00:00:00.000 I have some breaking news coming out of occupied Iran.
00:00:04.100 For the last 88 days, the Islamic regime occupying Iran had effectively turned an entire country of nearly 90 million people into a digitally sealed prison,
00:00:17.620 cutting ordinary Iranians off from the outside world in one of the largest and longest internet blackouts in modern history,
00:00:26.680 while the rest of the world could only guess what was actually happening inside the country.
00:00:34.200 The Islamic regime occupying Iran shut down the internet on February 28,
00:00:40.000 the day that the conflict between the United States and Israel versus the Islamic regime began. 0.66
00:00:47.140 The exact same day that Ali Khamenei and his top IRGC commanders were exterminated like the terrorists that they are, 0.78
00:00:55.920 And videos and images started coming out of occupied Iran, of Iranians celebrating and cheering. 0.60
00:01:04.680 As soon as those videos started coming out, the Islamic regime immediately shut down the internet.
00:01:11.820 And for almost three months, families abroad woke up every morning not knowing whether their loved ones inside Iran were alive, arrested, injured, or disappeared.
00:01:24.660 because WhatsApp stopped working, Instagram vanished,
00:01:30.140 Telegram channels went dark, VPNs were blocked,
00:01:33.300 and even the most basic communication with the outside world,
00:01:37.820 like social media posts on X, became pretty much impossible.
00:01:43.160 And during those 88 days of silence, while the world moved on with its daily life,
00:01:48.120 The Islamic regime had near total control over the flow of information coming out of occupied Iran, which meant protests could be hidden, arrests could happen in darkness, crackdowns could happen without videos leaking online, executions could happen behind closed doors, and the Iranian people were isolated psychologically from the rest of humanity. 0.59
00:02:13.860 But there was also another war happening during those same 88 days, a propaganda war. 0.56
00:02:21.040 Because while Iranians inside occupied Iran were being silenced by the Islamic regime,
00:02:26.880 diaspora Iranians outside of Iran, like myself, have been relentlessly attacked, mocked, smeared,
00:02:34.820 and delegitimized online by supporters of the Islamic Republic and their propaganda networks.
00:02:41.720 For nearly three months, Islamic regime loyalists, terrorists, and paid influence networks pushed the narrative that Iranians outside Iran are somehow disconnected from the people inside the country.
00:02:58.400 They claimed that diaspora Iranians do not understand the Iranian people anymore.
00:03:04.280 They claimed exiled Iranians are exaggerating the suffering inside occupied Iran.
00:03:11.720 They claimed that activists abroad were projecting their own political desires onto a population that is supposedly loyal to the Islamic regime.
00:03:21.320 And they pushed this shameful narrative aggressively because the Islamic regime understands something very dangerous.
00:03:30.580 If Iranians inside occupied Iran and Iranians outside occupied Iran are united, the Islamic regime loses control of the narrative. 0.81
00:03:40.780 because one of the Islamic regime's oldest survival tactics has always been to psychologically
00:03:46.980 separate the Iranian people from each other. It's the classic divide and conquer strategy.
