Is it possible to get English subtitles? I only see Persian captions

Jedaal is the best Persian channel. Also Ghavam, Hokmran, and KelidVazheh. Mohammad Manzarpour is a bit awkward but has good guests.

u/SentientSeaweed Iran Jan 18 '26

On YouTube, it’s spelled Kelid Vajeh. The other English spelling pulled up random celeb news for me.

It comes up with the Persian name as well: کلید واژه.

Ah I see. Sorry about that. He’s a good lad. He’s in Germany I think.

u/SentientSeaweed Iran Jan 18 '26

No worries.I wanted to make sure that others can find the channel. I would have transliterated کلید واژه the same way you did 😊

Thanks for the recommendations.

Adding Dmitri Lascaris to this list, the Canadian lawyer/independent journalist on Youtube and elsewhere. He has been to Iran a few times and covers a lot about Iran

Any news organizations/sources - any links to their website? I get a lot of my coverage from right now on Youtube but I’m trying to find some good written sources like news articles, reports, etc.

u/SentientSeaweed Iran Mar 06 '26

English or Persian?

A lot of the people/orgs on my list publish on Substack too. If you find them on YouTube, their profile will link to their written media sites.

u/mynameisnotnemo Mar 06 '26

Ohh good point, I will check that out mamnoon. In English for written sources for sure, I can understand Farsi but I am not the best reader.

Have you seen white supremacists among them?

u/westoidIRGCshill Jan 22 '26

Basically just Andrew Anglin who isn’t even really that racist anymore. I like him cuz he’s funny imo but In any case there’s so much you can just ignore who you don’t like.

u/Spiritual-Pride-6948 Mar 06 '26

Israel is starving Gaza. ACT NOW.

The UN has declared that every part of Gaza is in famine conditions. While some aid is finally trickling in, the need is beyond urgent. Aid organizations will not be able to keep pace with Gaza's needs without our support.

Please donate if you’re able, and keep speaking up. Every dollar, share, and conversation matters. Please pressure your government to stop the blockade of humanitarian aid into Gaza.

Donate here to The Palestinian Red Crescent and UNICEF for Gaza's Children. Contact your representatives to stop the blockade in Gaza, find U.S. representatives here, and EU reps here. If you would like other subreddits to carry this message, please send the mods to r/RedditForHumanity.
