Is your dad named Majid? I used to work with an Iranian born civil engineer named Majid in Baton Rouge. He was very secular.

Fun facts

Tehran used the same red double decker buses you see in London. At least up to the eighties

To drain snow runoff the sides of the roads were open concrete drains called jubes

People washed their rugs and placed them in the roads to be driven over and squeeze water out

You poured your hot tea in a saucer and placed the sugar cube behind the lower lips

The largest overseas high school was Tehran American School

The only opinion I mentioned is that OP's expertise is based on his having been a toddler in Iran.

I think there is much more to it than that. He is Iranian; raised by Iranians who probably took a keen interest in their former country and had friends and relatives living there. If he was intelligent, and interested, he is probably an expert on Iran.

Is it true it is an Iranian plan to use the Kardashians to de-moralize American society?

Not going through 4 pages to see if this has been brought up, but what do you think about the American government's "relationship" with Israel? What do you think of Israel in general?

These are not "gotcha" questions, I'm genuinely curious whichever way your answers go.

What's the difference between Persian and Iranian?
I know Iranian may include Turkish, Azerbaijan, and Kurdish people.

2) Let's say the "Good Guys" succeed, and I hope they do. Does Iran have an alternative other than to turn to the Shah? I would be okay with him being a "bridge" until a representative government could be established, but I hope the people eventually have a right to choose their leaders.
Yes, free and fair democratic elections overseen by the United States of America
