Sorry for late response just got internet access. Yes both suck. I live in a theocratic dictatorship which murders their own people as much as needed to keep their grip on power. Trump is definitely an old asshole billionaire like the rest of them. This guy promised to help us and now he is negotiating a deal with these murderers. guess nobody actually cared...

There are a few I can understand some of them We have:

azari (آذری) or turki (ترکی)

shomali (شمالی)

Kordi(کردی)

Lori(لری)

Threre are also Afghan people they speak a dialect call pashtoo (پشتو)

Some people speak Arabic here too mostly in Southern parts of the country

There are others too these are the most prevalent ones

Ofcourse the official one is called Farsi (فارسی)

Most people here speak understand this one

They alphabetically look the same to foreigners but they are totally different languages

Why are you interested in how I'm connected?

Sorry for the late response just got internet access today. Yes they do. Actually a lot but not out loud in smaller groups with friends family coworkers etc. Why? Because regime Goonies (we call them عرزشی) are everywhere listening and if they think you are an issue enough you're done for and probably get a long prison sentence or the worst get hanged for being an Israeli spy!

Sorry for late response just got internet access. Average Iranian Absolutely despises this government and whatever they stand for. These people committed attriosities beyond believe over the years... nobody likes them only a small percentage of the population who benefit financially from them like these people. The US? We are angry but not for the reasons you think we were expecting the US to hit these people hard with a ground attack not just air strikes giving us a chance to fight when eventually the regime falls into chaos...

No much, providences do not have any kind of power here. they follow the orders and laws from capital on all matters

Daily life is mostly miserable here right now. Can you imagine triple digit inflation?

It's a reality here for years now for us

most government systems and programs are collapsing

People are just hoping that one day this brutal dictatorship gonna collapse and everything will finally end

They murder whoever speaks up against them in a whim

We don't have guns how can we fight these people on our own? That's why we look to outside powers to help...

We have no choice

Sorry for the response just got internet access today. For lunch today I ate Persian lentil rice for lunch and afew boiled eggs for dinner

Health care is little complicated here. most people who work in government owned or semi private companies offices agency etc have a insurance attached to their job but the quality of that insurance varies widely depending on how well of that company or office etc is. Privately working people mostly pay for their own insurance

We made and run a small social media platform with our friends on a rented VPS in datacenter. Kinda a small Twitter if you will talking about stuff. Sign up is very control to keep the outsiders and regime Goonies out

Say khuda hafez(خداحافظ) essentially mean bye for now

What are towers of silence? Genuinely curious never heard about them

I would say like mean middle eastern nations we eat a tone of rice. It is a major ingredient of almost all our meals

Sorry what's devas/asuras?

I just got internet access today sorry for late response. Thanks we all hope we can get rid of these lunatic mullahs one day...

Sorry for late response just got internet access today. I would say I'm pretty typical. Average wages average job average education. I have a bachelor's degree. I'm a mechanical engineer and This is pretty typical most Iranian have higher education here. I work as an inspector for CNG fueled cars. Yes many cars here can run on dual fuel both gas and CNG. Natural gas is pretty cheap here so that's the logic

We just want an equal chance to fight this brutal murderous corrupt regime. Ofcourse I don't want to see the possibility of my country in chaos and ruin but what other choice do we have? Believe it or not with these people in power we are already heading that way in an slow and painful pace...

I believe my country is quite different to Iraq and Afghanistan. With all the respect to those people they don't have a national identity like we do. They are tribal people and loyal to their respective tribes and ethnicities. We are not like that if you ask an Iranian were they're loyalty to they don't say kord people or Arab people etc. They would say I'm Iranian and love my country and it's rich history. That's why we won't fall into chaos like them.

Also we have a revolution leader (our former crown prince Reza Pahlavi ) and a comprehensive plan and cabinet members for the country when the regime eventually falls. You can search for it. It is called project Phoenix

Peaceful protest? They see you on the street how many people be there. you and all of them instantly get shot that simple and then they call you Israeli spy!. They don't even give the bodies of the deceased to their family without a ransom and a formal declaration that their child was indeed an spy. Can you believe this? Like I'm describing an dystopian nightmarish movie to you right? Can you see the anger and resentment in my words...

You don't a shred of the atrocities these people commit here on daily basis

They murdered 40+ thousand people in 2 nights... They have no legitimacy.

The bombing you are referring to was a specific faculty in that university which was working on military research and equipment also the universities here are closed for months now because they in their infinite wisdom are so afraid of the angry students uprising that they closed them so no one was there to get hurt

We asked US for help we needed it we could not fight these people with bare hands and untrained citizens we are not soldiers. What could we do? We protest and they shoot to kill every single person on the street...
