Introduction to the Pan-Iranist Progressive Party Founded on Legacy. Driven by Sustainability. Inspired by Truth.
The Pan-Iranist Progressive Party is not merely a political extension—it is a cultural renaissance and strategic movement rooted in the timeless values of environmental stewardship, historical continuity, and governance transparency. It seeks to bridge the ancient wisdom of Persia with the urgent demands of modern sustainability.
Rooted in Dynastic Memory and Historical Intelligence
This movement honors the legacy of the Zand dynasty and the heroic lineage of the Jiroft landlord—my great-grandfather, Zohr Ali Shah, a cavalry commander who fought in the Tangestan battle. He was at least twenty years senior to the more widely recognized figure of that patriotic armed defense and the bloody battle against aggressive British navy force, Ali Delvari, and possessed the wealth and stature to be called “Shah” in the southern region of Kerman by locals. His logistical support and leadership were instrumental in sustaining the resistance, even though the battle itself yielded no enduring strategic victory—its legacy survives only in fragments within the collective memory of Iranians.
I bet British didn't know about him after 100 years after his death.

The style you’re observing in the picture—where gentlemen fasten only the top button of their suit jacket while leaving the lower buttons undone—was a hallmark of early 20th-century formal menswear, particularly during the Edwardian era (1901–1910) and continuing into the interwar years.
Key Characteristics of the Style:
1. Formal Elegance with Structured Silhouettes Men’s suits were designed with a strong emphasis on structure and posture. Jackets were tailored to accentuate the chest and shoulders, often with high armholes and narrow waists. Closing only the top button helped maintain a clean, upright silhouette while allowing ease of movement and a glimpse of the waistcoat beneath.
2. Three-Piece Suits and Layering Most formal attire included a waistcoat (vest), which was considered essential. Leaving the lower buttons of the jacket open allowed the waistcoat to be visible, adding depth and refinement to the ensemble. It also prevented the jacket from bunching or pulling when seated.
3. Etiquette and Functionality This buttoning style was not just aesthetic—it followed a rule of etiquette. The bottom button of a single-breasted jacket was traditionally left undone to avoid distorting the garment’s shape. This convention became widespread and remains a standard in classic menswear today.
4. Photographic Formality In official portraits or diplomatic meetings, this style conveyed dignity and restraint. The top button closure created a composed frame for the shirt collar, tie, and lapels, while the open lower section added a relaxed but intentional flair.
5. Influence of Military and Aristocratic Dress The style echoed military uniforms and aristocratic tailoring, where formality and precision were paramount. It was a way to signal status, discipline, and taste without appearing overly rigid.
This sartorial choice became a visual shorthand for gentlemanly decorum—especially in photographs, where posture and symmetry were carefully curated.
His story, once obscured by dynastic erasure, now finds voice in our platform. Jiroft, a Bronze Age civilization predating Sumer and Mesopotamia, represents the cradle of Persian identity. Sheltered by rugged mountains, its rediscovery has led scholars to reconsider the origins of civilization itself—revealing a kingdom excluded from historical transparency documents.

The blog greenithouse.com serves as an independent extension of Pan-Iranist Progressive thought, offering over 200 posts that illuminate the ecological and cultural realities of the Iranian Plateau.
Progressive by Ancient Design
The term Progressive is not borrowed from contemporary politics—it reflects ancient Zarathushtrian values translated from Pahlavi to English. It embodies ethical governance, strategic foresight, and cultural resilience. We honor the Safarid dynasty for its defense of the Persian language and uphold the legacy of Darius the Great as a model of principled leadership.
A Platform for Elites and Patriots
We invite intellectuals, cultural guardians, and descendants of native Persian tribes—especially those tied to the Afshar and Zand dynasties—to join us. This movement is for those who value:
Strategic planning for national transformation
Cultural preservation through storytelling and advocacy
Empowering future generations with patriotic transparency

The blog operates under a “hands-off” content policy. While we reserve the right to remove posts that violate basic rules, we do not customize content for political compliance across jurisdictions.
