DAMAVANDI CLINCHES VICTORY IN GENERAL ELECTIONS

TEHRAN – The Pan-Iranist party gained an astonishing landslide victory in what is considered to be a major upset for the National Front.

The results of the elections had candidate Arash Damavandi defeat and replace former Prime Minister Alborz Nahavandi of the National Front Party. Yasaman Moradi of the Democratic Party came in third place.

Following the election announcement of the election results, people took the streets in various cities to celebrate the election of the new Prime Minister. Damavandi also came out among his supporters in his hometown of Shiraz and gave a rousing victory speech to the cheering crowd.

    "It gives me great joy to know that the people of Afsharid Persia have put their faith in me to guide this nation towards its future. I promise to take on this responsibility with the utmost care and responsibility, and ensure that the people of Persia are never unhappy. It also gives me great joy to see how the ideals of the Pan-Iranist Party, who had fallen into disregard for so long have now once again been revived among the people. For years we remained dormant, but ever alive, and we have risen again from our ashes, just like a phoenix. And I promise to you, that just as we have risen from our ashes, so too will the lost glory and splendor of Iranic people all around the world!

    However, I want to stress, that the concept of Iranic is more than just a people. The notion of Iran is more than just a country. Iran is an ideology, a tradition, a lifestyle, a culture spanning thousands of years! A culture and tradition that has survived despite all hardships. Alexander the Accursed may have burned Persepolis to the ground, but it was Iran that arose again from the ashes, while the Macedonian empire was forever killed with him. Even though we suffered a terrible defeat at the hands of the Arab armies, we gained a new religion. Though we suffered under the rule of the Caliphs, we learned honor from Imam Ali. We took their religion, but drove the Arabs out, surviving and retaining our Iranian identity. Our people saw the invasion of the savage and bloodthirsty Mongols. When they conquered Persia, a group rose among our people known as the Sarbedars (heads on gallows). Despite the name, it was the enemy whose heads were strung on the gallows! Though the Ottomans had their eyes on Tabriz, it was the Iranians who defeated them and took Baghdad instead. Saddam marched into Persia with the intentions of ripping away Persia's vein, Khuzestan, but it was his own country that was cut up, and his own army that was defeated.

    Despite all the hardships, the Iranic people have always risen to the occasion, and have held onto the one thing that has made us so successful in all these struggles: our identity. I will ensure that this identity, this culture, is never forgotten or suppressed, not just in Iran, but anywhere in the world. A new Iran is coming my people, and it is, a glorious Iran!" said Damavandi.

The victory is set to be a turning point in Persian politics and foreign policy. This is the first time the Pan-Iranist Party has gained a majority in the Majles since the early 1960s. It comes as a major upset for Alborz Nahavandi and the National Front Party, who had held onto a majority in Parliament for many years.

The election also proved to be underwhelming for the Democratic Party, who despite having the third most seats in parliament, failed to make a huge impact, and lost seats to the Pan-Iranist party.

The other parties remained more or less the same in terms of parliamentary influence. The Will of the Iranian Nation Party retained its 15 seats, and the People's Voice Party gained 2 seats to have a total of 10 seats. The SUMKA party lost a seat and was reduced to a mere 2 seats, while the Tudeh Party remained at 3 seats. The Islamic Coalition Party remains the biggest party outside of the current big three, gaining 5 seats for a total of 32. The Green Party, MDP, and LIF remained unchanged.

It remains to be seen what this move will mean for Afsharid Persian foreign policy. It is expected that Persia will increase ties with countries such as The Afghan Republic and The Tajik Republic.

However, many are skeptical as to what will happen to the ties between Persia's Arab neighbors such as Arab-jamahiriya or Sahuria, and especially The Turkish-State. Persia and Turkey have long shared close diplomatic ties, especially under the rule of His Imperial Majesty Shahanshah Ardeshir Afshar, but the Pan-Iranist Party has long been a critic of the Turks and their oppression of the Kurdish minority in eastern Turkey.

TEHRAN – The football federation of Afsharid Persia announced today that a deal has been reached with the German football federation to play a friendly match between the two nations. This will be the first game in 10 years between the two sides, who last played in a friendly 2009.

"I think the game against Germany will be very beneficial for both us and the Germans. Germany is a great team and we have a lot to learn from them. They are sure to test our defense." said national team manager Marc Wilmots.

The game is to serve as a preparation match for the upcoming 2022 World Cup Qualifiers, in which Persia has been drawn against Hong Kong, Cambodia, Mamlakat Al-Bahrayn and Arab-jamahiriya. The top spot in the group will qualify for the second round of Asian Qualifiers for the 2022 World Cup in Qatar as well as gain automatic qualification to the 2023 Asian Cup in Zhonghua minzu gongheguo. Persia's first match in the qualifiers will be on September 10th away against Hong Kong.

National team manager Marc Wilmots is to announce the 24 man squad for the camp in Tehran in the upcoming week, with the friendly match scheduled to be played on September 1st. The match will be played at Tehran's Azadi Stadium. Tickets can be bought online from through the football federation's website.

Due to safety concerns, the Persian football federation has submitted a letter to FIFA asking the location of both the away games against Hong-Kong and Arab-jamahiriya to be changed to neutral venues.

In other news, national team winger Alireza Jahanbakhsh has been linked with a move to Dutch side PSV. The winger spent last season at English side Brighton & Hove Albion, where he failed to make a major impact following a season riddled with injuries and international duty due to Persia's deep run at the 2019 Asian Cup. Jahanbakhsh was previously linked with Italian side Napoli and 2015/2016 EPL champions Leicester City before eventually making the move to Brighton.

Striker Kaveh Rezaei has also returned to training from a long injury and is set to feature for Club Brugge in their upcoming UEFA Champions League Qualifier against LASK of Austria.
