Discussion on Iranian Protests and Politics

These protests, yeah, why do you think they kill people?

Well, it’s the Islamic Republic’s government. They’re all the Islamic Republic.

This is Mossad’s Persian-language page.

They posted a tweet. Will you read this tweet to me?

We will—we too will take to the streets.

The time has come. We are with you,

not only from afar and in words.

We are among you.

Mossad’s official page, which belongs to Israel,

has said in Persian that we are alongside you in the streets.

You heard Trump gave several speeches and said that

we gave a lot of weapons to the Kurds so they could get them into Iran—

Yes, but only a small number made it to the people. Yes.

Why do you think they gave weapons for them to end up in people’s hands?

I see it differently.

I see it as them giving weapons so we can fight those who kill.

That’s what I believe.

Uh, I was on strike when he said this.

I said, “Well, thank God, now they’ve issued a call, I’ll go.”

Those who go out say they’re well-equipped.

You know that Ahmadi who issued a call,

then in interviews, he was asked why he had issued a call

when he knew that there were armed people in the crowds?

Do you know what he answered?

He said, "I didn't issue a call."

Do you know what else he said?

He said most of those who were killed were linked to the Islamic Republic.

Most of the casualties are the regime elements themselves.

Most of them are either IRGC elements or Basij elements

or anything associated with the regime.

In fact, in fact, the minute what happened on January,

uh, eighth and ninth happened,

I called for people to stay at home.

The very person you're talking about

is responsible for the deaths of several thousand people.

But then he goes and claims that he didn't do this.

Maybe they were killed, of course, because he issued a call.

He issued a call, came out in support, and put it forward.

He wants to say we're behind you, go out into the streets.

Why would he even want to support us or help us?

We're talking about Trump and them.

I don't know, but, um...

I don't know what his real goal is for society.

You know, how many times has he come out and said what his goal in helping is?

He himself announced that the day after the Islamic Republic,

Iran's map will change, meaning our Iran will be destroyed.

They ask him, "What will all this spending lead to?"

He says, "After we remove the Islamic Republic,

we'll be able to take control of Iran's oil."

So his goal is to take Iran's oil.

He spends all this money, buys military equipment from them

so he can come and profit from the oil.

His goal is to dry up this country's water.

Trump has said several times, "I will destroy civilization and Iran."

He didn't say the Islamic Republic.

He said, "I'll erase them from the map."
