00:05:52.800 another pro tip for anyone who's not from the Middle East Iran and the United States used to

00:05:57.400 be huge allies until 1979 when Islam took over and turned our country into a seventh century

00:06:03.160 Islamic hellhole governed by Sharia law. In fact, prior to 1979, a lot of Americans used to travel

00:06:08.900 to Iran because it was the top destination in the Middle East for American travelers.

00:06:13.920 It wasn't enough for those Islamic terrorists to take over my country of Iran. They're now coming

00:06:18.880 into your country and bringing their Islamofascist ideology with them. And when we Iranians try to

00:06:24.900 call it out, they accuse us of Islamophobia. And now you know. There you go. So there's an example

00:06:31.260 of, you know, one of my viral pro tips. Again, over 2.5 million views on Instagram alone. You

00:06:37.900 know, I think it's a similar number on TikTok. Now, if you are wondering where you can purchase

00:07:21.240 excited to to share it with you. You know, it's always been one of my life goals to write a book.

00:07:27.440 I was just waiting for, you know, the the right inspiration. And as soon as I saw that my, you

00:07:33.380 know, Iranian here pro tip videos are going viral across the world, I you know, it was like, this is

00:07:39.140 it, this is, this is the right time to do it. And this is the topic that I need to do it on. So for

00:07:43.620 those of you who want to learn more about the Middle East, who, you know, maybe don't know too

00:07:53.220 and check it out. Highly recommended. All right, guys. So we are going to go into, you know, we're

00:08:00.180 going to dive into Iran today. And I found a very interesting documentary. Well, sorry, not a

00:08:07.500 documentary. It's an interview. I shouldn't say documentary. So this is a very interesting

00:08:10.680 interview. And it's only from, you know, about like, you know, three, four, four months ago,

00:08:17.560 So this is from the summer, and it only has 70,000 views, guys, 70,000 views.

00:08:25.480 So we are going to watch this because this is a very important interview with His Royal Highness, King Reza Pahlebi.

00:08:34.300 He is the Shah of Iran in exile.

00:08:37.640 He is also the leader of the Iranian national uprising, the official opposition.

00:08:44.300 And, you know, he he just answers questions, you know, very blunt questions.

00:08:49.560 And, you know, one of the questions that a lot of people have is, will the Islamic Republic survive?

00:08:55.760 Will the dictatorship survive? And, you know, what comes next?

00:08:59.900 What comes after? Now, we do have a plan for the day after, and I will be getting into that plan in future episodes.

00:09:06.500 But, you know, this interview is incredibly eye-opening because it answers a lot of the questions that people have about Iran, about Iranian society, and also why Iranians are supporting His Royal Highness Rizal Pahlavi II.

00:09:26.120 So let's dive into this here. I'm just going to read the description here for you.

00:09:30.700 So in this exclusive interview, Bill Deputy Editor-in-Chief Paul Ronjheimer speaks with Riza Pahlavi, the exiled son of the late Shah of Iran.

00:09:42.320 For many Iranians in exile, he represents a figure of hope and a leading voice of opposition to the Islamic Republic.

00:09:51.540 Pahlavi, who now lives abroad, is calling for the regime's downfall.

00:09:56.320 But can he deliver on that promise?

00:09:58.620 oh gosh I hate this and can the son of an authoritarian monarch so right away we know

00:10:06.340 that you know again they're trying to portray the Shah as this authoritarian figure but if you have

00:10:13.820 watched my evening live streams where we go through documentaries about the 1979 Islamic

00:10:20.820 Revolution, where we talk about Iran prior to 1979, we have established very clearly that the

00:10:29.100 Shah was not an authoritarian figure. In fact, Shahanshah Aryamer, God bless his soul,

00:10:36.060 gave women the right to vote. So if he was an authoritarian figure, why the heck would an

00:10:41.220 authoritarian figure give women the right to vote in 1963? The four women in Switzerland and Sweden

00:10:48.740 and Portugal had the right to vote. So again, with this tired trope that these people put out there

00:10:59.920 without actually understanding Iranian history or really understanding the truth about what

00:11:06.600 happened. And again, this is why my book is going to be so incredibly important because it counters

00:11:12.860 There is this sort of disinformation and misinformation.

00:11:16.920 But having said that, let's get started with this document, with this interview.

00:11:22.400 It's about 55 minutes long, so let's watch it.

00:11:25.200 And of course, I will be providing commentary as we go along.

00:11:31.020 Prince Reza Pallavi, you're here in Germany for a conference, but let's start talking about what happened in the past weeks.

00:11:37.680 was there a day where you were hopeful that the regime could really fall it's always been to me

00:11:46.580 a matter of when as opposed to if sorry i just want to say one thing before we begin so this

00:11:52.040 um this interview happened at the end of july that is uh when we had um our historic gathering

00:12:00.960 in munich this was at the end of july and over 500 iranians including myself from around the world

00:12:07.160 We gathered basically to show our solidarity, right, for overthrowing the Islamic Republic and, of course, for supporting His Royal Highness King Reza Pahlavi to lead the official opposition.

00:12:23.360 Now, the only reason there were 500 people there is due to, you know, space limitations.

00:12:30.120 But, you know, hundreds of thousands of Iranians actually wanted to attend, but were unable to.

00:12:34.600 But, of course, the event was live streamed and it was viewed by hundreds of millions of Iranians in Iran and around the world.

00:12:42.680 All right, let's begin.

00:12:44.180 Prince Reza Pallavi, you're here in Germany for a conference, but let's start talking about what happened in the past weeks.

00:12:50.560 Was there a day where you were hopeful that the regime could really fall?

00:12:57.520 It's always been, to me, a matter of when as opposed to if.

00:13:02.060 And the simple reason for it is because if historically you look at totalitarian regimes, ultimately they succumb.

00:13:09.520 We saw the end of the Soviet Union and we've seen an end to many unwanted regimes,

00:13:14.220 And particularly when we have to face a regime that is purely ideologically a regime that

00:13:20.660 tried to export this ideology at the expense of its own people.

00:13:24.440 And from the very beginning, Iranians were faced with so much discrimination that came

00:13:29.560 along with it, so much repression that came along with it.

00:13:33.220 And when you look historically that this regime is a combination of the worst kind of regimes

00:13:38.820 we ever had on the planet.

00:13:39.980 Whether it was Hitler and his behavior or the Soviet Union or South Africa, in any aspect of fascism or totalitarianism or racism, this regime embodies all of the worst examples in history that we have had.

00:13:59.820 of the it's you know what it's so incredibly true and not a lot of attention is given to the

00:14:06.880 crimes against humanity um that this islamic republic is is responsible for and you know

00:14:13.720 every single thing that they accuse the late shah of iran of doing it's something that they

00:14:19.420 themselves have done um there's no documentary evidence or proof of of the late shah of iran

00:14:26.520 ever doing anything, right? But they themselves created these lies about the Shah, but yet they

00:14:33.560 are the ones who have actually been doing that to Iranians for the last 47 years, right? No one

00:14:39.960 ever talks about the fact that the Islamic Republic rapes Iranian women before executing them

00:14:46.500 because, you know, they view it, you know, in their religious Islamic ideology, they believe

00:14:54.080 that virgins go to heaven. So to make sure that Iranian women who are executed for the crimes of,

00:15:00.760 you know, blasphemy against Allah or whatever nonsense, before they hang them, they will

00:15:06.580 rape the women. And, you know, the Islamic clerics governing Iran say that this is allowed and it is

00:15:12.520 halal to rape women before executing them because they want to make sure their souls don't go to

00:15:18.360 heaven. That is how evil and barbaric and demonic the Islamic Republic truly is. And people don't

00:15:26.700 know about this stuff. Like, they don't understand. They just, you know, because the things that the

00:15:34.160 Islamic Republic does and has been doing to Iranians is so incredibly horrific that it's

00:15:42.160 It's even difficult to comprehend how barbaric and savage these Islamists truly are.

00:15:49.660 The worst type of regime.

00:15:51.660 So can you imagine the response that people of that country would have?

00:15:55.660 And I think the world as well when they look at it.

00:15:57.700 You were very vocal during the bombings and you said people should go out and stand against

00:16:05.820 the regime.

00:16:06.820 But we didn't see many people demonstrating on the streets.

00:16:10.280 We didn't see a movement.

00:16:11.740 Is that because the regime is still very strong and people are afraid?

00:16:16.540 Or is there still a lot of support for the regime, what you don't see?

00:16:21.060 Well, I mean, during the military campaign when Iran was targeted and people, in fact, had to leave the city,

00:16:29.980 you cannot imagine that under the circumstances you can have organized street demonstrations.

00:16:34.900 I mean, that's a very good point, right?

00:16:37.240 Like when when the IDF was attacking Islamic Republic military bases, you know, during the 12 day conflict, the IDF was actually telling Iranians, you know, where to evacuate from.

00:16:52.420 And, you know, basically they were saying, like, stay inside, stay in, you know, residential areas and, you know, stay away from certain places.

