Did the ancestors of the people in your country live in another region?

And they divided into three branches: Indian, Iranian, and European. Of course, certain peoples in Europe—such as the Basques, Finns, Estonians, and Hungarians—are not included in this group.

What is the funniest photo of your leader/president, and what is it from?

Khamenei is reciting the funeral prayer for one of his commanders (I don't recall exactly which one). The reason for his gaze is the fear of small Israeli drones, as there are hidden Israeli drone depots in Tehran.
