Goldie Ghamari - ASK AN IRANIAN ANYTHING ABOUT IRAN ｜ YOUTUBE MEMBERS EXCLUSIVE Q&A

00:00:00.000 A

00:00:30.000 Thank you.

00:01:00.000 Thank you.

00:01:30.000 Thank you.

00:02:00.000 Well, hello, everyone. Welcome to a very quick live stream. It's not

00:02:29.920 going to be too long, only about maybe 30 to 40, 45 minutes, depending on how long we have.

00:02:39.160 Welcome, everyone. So I promised you guys that I would do a little bit more sort of

00:02:45.120 YouTube members appreciation videos, because many of you have subscribed to my channel

00:02:52.160 as members to help, you know, support my channel and run the channel. And I appreciate that very

00:02:57.800 much. But you know, one of the things that I never want to do is gatekeep information, right? So

00:03:03.860 my purpose here isn't really to get members in order to gatekeep information to like exclusive

00:03:13.000 stuff, right? That would defeat the whole purpose of my advocacy and what I'm trying to do. So I've

00:03:18.540 come up with a compromise. And the compromise is so I'm making videos that everyone can watch. So

00:03:24.800 this video is being broadcast on all of my social media platforms that i you know usually broadcast

00:03:31.920 on with the caveat that only um youtube channel members can participate in the live stream uh in

00:03:41.440 the live stream chat so this way um you know youtube members can have the benefit of you know

00:03:48.240 being a youtube member and you know one of the perks but at the same time everyone can still

00:03:53.760 watch the live stream and have access to the information that I'm providing. So having said

00:04:01.700 that, let's get started, guys. This is totally unscripted. And you basically have me for the

00:04:10.060 next 30 minutes. So any questions that you have about Iran, the Islamic regime, how things are

00:04:18.820 going, my show, my YouTube channel. I'm at your disposal. Let me just go through some of the

00:04:27.480 comments here. So you know what, I really appreciate how everyone is saying durud. I love

00:04:32.980 that. Like that makes me so happy. Like everyone is just saying durud. And I appreciate that,

00:04:40.020 right? Because that's durud is actually the proper way to say hello in Persian. So let me just go

00:04:47.220 through some of your comments here um i know this was sort of you know last minute unscripted um

00:04:54.260 oh my gosh why does milk come in a bag in canada i mean that's not really about iran but i mean i

00:05:01.600 don't know i don't know um why doesn't milk come in a bag in the united states that's what i want

00:05:07.520 to know uh also you guys don't have ketchup flavored chips either and that's weird that's

00:05:14.100 weird like how can you how can you even like trust a country that doesn't have ketchup flavored chips

00:05:20.080 you know what I mean I'm joking I'm joking I actually don't know I don't know why um

00:05:25.060 but uh you know all I can say is that whenever I'm in the United States it's like a weird version

00:05:33.120 of Canada it's like the upside down version of Canada so that's pretty much the the Canadian

00:05:39.260 um the Canadian in me that's sort of coming out so major says milk comes in bags in the U.S.

00:05:49.260 only in cafeterias we so we can actually I mean this has nothing to do with Iran but since you

00:05:54.560 asked like like you you can buy um milk like this like this is what it looks like 0.73

00:06:03.380 okay like I don't know why this is so weird for you Americans here let's go let me just share the

00:06:11.280 screen um so here let me do it like this there you go so yeah this is what milk in bags looks like

00:06:26.000 like you um you know it looks like that and usually there's like a package of like two or

00:06:33.140 three in there and then there that's what like the milk bag looks like and then you buy these

00:06:39.820 like specific like jugs for the milk and then you just like cut the corner right so that's what

00:06:46.740 milk in a bag looks like here that's pretty much what it looks like so i don't know i don't know

00:07:22.360 you know, I never ever push like channel memberships or super chats or anything like

00:07:27.700 that um because you know every like you never know what someone's financial situation is like

00:08:09.340 not Persian, but I'm used to saying Motichakiram. Yeah. For thank you. What's the alternative? I

00:08:18.040 think you say Sipas, which I have heard in Kurdish. Yeah. So Kurdish and Persian share a lot of

00:08:24.060 similar words. So, yeah, I would say that, you know, if you want to be, like, if you really,

