Comments: Saeed and I thought I came up with "Ghormeh Sabzi" mentality. 😀
Comments: Trump seriously considering Iran's offer of indirect nuclear talks![[image]](https://images.axios.com/8FowMa9o3LDskwuk4OH7DFv_b0s=/0x0:1920x1080/1920x1080/2025/04/02/1743563726204.jpg?w=1200)
Comments: دریا سالار کیوان حکیم زاد
Comments: One of my closest bodies, now living in northern CA sent me a picture he took with Gheleich and Hassan Habibi about a yar ago. First Gheleich was so fragile and old, even almost 2 years ago. Hassan Habibi, who is few years older than Gheleich still looked quite sharp.
Comments: Alex Vatankhah is the son of former Perspolis (Taj, Rah Ahan, Shahin), Büyük Vatankhah, nephew of Perspolis and TM legend Reza Vatankhah.
Comments: Yup. If you were pro Russia or China you were intellectual. Roshanfekr. Golsorkhi and Jazani were roshanfekr whereas Hoveida, farokhroo parsa, Nahavandi, khalaatbari who did so much for their country were not. Bazargan was also so called roshanfekr, دنبال کون خمینی افتاد Ghelich not doing well health wise.
Comments: Goaldoost. Extended one
Comments: Kamkar: I agree 100% with your charcterization of so called "iranian intellectuals" during shah time. First of all, almost all of them now be Ghohkhory oftand. This is just demonstrating how shallow they were. As it appears, the communist propaganda machine was working well everywhere, and these people fell to their agenda. And it also shows how much Iran would have been much worse off, if Mossadagh would have succeeded, in exact opposite to what some of existing opposition groups claim.

Comments: politically speaking 60's and 70's were weird times worldwide. There were leftist movement all over the world. All Latin American countries were facing the communist ideology and that alone was the reason for many dictators like Pinochet coming to power. Iran was a much more volatile situation having hundreds of miles in common border with the Soviets. The USSR like today's Russia was never a reliable friend or even a natural country to us. They have screwed us more than any other nation. And all those so called intellectual leftist in Iran were just so stupid that they couldn't see the path of progress that Iran was taking at the time. I'm not a big fan of monarchy but I believe Shah was more to the left than those idiots. He had many social programs. sazeman-e shir-o-khorshid, Free education all the way to university, feeding school children at and many other things. My younger brother and sisters would come home with Oranges, Pistachio, and cookies from school. 90% of Iranians today can not afford buying pistachio for their Norooz sofreh.
Comments: I do not want to bad mouth Parviz Gheleich, since he was a great player. Hi father was a worker working in a factory during Mossadegh time and a tudeh party member. Tudeh party was like a poisson for Iran. Almost every educated person in Iran were either a member or supported of the party. How can a popular party be so wrong and an agent of an enemy country? And yet, they had an intellectual twist to it.
Comments: Yes Saeed. I recall his political POV now. Ghelich's head always smelled like Ghormeh Sabzi. You could tell that from his body language when RP was handing out trophies to the players.
Comments: Yes, that is Mostafa Arab and now Dr Arab, and still alive, and well. When he played football, he worked in Iran air force as a surgent. He obtained his Ph.D after moving to US. He was one of the figures openly advocating for Shah when it was not popular. Clearly showing, the rest of people including myself did not know sheet about politics. Most footballers were not politically informed back then. Parviz Gheleich was a leftie.
Comments: Is the guy to the left Mostafa Arab? Is he still alive?