00:03:55.280 They've been attempting to divide Iranians inside Iran from the diaspora. They tried to convince 0.94
00:04:02.640 people inside the country that the outside world has abandoned them and to convince the outside
00:04:08.520 world that exiled Iranians are somehow out of touch, radical, emotional, or disconnected from
00:04:15.920 reality. But now, something historic is happening, because the internet is finally beginning to
00:04:23.860 reconnect. And I still don't know the reason why, and I don't trust the Islamic regime, so I'm 1.00
00:04:30.920 monitoring the situation very carefully. However, now that the internet is starting to slowly 1.00
00:04:38.200 reconnect, suddenly, after 88 days of silence, ordinary Iranians in occupied Iran are once again
00:04:47.000 speaking for themselves. And what are Iranians inside occupied Iran saying? Not the Islamic
00:04:54.980 regime propagandists, not those who have been given white SIM cards in order to promote the
00:05:01.520 Islamic regime narrative. Actual, real, ordinary Iranians who have to come online using VPNs,
00:05:09.980 who have to use fake names, fake photos, fake identities, because in occupied Iran, 0.78
00:05:17.500 posting on social media, if it's against the Islamic regime, well, that's illegal. And Iranians 0.64
00:05:24.320 have been jailed and executed simply for the crime of speaking out on X and other social 0.54
00:05:31.500 media platforms. But let me tell you something. This is how brave Iranian people are. Because as
00:05:38.900 soon as the internet started reconnecting, I'm checking their messages. And they're saying the
00:05:45.780 exact same thing that those of us outside of Iran have been saying for months. They have the exact
00:05:53.760 same anger. They have the exact same pain, the exact same hatred toward the terrorist and
00:06:02.620 illegitimate Islamic regime that's occupying Iran, the exact same exhaustion, the exact same desire 0.78
00:06:10.720 for freedom, and the exact same demand for dignity, secularism, normalcy, and most importantly, 0.83
00:06:19.120 an end to the terrorist Islamic regime occupying Iran. And this completely destroys the Islamic 0.97
00:06:26.940 regime's propaganda narrative that there's somehow a disconnect between Iranians inside
00:06:32.760 and Iranians outside of occupied Iran. Because there is no disconnect. There is only one Iranian
00:06:41.180 nation. One people, one pain, one flag, one leader. And now, after 88 days of forced silence, 1.00
00:06:53.400 the voices coming out of occupied Iran are once again proving that us diaspora Iranians were
00:07:00.320 never speaking over our compatriots in occupied Iran. We were echoing them. We were amplifying 0.91
00:07:08.540 their voices. And the moment the internet began reconnecting, something extraordinary started
00:07:15.560 happening. We started receiving messages, thousands and thousands of messages, emotional voice notes,
00:07:26.080 videos, posts, desperate updates, Iranians speaking to the world again for the very first time after
00:07:36.240 nearly three months of silence. Many are asking whether anyone outside Iran even remembered them.
00:07:45.100 But there's one message that we have been seeing from them and we have been receiving
00:07:50.760 from our compatriots inside occupied Iran over and over again. Please tell the world what happened
00:07:59.560 to us. Do not let the world forget about us and do not let the world abandon us.
00:08:06.240 But there's something darker underneath all of this that many people outside Iran don't yet
00:08:11.120 understand. Because we Iranians, we don't really trust this sudden internet restoration at all.
00:08:19.520 And tonight, we need to ask the real question. Is this actually the Islamic regime backing down? 0.78
00:08:27.460 Or is this a trap? Because the Islamic regime has spent decades using controlled openings, 0.98
00:08:34.360 temporary freedoms, and calculated moments of fake moderation to reduce pressure on itself 0.82
00:08:41.420 whenever public anger reaches dangerous levels. And don't forget that right now, there are
00:08:49.300 supposedly negotiations happening between the United States and the Islamic regime occupying
00:08:55.880 Iran. And many Iranians are now asking whether this announcement and whether this decision
00:09:03.860 to reopen the internet is genuinely about restoring freedom of communication
00:09:09.940 or whether this is a desperate attempt by the Islamic regime to appear reasonable to the 0.56
00:09:16.380 international community after global outrage over the blackout. Some people fear something
00:09:23.000 even more sinister. They fear that the Islamic regime may be allowing limited internet access
00:09:29.780 in order to lure dissidents, activists, journalists, and ordinary frustrated Iranians
00:09:35.860 back online so they can monitor them, track them, identify protest networks,
00:09:42.460 harvest private communications, and rebuild surveillance operations after nearly three
00:09:48.060 months of unrest. Because in the Islamic Republic occupying Iran, nothing is ever simple. It is, 0.98
00:09:56.000 after all, a totalitarian Islamic dictatorship where human rights are absolutely meaningless, 0.99
00:10:04.020 where an Iranian can be killed at any time for any reason by anyone who is part of the Islamic 0.66
00:10:11.680 regime. So every reopening comes with suspicion. Every promise comes with fear. And every Iranian
00:10:21.640 understands that in a dictatorship built on surveillance, censorship, and repression,
00:10:28.260 even reconnecting to the internet is dangerous. Tonight, I'm going to show you and translate some
00:10:35.520 of the very first messages now emerging from occupied Iran after 88 days of silence. Because
00:10:42.340 what ordinary Iranians are saying right now reveals more about the true condition of the country
00:10:48.080 than any government statement or propagandist ever could.
