  • Khomeinism, the Islamic Revolution and Anti Americanism
    Khomeinism, the Islamic Revolution and Anti Americanism Mohammad Rezaie Yazdi A thesis submitted to the University of Birmingham For the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY School of Political Science and International Studies University of Birmingham March 2016 University of Birmingham Research Archive e-theses repository This unpublished thesis/dissertation is copyright of the author and/or third parties.

Abstract The 1979 Islamic Revolution of Iran was based and formed upon the concept of Khomeinism, the religious, political, and social ideas of Ayatullah Ruhollah Khomeini. While the Iranian revolution was carried out with the slogans of independence, freedom, and Islamic Republic, Khomeini's framework gave it a specific impetus for the unity of people, religious culture, and leadership. Khomeinism was not just an effort, on a religious basis, to alter a national system. It included and was dependent upon the projection of a clash beyond a “national” struggle, including was a clash of ideology with that associated with the United States. Analysing the Iran-US relationship over the past century and Khomeini’s interpretation of it, this thesis attempts to show how the Ayatullah projected "America" versus Iranian national freedom and religious pride.

Antiquity and richness of its culture and civilization, the variety of natural and geographical attractions, four - season climate, diverse cultural sites in addition to different tribes with different and fascinating traditions and customs have made Iran as a treasury of tangible and intangible heritage.

Some cities have summer weather in winter, or have spring or autumn weather; at the same time in summer you might find some regions covered with snow, icicles or experiencing rain and breeze of spring. Iran is the land of history and culture, not only because of its Pasargad and Persepolis, Chogha Zanbil, Naqsh-e Jahan Square, Yazd and Shiraz, Khuzestan and Isfahan, and its tangible heritage inscribed in the UNESCO World Heritage List; indeed its millennial civilization and thousands historical and archeological monuments and sites demonstrate variety and value of religious and spiritual heritage, rituals, intact traditions of this country as a sign of authenticity and splendor.

  • Tehran Metro
    © 2019 Dr. M. Montazeri. All Rights Reserved. TEHRAN METRO HISTORY Tehran, as the capital of Islamic Republic of Iran, is the first Iranian city in terms of economic, cultural and social as well as political centralization. This eight- million people city that its population with satellite towns reaches to twelve million inhabitants faces the traffic crisis and its consequences such as fuel consumption, noise pollution, wasting time and accidents. Undoubtedly, construction of an efficient and high-capacity transportation system will be the main solution to overcoming this crisis. Today, urban rail transportation has become increasingly apparent in its role as a massive, safe, fast, inexpensive and convenient public transport network to reduce vehicle congestion, environment pollution, fuel consumption and promoting the quality of social life. In the first comprehensive urban plan conducted in 1958, a railway transportation discussion was observed for the city of Tehran. In 1971, the study of urban transport situation was assigned to Sufreto French Company by the municipality of Tehran. This institute presented a comprehensive report titled “Tehran Transportation & Traffic Plan” based on information, collected statistics and related forecasts for the development and growth of Tehran in 1974. A "Metro-Street" system was proposed in this comprehensive plan, based on the construction of seven subway lines with the length of 147 km, completed by developing an above-ground network toward suburb, a full bus network as a complementary for metro, a number of Park&Ride facilities around the metro stations and finally a highway belt network. Due to this, a legal bill regarding the establishment of urban and suburban railway company was submitted to the parliament by the government in April 1975, which was approved by the National Assembly and the Senate, in which the municipality of Tehran was authorized to establish a company called Tehran Urban & Suburban Railway Co.

  • 334 Climbing and Ski-Ing in the Elburz Range, North Persia
    334 Climbing and Ski-ing in the Elburz Range, North Persia . • CLIMBING AND SKI-ING IN THE ELBURZ RANGE, NORTH PERSIA, 1931- 2. HE night before leaving for Persia I spent at that well-known mountaineering rendezvous the ' Trois Couronnes et Postes,' at Brigue. I was welcomed by General Bruce as I took my place in the dining-room and was soon absorbing knowledge from the ex-presidential fount. Among other things I was taught to write my name in Arabic script, straightly charged not to return from Persia until I had climbed Demavend, and was told two anecdotes illustrative of certain facets of the Persian character. It is highly regrettable that the nature of the stories prevents thejr presentation to a wider public in these pages. Armed with this varied information I arrived in Tehran in Sep­ tember 1931. It was too late in the season to think of Demavend, but the autumn was unusually fine and before the snows descended we were able to make an attempt on Tochal, the culminating point of the 13,000 ft. range that rises some 10 miles to the north of .Tehran. (The city lies, I should add, at a height of about 4000 ft.) There are no mountaineering difficulties on this peak, which indeed resembles the average English 'Fell' on a much larger scale, but, owing to circumstances into which I need not enter here, we were unable to follow the usual direct route, and the long detour we were compelled to make rendered success problematical. We were all grossly out of training and, in fact, gave up at about 10,000 ft., having climbed an outlying rock peak to satisfy honour.
