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 first looking at the latest outrageous comments by the reactionary mullah Alam Ulhoda who has said that “the Iranian people are tolerating their poverty because they are ready to sacrifice for the day when the missing twelfth Imam will come and award them for their resistance”!!
This vile comment comes from a corrupt mullah, who, with his murderer son-in-lawEbrahim Raisee controls the billion-dollar “charity” of Astane Ghuds Razavi in the holy city of Mashad.
And just compare Alam Ulhoda’s outrageous comments with the Japanese Prime Minster’s belief when he says that every poor person in a civilized country is a walking bomb that can explode any time.
Today is the birthday of two of Iran’s prominent artists, the filmmaker Massoud Kimiayie and the songwriter Shahriar Ghanbari, and we wish them a very happy birthday.
Later we will update our audience with the latest news of the nationwide strike by Iran’s truck drivers, as they have now called upon Iran’s bazaar to join them in the industrial action against the country’s dire economic conditions.
Despite all the blustering from the Rouhani officials that the government is in full control of the economic crisis, Iranian media today reported the Iranian rial has hit an all-time low against the U.S. dollar on Sunday. The currency dropped to 116,000 to one U.S. dollar, beating the late June low point of 87,000 rials to the dollar.
And now an Iranian MP has been shouting in the Majles that their findings confirm that more than 60 percent of Iranian women in the country clearly oppose the mandatory hijab, and yet a bunch of reactionary mullahs keep insisting on its forceful imposition.
And this is despite the fact the a photograph that shows Khamenei’s confidante Ali Akbar Velayati’s niece appearing without a hijab in a wedding party in Iran, which exposes the regime’s double standard and hypocrisy.
In the second part of the program we will shed some light on the arrest of the former ice cream seller turned multi-billionaire Shahram Jazayeri through his corrupt links with the regime’s religious leaders.
The regime has claimed that he has been arrested while attempting to leave the country, while Jazayeri himself has denied this and said the photograph that the regime has published depicting him at a border crossing is an old one.
At the end of the program we will watch a video clip in which Mohammad Javad Azari Jahromi, the Telecom Minister speaks about the state of social media in Iran.
