Javan-Pahlavan, Amir Hossein Zare, my dear and proud fellow townsman!

Over these past few days, I watched every single one of your battles on the wrestling mat with indescribable enthusiasm, anxiety, and pride. With each victory of yours, I took pride in you, and today, when you stood at the summit of world wrestling, I felt pride from the bottom of my heart.

Farhad came in a hurry and said: "Kids, be more careful. Just now Sheikh... when he was leaving the mosque, he was saying to Jabbar, the mosque servant: 'Jabbar, be careful these kids don't drop leaflets in the mosque. If there are leaflets in the mosque, first they will pluck out your nails one by one, and then they will pluck out my beard.'"

Kourosh Ahmadi: The best path for both sides is diplomacy.

If they are to strike Iran's infrastructure, perhaps the officials of the Islamic Republic will not set any limits for themselves.

Kourosh Ahmadi: If a third war is to be imposed, the targets may be energy infrastructure; to force Iran's political system to retreat!

An important deterrence for Iran is the threat of attacking the infrastructure of neighboring countries.

Mohammad Sarafraz: As long as infiltration exists, we cannot carry out fundamental reforms in the country.

Infiltration has had so much power that people who are useful anywhere do not get placed there, and those who are useless come to power.

A conversation with Kazem Kardavani.

Mohammad Sarafraz: That the government of Iran be entrusted to the Shah's son is not at all possible.

That individual who is now sitting in America and has been away from Iran's affairs for 50 years, therefore has no solution for the country.

Mohammad Sarafraz: Last year the country was in special conditions; the price of currency and gold increased in a way that had no precedent.

Those slogans in Dey were from a limited group; this collection is the result of accumulated dissatisfaction.

Mohammad Sarafraz: That we should take charge of all matters related to the internet and cyberspace inside the country is not at all possible.

A current that has great influence in the parliament and outside the parliament was seeking to advance everything with prohibition and restriction; this is a policy that has continued!

Mohammad Sarafraz: They spend exorbitant costs and get very little result!

In 2016, many of the statistics they used to publish with great fanfare, gradually they classified the statistics as confidential!

Mohammad Sarafraz: Corruption has increased; there is ambiguity or overlap in the responsibilities of individuals; there is a supervisory vacuum for part of the governing institutions.

Now the president cannot claim that "I am the enforcer of the constitution"; especially during the war, this structure has undergone changes.

Mohammad Sarafraz: Many quotes are attributed to him (the third Leader); for a seven-hour meeting, many matters must have been discussed, but nothing has been quoted, and they emphasize more on marginal issues.

In such conditions, everything is possible.

Mohammad Sarafraz: "Strategic depth" was not realized.

Not only has the danger of war not been eliminated, but it is even possible that the war could expand toward the land borders.

What is the allusion to "the Conquest of Mecca"? Mohammad Sarafraz, member of the Supreme Council of Cyberspace, answers!

A conversation with Mohammad Sarafraz, former head of the Islamic Republic of Iran Broadcasting (IRIB) and member of the Supreme Council of Cyberspace.

Mohammad Sarafraz: Power has in a way become distributed and overlapping.

What the majority of society do not accept and do not trust will not reach a conclusion.

Hojjati spoke about the decline of attention to agriculture in the Fourth Plan; Faraji-Dana called for the return of the Friday prayer venue to the University of Tehran; Amrollahi expressed concern about the nuclear agreement, and insecurity in Iraq has continued; Iran's promise of 300 million dollars in aid to Iraq caused a controversy in the Sixth Majlis. They have said that while Iran is owed 100 billion dollars by Iraq, why is such a promise being made...

Kourosh Ahmadi: The deployment of ground forces is, with near certainty, not on America's agenda.

At this juncture, we are facing the threat of war.

Kourosh Ahmadi: In the past, we had never seen a US president to this extent confront the system and international law.

Over the past 300 years, we have witnessed the honoring and development of international law.

Kourosh Ahmadi: Another full-scale war is possible but at the same time avoidable.

The only scenario ahead is not war; one scenario is diplomacy.
