I haven't heard that pronunciation of Tehran, probably because I can't bring myself to watch TV news. You definitely pronounce the "h" In Tehran, but there's no "kh" sound. "Teh" is like "Tet" without the last "t" and kind of an exhaling "h", and then "ran" has a long a, like "tron".
Iran is pronounced "ee" and then the same "ran" as Tehran. Iranian is that and then "ee" and "an" rhyming with "tron". My favorite slogan was "vai be ruz ke mosalah shavim" but I don't think it stuck around long

I'm sure that there are a lot of people coming on here though who do not feel the same way. And I think using a racist term like "sand-nigger" is a good way to piss off and alienate the very people we are trying to help out. But anyway, that's just my view of things, as a non-anonymous who came here to help out Iranians. |
