Iran 1970s Style 👑

👑 Princess Leila Pahlavi, the youngest daughter of Shahanshah Aryamehr and the Shahbanu (the Empress), was only 7 years old when she left Iran. Her childhood was intertwined with the revolution, exile from her homeland, and the loss of her beloved father. However, her gentle and inquisitive spirit never faded. The princess ventured into the world of modeling for a time and even experienced this path with the support of Valentino, a close friend of the Shahbanu. But what shone brightest in her heart was a deep love for the history and culture of Iran. The Shahbanu once said that Leila always enthusiastically said, "We must do something so that one day Disney makes a film from the stories of the Shahnameh. The world must know these Persian legends." She was full of ideas, full of dreams to introduce the beauties of Iran to the world. Her life was short and ended in the prime of her youth in Paris, but her name is always remembered in Iranian history with dignity and love for her homeland. In memory of Princess Leila Pahlavi ✨ who always held the love of Iran in her heart.

👑 Princess Soraya Esfandiyari (the title of "Princess" was officially bestowed upon her by the Shah of Iran and the royal institution after her separation, and she has since been addressed by this name in official settings) was the former Queen of Iran who, after a brief experience of royal life, embraced the allure of cinema. Following her separation from the Shah of Iran, her true passion for acting led her to Italy, where she collaborated with a prominent figure in the art world. In 1966, Soraya starred in the film "Three Faces of a Woman" alongside Antonio Giuliano. This film, shot in stunning locations in Italy, remains a memorable piece of cinematic history. Princess Soraya was very popular in European countries, especially in Italy.

👑 This is a photo from the early 1970s, showing the former campus of the Abadan Oil College. If it weren't for the disastrous alliance of the "red" and "black" that led to the Islamic Revolution, Iran would have reached its peak of development and prosperity, and we would not be experiencing this terrorist and criminal regime, the Islamic Republic, and the world would be a better place.

The Shah said: "They (Khomeini and his followers) promise you great terror, and I promise you a great civilization!" Sadly, no one understood the words of the late Shah at the right time.

According to the Shah, he only needed 13 more years to bring Iran to the peak of a great civilization, with flourishing cultural, economic, and industrial development.

We will take our country back!

👑 Iran had the fifth most powerful army in the world in 2532 (Persian calendar) / 1973 (Gregorian calendar), without any tension or conflict with neighboring countries or the rest of the world.
☀️ Every US dollar was worth only seven Tomans / Excellent standard of living for the people / Zero stress for the people / Marriage and birth rates were at their highest / Divorce rates were close to zero / Most major industrial giants and global brands were operating continuously in Imperial Iran, with official representatives.
💎 Just imagine: the conspiracy to destroy Imperial Iran failed, and today we would be economically on par with Japan and South Korea. All the people would be enjoying life without any stress, confident in a bright future for their children...

👑 Before 1979, the Imperial Iranian Air Force stood as one of the most technologically advanced and formidable military aviation forces in the entire Middle East. Equipped with cutting-edge American supersonic jets like the F-14 Tomcat and the F-4 Phantom, the air force operated with elite precision, unmatched tactical capability, and world-class standards of pilot training that commanded global respect. At the heart of this golden era was General Nader Jahanbani, a visionary military leader and master tactician whose profound dedication shaped the skies and left an indelible mark on modern aviation history. As the brilliant mastermind behind the legendary Golden Crown aerobatic team, General Jahanbani transformed aerial demonstration into an art form, captivating international audiences with breathtaking precision flying that rivaled the finest display teams in the world. Beyond his aerobatic mastery, his strategic leadership instilled a culture of excellence and unwavering professionalism within the ranks, elevating the air force into a symbol of national pride and modern capability. This is a tribute to a bygone era of aviation supremacy, the aircraft that defined a generation, and the enduring legacy of a true military icon whose impact continues to resonate decades later.

👑The core of Zoroaster’s teachings centers on a cosmic dualism between truth and deception, the worship of the supreme creator Ahura Mazda, and the absolute free will of humans to choose between good and evil.

His philosophy reformed ancient Persian polytheism and was preserved in the Gathas, a collection of sacred hymns found within the central text known as the Avesta.

☀️ The Three Pillars of Practice
Zoroaster condensed ethical human living into a simple, universal moral triad:

Good Thoughts (Humata): Cultivating pure intentions and aiming for mental clarity.
Good Words (Hukhta): Speaking truth and avoiding deceitful language.
Good Deeds (Hvarshta): Performing constructive, helpful actions that promote universal order.

⚖️ Cosmic Dualism: Asha vs. Druj
Zoroaster taught that the universe is a battleground between two opposing forces:
Asha: The principle of truth, righteousness, order, and light.
Druj: The principle of chaos, lies, destruction, and darkness.

The Divine Divide: The supreme god Ahura Mazda (the Wise Lord) embodies absolute goodness, while Angra Mainyu (or Ahriman) represents the destructive, chaotic spirit of evil.

🧬 Free Will and Human Agency
Unlike many ancient fatalistic belief systems, Zoroaster placed immense responsibility on the individual:
Active Enlistment: Humans possess absolute free will and must actively choose to support Asha over Druj.
Cosmic Impact: Your daily actions directly shift the cosmic balance toward the ultimate victory of good.
Rejection of Asceticism: Fasting and celibacy are discouraged; spiritual purity is achieved by actively engaging with and improving the physical world.

🌱 Reverence for Nature and Sacred Elements
Zoroaster taught that the natural world is a good creation of Ahura Mazda that must be protected:
🔥Sacred Fire: Fire and water are treated as symbols of purity and truth, used as focal points for prayer rather than objects of worship themselves.
Rejection of Cruelty: His teachings strictly banned the cruel animal sacrifices common in early pagan traditions, urging care for cattle and working animals.

👑🏛️ Chivalry in the Ancient World: Shapur II at the Siege of Amida

History often remembers ancient warfare only for its brutality, but the Roman historian Ammianus Marcellinus—an eyewitness to the Roman-Persian wars—recorded a remarkable act of restraint by the Sassanid King, Shapur II.

In 359 AD, after a grueling 73-day siege, the strategic Roman frontier city of Amida (modern-day Diyarbakır, Turkey) fell to the Sassanid Persian army. Despite the fierce and bloody battle that preceded it, Shapur II took strict measures to protect the most vulnerable citizens.

According to Ammianus's accounts:

📜 Protection of Women: Shapur II gave strict orders that Christian nuns and Roman women captured in the city were to be protected from any form of assault.

📜 Preserving Dignity: He forbade his soldiers from violating their chastity, ensuring their honor remained untouched.

📜 Provision of Food: Rather than leaving them to starve, the Sassanid king ordered that these women be given adequate food and provisions.

While the fall of Amida was a brutal military conquest, Shapur II's specific command to protect captured women stands out in ancient history as a notable example of wartime chivalry and discipline.