00:16:58.100 So, you know, how do people expect, you know, why did people expect Iranians to go out and demonstrate while the IDF is targeting Islamic regime military bases?

00:17:09.020 Like it just it makes no sense, right? Like no rational actor is going to go out and do that.

00:17:13.620 And so for people to unfairly put that on Iranians as if, you know, just, you know, you guys didn't go out, therefore that means you don't want regime change. I think that's a very, very idiotic argument to make because no one in their right minds is going to want to go out.

00:17:31.540 I mean, like, what do these people want to see?

00:17:33.320 You know, Iranians go out and be murdered, right?

00:17:37.780 I mean, Iranians are rational actors here.

00:17:40.780 They're not like these third world barbaric savages who go out and, you know, yell Allahu Akbar whenever they see bombs being flown overhead, right?

00:17:48.400 Like, that's what Gazans do because they're, you know, a very savage jihadi terrorist society.

00:17:52.980 But Iranians are not like that.

00:17:54.740 And that's why you did not see those sorts of images coming out of Iran, right?

00:18:00.100 Although, a few weeks after, now, as I speak to you, again, we see various diverse forms of

00:18:08.100 manifestations that Iranians keep on going. There's been, as of late, some demonstrations

00:18:15.540 in the north of Iran for, again, water shortages. I remember the Caspian. This is one of the most

00:18:22.420 water-related, ample regions of our country. I mean, if you go to the north of Iran, you think

00:18:31.320 you're in Thailand. So lush and so forest and water. And yet, there are water shortages even

00:18:37.020 in that province, as we speak. People are faced daily with electricity ruptures. No gas has been

00:18:44.080 delivered. They cannot even live, let alone work. So this interview is from July 30th.

00:18:49.940 The water, the water shortage situation is now so bad that the Islamic Republic is at the point of even like now they're they're they're trying to claim that it's so bad that people need to evacuate the capital city of Tehran.

00:19:03.700 Um, some people, some people believe that the reason the Islamic Republic, um, wants to get

00:19:11.720 people to, um, leave the capital city of Tehran is because, um, they know that if, if people in

00:19:19.560 Tehran, uh, rise up to overthrow the regime, the Islamic regime is done for. So, um, there are

00:19:25.980 certain people who are claiming that this water crisis, this water shortage is being done

00:19:34.260 deliberately in order to suppress the Iranian people and to prevent them from overthrowing

00:19:41.540 the Islamic Republic. I wanted to point out there. Lionel, when he said Iran like Thailand,

00:19:49.600 he was referring to the environment, right? So when you go to the northern part of Iran,

00:19:53.900 it's very like subtropical you know rainforest type you know forests and a lot of water so

00:20:00.380 that's what he means he's like he's like environmentally the northern part of Iran

00:20:04.380 is similar to Thailand but even there the provinces are experiencing a water shortage because

00:20:10.340 the Islamic Republic is deliberately keeping water from the Iranian people and this is something that

00:20:17.260 keeps on going yes the regime was severely emasculated which is good because it equals

00:20:22.700 the playing field for people.

00:20:24.520 So the momentum is still there, and I'm sure you've been witness to it as a reporter, as

00:20:29.500 a journalist, that there are always ebbs and flows when there are campaigns of that nature.

00:20:33.940 But the momentum keeps going, and as I explained to you earlier, before we came on air, it's

00:20:42.260 a multi-pronged campaign.

00:20:43.940 It has various components, and many wheels are in motion as I speak to you, and a lot

00:20:49.020 of what we will discover is, as a result of the regime's weakening, and now that the playing

00:20:54.840 field has been more equal for the people, there will be more opportunities now to galvanize

00:20:59.200 and orchestrate themselves.

00:21:01.040 The regime's repressive apparatus has been severely weakened.

00:21:04.440 Not that they will keep on repressing, they do, in fact, they're taking revenge on the

00:21:08.060 people right now in some form or shape, but reason more for people to realize that this

00:21:12.840 is an opportunity not to miss.

00:21:14.340 What do you hear from inside the regime? Do you have contacts? Do you have people telling you what's really happening?

00:21:21.280 Yes, and not only do we reach out, but now we've been reached to that defection campaign that has begun.

00:21:28.100 When I announced it almost a month ago when I was in Paris during a press conference, we have received a lot of inquiries.

00:21:36.080 and that data is right now being as i speak to you analyzed as exactly what ranks in the military

00:21:41.920 or paramilitary or the civilian bureaucracy are reaching out and i think that guys that's really

00:21:47.200 important and you know one of the reasons that you're not hearing a lot about um these snowballing

00:21:53.360 defections within the country is because um you know whoever's responsible for that is keeping

00:21:59.360 it under wraps for obvious reasons right but we have started to see signs um of of of various

00:22:08.160 factions who have defected um and people are now starting to um post images on social media

00:22:20.720 um anonymously through anonymous accounts where you know they are in uniform but you know their

00:22:27.520 their face is hidden and any sort of like identifying um anything that can identify

00:22:32.080 them is hidden but you know they're they're sending out messages saying that we have defected

00:22:37.520 and we are ready and uh we are seeing more and more um evidence of that on social media of course

00:22:45.280 that's not being reported in the mainstream media it's not being reported in the news but um there

00:22:50.560 There is this growing underground movement of people who are defecting to to join the Iranian national uprising, which is, of course, being led by His Royal Highness Rizal Pahlavi, Iran's Shah in exile.

00:23:05.380 So that is, you know, a critical, critical aspect to what is currently happening.

00:23:10.160 And guys, like I said, I said this from the beginning and I'll continue to say this.

00:23:15.600 I truly believe that the way that the Islamic Republic is going to fall, it's not going to be from people just going out into the streets.

00:23:23.480 OK, because in I cannot recall a single time in history where a totalitarian dictatorship was overthrown by people going to the streets.

00:23:33.760 Why? Because the totalitarian dictatorship has access to the weapons, has access to the funding, has access to the military, right? The only way totalitarian dictatorships have been overthrown is through an internal military coup d'etat, which was then supported by the people.

00:23:50.640 So, you know, quote me on this, bookmark this, save this. But I'm telling you guys, the way that I see the Islamic Republic being overthrown is through an internal military coup d'etat.

00:24:03.960 And then once the military gains control of, you know, government bases and basically takes control of the country, that's when the military is going to signal to the Iranian people, you know, we've we've, you know, successfully had a military coup d'etat.

00:24:19.560 it is now safe to come into the streets and help us overthrow the Islamic Republic.

00:24:25.140 So that's how I see this playing out.

00:24:29.800 The reason this is important is because outside of what people are doing in terms of organizing themselves in demonstrations,

00:24:36.780 but a big part of my strategy post-regime and transition is what fills the gap once this regime is no longer there.

00:24:43.940 And most of these elements that can then be those who fill the gap are important in that equation.

00:24:50.480 And we are talking to them and reaching out to them and see what we can do today.

00:24:53.700 How do people from inside the regime defect? I mean, how does that work?

00:24:58.200 Well, the first mechanism is to provide them with a secure way of communicating

00:25:01.800 because we need to protect their identity for obvious reasons.

00:25:05.720 So that's a delicate matter. So we're trying to do it very cautiously and taking all the security precautions.

00:25:11.020 business. But how does it work? Do they call a number on?

00:25:14.020 There's a safe platform through which they can contact and identify themselves and the

00:25:21.080 way we can communicate with them. So that safe platform was through a QR code, right?

00:25:27.860 So let me see if I can find something about it because it was advertised here. What was

00:25:37.100 it like um wait let me go to my search here so it was basically um

00:25:58.300 okay

00:25:58.620 it was it was a qr code um all right the the posts are only in farsi but anyway so what happened is

00:26:10.920 during the summer um uh he he basically had a message um in farsi and then in farsi right he

00:26:20.520 was saying to um people inside of iran you know there is an opportunity for you to defect and to

00:26:27.260 join us you will see a qr code that is going to be scanned on iran international tv do not trust

00:26:34.700 any other link do not trust any other source do not trust any other qr code do not trust any you

00:26:40.940 know so-called like screenshotted images or photos of it um the only safe and secure place to scan

00:26:48.300 the qr code is when you see it being broadcast live on iran international tv and so that's exactly what

00:26:56.140 happened um and that was a very important campaign and that campaign is you know continuing

00:27:02.700 and as a result once we engage with them then the next step is what exactly can they be doing

00:27:09.260 in their respective position uh when it is time for them to actually surface and openly

00:27:14.780 uh you know manifest themselves i mean clearly when you're dealing with this kind of regime

00:27:19.500 you're trying to protect your assets within the country as much as possible because you don't

00:27:24.540 want them to prematurely expose themselves. So it's a matter of timing that also comes into play.

00:27:29.420 Having said that, you have, of course, a visible part of the opposition,

00:27:32.780 but you also have an invisible part of the structure that have to remain

00:27:36.780 protected in their identity so that at the right time they can do whatever they're supposed to do.

