The agreement cemented “Pax Iranica in the Middle East” and represented “Trump’s most consequential foreign policy mistake,” while reflecting “Iran’s priorities, not the United States’,” experts variously said.

Probably everyone but me knows this encyclopedia but if not: If one is reading anything Iran-related these articles come in handy for context, historical chronology of places, etc.

El talixi és una llengua irànica del nord-oest propera al tati parlada per unes 764.400 persones.

Es diferencia d'altres llengües iràniques en el sistema verbal. En la sintaxi utilitza la construcció ergativa com el tati en els verbs transitius al passat, construïda sobre l'arrel del passat.

Encyclopedia Iranica is a treasure, and I love this article. If you're aware of the Greco-Persian wars, it's really fascinating to ready why we don't have the Persian side and a general understanding of what later Persians knew about Persian history
Or jumping much later, we don't know what the actual viewpoint of Xerxes; we have only the Greek take, some inscriptions and then the later somewhat mythological and sparse Zoroastrian memory post-Islamic conquest which leaves him out!
