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 the continuation of the Iranian teachers’ strike, which has been organized and supported by the high council of Iranian teachers association.
We salute their heroic action as these are the same teachers who used to teach our children during the Iran-Iraq war while their school buildings were being bombed by Saddam’s army.
These are the same teachers who have been teaching our children the works of our national poets and writers to keep the flames of the Iranian culture burning against the dark ideology of the ruling tyrannical regime.
We will also look at the speech by Rouhani at the Tehran University and remind him that the 4th of November that the US oil sanctions start is the same day that his environment minister Masoumeh Ebtekar climbed up the wall of the US embassy in Tehran and began a disastrous crisis that to this day our nation has been paying a heavy price for it.
Todays is also the birthday of the Empress Farah Diba of Iran and we wish her a happy birthday and good health as she is a very popular and respected figure among our nation and all of the regime’s wicked attempts to discredit her reputation have badly failed.
In the second part of the program I need to offer some explanation about a dirty campaign against myself.
When the Iranian regime claimed that two young Iranian pilgrims had been raped at the Jeddah airport I wrote a story and said that this was fabricated news and the two young men had been searched by airport security on suspicion of carrying drugs and later released.
Now on the issue of Jamal Khashoogi disappearance I have been courageous enough to say from the beginning that if the Saudis have had any involvement in this saga they deserve to be punished for it.
This who story has a suspicious link to it and King Salman has now given the permission to Turkish police to enter their consulate to investigate this bizarre affair.
The interesting thing is that the Iranian regime has chosen to remain silent about the whole affair because it has itself imprisoned and killed many journalist and dissidents and can hardly claim any “moral victory” over the Saudis by accusing them of Jamal Khashoogi’s “murder”.