00:27:40.780 So the situation inside Iran with the regime, how is it developing right now?

00:27:50.460 we sense a lot of uh dimmer demoralized forces uh the the the supreme leader himself has been

00:27:58.940 hiding in his bunker uh our sources he still is by the way so the supreme dictator of the

00:28:05.420 islamic republic ali khamenei to this day is still hiding in a bunker and he only comes out like

00:28:12.300 very very rarely you know for like half an hour or something to give some you know islamist jihadi

00:28:20.060 speech and then he goes back into his bunker like the supreme dictator is not having a good time

00:28:25.180 right now tell us that he's been heavily medicated he's in a very bad shape psychologically very

00:28:31.500 depressed and receiving special treatment for that apart from his normal ailment so so these things

00:28:37.100 are not looking good for the top echelon of the leadership it's really crumbling around him

00:28:42.060 there are internal uh rivalries already starting in terms of accusing one another or posturing

00:28:47.500 versus one another, it has become quite fragile and at the same time weakened.

00:28:54.620 So whatever it is that they are right now calculating, I think part of it is whether

00:29:00.380 or not they want to still maintain that element of pressure by intimidating people or threatening

00:29:06.540 people or once again trying to cut them off from the rest of the world in terms of communication,

00:29:14.780 things like that.

00:29:15.860 the elements within the system now is surpassing it. The economic crisis in Iran continues to be

00:29:22.420 going on. As I said, within the summertime, summer months, extreme heat and temperature,

00:29:27.820 there's no gas, there's no electricity, there's no water. And that situation by itself makes it

00:29:33.140 much more unstable and the regime has no answer for those questions. So that at the same time,

00:29:38.820 dealing with that external pressure, they have to deal with all these problems.

00:29:42.020 problems. I think right now they're just overloaded with problems and that's why we think that

00:29:47.460 this is a moment where they won't be able to do anything any more harmful to the country

00:29:53.900 in the sense of opportunities for people to rise.

00:29:56.260 Do you know where Khamenei exactly is? His location in a bunker? Do you think he's in

00:30:01.660 a bunker since weeks, months? It's been reported that in a couple of times

00:30:09.820 was moved to a different location. We don't know exactly the specifics, but he finally came out

00:30:17.980 a little while ago to manifest himself because a lot of people, even within his own group,

00:30:22.540 would say, well, what the hell is he doing? Well, where is he? They were looking out for him.

00:30:27.500 And that was interpreted as a sign of almost like giving up. So you're playing the

00:30:35.020 psychological game as always. Do you think there was a plan for

00:30:37.900 Israel to kill him because it was reported that there was the possibility for the Israeli

00:30:43.760 military to kill him and that Trump told Israel to back off.

00:30:48.580 That seems to be the case, yes.

00:30:50.020 And I think that took a little bit of the momentum out.

00:30:53.280 One of the biggest mistakes Trump made is when he told Israel to back off a hundred

00:30:57.100 percent, like, oh, that's, that was, that was rough.

00:31:03.300 That was rough.

00:31:04.300 I don't know what Trump was thinking.

00:31:05.940 think that's where maybe the isolationists got to him but you know as you can see um since then

00:31:12.580 the islamic republic has not backed down in fact they are continuing um to engage in in terrorist

00:31:18.820 activity um against the united states they're continuing to fund their um islamic terror proxy

00:31:25.060 groups in the middle east um i don't know if president trump thought he could negotiate with

00:31:29.860 terrorists. But the one thing that myself and many other Iranians have said, you cannot negotiate

00:31:36.980 with terrorists, you cannot negotiate with the Islamic Republic. One of the core foundational

00:31:41.940 pillars of the Islamic Republic is its jihad against the West. The Islamic Republic literally

00:31:48.240 rode the waves to power on the anti-imperialist narrative that was promoted by the Islamists

00:31:55.700 and the communists and the woke progressives back in the 1970s, right? And again, if you go and watch

00:32:02.780 my documentaries, you know, what I've, my live stream documentaries here, I will, let me give

00:32:10.040 you an example here, right? So if you want to learn more about the history of the Islamic

00:32:16.480 revolution um i suggest you check out um gosh where is it i should i should i suggest you

00:32:25.020 check out this one here so um let me just pull this up for you guys so you can see

00:32:30.840 okay because i know a lot of you guys you know in my daily live streams you asked me about

00:32:36.760 the 1979 islamic revolution and you know a lot of you have questions in in the comments but

00:32:42.940 But guys, like we go over in detail what happened leading up to the 1979 Islamic Revolution several times.

00:32:52.480 OK, so what you want to do is on my channel, you know, you scroll down to where it says Iranians rate documentaries about Iran.

00:33:00.900 And I have a whole bunch here. But, you know, the one that you want to check out, if there's only one that you watch, you definitely want to watch this one here.

00:33:10.720 Okay, so it's the one it's the first one. It's the one that I've, I've rated it a three out of 10. That is a four hour live stream. Okay, so you know, you want to know more about 1979. You want to understand what led up to that. You want to understand the lies involved, the takia involved, you know, the all the propaganda from the communists and the socialists, you know, that's the one that you want to watch.

00:33:38.360 That will explain everything to you. But, you know, to summarize it, the 1979 Islamic Revolution was based on fake news that was put out by the communists and the Islamists based on their anti-imperialist narrative.

00:33:56.300 Right. So in order to understand how the Islamic Republic operates and thinks today, you have to understand the history of the 1979 Islamic Revolution and what led to it.

00:34:10.640 Right. This isn't something that happened overnight. That was something that took 40 years.

00:34:17.400 OK, so again, 1979 did not happen overnight. It started in 1941 and they slowly built up.

00:34:24.960 There was also a lot of funding from the Soviets at the time, right? So again, we talk about this

00:34:31.880 unholy alliance of the red and the black. That's where Soviet funding comes in through the Tude

00:34:40.180 Party and through the Marxist-Islamist groups. And of course, Yasser Arafat and the Palestinians,

00:34:47.920 right? They were also a part of the 1979 Islamic Revolution. So, you know, in order to understand

00:34:54.600 why you cannot negotiate with the Islamic Republic. You have to understand their motivation for coming

00:35:00.580 into power. Their motivation was incredibly anti-imperialistic. And, you know, it was only

00:35:05.300 after 1979 that you started hearing about this whole, you know, America, the great Satan and

00:35:11.960 death to America and all that stuff, because that did not exist prior to 1979. That is not an

00:35:18.260 Iranian ideology, that is an Islamic jihadi ideology, right? Like the Islamic Republic

00:35:25.140 thinks that way, not Iranians. So of course, necessarily, you cannot negotiate with people

00:35:32.380 who literally chant death to America. And, you know, their entire purpose is to destabilize

00:35:38.840 your country, and to turn it into, you know, part of their Islamic caliphate, basically.

00:35:43.640 so that's where you know president trump made um a huge mistake in in telling israel to back off

00:35:51.100 because i think a lot of people thought that this could go in fact all the way

00:35:55.320 now retrospectively uh thinking uh you know you could say that perhaps uh once you take

00:36:04.960 one person out then the question becomes who's the next person as opposed to when he's still there

00:36:09.200 weakened, enraged, and easier to target in a system that everything depends on the supreme

00:36:15.800 leader. So there are pros and cons as to whether it should be there or not be there. That's a

00:36:19.740 separate calculation. My focus, on the other hand, is that irrespective of whether Khamenei is taken

00:36:25.120 out or not, it doesn't change the nature of our struggle. It doesn't change the goal of our

00:36:31.100 campaign. The dynamics of it and the necessity for that transition remains the same, irrespective of

00:36:37.880 whether Ali Khamenei is alive or dead.

00:36:40.860 And because, you know,

00:36:41.920 there's the totality of the system once again,

00:36:44.520 that is the problem.

00:36:45.740 Not necessarily that if one individual

00:36:47.700 is replaced by another,

00:36:49.040 that would resolve the problem,

00:36:50.860 either for the regime

00:36:52.180 or change the nature of our campaign.

00:36:54.700 So these are all the side factors and variables,

00:37:01.140 but it doesn't change in any form or shape

00:37:03.720 the way we are conducting our campaign.

00:37:06.060 How do you see the strategy of the regime right now? I mean, they're trying to reach out to

00:37:12.140 European partners. They've been talking to the German foreign ministry, and to the German

00:37:18.220 foreign ministry even. They're reaching out to contacts inside the US, so it looks like they

00:37:24.380 want to talk again. How would you describe it? There's nothing new to that pattern of behavior.

