We begin tonight’s edition of A Window to the Fatherland with Dr. Alireza Nourizadeh reading one of his poems from the book of his collected works.
Dr Alireza Nourizadeh:
We continue the program with reporting on the unprecedented and devastating flooding in several major Iranian cities in which more than 20 people have perished thousands more fled their homes.
What can we say about this yet another disaster befalling upon our nation as a result of the devastating rule of the despotic regime in Iran.
This regime has only brought miseries and catastrophes onto our people since its inception forty years ago.
In a way the Iranian people are paying a heavy price for removing the Shah from power and bringing in the Khomeini regime in his place.
The hatred that the new regime has had against anything Iranian has been a curse onto our people, ranging from executing thousands of our young people, sending hundreds of thousands of the old and young to their deaths in the war with Iraq and subjecting the entire nation to devastating international economic sanctions through its adventurist foreign and regional policies.
There is no question about the fact that the current flooding is the result of years of mismanagement of Iran’s water resources through insane multiple dam constructions as well as theft and corruption among the regime’s top officials.
In the midst of all these calamities engulfing our nation Khamenei’s puppets have once again resumed the misleading talk of removing the post of president and installing a puppet prime minister in his place.
And as Mustafa Tajzadeh, the loyal reformist politician has corrected said, when Khamenei is the despot whose decisions override all government’s plans, may be he should from now on be called the supreme leader-prime minster.
