Lavash Bread Rose Tahdig
May 24, 2025 - Video and recipe by TahdigLover on social media.

This Lavash Bread Rose Tahdig is a stunning fusion of taste and artistry, where crispy layers of lavash are elegantly rolled into delicate rose shapes. The golden crust and intricate design make it a show-stopping centerpiece that is as visually captivating as it is delicious.

Ingredients:
– 2-3 sheets of lavash bread
– 2 cups basmati rice, washed and soaked
– 2-3 tablespoons plain yogurt
– 2-3 tablespoons saffron water (prepared by steeping a pinch of saffron in hot water)
– 3-4 tablespoons melted butter or oil
– Salt (to taste)

Steps:

1. Prepare the Base: Boil the basmati rice until it’s just shy of fully cooked, then drain.
2. Cut and Roll Lavash: Cut the lavash bread into long strips. Roll each strip into a rose-like shape by curling the edges inward.
3. Layer the Tahdig: In a large, non-stick pot, mix yogurt, saffron water, a pinch of salt, and 1-2 tablespoons of melted butter. Spread this mixture evenly at the base.
4. Place the Roses: Arrange the rolled lavash roses on top of the saffron-yogurt mixture in a circular pattern.
5. Add the Rice: Gently layer the par-cooked rice over the lavash roses, being careful not to disrupt them. Drizzle the remaining melted butter or oil over the top.
6. Cook Slowly: Cover the lid with a clean kitchen towel to catch condensation and place it securely on the pot. Cook on low heat for about 30-40 minutes, until the rice is steamed and the lavash bottom forms a golden, crispy crust.
7. Unveil and Serve: Once ready, carefully flip the pot onto a large serving plate to reveal the tahdig and your beautiful lavash rose creation!

May 24 - Has the U.S. backed the Islamic Republic into a corner, much like a mouse caught in a trap?

The recent twists and turns in the nuclear negotiations have raised questions on whether the U.S. will allow the Islamic Republic of Iran to enrich uranium on Iranian soil.

With tensions escalating, critical questions loom. How will Mr. Khamenei’s regime respond? Will the U.S. extend an olive branch and offer an exit strategy for the Islamic Republic? Or will the U.S. muster the resolve to take decisive action, potentially altering the geopolitical landscape?

Only time will tell how the next chapter will unfold.

May 24 – The UK Home Office said it would be considering proscribing several Iran-backed groups as terrorist organizations following the publication of a report about the legal gaps in British law which make it impossible to currently list such groups.

The announcement, made by British Home Secretary Yvette Cooper on Monday comes after the foiling of a significant terror plot on UK soil and the arrest of several Iranian men believed to be connected to the plot.

The announcement could lead to the listing of Iran’s Revolutionary Guards Corps as a terrorist organization in Britain which is believed to be responsible for several attacks on Iranian dissidents in the UK.

Iran’s government has ramped up its deportation of Afghan migrants in the country following an influx of Afghans after the Taliban took power in Afghanistan in 2021.

Iran is currently the world’s largest refugee-hosting country, with an estimated 6 million Afghans in Iran, most of whom are Sunni Muslims.

Tehran said the move was designed to ease economic pressure on the Islamic Republic, a majority Shia Muslim state.

And Oman said Iran and the U.S. would be holding their fifth round of talks about Iran’s nuclear program in Rome on Friday.

The talks have hit a stalemate, with the U.S. telling Iran to abandon its current nuclear program while Iran has refused to stop its enrichment of uranium calling the request “outrageous.”

The West has in recent years said it would never allow Iran to acquire a nuclear weapon, while Iran has said it is seeking to develop nuclear power for civilian purposes, a claim which has been questioned by U.S. officials.

April 30, 2025 - When 11-year-old Kevin Nazemi wrote a letter to the White House in 1993 requesting an interview with then-President Bill Clinton, he received a coloring book in return.

Undeterred, the sixth-grader from Columbia, Missouri, who had recently immigrated from Iran and spoke no English upon arrival, began calling the White House directly.

“I still remember the number,” Nazemi said.

His teacher noted at the time that Nazemi didn’t understand what the word “impossible” meant — perhaps explaining his extraordinary persistence.

The interview request was part of a class project at his Missouri school that paired students with KOMU, the University of Missouri’s television station, to create news reports. Nazemi and his classmate Sam Bornhauser had ambitious plans.

His persistent calls reached Dave Anderson, a then-23-year-old junior White House staffer who was struck by the boy’s determination.

“His tone was demanding,” Anderson recalled. “It never felt like, ‘Pretty please, can I get an interview with the president?’ It was much more, ‘When can I get the interview with the president?’”

“I remember he called all the time, and I was like, ‘I don’t know what to tell you, Kevin.’ I’m like, ‘I don’t have anything new today,”’ Anderson added.

After two weeks of daily calls, Anderson delivered unexpected news: Nazemi had been granted an eight-minute interview with Clinton during an upcoming visit to Cleveland.

“It was Dave on the phone, and he said, ‘You’ve been granted an interview with the president. Can you get to Cleveland?’” Nazemi recalled being called to the principal’s office for the life-changing news.

With just three days to prepare, Nazemi and his classmate gathered questions from fellow students and traveled to Cleveland for what he now calls a life-changing opportunity.

“He took my call and he treated me seriously and with kindness and encouragement,” Nazemi said of Anderson, who went beyond his official duties to help make the improbable interview happen.

DUBAI, May 23 (Reuters) – Iranian and U.S. delegations wrapped up a fifth round of talks in Rome on Friday and signs of some limited progress emerged in the negotiations aimed at resolving a decades-long dispute over Tehran’s nuclear ambitions.

Despite both Washington and Tehran taking a tough stance in public ahead of the talks on Iran‘s uranium enrichment, Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi said there was potential for progress after Oman made several proposals during the talks.

“We have just completed one of the most professional rounds of talks … We firmly stated Iran‘s position … The fact that we are now on a reasonable path, in my view, is itself a sign of progress,” Araqchi told state TV.

“The proposals and solutions will be reviewed in respective capitals … and the next round of talks will be scheduled accordingly.”

A senior U.S. official said the talks lasted more than two hours and were both direct and indirect with Omani mediators.

“The talks continue to be constructive – we made further progress, but there is still work to be done. Both sides agreed to meet again in the near future. We are grateful to our Omani partners for their continued facilitation,” the official said.

The stakes are high for both sides. President Donald Trump wants to curtail Tehran’s potential to produce a nuclear weapon that could trigger a regional nuclear arms race and perhaps threaten Israel. The Islamic Republic, for its part, wants to be rid of devastating sanctions on its oil-based economy.

Omani Foreign Minister Badr Albusaidi said on X the talks between Araqchi and Trump’s Middle East envoySteve Witkoff had ended “with some but not conclusive progress”.

Ahead of the talks, Araqchi wrote on X: “Zero nuclear weapons = we Do have a deal. Zero enrichment = we do NOT have a deal. Time to decide.”
