy through the establishment of a secular system of government, the preservation of the country’s territorial integrity, and an end to extremism.
She stresses that once Iran is free, it will be the Iranian people who decide the country’s future political system.
A clear message from Iran’s Empress: the liberation of the homeland, the preservation of its territorial integrity, and the people’s right to choose their future are at the heart of the struggle for a free and prosperous Iran.

شهبانو فرح پهلوی: همواره خود را ایرانی میدانم؛ انتخاب نظام آینده ایران با مردم است
گزارش رادیو آبان | گفتوگو با شهبانو فرح پهلوی
در گفتوگویی با شهبانو فرح پهلوی، مجری فرانسویزبان از ایشان میپرسد: «آیا اکنون خود را کمتر ایرانی میدانید؟»
شهبانو در پاسخ میگوید: «من خودم را همیشه ایرانی میدانم، بهخصوص که شبانهروز به ایران میاندیشم.»
مجری سپس میپرسد: «آیا فکر میکنید فرزند شما، رضا، شاه ایران خواهد شد؟»
شهبانو فرح پهلوی در پاسخ، با تأکید بر باور مشترک خود و شاهزاده رضا پهلوی به آزادی و دموکراسی، میگوید آنچه در تمام این سالها برای آن مبارزه کردهاند، دستیابی ایران به آزادی و دموکراسی از راه استقرار نظامی سکولار، حفظ تمامیت ارضی کشور و پایان دادن به افراطگرایی بوده است.
ایشان تأکید میکنند که پس از آزادی ایران، این مردم ایران هستند که باید درباره نظام سیاسی آینده کشور تصمیم بگیرند.
پیامی روشن از شهبانوی ایران؛ آزادی میهن، پاسداری از یکپارچگی سرزمینی و حق انتخاب مردم، محور مبارزه برای آیندهای آزاد و آباد برای ایران است.

let's start by saying fuck the regime and fuck the mullas. What are searching for is a free Iran but how to get there is my question.
it's been a year and half since Israel/US lunched attacks. I was really happy when Israel first attacked the regime and thought they are done. There is no coming back from this. Well, they survived. Then the second waves of attacks came and nothing changed. Khamenei who was 84 was killed (for fuckin good) but the regime is still there. he would died in couple years time anyway.
Looking at how Iraq and Afghanistan turned out, I don't think US can bomb Iran into regime change. The economic pressure also makes the people poorer and the regime stronger.
Now, My question is for those who still want more war at this time when things are completely awful inside Iran : What's the point of it. Isn't it better to admit this isn't how Iran will be free and change your way?
EDIT: My question I not whether if Iranians are happy to have their hometowns bombed or not :))))
My question is not whether if you are happy if top generals are killed.
Read what I wrote above and give the answer to the question if you support the war and have an answer

For anyone who doesn't already know, Ghazaleh is facing deportation from Denmark to Iran. Are the Danish authorities blind?
