We begin tonight’s program of A Window to the fatherland with Dr. Alireza Nourizadeh reading one of his poems from his collected works.
Dr. Alireza Nourizadeh:
Before the rest of the program, I wish to offer my sincere condolences to my close colleague and friend Abbas Pahlavan for the sad passing away of his dear wife Nahid.
Today is the first day of the new academic year in Iran and we will watch a few video clips about the occasion and compare the pre and post-revolution state of Iran’s education system which has been almost destroyed by this tyrannical and ideological regime.
Today is also the birthday of Iranian legendary traditional singer Mohammad Reza Shajarian, as well as those of the late musicians Abdulvahab Shahidi and Parviz Yahaghi and the poet Manouchehr Atashi.
It is also the anniversary of the birthday of the most bloodthirsty man, Ruhullah Mousavi Khomeini, who from the day he stepped into Iran he kept murdering and killing people up until he died.
The Islamic republic regime has never accepted any responsibilities for the calamities that it has brought onto Iran and the Iranians for the last 40 years.
If the national currency’s value falls it blames Saudi Arabia; if there is a shortage of minced lamb meat it blames Israel.
And now it has blamed the Saudi Crown Prince Mohammad Bin Salman for the Saturday killing of several Revolutionary Guard soldiers, citing his comment of last year that he would take the battle into Iranian soil if the Iranian regime continues with its nefarious regional actions.
No other country knows the wicked nature of the Iranian regime better than the Saudis.
In 1988 the Revolutionary Guards had plotted to take over the Mecca by rioting and causing disturbances but when the Saudi security forces reacted they fled the scene and scores of innocent people were killed in the ensuing clashes.
I condemned the terrorist act of Saturday in Ahwaz in no ambiguous language and would repeat my statement that the Al Ahvazi Front’s claims have no place among the Iranian Arabs who are among the most patriotic people of our country.
I also blame the Revolutionary Guards for this tragedy as they were directly responsible for the security of the day but their members were among the first people to flee the scene.
They are only good at cutting the throats of innocent dissidents and bombing the defenseless buildings of our Kurds.
Ahwaz will always remain part of our fatherland of Iran and our Arab brothers and sisters will enjoy the benefits of a free and democratic Iran of tomorrow!
