Political Debate on US-Iran Relations

I'm telling you now, as one of the people and many other people, Mr. J—

Mr. Sabeti, I don't want war. Mr. Sabeti, I'm Nasrin Farahani.

At your service.

I was a political reporter for Asr-e Iran, Ham Mihan, and Avash.

I'll explain these—

Why?

Because you seem very interested in interrogations.

You are.

Why do you try to make even a logical discussion emotional first, calling it an interrogation—

No, I'm not making it emotional—

No, really, right now—

Your manner of speaking, your questions to the kids—

No, actually, my approach—

I'm talking about something else now—

No, please let me. This is my only point. If you think you have a logical argument here

in defense of relations with America, that negotiating with America led to two wars

and rising prices, but when you call it an interrogation, please let—

them be held accountable—

If you—

keep asking the kids who they voted for.

Yes, what's wrong with that? He can say, "I don't want to say who I voted for."

Is this an interrogation? An interrogation means I get up here and say,

either you say who you voted for, or I'll at least do something or other.

I'm asking who you voted for.

Mr. Sabeti—

The point is, two years after your vote, you should—

You should be accountable here.

The point is, two years after your vote for Pezeshkian, you still feel

ashamed among the public. Why? Because you voted so there wouldn't be war.

War happened twice. You voted so the dollar wouldn't reach 70,000 tomans.

You don't represent our feelings, Mr. Sabeti.

No, I definitely don't represent your feelings.

Because I represent a movement that is rational and, regarding negotiations with America, at least has a—

Well, from your point of view—

serious doubt. That's clear—

Mr. Sabeti, let's not take the discussion off track.

Please. What's off track is that you first make the discussion emotional, then

call this an interrogation.

Well—

People have asked you a thousand times about resistance and uh...

fraud, feeble lies, and basically the names Zarif and Rouhani come up, you...

Uh—

I believe—

You find lies in the documents...

These people are hurt because the Mongols haven't

attacked.

Mr. Sabeti, rather than turn the debate with you into sarcasm—

With all due respect, I have a point. It's that regarding why negotiations

with

America are not wise, honorable, and clear-eyed—

These are just slogans. These are slogans people have heard a lot from you

and your group.

Mr. Jalili came into the—

No, this is our martyred leader.

In the election, he brought a 700-page plan, Mr.

Sabeti.

This is our martyred leader. Do you believe he was just making slogans?

The martyred leader authorized multiple teams to negotiate—

Yes, because he wasn't a dictator.

When the people's vote was something that, even if—

You, in his place, are argu— presenting his arguments.

As a politician—

Surely, if he were a martyred leader, if he led a country,

he would know why he was permitting whom.

It certainly isn't out of emotion that we say we want to negotiate.

You're sitting over there, watching. Amirhossein Sabeti comes to the podium

in Parliament and says, "Death to America." On Iran's streets, they chant, "Death to

America, death to Israel."

When it comes to Mina School, to me—

That's ab— absolutely Mina School's matter.

Excuse me, in the 1980s, how was our passenger plane any different?

Do you distinguish between the downing of a passenger plane and Minab School—

D-do you see a difference?

Mr. Sabeti—

You believe that the very act they committed—

Exactly, after the massacres of the 1980s, the Leader gave permission

to negotiate.

Look—

If you have more honor, if you're tougher than the Leader—

If it's about the Leader, let me sit down and discuss it.

But don't keep jumping from one branch to another.
