Jamshid Chalangi:
In tonight’s program we will discuss the issues of the strike by Iran’s lorry drivers as well as the latest news of the uprising in the city of Kazeroun.
Our guests tonight are Dr. Alireza Nourizadeh and Dr. Ghassem Shole Saadie.
Dr. Alireza Nourizadeh:
Before anything else allow me to commemorate the anniversary of the liberation of Khoram Shahr during the war with Iraq, when our fellow Iranians heroically fought to take this part of our fatherland back and offered so many young lives to achieve this.
However, 28 years after that heroic action, the incompetent ruling Islamic republic regime has completely failed to rebuild this still war torn city, and yet has spent hundreds of millions of dollars to rebuild the southern Lebanese towns that were destroyed by the Israelis in a war that the Hezbollah and its leader Hassan Nassrullah have admitted that they initiated it and later regretted it.
In no other country in the world you will see such things that are happening in Iran under this despotic regime.
Just look at the city of Kazeroun. It is a major Iranian city and its population have asked for certain and rightful demands from the government, but because the regime has squandered the wealth of our people it does not have the financial means to respond to their demands and instead kills them on the streets.
There are more than 250,000 lorries in Iran and they make up a powerful transport industry. They are now on a national strike and the question is why should the regime allow this to happen without having a solution to their demands at all. The answer lies in the fact that all those thieves connected to the regime who have stolen the wealth of the Iranians through bogus banks and credit companies have fled the country and the regime is now falling apart and has no solution to any of the numerous problems of the country.
God bless Mohammad Reza Shah Pahlavi, because he left Iran as he dis not wish to see the death of any of his fellow Iranians. But this regime is willing to kill all Iranians to keep its grip on its corrupt and bloody power.
This is a regime with no future at all and must go. And the sooner it goes the better for Iran and the world.
Jamshid Chalangi:
Some people say if the regime is overthrown Iran will become a “second Syria”.
Dr. Ghassem Shole Saadie:
I do not agree with this kind of comments. Those who argue this know nothing about conditions of Iraq or Syria. The Iranian culture is very different. We are not a revengeful nation and the symbol of our nation is peace and love and to care for humanity. The symbols of many of our neighbors are a sword. They even dance with a sword. In Yemen they dance with a sword hidden under their shawl.
Look at this Mr. Assad. He is so comfortably killing two to three hundred people every single day and he has been doing that for the last six or seven years nonstop.
The nature of many of the conflicts in the Arab world is a Sunni against Shia war. We do not have a Sunni regime in Iran. Our Sunni brothers and sisters have the same culture as the rest of the Iranians. The Iranian Kurds are Sunni Muslims.
I do not know why they make such misleading comments about Iran supposedly becoming another Syria. Even during the revolution the very loyal national army to the Shah sided with the people. Our people are not violent and would not go for a civil war just to achieve their demands.
Dr. Alireza Nourizadeh:
The Syrian civil war is a legacy of its bloodthirsty rulers. Their violent rule has made the nation resort to violence. I even think the Basij militias in Iran are not murderers and will side with the rest of the Iranians when the right times comes to get rid of this regime.
Dr. Ghassem Shole Saadie:
The Iranian regime is now facing numerous crises all at the same time and the most important one of them is that it lacks legitimacy. The US sanctions and pressure will further weaken and threaten its foundations and coupled with the people’s struggle, especially our women’s struggle, it will face its eventual fate.
I once wrote an open letter to ayatollah Khamenei and told him that when you apologize to the nation it means that you are not fit to rule over them.
The so-called reformists have failed in their test and they are now part of the problem and have a parasitic life that feeds from the regime.