00:10:53.740 I'm Goldie Gamari, and you're watching The Goldie Show.
00:11:06.260 So let's get right into it.
00:11:08.940 Earlier today on X, I posted in Persian,
00:11:12.180 friends, welcome back.
00:11:14.100 I missed all of you so much.
00:11:15.880 If you're willing, and only if it's safe for you, please leave a comment and tell me what
00:11:22.140 message you want me to translate into English on your behalf.
00:11:26.360 I'll share it tomorrow in my live program. 1.00
00:11:30.040 Long live Iran, long live the Shah. 0.98
00:11:33.060 Now, I am actually planning on doing a full live stream on this very topic. 0.74
00:11:39.380 But as you can see, even though I posted this on X just a few hours ago, it's already blowing
00:11:45.860 up and I'm getting tons and tons of messages. So I figured I would share a few of them with you so
00:11:52.420 that you can get a sense of what Iranians are saying. And make sure that you like and subscribe
00:11:58.360 to my channel and turn on your notifications so that when I do my full live stream with all the
00:12:04.000 messages that I've compiled, you can catch it all. So let's just dive right in. So here is one of my
00:12:12.640 friends from inside of occupied Iran. How can you tell if someone is in occupied Iran?
00:12:18.960 There's a few ways. The first thing is that Iranians who are circumventing the Islamic regime
00:12:26.720 by using VPNs and filters to come online, well, they're not going to actually have their location
00:12:34.260 be in Iran, especially not on X. So for example, this account here, you can see it says account
00:12:42.220 based in Germany. But here's the mistake that a lot of people and unfortunately, a lot of low IQ
00:12:48.260 Islamic regime propagandists make. They see that it says account based in Germany, and they assume,
00:12:54.880 oh, this person's not inside of occupied Iran. Well, that's because this person is using a VPN.
00:13:01.600 You see the shield here. So the shield says, one of our partners has indicated that this account
00:13:07.140 may have used a proxy, such as a VPN, which may change the country or region that is displayed
00:13:14.140 on their profile. This data may not be accurate. Some internet providers may use proxies automatically
00:13:20.520 without action by the user. Why do Iranians in occupied Iran need to use VPNs? That's because
00:13:30.000 posting on X is actually illegal. Only the Iranians who are approved by the Islamic regime 1.00
00:13:38.940 are able to post online with their name and their face. That's how you can tell who's supporting the 0.88
00:13:49.440 Islamic regime and who isn't. Because the actual Iranian freedom fighters, they can't come online
00:13:57.080 with their real name and their real face because doing so is literally a death sentence. And 0.93
00:14:03.880 unfortunately, there are many Iranians who have been imprisoned by the Islamic regime. There's
00:14:11.400 also Iranians who have been executed by the Islamic regime for going online and circumventing
00:14:18.860 the Islamic regime's rules and for speaking out against the Islamic regime.
00:14:24.980 that's the difference between a totalitarian dictatorship like the islamic regime occupying
00:14:31.900 iran versus a normal western secular democratic country in occupied iran posting on x can get you 0.77
00:14:41.520 killed posting on x can get you executed that's the kind of hellhole that we iranians have been
00:14:50.260 living in for the last 47 years. But anyways, let's go back. So this account responded. So now 0.97
00:14:59.740 I'm going to share some of the messages with you. So he says, Durud Golsajan. Greetings, Golsajan.
