Hi @jacobtothe,
I wanted to send a quick note to express my genuine gratitude for your insightful comment on my intro post and for delegating the Resource Credits to help me get started!
Your point about how modern Western discourse often overlooks Iranian history beyond 1979—and forgets pivotal chapters like the World Wars or earlier constitutional movements—deeply resonated with me. It actually inspired me to choose the topic for my very first article.
I just published a detailed piece about a figure famous and deeply respected in Iran, yet largely forgotten in the United States. Given your interest in this history, I thought you might enjoy reading it—and I even gave you a small shout-out in the opening note!

Thanks again for your warm welcome and support. I'd love to hear your thoughts whenever you have a chance to read it!