00:37:29.580 If you analyze the last 40 years, every time the regime has had its back to the wall,

00:37:35.260 it has basically gone to their default strategy of buying time and part of that and that's exactly

00:37:42.220 what they're doing again right now they are buying time right it's it's the same behavior

00:37:47.100 the same pattern over again and it's literally the definition of insanity to you know repeat

00:37:53.340 the you know to have the same thing repeated and to expect different results right i mean

00:37:58.540 they've already demonstrated that they're only going to behave in a certain way and that behavior

00:38:05.020 um is terrorism right like there's nothing else they haven't demonstrated anything else and yet

00:38:10.220 people for some reason still think that they can negotiate with these islamic terrorists

00:38:16.140 that speaks to the strength of the islamic regime lobby group right that speaks to the billions of

00:38:24.060 dollars that they have invested in people around the world to act like spokespersons for them

00:38:29.900 right and they're not necessarily all iranian either there's a you know a vast majority of

00:38:34.700 non-iranians who are out there supporting the islamic republic occupying iran maybe hassan

00:38:40.940 you know the the infidel islamist you know jihadi guy he's definitely one of them like the guy's

00:38:46.140 pakistani right he's like a pakistani islamist terrorist guy who's literally defending the

00:38:53.020 islamic republic right it's not even his country and yet he's out there supporting this brutal

00:38:58.300 islamist dictatorship right you do know why because of the money because of the billions

00:39:03.260 of dollars that the islamic republic is investing in people like medi hassan like you know tucker

00:39:09.740 carlson and others right to get them to spout their islamist jihadi narrative to try to make

00:39:17.020 it seem like these people are rational actors that can be um negotiated with strategy of buying time

00:39:25.100 is trying to trick the world yet again leading them to think that maybe this time we're really

00:39:29.820 serious about negotiating with you they've done that systematically if you look at every time

00:39:34.380 they've done that which leads me to say that there's no reason for us to believe that this time

00:39:39.740 they really mean to be honest about they're serious about negotiating a problem i think

00:39:44.540 this is yet again an indication that under pressure they are letting some steam out and

00:39:51.900 giving them a false hope that perhaps this time we have an opportunity to settle the problem with

00:39:58.140 them, only in the interest of buying time. And why is the West buying that, you think?

00:40:03.660 Again, because I think there is this sort of status quo-ish mentality that has been prevailing

00:40:11.580 in Western diplomacy in general, which is all based on the initial premise of an expectational

00:40:18.700 behavior change that has lasted for the past 40 years.

00:40:22.700 If you look at it, every aspect of the foreign policy of the West in general, by the West

00:40:29.080 I mean the United States and its European allies, vis-a-vis this regime, from the very

00:40:33.820 beginning, and from the first time that sanctions were imposed on the regime.

00:40:39.280 It was not based on expecting a change of regime in Iran, or even pursuing that as an

00:40:45.020 alternative, but rather let's expect a change of behavior by this regime.

00:40:52.320 And that's why it has never worked, because the whole premise is wrong to begin with.

00:40:57.680 This regime simply cannot change its behavior.

00:41:00.700 It cannot reform itself.

00:41:02.360 It cannot adhere to the same values and principles and rationale that the Western free world

00:41:08.100 expects a government to behave like, particularly that this regime doesn't give a hood about

00:41:14.540 the Iranian people. It's not there for the benefit of its country. It's just using our

00:41:18.640 national resources, our peoples as a human ship to basically foment their strategy of exporting

00:41:26.160 their ideology from day one for the past 40 years. That's what the regime has done.

00:41:30.680 And the world needs to recognize now that the ultimate solution to the problem is not attempting

00:41:36.480 yet again to throw a lifeline to this regime and try to negotiate a deal with them as opposed to

00:41:43.640 the ultimate solution is for this regime to be no longer there.

00:41:47.460 Not only it liberates one nation, but it also resolves most of the problems you have with this regime,

00:41:53.460 whether it's the nuclear threat, radicalism, terrorism, funding of various elements,

00:41:59.480 all the way to European soil and even beyond in the Western Hemisphere.

00:42:03.220 That's what the regime has proven to do systematically.

00:42:07.160 So I think if you fall yet again for the regime's tactic of buying more time

00:42:12.660 and delaying the problem you know the rest of the problems will not dissipate it will continue to

00:42:17.620 remain let's talk about the nucleus you know i also want to like point something out you know

00:42:22.020 like like this is this is what the islamic republic is like okay so anyone who thinks that these people

00:42:27.140 are rational actors um and you can you know negotiate with them like they literally spend

00:42:33.380 money to um you know like look at this they literally spend government money to put up these

00:42:39.860 like ridiculous looking billboards right where it's like president trump is like bowing to

00:42:45.780 hominy right like do you see how uh idiotic um and just you know stupid this islamic republic is

00:42:54.980 right like this is a kind of propaganda um you know iranian people um don't have clean drinking

00:43:01.700 water don't have electricity um you know suffering from extreme poverty because you know these evil

00:43:09.860 demonic Islamic ayatollahs are stealing the, you know, money that should be going to the Iranian

00:43:16.280 people, not only are they lining their own pockets, not only are they, you know, spending it on, you

00:43:21.880 know, Hamas terrorists in, you know, Gaza and, you know, Hezbollah and all these people, they're

00:43:26.780 literally also printing, you know, billboards like this, right? What rational or logical government

00:43:34.920 does something like this. I mean, I was a politician for seven years in Canada, okay?

00:43:41.400 I was in politics for 10 years. I was an elected official for seven years. No rational, logical

00:43:48.360 government would ever approve of something like this, right? Like, you literally have to be

00:43:53.960 an insane 7th century barbaric savage to think that using government resources to print out

00:44:04.080 posters like this is rational or logical behavior, right? So when we Iranians say

00:44:10.780 the Islamic Republic is evil, and they are irrational, seventh century Islamic savages,

00:44:19.720 this is what we're talking about, because no rational government will ever use government

00:44:25.820 money to print out posters like this, right? So like, like, stop legitimizing the Islamic

00:44:32.280 Republic. Stop negotiating with them. Stop pretending like they are rational actors.

00:44:38.920 You know, stop pretending like these people are your allies or that they are not your enemies.

00:44:44.300 Like these people are evil and demonic. And it is unfortunate that there are people

00:44:48.900 like Tucker Carlson who have very, very large platforms who keep on trying to legitimize

00:44:57.440 the Islamic Republic as if it's some sort of normal, rational, misunderstood. No, there's

00:45:04.280 nothing misunderstood about them. When the Islamic Republic yells death to America, they literally

00:45:10.080 mean death to America. It is their policy to destabilize, destabilize the United States and

00:45:17.320 take over the exact same way that they destabilized and took over Iran in 1979, right? Again, remember,

00:45:24.800 I'm Iranian. My country is being occupied by the Islamic Republic. The Islamic Republic is the one

00:45:31.520 who not only murders Iranians, right? The Islamic Republic is responsible for the murder of almost

00:45:37.760 3 million Iranians in the last 47 years, okay? So they have murdered 3 million of us. No one ever

00:45:44.720 speaks about that, right? But now it's not enough for them to murder Iranians and turn Iran into a

00:45:50.780 seventh century Islamic hellhole. They are now coming after your countries too. And you guys

00:45:55.820 have to be prepared for this. You might not want war with them, but they have already brought the

00:46:01.380 war to you. They are, you know, infiltrating your societies and they are paying people like Tucker

00:46:08.560 Carlson and Mehdi Hassan and others to legitimize them and to confuse you into making think that

00:46:15.060 your own government is the enemy when meanwhile, it's actually the Islamic Republic that's your

00:46:20.460 enemy. But you will never see those people show images like this, right? You will never see them

00:46:25.020 call out the pure insanity of the Islamic Republic.

00:46:31.740 That's the reason why the U.S. bombed the facilities. What do you know about the situation

00:46:39.020 on the ground? How much is it damaged? There's different analysis on that.

00:46:43.960 But the way I will describe it is that it's been severely curtailed, but it hasn't disappeared

00:46:50.920 for two reasons.

00:46:53.000 Number one, yes, some of the nuclear sites were heavily damaged, but that doesn't stop

00:46:58.580 the regime's resolve to continue enrichment.

00:47:00.780 In fact, they declared it.

00:47:01.860 They said, we're not only going to stop it, they practically have doubled down on it.

00:47:05.480 So, so much for an expectation of full capitulation that was Donald Trump's expectation.

00:47:10.260 that there's absolutely no way possible that we would even allow that.

00:47:15.080 It doesn't seem that the regime has got a message

00:47:17.520 despite the fact that they were attacked.

00:47:19.020 So that's going on.

00:47:20.280 Number two, there's no guarantee that this regime could not acquire nuclear weapons,

00:47:25.180 even if it means by acquisition from some of the partners they have in that struggle.

00:47:30.200 So it's not a matter of them, their personal capabilities of either enrich

00:47:34.080 or be able to deploy their missile technology.

00:47:37.420 So that doesn't make the problem disappear.