00:08:29.280 if you really want to impress Iranians, use seppos, just say seppos, and that would definitely 0.88

00:08:36.960 impress, impress people. So, yeah, absolutely, go with that one. Let's see. 0.99

00:08:45.720 all right let me go to some of your other comments here so

00:08:54.060 you guys are all having a conversation with yourself in the live stream and no one's

00:09:01.800 asking me questions that's okay oh okay fine look look we we got a question so mark dennis

00:09:07.780 fritz says is there a need for non-iranians to help with rebuilding iran after iranians have

00:09:14.860 regain their freedom. Yes, absolutely. Absolutely. Guys, remember, so Iran is one of the last

00:09:23.020 untapped economies in the entire world. The potential for the economy in Iran is somewhere

00:09:33.400 around a trillion dollars, okay? So there's an economy worth one trillion dollars that is

00:09:38.740 untapped. And yes, absolutely, when Iran is free, you know, and I wouldn't say right after the

00:09:45.740 Islamic regime is overthrown, because, you know, there will be a little bit of period of instability.

00:09:51.100 You know, us Iranians, we're also going to have to make sure that we take care of, you know, 0.99

00:09:55.980 all of the Durkhas and, you know, kick out all of the terrorists and, you know, they can go back to 1.00

00:10:01.880 whatever, you know, third world jihadi hellhole they came from. So, you know, I would say give 1.00

00:10:08.900 it about like maybe a year or so. But yes, absolutely. When Iran is free, and we're looking

00:10:15.420 to rebuild, absolutely. There's going to be a lot of opportunities for not just Iranians, but for, 0.94

00:10:22.200 you know, non Iranians to to get involved and participate in that. And I think it's going to 0.61

00:10:27.860 be amazing. It's going to be it's going to be fantastic. And I think any sort of outside help

00:10:33.940 would definitely be appreciated. And then question two, will it be possible to immigrate to Iran and

00:10:40.760 become naturalized? So I don't know about that, because that would depend on what sort of

00:10:48.140 government policies, the new government implements? So I can't answer that question.

00:10:59.480 I do know that prior to 1979, there were a lot of non-Iranians who lived in Iran long term.

00:11:11.320 They weren't citizens, but they were kind of like permanent residents, right? So kind of like

00:11:18.040 you know, like in the United States, you have like a green, green, green card, green card

00:11:22.160 permit or something like that. So, I mean, given what I know, actually, let me, let me look this

00:11:28.820 up. This is a good question. I think, I think, um, okay. So this is interesting. Look at this.

00:11:54.800 Let me let me let me pull this up for you guys. Let me pull this up. This is a very interesting question. So according to AI, because I, you know, I don't know the answer off the top of my head, but according because I've never like bothered to look into this.

00:12:15.740 So, prior to 1979, non-Iranians could become citizens. The framework for Iranian nationality codified in the Civil Code, mainly Articles 976 through 991, and largely remaining in force post-revolution, although, again, the Islamic regime doesn't really respect the Civil Code, provided two primary pathways, naturalization and marriage.

00:12:43.260 So naturalization. Non-Iranians could apply for Iranian citizenship by meeting the following conditions. The applicant had to be at least 18 years old. They had to reside in Iran for five years, either consecutively or intermittently. They must not have escaped military service in their home country, could not have any criminal convictions for felonies or major misdemeanors in any country.

00:13:07.400 dual citizenship okay so this is interesting so iran generally so prior to 1979 iran prohibited

00:13:16.060 dual nationality so naturalized citizens were often expected to renounce their previous

00:13:21.880 citizenship and then marriage citizenship acquisition based on marriage was highly

00:13:27.800 gendered under the pahlavi era laws foreign women a non-iranian woman who married an iranian man

00:13:34.820 automatically acquired Iranian citizenship, foreign men.

00:13:39.000 A non-Iranian man who married an Iranian woman did not receive automatic citizenship.

00:13:44.560 While foreign-born husbands could apply, the naturalization process was lengthy,

00:13:49.080 required the same five-year residency, and was rarely approved in practice.

