Sunday Globe Special: Iranian Beef

Smells rotten to me. 

I suppose we should consider the source and preparer

"Iran’s latest burger shops serve high-quality US fare" by Jason Rezaian |  Washington Post, January 12, 2014

TEHRAN — It could be an old-time American diner, except that its hamburger prices reflect a wealthier target market here….

Whatever then, you piece of stinking Zionist stain known as an Amerikan jewspaper.

The clientele includes young women clutching designer purses, arriving with their dates in European luxury cars.

Greasy burger joints have been part of Tehran’s fast-food landscape for decades, even in the years just after the 1979 Islamic revolution, when any symbol of US culture was denounced as an example of ‘‘Westoxification.’’

Those eateries were mostly in downtown working-class areas, serving laborers in need of a blast of calories or students watching their budgets.

Now, though, high-end burger restaurants are suddenly popping up across the city, making the gut-busting American institution — and the quest for the best burger — the latest trend in Tehran dining.

Then what is with all the Zionist war promotion via my government and media? 

Let's just have a burger and talk things out (hope it's not horse meat or pink slime).

Facebook pages dedicated to local hamburger outlets debate their merits, comparing them to McDonald’s, In-N-Out, Burger King, and other US chains. That fascination with brands has resulted in such blatant rip-offs as McAli’s, Superstar — similar in appearance to Carl’s Jr. — and even a place calling itself Five Guys.

After a string of restaurants catering to Tehran’s rich opened and closed in recent years, observers of the capital’s culinary scene say the rise of the quality burger is not surprising, especially given Iranians’ love of grilled meat….

David Yaghoobi, until recently creative director at a top Iranian ad agency and now based in London, noted that the burger, while well-known here, is still somewhat exotic, boosting its appeal.

‘‘In Iran, most things foreign are considered high-end, and as a burger is considered foreign, maybe there is some of that, too,’’ he said.

It is no coincidence, then, that most of the new hamburger restaurants are in the affluent neighborhoods of northern Tehran, in the foothills of the snowcapped Alborz Mountains….

‘‘Our concept is purely American,’’ said Arash Farhadpour-Shirazi, co-owner of Garage Grill. ‘‘Burgers and cars.’’ 

I hope no Israeli or AmeriKan bombs hit it.

The young male servers at Garage Grill wear T-shirts from a classic-car rally that the restaurant sponsored last year. A neon Route 66 sign hangs in the front door above the back half of a classic Austin Mini. The car’s front half and the front of an orange BMW 2002 double as the restaurant’s grills.

‘‘It’s a short escape into a different environment,’’ Farhadpour-Shirazi said. ‘‘Iranians love the American style. The grass is greener in the US.’’

Oh, wow! You guys have been buying the government brochure and jewsmedia propaganda. Our economy is shit! Only the wealthy elite are benefiting. The grass is brown and burnt over here. 

And now we have to go kill the people that loves us for the insulting, shit-in-our-faces supremacist Jewish state of apartheid Ashkenazis.

The most popular of Tehran’s burger joints, Burgerland, was opened by the Iranian underground band Barobax.

In 2010, Barobax produced the biggest domestic music hit in recent memory, ‘‘Soosan Khanoom.’’ Group members say they started Burgerland because there is more money in a food business than in music.

"Nurses, family bond online as Iranian dies in US" by Ed White |  Associated Press, January 02, 2014

A nurse in a Michigan hospital kissed the patient’s forehead. More than 6,000 miles away, Sanaz Nezami’s family in Iran watched the simple act over a laptop and wept.

Nezami, a vibrant 27-year-old woman who could speak three languages, wanted to pursue an advanced degree in engineering at Michigan Technological University. Instead, she was brain dead just a few weeks after unpacking her bags in a remote area of the United States, a victim of a fatal beating by her husband, according to police.

Technology allowed family in Iran to watch her final hours and build an emotional bond with nurses whose compassion for a stranger from an unfamiliar culture gave great comfort to shocked, grieving relatives a world away.

Which in truth goes to show you that even if Zionist filth controls governments and institutions of society, it can not control the people themselves. We are good people here, and f*** Israel!

The family’s faith in the staff led to consent for an extraordinary donation: Nezami’s heart, lungs, and other life-saving organs were transplanted to seven people in the United States, a remarkable gift that occurs in less than 1 percent of all cases.

