موسم خانه تکانی اینجاست.
وقت آن آمده تا
گرد و خاکستر این کومه به صحرا ببرم.

MINORITIES
The oppression of religious minorities, especially the Baha'i faith, is not incidental

Am I surprised by US media’s behavior? Not at all! However this time, it was Robert Gates, United Stated Secretary of Defence that made the news. At his speech at American Academy of Diplomacy he urged more nongovernmental contact between Iran and the US that might eventually open a pathway to more substantive dialogue between the governments