00:47:40.260 because as long as they have the resources they can certainly acquire it in a different way the

00:47:44.340 problem as i said is it's a finger on the trigger at the end of the day it's the regime itself that

00:47:49.060 cannot be trusted regardless of what signature they put on any document or any contract and this

00:47:54.660 is probably the root cause why you even have an anticipation of snapback because it was geared on

00:48:00.420 the premise that can we really trust them at the end of the day why would there has been a clause

00:48:05.940 for a step back if you thought that this regime could just then solve the problem and you know

00:48:11.540 everything goes back to normal there's a reason for that and i think part of it is based on the

00:48:15.940 fact that even though they recognize that the the verification process has to happen and how many

00:48:21.860 times has the regime been dubious about being transparent about things even the iea people

00:48:26.740 could tell you that these are all this all ties to the whole nuclear fiasco that exists right now

00:48:31.540 And there were different reports that they were able actually to bring the uranium somewhere

00:48:37.220 else before the attack happened. And there were reports that they're not as damaged as Trump hoped.

00:48:45.300 Yes, and I would concur with that. It's not been accounted for where it is. I mean,

00:48:51.060 this is just bits and pieces of the entire problem. I mean, if you want to really dwell

00:48:55.540 into it, there are many other reasons to believe that this problem has not evaporated.

00:49:00.420 so regardless of the consequences of the israeli is it possible to destroy it all from your point

00:49:07.300 of view uh but if again if the whole premise is based on can we completely eliminate the problem

00:49:15.300 of the nuclear threat emanating from this regime while it is still there the only thing i can say

00:49:22.900 is that this regime still being there means a continuation of the problem.

00:49:29.960 And you cannot base your policy on the degree of weakness of a regime as opposed to the

00:49:35.980 inherent threat built into the nature of the regime.

00:49:39.520 But as long as we don't realize that, it's a false imagination on an artificially created

00:49:45.300 environment that, well, we cannot justify our diplomacy because we can now prove to

00:49:49.940 the world there's no longer a nuclear threat coming from iraq because such and such instance

00:49:54.820 installation was hit that's not the case as far as i'm concerned talking about regime change there

00:50:01.300 was back in june lots of discussions about it even from the israeli side when i was there reporting

00:50:07.220 from there um there was the minister of defense actually saying that you know there should be a

00:50:16.260 a regime change. Then the president said, no, this is not our goal. Then Prime Minister Netanyahu

00:50:21.080 backed down. And same in the US. There's some people from the Congress saying we need a regime

00:50:27.680 change. But at the same time, Trump said, no way, we don't want regime change. We remember what

00:50:33.400 happened in Iraq. So there's nothing we want to do. That's one of the biggest mistakes. So guys,

00:50:39.020 pay attention to this part because a lot of people are like, oh, we don't want another Iraq. We don't

00:50:42.720 want another Afghanistan. It is very lazy. It is a lazy argument to assume that Iran is anything

00:50:54.480 like Iraq or anything like Afghanistan. Iran is a completely different culture, completely

00:51:01.500 different society, completely different set of value systems. And so to imply that Iran is going

00:51:10.100 to turn into some failed state. Guys, the country right now is a failed state, okay? There is

00:51:14.740 literally nothing, absolutely nothing that can make the country worse, first and foremost. And

00:51:19.680 second of all, unlike those other countries, we don't have tribalism. There is no tribalism

00:51:26.500 within the country, right? Like we're all Iranian first and foremost. And so that is one of the big

00:51:31.820 key distinctions. And of course, Iran is one of the oldest countries in the world. So where you

00:51:37.560 have countries like, you know, Iraq and Afghanistan, who were carved out, Iran has been around for over

00:51:43.480 3000 years. As you know, just just as the concept of a nation state, Iran has been around for like

00:51:52.040 3000 years. And people don't realize that, right? Iran isn't some country that was carved out of

00:51:58.340 the British mandate after World War One, or, you know, after the fall of the Ottoman Empire,

00:52:02.240 Iran has always been there. That's the difference between Iran and those other countries that people try to compare Iran to.

00:52:12.280 So it looks like this will not happen from abroad. There will be no push on that.

00:52:20.880 And we see what's happening in the past weeks. They all push for negotiations.

00:52:27.100 Okay, on that, there's a lot to say.

00:52:29.500 So let me first start by the fact that I think there's no other country on this planet that recognizes more

00:52:35.520 why it is that this regime is a menace, and why is it that the people of Iran are a friend.

00:52:41.840 The recognition between a regime that hates America, hates the Jewish state and the Jews,

00:52:46.460 as opposed to a nation that was once liberated, will prove that they could be the best friends of Israel and the United States.

00:52:53.200 Point number one.

00:52:53.940 Point number two is the fact that, yes, we have seen recent cases of regime change very

00:53:00.940 poorly managed.

00:53:02.360 Example, debatification after the fall of Saddam Hussein, very poorly administered.

00:53:08.400 And that gave regime change a bad name.

00:53:11.160 Not that it's a bad concept, it's still the right thing to do, but it was so badly implemented.

00:53:16.160 But it never worked.

00:53:17.560 And so when it comes to Iran, number one, Iran is not Iraq.

00:53:22.100 Iran is not a country where we say all we expect America to send is soldiers,

00:53:26.740 so it's the boots on the ground from the American perspective.

00:53:29.540 Of a U.S. taxpayer, I happen to be one of them, by the way.

00:53:32.980 I don't want my money to be spent on endless campaigns of military presence abroad

00:53:38.140 and so on and so forth.

00:53:39.800 Our boots on the ground are the people of Iran.

00:53:43.940 And the resources needed to fund it doesn't have to be a U.S. or British

00:53:48.080 or German taxpayer.

00:53:49.140 it is actually a lot of it could be frozen assets that belongs to the Iranian people in the first

00:53:55.500 place that could be repurposed to found many of these candidates. But we don't see any big

00:54:00.120 uprising if you say that the people of Iran. Because every time there was one, the world

00:54:05.000 basically threw them under the bus. You mean 2022? It's not the first time. During the Green

00:54:08.960 Movement, the Massa Revolution. And every time when you look at it from the perspective of the

00:54:14.080 Iranian people, they're reaching out to the free world. They say, where are you on this? Why aren't

00:54:18.840 on our side and you know but what do you mean with being on their side so on the on the one hand you

00:54:24.520 say you don't want on the ground so what i'm trying to explain it to you i'm trying to explain it to

00:54:29.080 you uh again i have never asked any foreign government to declare as their foreign policy

00:54:38.040 that it is regime change let me be clear on that whether it's the us government or any european

00:54:43.320 government or for that matter any other government what i see this this is an important distinction

00:54:48.440 right so no one no iranian right not even the leader of the iranian national uprising his

00:54:54.840 royal highness is a palavi is demanding that foreign countries um have implement a formal

00:55:03.720 policy of regime change no one is saying that and that's because ultimately um regime change has to

00:55:10.280 come from within so regime change has to come from iranians themselves right so it is um no other

00:55:16.440 country's business right to say that whether or not they want it now having said that what is

00:55:23.060 important is that countries also respect the Iranian people's right to self-determination

00:55:29.840 and if Iranians which is actually the case since Iranians want to overthrow the Islamic Republic

00:55:36.100 since Iranians themselves want regime change what we are asking for and I have a feeling that's what

00:55:41.940 he's going to get into here, what we are asking for is for governments to stop enabling the

00:55:48.780 Islamic Republic, stop legitimizing the Islamic Republic, allow the Iranian people to overthrow

00:55:54.960 the Islamic Republic and determine for themselves what sort of democracy they want to have in the

00:56:01.340 future, whether it's going to be a republic or whether it's going to be a constitutional monarchy,

00:56:05.420 which will be determined by a referendum. And guys, we actually do have a plan for the day

00:56:11.600 after the Islamic Republic is overthrown. I will get into that in future episodes, but, you know,

00:56:17.960 today we're just focusing on this, but this is sort of a primer to build up to my episodes,

00:56:24.600 which are going to talk about what regime change in Iran will look like and what the world can

00:56:30.680 expect from Iran and from Iranians the day after the Islamic Republic is overthrown. So I want to

00:56:37.780 make that very clear um there's also something i just wanted to to share with you really quickly

00:56:42.500 um you know when um when uh you know his royal highness indicated that um you know america

00:56:52.600 recognizes right that there is this difference between um iranians and the islamic republic

00:56:58.380 um it's 100 true and in fact marco rubio himself um made that statement earlier this past year just

00:57:05.800 just listen to this guys so iran today let me two points i want to make about iran and it's really

00:57:10.740 important we talk about iran i'm talking about the radical shia clerics and not the people

00:57:14.800 the people of iran are people of an ancient civilization an ancient culture with tremendous

00:57:19.460 pride and advances and i don't know who take great pride in their persian heritage and identity

00:57:25.120 and i don't know of any nation on earth in which there is a bigger difference between the people

00:57:29.560 and those who govern them than what exists in iran and that's a fact that needs to be made

00:57:33.520 repeatedly. In no way is the clerics who run that country representative of the people of that

00:57:39.000 country and of its history and of contributions it's made to humanity. And it's a point I wish

00:57:44.540 we would continue to make. Right. So you guys have to remember, just because the Islamic Republic

00:57:50.400 has been occupying Iran for 47 years, it does not erase over 2,500 years of Iranian identity,

