Whom should we trust about Iran’s News?

1. Do not use pseudo-Iranians as representatives of Iranians!

More or less a significant number of Iranian consulars, representatives, and specialists of Iran in human rights organizations either not lived in Iran for the past three decades or if they did, they had an artificial life inside small areas of the north of Tehran which is surrounded by big walls which inside them you will find places more affluent than Zurich. They got these positions mostly due to their highly accurate accents and linguistic capabilities in European languages which hardly does a middle-class Iranian achieve. Although many of them can speak Persian fluently, however, even their Persian is not standard enough and either contains lots of minor errors or shows mostly the spoken language of Northern Tehran (rich area), or shows lots of calque from European languages, which are meaningless for real native speakers. Even if they want to be honest with you, they can not provide you with a clear picture of Iran.

2. Do not trust paid or ideologic reporters of mainstream media!

Other specialists of human rights of Iran are journalists who are either paid by the Islamic regime of Iran to not cover Iran’s horrible human rights condition, or they are ideologically fanatic journalists who prefer to romantically introduce the monstrous killing machine that has lots of common values with radical anti-imperialists of Europe, like fighting with the USA, GB, and Israel, romantic interpretation of radical Islam and antinationalism. This group never covers torturing, raping, and hanging of a monarchist inside Iran but they definitely cover news which is about misbehaving to a left thinker inside Iran.

3. So sorry to say this but even do not trust Academia!

With respect to those scholars who consider human rights and morality over keeping their own carrier and ideological preference, the third group is specialists in Islamic studies, Iranian studies, and oriental studies that for providing enough research materials and earning permissions for conducting research inside Iran always provide media with an unreal fake picture of Iran, even the best of them looks at Iran and Iranians as research objects so their interpretations always come from a romantic and objectified point of view.
