There's no way that was a "real" flash mob. They had multiple cameras set up, including one on a mobile crane...
My guess is that the bride and/or groom had it set up.
Still, nicely done.

Wasn't it the british and the US who created Iran after WW1.
Not from my understanding. It may have gained formalism in the preceding years, but Iran has always been around in one form or another. Persia is one of the older nations on the planet. We were, partly responsible for the birth of Israel shortly after WW2 though, as the British Mandate of Palestine. Or, to paraphrase what my Israeli friend joked a few times, "I can blame you for us being there!".

And how is this relevant when talking about the decisions that are made by the Iranian leadership today? Your statement smacks of the popular leftist lie: "this country is bad because we made them that way".
A "Popular leftist lie" ? What about rightist lies ? Wasn't Iran an armed bulwark against communism ?
There is a reason the iranians preferred a religious dumbhead to the then world's #1 torturer, Shah Mr. Reza Pahlawi, and drove the latter out of the country. Most persians did not want a religious state at that time or even now, this is nothing else than another dictatorship. But what do you want to do, kill the civilians with bombs ? I think Israel has found a much better and more clever way than the overkill method. Iranian military and nuclear installations have developed all kinds of failures lately, from errors in uranium centrifuges (stuxn..) to unexplainable exlosions of weapon facilites, without killing (too many) civilians.
Certainly, sh!t happens
Here are some more lies, english subtitles. Regarding Iran, from 2:20 on
On a more serious note, with "creating Iran" in a way, i meant the dieing of the Ottoman empire, and the creation of buffer states around Russia after WW1

Ah, Catfish, defender of Iran, glorious country of peace and only terribly misunderstood - thanks to the Great Satans of the USA and Isreal.
So glad to read your words of wisdom - I'm now convinced it's all the USA's fault and Iran is a wonderland of good feelings and an even better government that only wants to spread good cheer and prosperity.

This is dumb and you know it. Ahamadinnerjacket is a numbhead, even the Ajatollahs know that; and i did not say the iranian government is "harmless", especially when it comes to Israel. So why don't just someone gets there and does the job of prevention, you did it before in more than 20 other countries.

I am sure the USA are a wonderland of good feelings and an even better government that only wants to spread good cheer and prosperity, especially the guys in Langley. I am sure most even believe in what they do and the company's special kind of patriotism, at least before they reach the age of 50.

"Putin on the Ritz" lol
Well i also noticed the crane, but even if you do some preparations like get some people filming and using a crane for special views it still may be a private flashmob, just well prepared. The bride and groom may have organized it, yes - but still nice
