 The Iranian: Letters
Iranians seem to place an important emphasis on professional, religious, and academic titles as they serve as social identifiers used to distinguish among people.
What I find quite interesting is that the great majority of Iranians chose the industrialized countries as their final destination because of their prosperity and higher standards of living.
Then there are those Iranians that are actually graduates in physics or commerce and once they get a job in a decent company start calling themselves "Mohandes" even if their work has nothing to do with engineering.

 United States Policy Toward Iran: Can Sanctions Work
If the sanctions are of greater salience for the actor, we shift that actor’s issue position by an amount equivalent to the difference in the salience of the sanctions and the issue multiplied by the difference in the issue position of the sanctioner and the actor’s original issue position.
Moreover, nearly all other actors in the model struggle to anticipate what the public, in the unlikely event that it becomes engaged, might think, and therefore their inclusion in the present analysis is critical.
From the perspective of an actor who would like to see the sanctions relaxed, the strategy is to find an additional issue that would facilitate the establishment of a winning coalition around an outcome that is to the left of the current sanctions policy (i.e., one that is at a point less than 70).

 Bad Jens - Performance in Everyday Life and the Rediscovery of the "Self" in Iranian Weblogs
In Iranian society, visibility in public spaces entails individuals putting their selves on display before the judgment of traditional society and risking the loss of social security.
In fact, many Iranians believe that it is the right of men to talk about their intimate experiences up to a certain point, but view such revelations by women as vulgar.
For most Iranian webloggers, the weblog is a mirror that reflects their inner realities - the way they really are (or think they are) or want to be, not the way they learned to be in traditional society.

The village of Ras al-Ein, which is situated in the Bekaa Valley of Lebanon, falls under the overlapping control of the Syrian Army, the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps, and the Shiite terrorist group Hezbollah, or Party of God.
The village is seedy and brown, and is decorated with posters of martyrs and potentates—Ayatollah Khomeini is especially popular—and with billboards that celebrate bloodshed and sacrifice.
Hezbollah and its Iranian sponsors are considered by the governments of Israel, the United States, and Argentina to be responsible for the single deadliest anti-Semitic attack since the end of the Second World War: the suicide truck-bombing of the Jewish community center in Buenos Aires, in 1994, which left more than a hundred people dead.

In 1982 the Iranian revolution under the Ayatollah Khomeini was exported to Lebanon, where the Islamic Resistance, a precursor of Hezbollah (Party of God), launched a series of suicide attacks against U.S., French and Israeli targets.

 The Iranian: Letters
I guess the author of the article on Fardin was right in pointing out that, "to most Iranian intellectuals [Fardin] remained an over-rated actor who represented a commercial cinema that was an embarrassment to our national identity." Though I am not sure if the person complaining about the article is in fact an intellectual!
In fact Belmondo's entire career is indebted to Goddard.Yet our local intellectuals (with a few exceptions) failed to use popular actors to convey more complex messages.
Fardin worked with three distinguished Iranian filmmakers :with the late Jalal Moghadam in "Raaz-e derakht-e senjed", with the late Ali Hatami in "Baabaa Shamal" and with Masoud Kimiaie in "Ghazal".