00:57:58.080 heritage and culture. Right. And of course, thankfully, there are American politicians

00:58:02.760 like marco rubio who understand the difference between iran and the islamic republic right and

00:58:08.760 who understand that iranians are trying to overthrow um the islamic republic but anyways

00:58:14.680 let's get back into um this documentary um sorry this interview with his royal highness

00:58:20.360 king the exiled shah of iran them to do is to show solidarity with the aspiration go back a little

00:58:28.680 bit here to explain it to you i'm trying to explain it to you again i have never asked any

00:58:37.480 foreign government to declare as their foreign policy that it is regime change let me be clear

00:58:43.640 on that whether it's the u.s government or any european government or for that matter any other

00:58:48.120 government that's really important because a lot of the um you know islamic uh islamic republic

00:58:54.200 talking mouth you know talking mouths in North America or elsewhere they keep on like they try

00:59:02.240 to twist the narrative and they try to say things like you know America shouldn't be involved in

00:59:07.960 regime change right so what they're trying to do is they're they're trying to imply that the only

00:59:14.540 way that Iranians can overthrow the Islamic Republic is through foreign intervention so

00:59:21.620 when they use that sort of language, when they use that sort of narrative, they are fooling people

00:59:29.760 into thinking that we want American interventionism, right? We have never once asked for American

00:59:38.500 interventionism. But this is how the Islamic Republic and their Islamist supporters manipulate

00:59:46.320 language to create a false narrative. So again, they will say something like,

00:59:52.020 we do not want America involved in regime change. Well, no one's asking for America to be involved

00:59:59.540 in regime change. We never have. We never will. We're not asking for American boots on the ground.

01:00:05.160 We're not asking for American money. We're not even asking for American involvement.

01:00:09.080 Right. But the reason a lot of people who aren't familiar with Iran and Iranians think that the only way regime change can happen is through American interventionism is because that is the narrative that the Islamic Republic puts out.

01:00:26.680 You know, it's part of their very sophisticated, you know, disinformation, misinformation, propaganda machine that they put out there in order to allow them to remain in power.

01:00:40.820 Right. It's an Islamic dictatorship. Their entire premise is based off of lies and taqiyya.

01:00:46.800 And so they put out these narratives and they pay people to repeat these false narratives.

01:00:52.400 right it's the same reason why people think the shah was a dictator even though he wasn't

01:00:57.880 it's part of this well sophisticated well-funded propaganda machine right but when you actually

01:01:03.720 peel back the layers and you look at the facts you see that what they're saying

01:01:08.320 doesn't hold up right the truth is something completely different

01:01:12.620 to explain it to you. I'm trying to explain it to you. Again, I have never asked any foreign

01:01:22.840 government to declare as their foreign policy that it is regime change. Let me be clear on that.

01:01:29.200 Whether it's the U.S. government or any European government, or for that matter, any other

01:01:33.180 government. What I ask them to do is to show solidarity with the aspiration of a nation

01:01:40.360 that wants the very same value systems that you as a German or Donald Trump as an American

01:01:47.840 or President Macron as a French or the British prime minister's citizen enjoy the freedoms,

01:01:55.180 the democratic values, liberties that they have for our own country.

01:01:59.380 Well, I would say in 2022, I saw a lot of solidarity from politicians, but also from,

01:02:06.800 normal German people. So solidarity doesn't bring a revolution or a regime change.

01:02:16.240 It starts with that. Look, wasn't there a regime change in South Africa?

01:02:21.600 Wasn't there a regime change in the Soviet Union? Wasn't there a regime change in Poland and many

01:02:26.720 of the former Eastern Bloc countries once liberated from the yoke of communist totalitarianism?

01:02:31.600 Those were all regime changes. And guess what? The free world did support it. They did support

01:02:36.800 Nelson Mandela. They did support Dekhvel Esa. They did support many of these causes that liberated

01:02:43.280 those countries. So if regime change is bad, then we should say an end of apartheid was wrong,

01:02:48.480 an end of totalitarian communism was wrong. And in that case, ending a regime in Iran that has

01:02:53.920 kept our country's hostages and has menaced the world with its terrorism and radicalism,

01:02:58.800 that should be wrong is that our conclusion but what i would argue is that and i mean you you

01:03:03.920 mentioned it earlier that it has to start from inside of course of course it's still the same

01:03:09.120 thing and i would argue that the regime is still so strong that people from inside the regime are

01:03:16.480 afraid of you know going against khamenei or other people but because they don't know what would

01:03:23.120 happened after it, and they would be afraid that they'll be targeted from your side or

01:03:28.780 other side.

01:03:29.780 Actually, I'm glad you're framing it this way because it's exactly what people like

01:03:33.720 myself and the rest of the democratic forces working together on this project are trying

01:03:39.420 to explain to the world and, of course, to our own nation, that unlike the element that

01:03:45.200 would have created or has created a void post-regime collapse, again, I point back

01:03:51.240 an example of iraq yeah major i agree with you like this this interviewer is incredibly hostile

01:03:58.120 but again i mean this is what we have to deal with constantly are these like people who are

01:04:03.880 incredibly hostile right um they're not hostile when it comes to the islamic republic they're not

01:04:10.040 hostile when it comes to brutal dictators who have been murdering iranians for the last 47 years in

01:04:16.520 the name of Allah and Muhammad and Islam, right? They're not hostile to them, but they're hostile

01:04:21.320 to the leader of the Iranian opposition, who is literally saying, I'm fighting for a free,

01:04:28.120 secular, democratic Iran, and I'm fighting for an Iran where the Iranian people themselves can

01:04:33.240 determine what sort of free, secular, democratic system of government they want to have through a

01:04:39.520 referendum, right? It's wild, the hostility here. It reminds me a lot of the hostility shown to

01:04:49.400 the late Shah of Iran, Shahanshah Aryomer, in the mid to late 70s, when, you know, the Islamists

01:04:56.760 and communists were putting out all that, you know, false propaganda about him. And then they

01:05:01.460 were just incredibly hostile with him. And he was just sitting there like, where is this coming from,

01:05:06.420 right like i don't understand why these people are once again um taking the side of the communists

01:05:14.580 and the islamists and the leftists right um it's it's it's it's always like this and it's

01:05:20.100 incredibly frustrating that we have a plan to tell our fellow compatriots and the entire world

01:05:30.100 that post-regime collapse is not going to be chaos it's not going to be an unknown

01:05:35.380 that we can point to the direction of exactly how this transition can happen, how can that void be

01:05:41.460 populated, so you don't have to be concerned about the aftermath of this regime collapse.

01:05:47.620 And a lot of that depends, of course, in our success in our campaign to recruit those elements

01:05:53.460 that can now be on the people's side as opposed to on the regime's side. And the people see that

01:05:58.420 and they do recognize that. But you're talking about possible collapse of the regime.

01:06:03.380 man where do you see that why would the regime collapse because they're there since 47 years now

01:06:10.900 okay and why would the regime collapse gee because it is completely corrupt um they can't

01:06:16.740 pay their own people um and they're basically giving all the money to to terrorist groups around

01:06:22.820 the world like it's you know it's like he's asking a question it's it's like he's saying

01:06:28.180 why would nazi germany collapse gee i don't know because it was hated

01:06:33.140 okay i mean you would you would think as a german he would have a little bit more understanding

01:06:38.100 you know given the fact that almost 100 years ago his country was also you know occupied um by nazis

01:06:46.020 and the only reason that he is not able to live in a free secular democratic country is because

01:06:50.900 of the the allied forces right the allied forces freed germany from hitler and the nazi occupation

01:06:56.820 and yet for some reason it seems like he's forgotten all about that who benefits from

01:07:01.700 this regime being in place in iran if you look at elements within the country that actually

01:07:06.660 benefits from this regime being in power and most of it is for monetary reasons because they

01:07:12.900 actually have a monetary interest to preserve the system to their own interest it's the top

01:07:19.060 echelon of this corrupt paramilitary mafia that governs the nation at the expense of a nation

01:07:25.380 that is oil rich, that is gas rich, and yet 60% of our society lives under the poverty line.

01:07:32.340 Where is the money concentrated in? In the hands of the few and not the many.

01:07:36.580 So we're talking about a very narrow strata that is part of the regime's root support that benefits

01:07:43.780 from this regime being in place. But if you look at the bulk of the cadres of whether it's a

01:07:49.460 a civilian bureaucracy or whether it is the military and paramilitary forces, they don't

01:07:54.640 have any interest in this system.

01:07:58.440 And the ideological beliefs, if they once had it, is completely eradicated.

01:08:03.000 And that's why if you are a member of the military, if you're a member of the IRGC and

01:08:07.260 you see that this regime is on the verge of collapse, that the people are literally at

01:08:11.340 the sport of explosion, you ask yourself, why should I endure any more?

