Hi. Here are a few stamp blocks from my collection I wanted to share.In this regime many stamps show main events and propaganda somewhat anti-US or anti-Israel; celebrations of the take over of the Teheran american ambassy; war with Iraq..............and this revolting last stamp block refering to the cristal night of 1938!!
Very interesting lot to study.
If anyone feels free to give more information on those stamp blocks,you are more than welcome!

Thank you for posting these. I've actually never looked at Iranian stamps, particularly after the Islamic revolution. I collect USSR and DDR and I'm quite fascinated with the propaganda and historical perspectives represented in those stamps. My interest in Russian and German stamps stems from my family history and I guess at the same time that is what also repels me from Islamic revolutionary stamps. Interesting how a country can use postage stamps to indoctrinate their people and for those stamps that are issued CTO, to show the rest of the world their political stand. Scary, isn't?

Indeed it is very frightening!In the early 1990's Iran issued an extremely antisemite stamp (the last stamp block above). If you look closely, You can see a little boy on it throwing a big stone on a sort of window with the star of David on it.Protest against the stamp came from the UN and other influent organizations or other states (to confirm?). For once, we won a little victory; the stamp was forbidden and withdrawn from circulation.

U.s., Israel Condemn Iran Stamp Showing Boy Stoning a Synagogue
February 12, 1992
The United States has joined Israel in condemning an Iranian postage stamp that depicts a young boy hurling a rock through a window with a Star of David.
It is Iran’s contribution to the 1991 International Day of the Child.
The stamp is the most egregious example of state-sponsored religious intolerance, John Burgess, the U.S. delegate to the U.N. Human Rights Commission, said at its annual meeting here.
The stamp, which evokes memories of Kristallnacht in Nazi Germany 54 years ago, encourages intolerance and violence against members of the Jewish faith, the U.S. envoy told the commission Monday.
“It violates both the 1991 declaration and a 1984 resolution of the Universal Postal Union, which called for the avoidance of stamp designs that are offensive to people or countries,†Burgess pointed out.
“Such activity should be deemed completely unacceptable, particularly for a member of the Human Rights Commission,†he said.

How disturbing! I have many propaganda stamps in my collections, but these top them all for pure evil. I've met many Iranians here in Vancouver (they refer to themselves not as Iranians, but Persians), and they all express profound relief to be in Canada rather than Iran.
A hairdresser I met came to Canada with her husband and immediately applied for a divorce. She had tried several times in Iran, but was always told that since her husband, a dentist, provided food and a roof over her head, she had no reason to divorce him. It was a different story in Canada. When the judge decreed that the divorce was final, the husband jumped up and said, angrily, that she couldn't do that! The judge said (and I paraphrase), "You are in Canada, sir, not in Iran. Sit down!" He did.
Later, the ex-husband moved back to Iran and remarried. The hairdresser also remarried.
A note about the UPU: We collectors have trouble keeping up with new issues. The UPU, which is probably underfunded, probably has even more trouble. Imagine the paperwork involved in declaring stamps to be invalid.

" ... Hateful..." and "....evil ..."
I keep awaiting the film clip of Palestinians or other Arab/Moslems parading down the main boulevard carrying signs that state "We just want to live in peace with our neighbors."
I hope I do not have to live another seventy years to see that.

Well,Charlie is no longer here in Paris!It is such dangerous propaganda that we can see in those stamps that spreads murder and hate! There were so many people in Paris this sunday but I managed to bring flowers where our 4 jewish compatriots were shot. This is the least I could do to honnor their memory.
