These designs are so neat, I wish modern society would embrace the wisdom in them. Not applicable everywhere, but the modern desire to conquer the landscape instead of working with it seems like a core hubris that our modernity has imposed on our everyday life design.by edmundsauto

About the qanats: Unfortunately there has been a lot of short sighted planning with respect to water resources: https://e360.yale.edu/features/iran-water-drought-dams-qanat...by djoldman

It's not really an Iranian design. It was developed in Germany https://en.defence-ua.com/news/first_shahed_136_prototype_wa...by tim333

I stopped at "vile imperious war" I don't know how anyone can judge the moral of this war, bombing a country and civilian is certainly "bad" but doing nothing is while a regime has been oppresing the population for decade can be seen as morally "bad"by temphaaa

I'd take a vile imperialist over a murderous, suppressing, rights abusing, child killing, raping evil despot "Supreme Leader" of Iran any day.Not justifying his death by Israelis, but the Persians I know are dancing on his evil grave.

Yes. The country is led by extremists akin to the Taliban. They don’t represent the rest of Iran which suffers because they have little freedom to decide their future and they live in increasing poverty because of the mismanagement of the government that uses their resources to fund terrorism. It’s sad because there’s still a highly educated populace that comes from a rich history of art and engineering. The government slaughter tens of thousands of civilians merely for protesting because conditions got so miserable they risked walking into a firing squad. I’m in favor of anything that reduces the population of their parasitic government or increasing the chances of dislodging it. They have a degenerate anti-women, anti-freedom and anti-Jew/American culture that the earth would be better off without.by steve-atx-7600
