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 looking at Iran’s compliant against the US for “breaking the treaty of friendship between the two countries”.
This treaty had been signed between the late Shah and the then US administration in the 1950s and now the Islamic republic regime claims the Americans have breached it!!
That is relay rich for a regime whose agents back in 1980 climbed up the walls of the US embassy in Tehran and took 50 American diplomats and personnel as hostage for 444 days; took tens of US citizens hostage in Beirut; bombed the US army’s barracks in Lebanon by its satanic Hezbollah proxies and killed 260 American soldiers; bombed the US embassies in Nairobi and Darussalam and murdered 67 and 30 people respectively, and is now complaining about the “US breaching the treaty of friendship with Iran”!!!
Only the impertinence that is the hallmark of the Islamic republic regime can allow it to put forward such nonsense “complaint”. And it may be that its foreign minster Javad Zarif who has initiated this disgusting idea does not look like a mullah, but he is hundreds of times more wicked than the “religious” leaders of this corrupt regime.
And by the way, Mrs. Ebtekar who was the spokesperson for the hostage takers at the time is another hypocrite as herchildren are now resident of US, the very country that she had publicly threatened to kill its citizens to take a revenge for allegedly the US support of the Shah.
At this part of our program we interview the nationalist Iranian political activist Mohsen Khatami and begin with asking what does he think about the recent comments of the regime’s officials about the 1953 coup that overthrew Dr. Mossadeq’s government.
Mohsen Khatami:
Recently I have been reading and researching several new and old books about the contemporary history of Iran and have concluded that during the last 100 years our country has seen three major and historic changes.
The first one is when after the Constitutional Revolution, Reza Shah wanted to declare Iran as a republic but the mullahs stopped him from doing so.
The second one is when the young Mohammad Reza Shah enjoyed a very close and friendly relationship with the late Mossadeq, but the clerics plotted and destroyed that relationship.
The third and most significant historic event was the 1979 uprising when the Iranian people placed flowers in the barrels of the soldiers’ rifles.
The Shah was suffering from cancer and publiclyapologized to the Iranian people and offered his hand of cooperation to thenationalist and secular forces and agreed with the late Bakhtiar’s premiership.
When some people told Bakhtiar that the Shah’s father had killed his father and he must not accept the post, he replied bysaying that “this is not the time for political revenge…. Iran’s existence is in danger”.
But the clerics rejected Bakhtiar to take over the state for themselves.
To put it mildly, the clerical establishment inIran has done nothing but damaged our national interest throughout its existence and today religion and faith have vanished from our society as the mullahs have made all the three stages of our country’s progress fail.
And unless the hands of the clerics are cut offcompletely from the affairs of the state, the miserable conditions of our nation will continue to get even worse.