00:13:53.020 So this difference here, this goes back to sort of the Islamic influence over Iran

00:14:03.420 that the Shah was trying to get rid of, because remember, in 1963, when the Shah of Iran gave

00:14:10.600 women the right to vote, the Muslim clerics at the time didn't like that. And in fact,

00:14:18.100 you could even say that the Shah giving Iranian women the right to vote in 1963 is what triggered

00:14:26.920 the um what triggered the the process let's call it that eventually led to the 1979 islamic

00:14:37.180 revolution so the fact that women had the right to got the right to vote in 1963 is what started 0.65

00:14:45.540 this whole you know durka jihad um by the muslim clerics because the shah was trying to fight all

00:14:53.280 of these various laws. And he was trying to bring about equality. And I guess he was never able to

00:14:59.460 do so. So this is interesting. So it seems that prior to 1979, there was an option for non-Iranians

00:15:08.440 to become naturalized citizens, however, with some conditions, right? Now, does this mean that

00:15:18.000 Iran, after the fall of the Islamic regime, is going to have these same exact codes and laws?

00:15:24.980 I have no idea. That's going to be up to the transitional government. That's going to be up

00:15:31.080 to the Iranian people, you know, when they're drafting the Constitution and the Civil Code 0.98

00:15:35.740 and all of that, right? So I can't predict what's going to happen in the future. I just, I can't,

00:15:44.140 I can't say that.

00:15:45.200 I can't, I don't know.

00:15:47.040 But what I can say is that Iran has always been, well, prior to the Muslim Nazis taking over, Iran was very foreigner friendly. 0.73

00:15:56.300 And the one thing that I can guarantee is that when Iran is free, it will continue to be foreigner friendly. 0.56

00:16:04.840 And, you know, people who are not Iranian absolutely can, you know, live there for long term or whatever the case might be.

00:16:12.440 Okay.

00:16:12.720 Okay. Skyscraper. Any advice about finding an Iranian girlfriend? No, this is not a dating site. So I can't give you any advice on that. But if you have any questions about geopolitics or terrorism or what's currently happening in the Middle East with respect to the Islamic regime, I can answer those questions.

00:16:36.640 But in terms of dating advice, this is the wrong YouTube channel.

00:16:41.920 Sorry.

00:16:43.300 Okay.

00:16:45.840 Oh, Christian, Evan Christian says here,

00:16:49.260 Durud, where can I read more about the Islamic regime?

00:16:52.200 Mullahs not being Iranians have only found that Khomeini and Khomeini being highly mixed. 0.62

00:16:59.760 Wow.

00:17:00.440 okay so i mean most of the information on this stuff um is in is in persian like you don't really

00:17:08.840 um hear about this too much in english and you can't really read about it too much in english

00:17:14.920 um the i mean this kind of stuff is pretty much common knowledge and commonly accepted amongst

00:17:22.520 Persian language, you know, narratives and analysts and, you know, whoever else. So, you know, our

00:17:31.520 conversations and discussions in Persian amongst, you know, Iranians amongst Iranians, we know all

00:17:36.440 this stuff. In terms of English, though, I don't know. Let me make a note of your super chat.

00:17:45.520 I'll see if I can find some English language. I mean, I'll see if I can find some English

00:17:53.600 language sources, but that might be kind of hard to find. Let me just make a note here. So, June.

00:18:14.880 Okay, I'll see if I can, I'll have to do some digging into that and see if I can find some

00:18:23.340 research or, you know, some, some documents or some articles, even if there's something,

00:18:28.480 you know, online that's in, in Persian, you know, and then we could like Google translate it or

00:18:32.240 something. But thank you for that. I'll, I'll definitely look, look into that for you.

00:18:36.840 um okay so let's go to the next one so just chillin says so when the shah take over will 0.79

00:18:50.180 the code laws be replaced completely or with a constitution of sorts so um my understanding

00:18:57.600 i i'd have to look it up so actually we can look this up together because i have the iran

00:19:05.300 Prosperity Project. If I'm not mistaken, just off the top of my head, my understanding is that

00:19:12.520 when the Islamic regime falls, the current sort of constitution that, you know, currently governs 0.73

00:19:22.380 the country will remain in place insofar as it does not impact or affect human rights. So basically 0.62

00:19:34.020 anything that relates to Islam or inequality between men and women or between different

00:19:40.520 religions or ethnic minorities or whatever, like all that's going to be canceled. But the rest of

00:19:46.040 the sort of constitution or, you know, the laws, you know, the laws that basically deal with sort

00:19:51.520 of the day-to-day functioning of the country, those are going to remain in place temporarily

00:19:56.940 just because you can't have like a complete free-for-all, right? Like you can't have a

00:20:01.700 complete power vacuum. So what's going to happen is that the, like the, the laws that are basically

00:20:09.980 helping to sort of keep the country going, they're going to remain in place only in so far as

00:20:18.100 the time when the transitional government, you know, works on the referendum, right? Because

00:20:27.620 The first thing is that the Iranian people are going to have a referendum to determine whether they want to have a constitutional monarchy or a republic.