I should have known the organ-harvesting Jewish interests would be interested in this.

‘‘We wanted God to perform a miracle and bring Sanaz back to life,’’ her sister, Sara Nezami, said in a phone interview from Tehran. ‘‘But this is a miracle. Sanaz gave her life in order to give life.’’

I'm not going to say anything to diminish the good feelings of the family. If they are happy, I'm happy.

A nurse who took care of Sanaz Nezami said her brief stay, especially the high-tech way of communicating with family, was ‘‘eye-opening’’ for staff at the hospital.

‘‘The family was willing to trust us to know she wasn’t coming back,’’ Kim Grutt said.

In August, Nezami married Nima Nassiri in Turkey and lived with him temporarily in the Los Angeles area. Her sister said they met over the Internet.

Nezami, a native of Tehran, had a bachelor’s degree in engineering and a master’s in French translation. She wanted a doctoral degree in environmental engineering and settled on Michigan Tech in Houghton, about 550 miles northwest of Detroit.

The newlyweds drove from California and found a rental home in November.

Nezami planned to take her first classes after the holidays. Meanwhile, she stayed in touch with family through e-mail, text message, and video. On Dec. 7, she asked her sister to proofread some English-to-Persian translation she was doing on the side.

‘‘I was shocked,’’ Sara Nezami said. ‘‘Sanaz was a very precise girl, but she omitted some lines. I asked, ‘Are you OK?’ She told me there was no problem.’’

The next day Sanaz Nezami was rushed to a hospital with head injuries and was transferred to Marquette General.

Police believe she was assaulted by her husband, who has been charged with second-degree murder. His lawyer declined to comment.

After about 24 hours, the hospital reached relatives in Iran. Immediate travel to the United States was impractical due to visa requirements, so a laptop was set up so the family could see Nezami and talk to nurses and doctors.

Government could have been waived if they wanted.

Well, I guess you can Kish off what happened to the CIA shit. 

Time for a British straw man:

"British lawmakers visit Iran ahead of talks" by Nasser Karimi |  Associated Press, January 08, 2014

TEHRAN — A British Parliament delegation arrived in Tehran on Tuesday on the first visit by UK lawmakers to Iran in years, as the two countries work to improve relations ahead of continued talks on the country’s disputed nuclear program.

The four-member delegation was headed by Jack Straw, a former foreign secretary who last visited Iran in 2003 as Britain’s top diplomat, Iran’s news agency IRNA reported.

He was one of the chief ministers in Tony Bliar's war cabinet and helped lead the push to war based on the dodgy dossier and unholy lies.

The semiofficial ISNA news agency reported that Straw told his Iranian counterparts he is ‘‘optimistic’’ that a November deal between Iran and world powers over the nuclear program will be realized. He also met Iran’s foreign minister, Mohammad Javad Zarif.

Last November, Iran agreed to cap its nuclear enrichment program in return for the easing of some sanctions by the West. Both sides have held three rounds of expert-level talks about how to implement the interim deal.

European Union and Iranian officials will meet again this week to try to finalize details on the implementation.

EU negotiator Helga Schmid will hold talks in Geneva with Iran’s deputy foreign, minister Abbasa Araghchi.

Given the Iran deal and the burgeoning BDS movement, it looks as if the rest of the world is sick of that shit stain on the planet known as Israel.

"Iran says issues resolved on completing nuclear accord; Deal still requires approval of US, other countries" by Rick Gladstone |  New York Times, January 11, 2014

Iran said Friday that talks in Geneva with the group of six world powers had resolved all outstanding issues on how to carry out an agreement reached in November that would temporarily halt some of Iran’s nuclear activities in exchange for billions of dollars in sanctions relief.

Iran’s state television quoted Abbas Araghchi, the deputy foreign minister and deputy nuclear negotiator, as saying that the agreement would now need final approval from all the governments: Iran and the P5-plus-1 countries — Britain, China, France, Russia, and the United States, which are the five permanent members of the UN Security Council, plus Germany….

Who will the Israelis get to torpedo the plan, huh?

A spokesman for the P5-plus-1 side of the talks, represented by Helga Schmid, deputy to the lead negotiator, Catherine Ashton, the European Union’s top foreign policy official, issued an e-mailed statement that did not go quite as far as Iran’s….

The two-day round of talks in Geneva was held against a backdrop of rising pressure to implement the agreement reached nearly two months ago….
