#آگاهی Important 🚨 The art of balancing stones and the victory of Iran's national revolution Look closely at this photograph and stay with me for a few lines. I think its lesson matters both in life and in our national revolution. At first glance you might think the image is fake or AI-generated. It isn't. Search for 'the art of stone balancing' and you will find many examples. The stones are smooth and worn, like river stones, with curved surfaces. Look at any one of them and you might think it could never be stacked on the others. Yet the photograph, and countless other images and videos, show what patient attention and coordination can do. This remarkable art has a long history in Japan. By finding each object's center of gravity, taking its weight into account, and working with great concentration and skill, an artist can bring unlikely shapes into balance. It can seem as improbable as balancing a piano on a single support. The people and events in our lives have their own shapes and qualities. With care and respect, and I repeat, respect for another person's character, something extraordinary can take shape. When you accept friends as they are and respect their beliefs and thoughts, you can find the point where you hold each other steady. Friendship becomes a deeper bond. Together you make something that seems to defy the ordinary rules. My fellow Iranian, my dear friend, a part of me: each of us is a smooth stone, sometimes a fragile one. The years and the Islamic Republic's oppression have worn us down until some of us struggle to stand on our own. But believe me: if we accept one another and respect our differences, we can find the center of balance for our revolution and achieve something extraordinary together. To me that center is clear: Reza Shah II, a point around which a united Iran can gather. Our solidarity can give him the strength to challenge the rule of oppression. So let us look beyond our individual shapes. Let us use the art of unity to think of Iran, give strength to our king, and do something remarkable. I should add that we are strong stones, grounded in our Iranian culture. In my view, no lasting unity can be built with those who reject Iran and the Pahlavis; they are like poisonous mushrooms, frogs, or bananas that change shape at the slightest pressure. Long live Iran. #جاويدشاه‌ #KingRezaPahlavi