00:20:38.200 And then once that is determined, then, you know, there's going to be sort of elections to establish the first majlis for Iran after the fall of the Islamic regime.

00:20:54.380 And then that majlis is basically going to work on, you know, writing whatever laws or whatever it is based on the framework that has already been pre-approved by the Iranian people.

00:21:09.940 So I'm thinking some codes and laws will probably be completely overhauled. Some might probably stay. But that's something that will be discussed sort of within the transitional government. And of course, after the referendum is held to determine what sort of democracy Iranians want.

00:21:33.940 But the one thing that we're all committed on, you know, regardless of whether people want a republic or a constitutional monarchy, is that we're all committed to these four guiding principles.

00:21:45.200 The first one, of course, is maintaining the territorial integrity of the country.

00:21:49.760 Number two is respect for all human rights.

00:21:52.560 And, you know, that's sort of based on the international treaties.

00:21:58.480 You know, there's one for, you know, civic rights and then there's one for like economic, social justice rights. Right. So, you know, basically like the globally accepted human rights. Right. Freedom of freedom and equality for everyone. That's the second point.

00:22:15.540 The third point is, of course, complete and total separation of religion and state, right?

00:22:23.640 So everyone is committed to a totally secular democratic society.

00:22:30.460 And then the fourth principle, of course, is respect for democracy and the ballot box.

00:22:35.580 So those are the four guiding principles.

00:22:38.940 um okay and

00:22:44.140 garth says

00:22:48.040 oh yeah they would make it easy for diaspora family of diaspora to immigrate easily

00:22:55.500 oh yeah absolutely i mean my passport passport uh hasn't been updated in like 20 years right

00:23:02.660 that's basically the last time that i visited um oh just chilling do current women tourist

00:23:08.920 to Iran have to wear a hijab or are they exempt? No, they have to wear a hijab. So every single 1.00

00:23:14.580 woman over the age of nine, you know, that's basically girls, regardless of religion or 1.00

00:23:22.280 nationality, they have to wear hijab. It's mandatory. That's because the country is under 1.00

00:23:28.900 Sharia law and Sharia law doesn't care about your religion. Sharia law cares about Sharia law and 0.92

00:23:35.520 Islam. Um, so yeah, everyone has to, um, all women have to wear hijab. Now, of course you've seen, 1.00

00:23:43.280 you know, kind of more recently, the Islamic regime puts out these propaganda videos

00:23:47.600 of, um, you know, uh, Iranian women who are going around, walking around without hijab.

00:23:54.320 That's all propaganda. They do this constantly. They do this constantly whenever, um, things are 1.00

00:24:00.320 getting rough and, you know, like they feel like they're losing or they're feeling very scared.

00:24:07.980 They'll put out these propaganda videos and those propaganda videos are not meant for Iranians

00:24:13.260 because we Iranians, we already know that it's all propaganda and lies. But they put out these

00:24:18.020 videos to fool non-Iranians into thinking that Iran is a normal Western country and, you know,

00:24:24.460 everyone is free. So they put these out and this is all part of their taqiyya, right?

00:24:30.320 So you're literally watching taqiyya in action because hijab, mandatory hijab for all women, is one of the core foundational pillars of the Islamic regime, okay? 0.88

00:24:42.180 But their, you know, ideology and their religion or whatever, it basically says that they are allowed to lie if lying is for the purposes of furthering their jihad and, you know, furthering their goals of Islamic takeover. 0.87

00:25:03.180 So that's why in times of high stress or high conflict, they're willing and they're eager to put out these propaganda videos of women not wearing hijab because for them, under their religious ideology, it's allowed to lie if it's for the purposes of furthering their jihad. 0.65

00:25:26.720 So in their minds, they're like, OK, well, if we want to further our jihad, we have to survive.

