For ease of reading for those of us who don't speak Farsi, I'm going to refer to the first of these accounts as zynib amyry and the second as zynib am. These are the suggested transliteration of the usernames according to google translate.

Zynib amyry was blocked for copyright infringement a few days ago. A few hours later Kabiryazd returns to active editing after a multi-year break. Their first edit back was to replace a deleted image that zynib amyry had uploaded. They've since uploaded two more images (File:Shervin bozorg900.jpeg, File:Peyman babaei9.jpg) on subjects of interest to zynib amyry.

Zynib am's only edits have to been to copy the content of Shervin Bozorg, an article zynib amyry created, to their user page and talk page. Sir Sputnik (talk) 00:48, 2 November 2020 (UTC)

 * - While the connection seems pretty cut and dry, I'm concerned they may have more accounts. Please check for sleepers. Sir Sputnik (talk) 00:50, 2 November 2020 (UTC)
 * All three accounts are ✅. I don't immediately see other accounts or sleepers.  Maxim (talk)  22:42, 3 November 2020 (UTC)

میلاد ایزدی (trans: Milad Izadi) made their first edits outside their own userspace to object to the deletion of Shervin Bozorg, an article created by a previous sock, just a few hours prior. (diff). This was followed by adding broken image links to Moslem Mojademi and Peyman Babaei (diff, diff), both of which had previously featured images uploaded by the same sock.

On 6 December, Mohammadabas1 created most of the content now located at Ali Pour Dara in their sandbox. A few hours later Milad Izadi copied the content first to their user page, then to Ali pour Dara (see deleted editing history). Sir Sputnik (talk) 16:32, 17 January 2021 (UTC)

See the page Alipourdara54 which is a recreation of Ali Pour Dara which was deleted because the creator turned out to be another sock of prolific sockpuppeteer Kabiryazd.

Please, please check for sleepers. Spiderone (Talk to Spider) 20:40, 22 January 2021 (UTC)

 * This is far to obvious to require CU attention. With the last two checks not turning up any sleepers, I don't really see a need to check for them again. Sir Sputnik (talk) 21:28, 22 January 2021 (UTC)

He has just created Arastoo-khoshrazm. Please block before he causes any more issues. See history at Arastoo Khoshrazm and Ali Pour Dara. Spiderone (Talk to Spider) 08:08, 18 March 2021 (UTC)

That these three are connected to each other is pretty cut and dry, to the point where User:Minorax has already issued an agf-sock warning to Younes akbarpour.

Ahmad aljaburi's only edits outside their own userspace are to Draft:Younes Akbarpour. Zeinabamiri2 has recreated the article on Mohammad Hossein Heydari as their userpage.

Kabiryazd has used the name Zeinabamiri for several of their previous socks. See User:زینب امیری and User:Zeinabamiri1370. It seems exceedingly unlikely that there would be another editor using the same name, with same interest in Iranian football, misusing multiple accounts.

 * This isn't great sleeper checking territory, but I can say that these are ✅ to each other, and consistent with historical data:
 * (already blocked and tagged as a proven sock)
 * (already blocked for promo)