00:15:07.460 Golsajan means dear. So greetings, Golsajan. On behalf of myself and my family, I say,
00:15:14.300 We only accept the Pahlavi dynasty, that's His Royal Highness King Reza Pahlavi, and we don't
00:15:22.100 care at all what the world thinks or what it has in mind. The people of Iran do not want the Islamic 0.99
00:15:29.740 Republic, and rest assured, they will eventually bring down this regime and bring back their king 0.93
00:15:36.820 in exile. Javitsha. Javitsha means long live the king. And then there's a number of people
00:15:44.540 who have responded. This person says, I too, from within my homeland, hold the same belief
00:15:53.140 around us. All of us hold this belief. This is the last battle. He will return. Long live
00:16:01.160 the Shah. This person as well, you can see. This one is actually easier to tell because 0.99
00:16:09.860 this account, even though the VPN says Poland, you can tell that they're connected via the Iran
00:16:17.720 Android app. So if a user in occupied Iran is accessing X via an Android phone,
00:16:27.180 it shows up usually. So you can tell that they're in Iran. If they're using an iPhone,
00:16:34.800 if they're using an iPhone, it won't say Iran iPhone app or something like that,
00:16:42.040 because iPhones are illegal in Occupy Iran. So there is no Iran app store for the iPhone. However,
00:16:50.200 anyone who's using an Android app. So this is, you know, a pretty easy way to tell who's in Iran and
00:16:58.300 who isn't. All right, let's go to the next one here. So let's go to some more responses. So this
00:17:05.400 person is saying, the world doesn't know which side it's on. Iranians have made up their minds 0.99
00:17:11.720 and the entire world will kneel before their will. Our Shah will return. Javid Shah, King Rizal 1.00
00:17:19.440 Pahlavi stop executions in Iran. Oh my gosh, look at this. So this person, this Iranian actually
00:17:27.320 changed their profile picture to Amu Lindsay. Guys, so Amu Lindsay means Uncle Lindsay. So
00:17:35.720 Senator Lindsey Graham is actually very, very popular inside of occupied Iran because he has
00:17:42.900 worked tirelessly to raise awareness about the Iranian people's fight for freedom. And
00:17:49.260 he has met with His Royal Highness King Nizapah Nabi. And if you recall, during the Munich
00:17:55.640 Security Conference, Senator Graham went out on stage during a demonstration held by Iranians
00:18:03.500 in Munich. And to show respect to Iranians, he was waving the lion and sun flag.
00:18:19.260 So, Iranians, we pretty much adopted him.
00:18:29.000 We call him Uncle Lindsey or Amu Lindsey.
00:18:32.360 And that's basically a sign of respect.
00:18:34.060 And it's basically saying that he's one of us.
00:18:37.720 He's part of the family.
00:18:39.600 And again, so this person is using an iPhone.
00:18:45.160 Okay.
00:18:45.540 That's why it says Austria Android app.
00:18:49.020 Right.
00:18:49.260 so that's really important. This person says, my family and I only and only and only accept Riza
00:18:59.420 Shah II. Again, Netherlands with a VPN and United Arab Emirates app store. So this means that this
00:19:12.220 person bought their iphone from the uae and then this person says jovi chah long live the king
00:19:20.540 are you starting to notice a pattern yet let's go to the next post okay so mary
00:19:29.580 mary is also in occupied iran and this one is easy to tell she's using an uh she's using an
00:19:35.900 android phone so you can see iran android app however she's using a vpn which says bulgaria
00:19:43.100 so let's see what mary has to say so she says dear gulsa my message is that the blood of our
00:19:50.460 children is still on the streets and not for sale no matter how much any agreement tries to prolong
00:19:57.980 the life of the uh so ja stands for jomhuriyya islami which means islamic islamic republic
00:20:07.340 so no matter how much any agreement tries to prolong the life of the islamic republic we 0.93
00:20:14.140 will stand against it and we don't want it and won't allow it in honor of the blood of our dear 0.99
00:20:20.460 ones and in hope for the children of tomorrow the only one we accept and choose is our dear king
00:20:27.180 Reza Pahlavi. And besides him, any clown they hoist up, whether Arabs or Westerners, 0.70
00:20:34.460 we will pull down sooner or later. This land is ours and we decide what we want and what we don't 1.00
00:20:41.740 want. Forever and a day, everlasting Iran, long live the king. Starting to notice a pattern here. 1.00
00:20:49.740 let's go to the next post again this person you can tell their vpn is germany but they're connected
00:21:02.700 via the iran android app guys i haven't heard from these accounts in so long like three months you
00:21:11.840 you have no idea how much i have missed seeing these accounts on my feed and timeline i mean
00:21:18.940 it's just, it's been so lonely. It's been so lonely, but now they're all back. So let's see
00:21:25.520 what this account is saying. So greetings, dear Gosa. From those of us inside Iran,
00:21:33.140 tell us which other countries should help and which should not. We are fighting for our
00:21:37.660 leadership. Reza Shah Pahlavi II. So King Reza Pahlavi II. And freeing and rebuilding our Iran.