00:25:33.580 How do we survive? OK, we pretend like we're a normal country.

00:25:38.740 But as soon as the world's eyes turn away, then they go back to murdering women for showing a strand of hair, just like they did to Masa Amini in 2022.

00:25:52.960 Excellent, excellent question.

00:25:54.700 um the major actual is there a brief summary of the plan for the water crisis yeah so uh actually

00:26:02.880 that would be in the iran prosperity project um so if i'm not mistaken i believe that there is a

00:26:09.740 whole section um within the iran prosperity project on um how to deal with the water crisis

00:26:19.380 And if I'm not mistaken, I believe it involves Israel because of Israel's technology and what they've developed.

00:26:28.280 And in fact, I believe it was last year, King Nizal Pahnavi's team went to Israel as a formal delegation.

00:26:37.120 And they did a whole tour of like the water desalination facilities of Israel.

00:26:43.540 It's also something that Prime Minister Netanyahu has spoken about in his messages to the Iranian people.

00:26:50.400 So, yes, there is absolutely a plan for that.

00:26:55.300 Definitely check out the Iran Prosperity Project.

00:26:57.940 I feel like it would be in there.

00:26:59.980 If it's not in there, let me know and I'll find out where it is for you.

00:27:03.380 But I do know that there's a plan 100% because King Rizal Pahlavi did send his team to Israel

00:27:10.220 a few, I think it was last year, if I'm not mistaken.

00:27:15.700 Okay.

00:27:17.440 The Mischief Guide says, Goldie, do you think Trump has it in him to go the distance?

00:27:24.120 The regime can't be negotiated with.

00:27:25.960 They need to be rooted out.

00:27:27.040 It's going to get ugly.

00:27:28.180 I believe President Trump is going to go the distance. 0.87

00:27:30.940 I mean, the deal that President Trump wants the Islamic regime to make is not a deal that they can accept. 0.95

00:27:39.940 There is no way, there is no way in, I honestly, I just, I cannot see the Islamic regime accepting to have U.S. troops go into occupying Iran and remove the nuclear dust. 0.78

00:27:58.400 I just can't see that happening. 0.95

00:28:00.940 If the Islamic regime was going to voluntarily and willingly allow Americans to go in and remove the nuclear dust from the underground nuclear facilities that the Islamic regime had been building in secret and then the United States boom-boomed, that would pretty much effectively be surrender. 0.95

00:28:23.760 And the Islamic regime for the last 47 years has been talking about America, the great Satan, Israel, the little Satan. 0.96

00:28:30.080 I can't see that happening. 0.96

00:28:31.840 So the deal that President Trump has put on the table is a deal that the Islamic regime just cannot accept. 0.73

00:28:37.260 Because the Islamic regime knows that if it accepts the deal, it's pretty much surrendered. 0.78

00:28:43.460 And that's why I think that what's happening right now is the Islamic regime is in a checkmate position. 0.87

00:28:49.660 because no matter what move it makes it's going to lead to its collapse regardless of what choice 0.53

00:28:57.600 it makes right so president trump is just putting all the pressure and that's why president trump

00:29:03.480 says he's not in a rush when he says he's not in a rush it doesn't mean that he's not in a rush to

00:29:08.900 end it i mean obviously everyone wants to end this as soon as possible but he's saying that

00:29:13.420 not for your ears and not for my ears he's saying that for the ears of the islamic regime

00:29:18.820 because the Islamic regime is being crushed both militarily,

00:29:22.060 but more importantly, it's being crushed financially and economically.

00:29:26.520 Remember, it's still losing $500 million a day.

00:29:30.980 That's huge.

00:29:32.940 Its economy is in shambles.

00:29:34.980 President Trump and Marco Rubio spoke,

00:29:36.580 both of them spoke about that a few days ago.

00:29:39.600 So when President Trump says he's not in a hurry,

00:29:43.780 that's meant for the Islamic regime. 1.00

00:29:46.780 The Islamic regime is in a hurry. The Islamic regime is in a rush to try and end this situation because it is being slowly crushed. And pretty soon something's going to happen that will make the Islamic regime collapse. 0.80

00:30:04.560 um so yeah that's what president trump is pretty much waiting for