01:08:15.980 that humility and face the music one time the people will rise will be their first target and

01:08:21.980 the long top echelon will be long gone and take flight and go seek refuge whatever it is but at

01:08:28.240 the end you need people in front of bunker or a palace or you know you need to demonstration

01:08:33.820 you need to uprising that's how regimes everywhere and that's not true so again he's like you know

01:08:41.220 So he's he's necessarily assuming that the only way that regimes can be overthrown is through people going out in the streets and uprising.

01:08:49.380 I really wish that here. His Royal Highness had responded and said, well, how did you know, how was Germany freed from the Nazis?

01:08:55.620 Was it because the Germans went out and rose up or was it because Germany was freed when the allied forces came in?

01:09:02.160 Right. So for him to say that, you know, the only way that dictatorships are overthrown is by people going on the street is completely ignorant.

01:09:11.460 It's 100 percent false. And, you know, we've already seen what happens with totalitarian dictatorships.

01:09:17.840 Right. When people in totalitarian dictatorships go out, the only thing that happens is they get murdered.

01:09:23.560 No totalitarian dictatorships have been overthrown by people just going out in the streets and rising up.

01:09:29.740 it doesn't happen totalitarian dictatorships are overthrown through military coup d'etats or

01:09:35.420 foreign interventions and what um we're trying to do or what you know his royal highness is focusing

01:09:41.420 on in iran is that campaign of mass defections and a military coup d'etat so this guy um is

01:09:49.980 completely ignorant he's he's either ignorant um idiotic um a bad actor or you know possibly all

01:09:58.140 of the above because again for him to say that you know the only way dictatorships can be

01:10:02.940 overthrown is by people going out of the streets that's not exactly what happened um with germany

01:10:08.060 and the nazi occupation then when it comes to world solidarity somebody like myself is trying

01:10:14.300 to come here to explain to governments look uh this is what could happen we've been muzzled we've

01:10:21.580 been caught up because the excuse of the foreign ministries of these countries that you know we

01:10:27.020 We have to manage the problem.

01:10:28.600 We have hostages over there.

01:10:30.260 If we put more pressure, they're going to blackmail us yet again.

01:10:33.520 We cannot do this.

01:10:34.520 We cannot do that.

01:10:35.520 We cannot engage.

01:10:36.520 Did you catch that part about the hostages?

01:10:39.120 So hostage taking has always been one of the key elements of Islamic terrorists and Islamic

01:10:46.840 dictatorships, right?

01:10:47.880 So yes, there are currently hostages being held by the Islamic Republic.

01:10:53.100 No one really talks about that, right?

01:10:54.980 No one talks about that.

01:10:55.980 yet there are governments who are still trying to normalize the Islamic Republic and who think that

01:11:02.160 they can negotiate with a brutal Islamic dictatorship that literally holds people

01:11:08.280 hostage to use as negotiation pawns, right? What does that sound like? What does that remind you

01:11:13.420 guys of? Of course, Hamas, because Hamas is the baby brother of the Islamic Republic, and all of

01:11:20.340 these terrorist groups in the Middle East get their marching orders and learn from the Islamic

01:11:25.560 republic which has been you know which is basically the head of the snake when it comes to

01:11:30.360 islamic terrorism in the middle east and around the world dialogue so basically once again

01:11:37.880 those freedom fighters and those of us fighting for freedom are being uh sort of uh sacrificed

01:11:44.520 for the sake of political expediency so the nature of the foreign politics also has a direct bearing

01:11:51.080 how many on how we can be sooner uh successful than not not that i'm saying that iranians

01:11:57.320 liberation depends on the good uh will of this or that country i've always said it

01:12:03.240 even to my own compatriots that we can only rely on ourselves but it would be so much easier for

01:12:07.960 us how long will we have the world on ourselves how long will it take it could happen very fast

01:12:12.840 it could happen very very fast because but nothing looks like it would happen for us well look

01:12:18.520 based on what like again the guy's completely uninformed so guys i actually do believe it

01:12:24.520 would happen very fast um i have a feeling that when the islamic republic um is overthrown by a

01:12:31.560 military coup you know it's going to be like the berlin wall like it's going to be just incredibly

01:12:37.480 fast incredibly quick right like that's how i see this happening and i feel like this um this

01:12:43.000 This German guy is just either completely misinformed or he's a bad actor because he is just, he's stupid.

01:12:52.060 I'm sorry to say it, like the guy is stupid.

01:12:54.720 Orchestrating such a campaign demands that many wheels comes into motion, as I explained to you earlier.

01:12:59.640 And right now, when the regime has been severely weakened, we are now assessing what are the new opportunities that we haven't had until about two months ago,

01:13:09.120 Which are?

01:13:10.120 Which are the regime's severe fragmentation that the targets, if you look at the campaign,

01:13:18.620 was not just targeting Iranian nuclear site.

01:13:20.960 It actually targeted many instances that the regime utilizes for surveillance and as an

01:13:26.140 instrument of repression against Israel's citizenry.

01:13:28.940 The top commanders have been taken out.

01:13:31.300 This is a very hard thing for a regime to replace overnight.

01:13:33.840 There's new commanders coming, and there's new commanders now, and the regime is striking

01:13:38.540 It's never the same, you cannot repopulate so suddenly when they're so en masse being

01:13:46.720 decimated.

01:13:47.720 Now, it's almost like if I were here to tell you about the anatomy of how a repressive

01:13:52.700 regime manages to survive, you have to get into their mindset and their strategy.

01:14:00.100 What I'm talking about is what can we take advantage of, when I say we, I mean the opportunity

01:14:04.840 for the people to rise, based on A, the regime's weakness.

01:14:09.020 Number two, the fact that the world may in fact bring even more pressure on the regime.

01:14:13.320 We are exploring right now by the end of this month coming, if the regime doesn't suddenly

01:14:18.180 and very radically change its attitude and posture, we can contemplate snapback being

01:14:26.440 reinstated again.

01:14:28.760 These are all elements that makes life more difficult for the regime.

01:14:32.180 and directly and consequentially easier for the people for opportunities.

01:14:37.480 But at the same time, what do we hear from Iran is that the regime is striking back,

01:14:42.920 that it's more aggressive than ever.

01:14:44.960 I mean, we heard about executions.

01:14:48.720 Of course they do.

01:14:49.540 They don't retaliate against the people because they're still playing the same waiting game.

01:14:56.740 They're trying to buy time vis-a-vis the outside world.

01:14:59.480 so in the meantime they can re-engage in a politics of fear against the people by saying

01:15:07.060 despite what you think we're still capable of of hitting you but this is sheer madness revenge

01:15:12.880 they're arresting oh um major he is absolutely a bad actor so so major is referring to the

01:15:20.680 journalist because no one is this clueless i do this idiot's job and it isn't difficult

01:15:26.520 he knows exactly what he is saying and is deliberately trying to trap his imperial

01:15:32.620 highness i agree this this journalist um he is he's a he's a bad actor again like this this

01:15:38.940 reminds me of um those reporters in the 70s who were trying the same tactics with um shah and

01:15:47.140 the late shah of iran at the time um you know the father of the current shah in exile and they would

01:15:52.680 just ask these ridiculous questions. And they would almost try to, like, what he's trying to

01:15:59.880 do right now is like, he's trying to blame the, you know, Reza Pahlavi, the, you know,

01:16:06.220 Shah in exile. It's like he's trying to blame him for the crimes of the Islamic Republic,

01:16:12.660 right? Like, it's just, it's very, very frustrating to see. But again, this is the

01:16:19.860 uphill battle that we Iranians have constantly had for the last 47 years.

01:16:26.540 Like this is just, yeah, I mean, if this is what you do, then I mean, I'll take your word

01:16:31.900 on this then.

01:16:32.900 He's a bad actor.

01:16:33.900 Like that's what I'm getting here from this journalist guy.

01:16:38.500 This is left and right under the guise that these are Israeli spies or Mossad agents or

01:16:43.100 what have you.

01:16:44.100 But this is how it works in many countries.

01:16:45.900 I mean, not that I can compare dictatorships or authoritarian regimes with each other,

01:16:51.920 but if we see what happened in Russia, for example, or so, so, aren't you then a little

01:16:58.140 bit surprised if you were an Iranian, that somebody like Donald Trump, that on the one

01:17:02.760 hand supports the Israeli campaign of striking Iran, all of a sudden says, now stop it.

01:17:09.960 These are good guys.

01:17:11.140 We can come to terms with them.

01:17:12.540 Demonstrating that many leaders in the world think that simply because you have, in their own mind, eliminated one element who was a bone of contention, think and go back to business as usual, a problem is resolved.

01:17:27.660 Again, it shows to me that understanding the nature of this regime and its continuance, how many consequences this could have, reinforces my argument of why, at the end of the day, this regime has to go.

01:17:42.300 Now, again, let me repeat, I'm not expecting Donald Trump or the German chancellor or anybody else for that matter to declare that our foreign policy is based on declaring regime change in Iran.

01:17:57.220 That's not what I'm asking for.

01:17:58.920 I mean, that's really important because everyone keeps on stressing, you know, we don't want our governments to be involved in regime change.