00:21:46.380 Javid Shah and then this one is we fight we die we take back Iran do you see how every message 0.96
00:21:54.980 every message is about we don't want the Islamic regime we want the Islamic regime to be overthrown 0.80
00:22:01.440 and we want our Shah back we want King Reza Pahlavi back
00:22:06.420 all right let's go to the next message Durud this person says hello
00:22:13.660 Which means long live a united Iran
00:22:18.620 And then this person says
00:22:22.840 Our first hope is in Prince Rizal Pahlavi
00:22:27.160 And second in Bibi
00:22:29.600 That's Prime Minister Netanyahu
00:22:32.280 Long live the king
00:22:34.700 So when I tell you guys 1.00
00:22:36.840 That Iranians in occupied Iran 0.99
00:22:39.180 Support Israel
00:22:41.320 and Iranians in occupied Iran do not hate Jews and we're not anti-Semitic, this is what I'm
00:22:49.100 talking about. Because that anti-Semitic jihadi ideology, that's foreign to us Iranians. That's
00:22:56.800 not part of our culture or heritage or civilization. The Iranian civilization goes 1.00
00:23:02.960 back thousands of years, well before Islam was invented. And Iranians and Jews have a shared
00:23:10.040 biblical and historic friendship going back to the time of Cyrus the Great. And we've never,
00:23:16.980 ever forgotten that. And 47 years of a foreign Islamic jihadi occupation where they bring their 0.92
00:23:25.600 never-ending jihad against Israel, that's foreign to us. That's not an Iranian thing. 0.92
00:23:33.080 That's like their thing. That's the ideology of the occupiers. So here you can see 0.97
00:23:39.320 They're making it very clear
00:23:41.820 Our first hope is in Prince Reza Pahlavi 0.98
00:23:43.980 And second in Bibi 1.00
00:23:45.000 Because Iranians trust Israel 0.67
00:23:48.040 You know why?
00:23:49.840 Because Israel has been the only country 1.00
00:23:52.220 In the last 47 years 1.00
00:23:53.820 To always stand on the side
00:23:57.160 Of the people of Iran 0.82
00:23:58.860 Against the Islamic regime 0.56
00:24:01.020 Another post 1.00
00:24:05.780 we inside the country have no way but to defeat this regime
00:24:12.700 no way so what I so what she means is we inside the country must have no way but to okay so if I
00:24:23.880 was gonna let me let me read the original okay we inside the country have no other path
00:24:35.080 but to defeat this regime or will die with honor or become free eventually. There's no third way
00:24:44.600 because the third way means unrestricted slaughter of the youth and becoming North Korea. And in the 1.00
00:24:51.760 end, the complete destruction of Iran. Believe me, we have no other option but to defeat the 1.00
00:25:00.600 Allah's. And they end it with Javid Shah, long live the king. And that's exactly what I've been 1.00
00:25:08.960 saying from the very get-go. There is an ocean of blood between Iranians and the Islamic regime. 1.00
00:25:16.020 And the only way, the only way to end the situation is for us to move forward as a nation, 1.00
00:25:23.320 to overthrow the Islamic regime, to defeat them, and to kick them out of our country 1.00
00:25:28.620 once and for all 1.00
00:25:30.920 and that's the exact same thing
00:25:33.200 that Iranians in occupied Iran are saying
00:25:35.660 but again
00:25:36.900 they're saying
00:25:37.960 long live the king
00:25:40.640 this person says
00:25:44.480 long live the Shah
00:25:48.880 and enduring Iran 1.00
00:25:51.200 which means long live Iran 0.94
00:25:52.960 another message
00:25:56.620 Greetings to you. According to the prince, the people of Iran only have themselves and nothing more. We must only rely on ourselves and, of course, procure the necessary tools.
