Discussion on Iranian Political Dynamics

Why wasn't surrender one of the options?

Why didn't they surrender—

They could have done something else, in a major speech the whole country listens to,

tell everyone, "You vote. Should we leave or stay?"

Now, an independent government. How can these opponents change the government?

They need to expand their social base.

That's right.

Why does Reza Pahlavi issue calls?

That's right.

Why do they resort to slaughter? Why do they bring weapons into Iran?

Why does Pouria Zeraati say the way to take Iran is Assad's way? Because

they have no social base, because they have no supporters.

Mr. Pahlavi also launched a campaign called

"I Give My Mandate." Around 500,000 or 600,000 people voted—

That's right.

for Mr. Pahlavi. Can you believe it? He can't even state the number.

Pahlavi's elite, come on—

Which government—

Are these our elites in Iran now? Sir, let that elite go sit up there.

I mean, it won't get that far. The day after the State, the central government,

and the power of our current Islamic Republic in our country are gone,

a bloodbath will begin. Some estimate that millions of people

will be killed. Our country has ISIS, Jaish al-Adl, Pan-

Turks,

Pan-Kurds, and Pan-Arabism. These are people who want the country divided.

If ISIS comes into our country, it won't spare our people.

Just as it didn't spare the people of Syria or the people of Iraq.

Even now, with a central government, don't they say they lay claim to Greater Tunb

and Lesser Tunb? Doesn't Trump say the Strait of Hormuz must become

the

Trump Strait? Trump, who's spent so much, waged war, sent weapons,

brought fighter jets, deployed various ships around Iran, and spent billions

of dollars on war, is going to hand the country over to you and me on a silver platter.

So, when there's a central government and they make these claims, they attack the country

They do. If the Islamic Republic steps aside, they'll attain this power much more easily.
