Today its grounds and buildings are maintained by the U.S. Department of StateTo get the job done he commissioned London decorator Michael Szell, whose work he had become acquainted with during his stint at the Iranian Embassy in London. Well-known in England as a fabric designer, Szell had already decorated palaces, mansions and tents from Tehran to Persopolis. Yet although he was familiar with Iranian culture and its decorative arts .The Shah and Shabanou attending an embassy function in the 1970’s; Visitors gasped with wonder upon entering the Embassy’s glittering Persian room. Hung along the walls were priceless silk carpets and a colorful fresco that is an enlargement of a Persian miniature. Low banquettes and cushions covered in traditional embroidered fabrics gave the room an informal quality.

  1. Would be nice to read some day that the Iranian people have woke up and the goons of the Islamic Terrorist Republic are overthrown.

  2. There is a right for Iran to be a soverign nation. However having it ruled by a dirty old man who looks like Colonel Sanders (Kentucky Fried Chicken)with a bathtowel on his head, has a bad image problem. Over thirty years of jihad-jackass rule is more than enough.

  3. I would love to see the label "jihad-jackass" be used in Western news agencies. It is a catchy phrase that really describes members of the current Tehran regime and its goons around the world.