00:26:11.480 Javich Shah. It's true. Ultimately, the revolution is the responsibility of the Iranian people.
00:26:22.120 Absolutely. We are the ones that need to finish the job. But it doesn't mean that we can't
00:26:30.200 get outside help. In fact, no revolution has ever been successful without outside assistance.
00:26:37.720 look at recently what happened in Syria that happened because they had the assistance of
00:26:45.820 Turkey the American revolution itself would not have been successful without the assistance
00:26:54.360 of France so think about that think about that just because we're asking for help doesn't
00:27:02.520 necessarily mean that we need other people to finish the job. But when you're dealing
00:27:08.220 with a brutal Islamic dictatorship that literally brings in outside proxy militia groups, 0.88
00:27:15.940 they're outside terrorist forces, they use military-grade weapons and mass slaughter over 0.69
00:27:22.220 40,000 innocent unarmed Iranians in two days alone, we can't do it on our own. Because Iranians 1.00
00:27:30.240 have been rising up for 47 years, and every single time we've risen up, we have been brutally 1.00
00:27:37.020 quashed. So yes, it is up to us, as His Royal Highness King Rizal Pahlavi says, it is up to us
00:27:44.880 to finish the job. But it doesn't mean that we can't get outside help. And that's, that could
00:27:54.300 make all the difference that could be the difference between life and death for the iranian people
00:28:06.620 oh someone is just saying hello oh so so this person as as well um west asia android app so

00:28:31.820 the messages and also some compilations of other things for my live stream tomorrow evening so
00:28:37.580 here's the final message greetings to you the prince said that technically it is possible to
00:28:45.740 bring the internet to iran but it requires political support please convey this matter
00:28:51.980 to foreigners and if possible ask them to support the people inside Iran with thanks Javid Shah.
00:29:03.100 Long live the king.
00:29:07.340 There you go. Are you noticing a theme? Are you noticing a pattern?
00:29:13.660 Iranians, those who are able to come back online safely and securely and secretly using their 0.94
00:29:21.900 fake identities in order to avoid arrest torture and execution by the islamic regime 1.00
00:29:30.220 they're literally risking their lives to come online and tell the world we don't want the 0.98
00:29:36.800 islamic regime we don't want to live under this brutal islamic dictatorship anymore we want a free 0.99
00:29:44.400 secular and democratic society. But most importantly, Iranians and occupied Iran are 0.96
00:29:52.900 saying that they only trust one person to transition Iran from an Islamic dictatorship
00:30:00.420 to a functioning secular democratic society. And that's His Royal Highness, the Crown Prince of
00:30:08.420 Iran or as some people like to call him including myself the Shah of Iran Reza Pahlavi II
00:30:17.300 and despite all attempts by the Islamic regime and their supporters their terrorist jihadi
00:30:27.060 Islamist supporters to delegitimize the voices of those Iranians who have been outside of occupied
00:30:34.400 Iran, to try and claim that us diaspora Iranians know nothing about what our compatriots are going
00:30:42.400 through or thinking or wanting inside of occupied Iran. Despite all that propaganda,
00:30:50.240 we Iranians have never been stronger. We have never been more united and we have never been
00:30:57.520 more determined to overthrow the terrorist islamic regime and this 47-year nightmare 1.00
00:31:07.360 return our king to iran and work together to rebuild our once beautiful country 1.00
00:31:16.480 nothing and no one will ever take that away from us especially not the brutal islamic regime 0.98
00:31:23.840 because we as an Iranian nation and identity we have existed for thousands of years and we will 0.89
00:31:32.560 exist for thousands years more after the eradication of the Islamic regime. 47 years of
00:31:41.140 brutal Islamic occupation cannot and never will erase the identity, culture, heritage, language
00:31:51.880 And most importantly, the monarchy of an ancient civilization, in fact, one of the world's oldest civilizations that has existed for thousands and thousands of years.
00:32:06.520 And now you know.
