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 a short report on the interview of Christian Amanpour of CNN with Hassan Rouhani at the UN.
Ms. Amanpour has also visited Iran in the past and interviewed former president Khatami, but she has never interviewed Khamenei, for the simple reason that he is not accountable to anyone in the world and does not answer for his acts at all.
Ms. Amanpour has told Rouhani that there was a possibility of him meeting with president Trump, but Rouhani has replied that Trump has already asked to see him more than seven times but he has refused, because he does not see any point in holding a “useless meeting” with Trump which would not solve any problems from his point of view.
The same repetitive nonsense statements from Mr. Rouhani that begs the question that why is he not prepared to meet with Trump? Is he afraid of a dialogue with Trump? Why should Ali Khamenei hold Iran and the Iranian people hostage to his hatred of USA for the last 30 years?
Even Khomeini had made negotiating with US conditional and never said never. Why should we not speak to the US if we blame it for everything? Why should we not speak to the Israelis? The Palestinians who are their adversaries are talking to them. We have no war with Israel.
In any case, how on earth can you confront them if you do not want to make peace with them? With your zero value money and reputation in the world?
In his speech at the UN president Trump has said that since the beginning of the new sanctions the Iranian regime has walked back on many fronts and is now facing the struggle of the Iranian people for a better future at home.
I leave the full analysis of Trump’s speech on Iran to our expert Dr. Mohsen Sazegara who will be our usual guest of every Thursday tomorrow.
In the meantime, I must praise the tenacity and strength of Nasrin Sotoudeh in her struggle even from inside her prison cell in Iran.
She has written a moving letter to her son Nima, telling him that she wished to be at home to put his school uniform on as he has started the new academic year in Iran.
She has hoped for a day that she returns to her home and family and the regime of ignorance, repression and corruption meet its demise in Iran.
On that day we will be outside Evin prison to welcome her and the likes of Abdulfattah Soltani who are at the forefront of our people’s struggle for freedom and human rights.
