They have no idea...

Editor's note: ...what they are getting involved with. These are Persians strapped and yolked to the profanity of Islam. If you strip away Islam, there's a very strong cultural emphasis on education, especially in math, engineering, and medicine. Many Iranians abroad are disproportionately represented in STEM fields, academia, and high-skill professions. This traces back to a long intellectual tradition (think Avicenna), but today it shows up in modern universities and tech sectors. Persians often excel in endurance, improvisation, and long-term perseverance. Persians have long been masters of underground engineering, exemplified by the ancient qanat systems developed in Iran, vast, precisely graded tunnels in granite that carried water across miles of arid terrain without pumps or evaporation. Built with remarkable mathematical accuracy and sustained by vertical access shafts, these networks reflect a deep understanding of geology, patience, and long-term planning. Their durability, many still functioning today, stands as a testament to a civilization that excelled at turning environmental constraint into enduring engineering innovation.
