00:00:00.000 under torture. So for more, it's a pleasure to welcome human rights activist Goldie Gamari
00:00:06.480 joining us now from Canada. Goldie, thank you so much. So the world is waiting to hear the exact
00:00:11.760 details in this framework memorandum of understanding. And Donald Trump describes
00:00:16.520 the current leaders in Iran as strong and smart. It seems it's business as usual inside Tehran 1.00
00:00:23.520 itself with these executions over the anti-regime protests in January. Your reaction
00:00:29.140 to what is happening right now, your thoughts? I mean, it's difficult to gauge what's happening
00:00:36.580 behind the scenes because obviously we haven't seen the text of the MOU. The one thing I can
00:00:42.100 say is that for the Islamic regime, victory is judged and measured by survival. So every day 0.99
00:00:49.720 that the Islamic regime survives, they consider that a victory, and it gives them, you know, 1.00
00:00:55.100 one more day to continue their jihad and exporting their Islamic revolution around the world. 0.89
00:01:01.100 I think it's important to note also that within the Islamic regime itself, Islamic regime supporters
00:01:09.540 are very angry, and they view the officials who are planning on signing this MOU as traitors to
00:01:17.400 the Islamic regime, traitors to Khamenei, the one that was executed back on February 28 or
00:01:23.820 assassinated. Thanks to Israel, by the way, for that. And they're calling for the deaths of 0.98
00:01:28.660 Arakchi and Qalibov. So we are seeing internal fractures and divisions within the Islamic regime.
00:01:35.720 However, from the Iranian perspective, you know, for us, you know, you're absolutely correct. The
00:01:40.960 The Islamic regime is executing innocent Iranians every day under false, you know, false confessions that are made under torture. 0.84
00:01:51.300 This is how the Islamic regime has oppressed the Iranian people for the last 47 years. 0.77
00:01:55.880 So while I don't think that whatever deal President Trump is making is good for the Islamic regime, 0.95
00:02:02.180 At the same time, from the Iranian angle and the Iranian perspective, we want to see the Islamic regime overthrown as soon as possible. 0.87
00:02:11.280 Because, you know, His Royal Highness, the Crown Prince of Iran, Reza Pahlavi, said in a statement he put on X today that dealing with the Islamic regime is not going to get you anywhere. 0.94
00:02:21.580 If you deal with the Islamic regime, it's just going to empower them, make them feel like they're smart, strong, whatever the case might be. 0.87
00:02:28.620 So ultimately, we would like to see the Islamic regime exterminated off the face of the earth, 1.00
00:02:33.900 but we are still seeing a slow collapse. I think we're just going to have to wait and see 0.99
00:02:39.300 what the text of this MOU is and who exactly from the Islamic regime is planning on signing it. I
00:02:45.860 would be very interested to see who's going to be signing that MOU. Much speculation as to who
00:02:51.240 would be doing that on behalf of the Islamic regime. Goldie, President Donald Trump vowed
00:02:57.860 back in January to the Iranian people that help was on its way. What are you hearing from people
00:03:03.720 inside Iran now? What is the sentiment like from the people that you are in contact with on a
00:03:09.580 regular basis? Well, people inside occupied Iran, I mean, they weren't happy with the ceasefire.
00:03:16.180 What people are telling me is that they would like to see the United States and America 0.58
00:03:20.300 continue its humanitarian operation against the Islamic regime, because ultimately the Iranian
00:03:26.440 people, they're unarmed. I know President Trump has said that he tried to send weapons in through
00:03:32.320 the Iraqi militia Kurds, but they never got there. That's because the Iraqi militia Kurds, 0.95
00:03:39.040 they're basically communist paramilitary terrorist proxy groups. So that didn't get there. But,
00:03:46.920 you know, President Trump has moved a lot of assets in the area. So the message I have
00:03:51.680 from inside of occupied Iran is two.
00:03:53.900 The first one is, you know, arm the Iranian people,
00:03:57.060 give the Iranian people a fighting chance
00:03:58.960 to overthrow the regime.
00:04:00.460 And number two, they would like to see
00:04:02.300 the United States and Israel continue
00:04:04.220 the military operations against the Islamic regime.
00:04:07.660 They're saying, don't make a deal with the regime.
00:04:10.160 The regime is not something that, you know,
00:04:12.480 can be reformed.
00:04:13.680 It's not something that can be fixed. 1.00
00:04:15.320 The Islamic regime is like a cancer, 1.00
00:04:18.200 and the only way to cure cancer 1.00
00:04:19.760 is to eradicate every single cancer cell.
00:04:23.140 And the ideology within the regime remains the same as we speak.
00:04:27.800 Goldie Gamari, live from Canada, as always, appreciate your time.
00:04:31.600 Thank you very much for being with us on the rundown.
00:04:33.840 Be well.
