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 will continue the program with a report on how the leadership of the regime of ignorance and repression in Iran, including its bluffing military commanders of the Revolutionary Guard the likes of Ghassem Soleimani and Mohammad Ali Jaffari are glued to their television sets to watch president Trump’s announcement on the future of the nuclear deal.
The pro-regime film director Ebrahim Hatami has caused an embarrassment to himself and the regime by so stupidly enact some scenes of his flop film about the ISIS terrorists in a shopping center in Tehran, only to show the depth of the hallow projection of power of the regime and its proxies.
Meanwhile, another Iranian film director, Asghar Farhadi, is raising the names of Iran and Iranian cinema on international stage in this year’s Canne Film Festival, with his latest movies “Everyone Knows”.
It is his birthday as well and we wish Farhadi all the very best as people like him are under pressure inside Iran and have to make their films abroad, while amateurish people like Hatamikia has been making loss making pro-regime films for the last 38 years. So much for him calling himself a film director!
Today is also the anniversary of the death of Giti, the late wife of Massoud Kimiaei, another renowned Iranian filmmaker.
Also on this day forty years ago, the murderous judge Khalkhali executed Iran’s former Education Minister Mrs. Farokhroo Parsa, in the most barbaric way. I was there as a witness to see that Khalkhali hanged Mrs. Parsa twice.
In the second part of the program we will speak to our senior correspondent Mohammadreza Shaheed who will be reporting for us form this year’s Canne Film Festival.
Iran’s domestic media do not hold any hope that President Trump will renew his waiver and expect he will take US out of the nuclear deal.
At the end of the program we will update you on the Lebanese elections.
Stay with us for this edition of A Window to the Fatherland and share it with your family and friends.
