Persian (Farsi) term or phrase: تمام سرد و گرم‌هاي
From an article in Etemaad.

آيت‌الله مهدوي‌كني، روحاني سياستمدار كهنه‌كاري است كه تمام سرد و گرم‌هاي سياست در ايران را چشيده است

Ayatollah Mahdavi Kani is a veteran political cleric who has experienced all sorts of politics in Iran

I am guessing "تمام سرد و گرم‌هاي" ("all cold and warm") simply means "all kinds"/"all varieties"?

Thanks.

Explanation:
