#آگاهی Our national revolution and the game of curling. I've kept this short so it's easy to read. Curling, a popular Winter Olympics sport, is a team game that demands precision. A player sends a special stone down a lane of ice with just the right speed and aim. Along the way, teammates sweep the ice to shape its path and, when it begins to drift, help guide it back on course. Every effort is aimed at getting the stone to its destination. But here is the important part: the stone must travel at the right speed to stop at the target. Too slowly, and it falls short. Too fast, and it sails past. To me, our revolution is that stone. It is moving at its own pace. It must go neither faster nor slower. You and I are the team sweeping the path ahead, keeping it clear so the revolution can reach its destination. The revolution cannot stay on course by itself, and none of us can do it alone. Together, let us bring this precious stone home. Long live Iran. #جاویدشاه
