Religion
Kamangir | July 25, 2006 | Category Iran
This photograph is taken during a protest by religious students in Qom, the Iranian Vatican. It shows a man entering a shrine. Holding a picture of Nasrollah, Hezbollah’s leader, the man is kissing the shrine’s door. To my understanding this picture is a very short and yet precise description of what is really going on in Lebanon and may happen in Tehran too. Forget morality and humanity, but never mess with people’s religion like what Israel is doing.
Hezbollah, The Mystery is Solved
Kamangir | July 25, 2006 | Category Iran
There are two very important questions regarding the current situation of Lebanon. One, is it true that there are two Lebanese authorities, namely the Lebanese government and Hezbollah? Two, is it true that Hezbollah is inspired and also supported by the Islamic Republic? During a short trip in Tehran the parliament speaker Haddade Adel solved both mysteries. He first visited the Lebanese embassy in Tehran. The first picture shows him with Adnan Mansour, the ambassador. Then, he visited the Hezbollah office in Tehran. The second picture shows him and Safieddin, Hezbollah’s representative in Tehran. So, basically, there are two Lebanese identities. From the photographs published in Mehr News Agency it appears that he met the two men in two different buildings (see) (see). Also, read the caption of the images in Fars (see). So, the first mystery is solved. Regarding the second question just imagine why Iranian supreme leader’s picture should be hanging in Hezbollah’s office. I am sure the Islamic Republic would not hesitate to help a few million dollars to its devotees.
Problem with Niyazov
Kamangir | July 25, 2006 | Category Iran
Ahmadinejad traveled to Turkmenistan and was greeted by Saparmurat Niyazov (see), the not very much elected head of the state. They seem to have a fine time together. The only problem is that if Niyazov comes to Tehran he may not be able to enter governmental buildings with his tie. He also has to change from his short-sleeve shirt into a more moderate one.
