Abbas Rostamian


Born 1949 in Isfahan into a well to do family, his father a jeweler supported his art and even profited from his sons talent in designing new pieces for his work. As time went by, he became quite well known in Isfahan, for his distinctive fine style in combining the traditional miniature with his personal touch.

In 1967, he went to Tehran and joined the Faculty of fine arts at the Tehran University where he mastered "Visual Arts". He then went on to Europe and stayed in different cities like Paris, Rome and Venice where he not only introduced his work but absorbed much of the collected art in these places.His loyalty to Iranian art brought him back to Iran and in 1978 became a professor at the University of Isfahan.His studies and research in Iranian traditional art and architecture are considered phenomenal.

Underneath I have embedded some of his work for you to get an idea..

The Sanctions

Mr. M. Sahimi wrote "When she was running for president in 2008, Hillary Rodham Clinton threatened to obliterate Iran if it attacked Israel. Her opponent, Barack Obama, responded that Clinton’s threat was "too much like Bush" Four years later Iran has not attacked Israel (and will not do so, unless attacked by Israel first), but President Obama is actually carrying out the threat that his current secretary of state made in 2008, waging an undeclared war on Iran and Iranians. The U.S. and Israel have launched cyber attacks, assassinated Iranian nuclear scientists , and supported armed ethnic groups that carry out terrorist operations inside Iran, killing innocent people. In addition, Israel has been active in the  Kurdistan region of Iraq and in the Republic of Azerbaijan , encouraging and supporting small separatist movements among Iranian ethnic groups, such as the Kurds and Azeris. But the most devastating part of the undeclared war on Iran is the tough econ

Chaldoran 1514 AD

Image
It was late summer in the year 1514, and Iran had a new dynasty in power(The Safavid 1501-1722). The distinctive difference here was the fact that the Safavids were the first "Shia" dynasty that used all methods in the book to convert all Iranians into a homogeneous religion, since the "Iranshahr" factor (which was the name that Iranians used for their country) did not seem enough to mobilize a sense of national unity to refute new national threats, mainly the Afghans and the Turks. The Safavid used issues like the marriage of "BiBi-Shahrbanu" (sister of the last Sassanid King) with "Imam Hussain" and the fact that the fourth Shia "Imam Zein-Ol-Abedin" had not only prophet blood, but also Iranian Royal blood, which stimulated nationalistic feelings of even the most fanatic Sunni Iranians to convert. Furthermore the most convincing argument, was the sword and the famous sentence attributed to the founder of this dynasty was "Either

Wikihoax on Iran

Image
Here are some of the supposed leaks on Iran, mixed with some true ones concerning other countries and their heads of states or controversial ministers (of course harmless ones), making it a bit problematic and that much harder for consumers of such information to "not" believe. Always remember,the most talked about issue amongst all heads of states without exception is and has been the mother of all conflicts (namely the Israeli & Palestinian conflict). Yet there is not a single word issued from anywhere or anyone, not even sworn enemies of one or the other states.... If that did not give you a reason to doubt then nothing else shall. When something smells like a fish, swims like a fish, then it must be a fish.This Wikileaks business has been the target of an article by this site (Here) So needless to emphasize anymore about disbelieving the authenticity of the content of wikileaks concerning Iran. Nonetheless, here are the Iran related ones. US Embassy Ottawa (2008) .. T
