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:
I read this poem of mine deliberately because the other day I was talking to Kak Abdullah Mohtadi, the general secretary of Komola Party of Kurdistan of Iran.
He is so upset that people still keep asking him if he is a separatist and his party wants to partition Iran.
He is upset because he and his party have been fighting against the Iranian regime for forty years to bring democracy for a united Iran. He says where can the Iranian Kurds go? Iran is their motherland. In other countries of the Middle East the Kurds are a minority, but in Iran they are the Iranians and thousands of them have given their lives to defend it throughout many centuries.
I was listening to Rouhani’s speech on the day of the anniversary of the revolution. He sounded so childish with his yelling at the US and uttering empty slogans that belong to forty years ago.
Now the Guards commander Sardar Eslami wants to destroy Israel and America at the same time! These people never give up their hypocrisy.
Tomorrow the Warsaw conference begins in Poland, which will launch a new initiative for peace in the Middle East. But this cannot be achieved with the Iranian regime still around.
The Trump administration’s decision to see the back of this regime is serious as it is now reaching an agreement with North Korea.
There is no need for the Warsaw conference to announce this policy as the regime itself is falling apart and each faction of it isgoing its own way.
This is a regime that has taken Iran back by hundred years and it is doomed to fall.