01:18:09.020 No one has ever asked for any foreign government to declare a policy of regime change in Iran.

01:18:15.000 We've never asked for it. I've never talked about it. His Royal Highness has never mentioned it.

01:18:19.760 No Iranian has. It's just part of the propaganda and the disinformation that the supporters of the Islamic Republic put out there

01:18:29.860 to try and confuse non-Iranians about what it is that we are actually asking for, what it is that

01:18:38.060 we actually want. Amir. Goldie, although I agree with everyone, you look amazing. Oh, thank you.

01:18:46.740 Okay. I'm impressed much more deeply from your work, your bravery, your loyalty for the truth

01:18:51.680 and the peaceful way. Javitsha, may Iran be free ASAP. Thank you, Amir. That is so kind of you to

01:18:57.580 say, I really appreciate that. You know, that's what we are absolutely fighting for. And always

01:19:04.440 great to have you with us. And, you know, thank you for being a moderator on this channel. Always

01:19:10.720 love hearing from you and your input in the chat. Thank you.

01:19:15.700 What I do ask for, however, is for your chancellor, the American president, his allies,

01:19:21.860 and our regional partners who recognize that at the end of the day,

01:19:26.460 once this regime is gone, not one, but many problems associated with it

01:19:30.920 would also disappear, can take opportunity of a window,

01:19:34.960 which is right now in front of us.

01:19:36.800 But the regime in 46 years has never been as weak as it is,

01:19:40.820 and the nation has never been as ready as it is today.

01:19:44.580 And there are additional components that are added to this

01:19:47.680 that we haven't had until recent years.

01:19:49.900 two factors. One is that many former reformists who still believed that by some ways we can bring

01:19:58.640 change from within have given up on that idea. That narrative is now finished, despite what some

01:20:05.240 of the talking heads of the regime are trying to lead you to believe. That is gone. And number two,

01:20:12.120 I think that I don't have an immediate concrete answer for you, but based on the data that they

01:20:17.520 will analyze of all these new defectors, how much more can we count on these elements now

01:20:24.360 being a positive additional element in our campaign that is taking away from the regime

01:20:30.160 to the benefit of the nation.

01:20:31.900 So it's always a direct rapport de force, as the French will say, between the regime's

01:20:37.080 capabilities and the opposition abilities.

01:20:40.240 And we are witnessing that as we speak.

01:20:42.460 We are gearing up towards that momentum.

01:20:44.680 and eventually what you say we need to see you as a journalist watching from the outside or any

01:20:51.060 expectation that the world has is that movement finally going to be more manifest in iran i guarantee

01:20:56.500 you it will in fact there are some elements of it is it at the level of full combination

01:21:00.740 we're building towards that and what we hope is that in the meantime as we're giving up for that

01:21:06.600 the world doesn't yet again throw this regime another lifeline because this will simply delay

01:21:12.360 our ability to liberate ourselves, and meanwhile, the other problems emanated with the regime.

01:21:17.960 Diplomacy or not, they need to recognize, and that's what I would like to draw a parallel to

01:21:23.240 the end of the Cold War and the Soviet Union. They have to have a strategy for what if the

01:21:27.800 regime was to collapse. None of these countries have that strategy as I speak to you.

01:21:31.240 I still haven't understood what exactly Donald Trump or Friedrich Meretz and others should do

01:21:37.320 from your perspective because you're saying no regime change they don't have to mention it it's

01:21:42.520 not important if they mention it you say no boots on the ground you say solidarity but this is very

01:21:47.480 vague i mean okay this this journalist is an idiot he's an idiot like i don't know how much more

01:21:55.000 clearly it can be spelled out but okay so now we're trying for you know number three the third

01:22:00.680 time that his royal highness is going to try and explain to this very idiotic and obtuse journalist

01:22:07.320 about what it is that Iranians who are fighting to overthrow the Islamic Republic want from the

01:22:13.800 world. Let's see if he will finally catch on after the third time. Let me give you the specifics.

01:22:22.400 Maximum pressure. What was maximum pressure? Maximum pressure was being more sanctions on

01:22:27.260 the regime. One of them, the most biggest elephant in the room, is subscribing the IRGC.

01:22:34.280 The G6 have yet to do that, despite the fact that the EU Parliament and many other legislators

01:22:39.800 have actually said that we should prescribe the IRGC.

01:22:43.260 So what he's referring to is putting the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps on the terrorist list,

01:22:50.280 right? So that's something that we've achieved in Canada. We worked for seven years lobbying

01:22:54.700 the government until finally the government agreed to put the Islamic Revolutionary Guard

01:23:00.180 core on the canadian terror list the irgc is sanctioned by the united states as well it's on

01:23:05.540 the u.s terror list most recently um it was put on the australian terror list as well however um it

01:23:13.540 has yet to happen uh you know in in large scale in europe for example so when he's referring to

01:23:19.460 prescribing the irgc that's what he's referring to that is something tangible that for uh you know

01:23:25.060 governments can do which does not include you know does not involve boots on the ground does

01:23:30.180 not involve any element of you know taxpayer money nothing like that but if you put the islamic

01:23:35.860 revolutionary guard corps on your terror lists that is a huge help because that you know will

01:23:41.380 will cut off um all of their you know financial assets and you know their ability to to use

01:23:47.540 international banks and and everything like that right like that is one tangible step that

01:23:52.660 governments can take but have not done yet uh european governments anyway the excuse that we

01:23:58.820 hear because i talked about it and asked some of former politicians why is it that you're not

01:24:03.140 prescribing the irgc as a terrorist organization which gives you much more forensic depth of

01:24:07.860 actually identifying their networks and their footprints whether it's operating in europe or

01:24:12.820 elsewhere and it goes back again to this whole hostage issue or we don't want to lose our

01:24:18.020 diplomatic access to the regime because we have a chancery there and so on and so forth to me

01:24:22.740 i think these are lame excuses it's just not facing up to the reality that the leverage you

01:24:28.340 can't have against the regime you're caving in under a policy of blackmail by the regime of

01:24:34.020 taking your hostages and that makes you hesitant about doing something that is the most obvious

01:24:38.900 element that could severely curtail the regime which is one of them is prescribing the irgc

01:24:43.940 as part of your maximum pressure campaign now maximum pressure from the outside is one thing

01:24:48.900 what about maximum support there are many things that the free world can do to help the iranian

01:24:54.500 people and their cause for instance we have seen time and again that one of the most critical

01:25:00.900 aspect for the iranian people is not is not to be disconnected from the world and the ability to

01:25:06.660 communicate with one another we talked about the importance of having access to the internet

01:25:12.340 We talked about Starlink being in Iran. As a matter of fact, by the way, side note,

01:25:17.140 if you own a Starlink platform right now, you're subject to arrest and it's a crime.

01:25:24.180 It's no longer a problem. I mean, that's how the regime retaliates. They know how important it is.

01:25:29.460 Yeah, that's the other thing. People never talk about the fact that the Islamic Republic

01:25:36.020 is constantly trying to prevent Iranians from inside of the country from speaking out

01:25:41.860 and anyone who does speak out is arrested jailed and executed right and like like he said i mean

01:25:46.260 he's not exaggerating starlink is illegal if you own starlink you can go to jail because starlink

01:25:53.540 will circumvent the vpn of the islamic republic guys this is how brutal and savage the islamic

01:26:00.180 republic is right imagine imagine you know from where you are in the comfort of your own home

01:26:06.660 in your western civilized countries many of you have starlink or know people who have access to

01:26:12.900 starlink imagine if just by virtue of owning a starlink your government puts you in jail

01:26:22.020 tortures you possibly executes you that's what it's like living in occupied iran right and yet

01:26:28.900 there are people who are outside of Iran who will defend the Islamic Republic and defend

01:26:36.420 this brutal and savage dictatorship. Iranians are literally being held hostage by the Islamic

01:26:44.180 Republic, and yet non-Iranians are out here defending this brutal, savage Islamic dictatorship.

01:26:51.780 think about that think about that starlink is illegal in occupied iran what normal country

01:27:00.100 does that and yet there are people out there who are literally supporting our islamic oppressors

01:27:06.900 right but if anyone ever says why why do iranian people want the islamic republic gone

01:27:13.940 one reason of you know hundreds of thousands of reasons starlink is starlink is banned owning

01:27:20.580 Having Starlink, having access to Starlink gives the Islamic Republic grounds to arrest

01:27:30.580 you, torture you, and execute you.

01:27:33.160 Just think about that.

01:27:34.160 Think about the savage brutality of this Islamic dictatorship.

01:27:39.080 That's important it is.

01:27:41.660 That's an indication of how critical it is for people to have access.

01:27:44.700 That's one thing that Free World can help us with.

01:27:46.540 I talked to you earlier about you don't need to have boots on the ground.

01:27:50.460 people are on the ground.

01:27:51.700 You don't need to fund it by taxpayers' money, but you can repurpose frozen assets to sustain

01:27:57.240 and fund, for instance, labor strikes in Iran, as an example.

01:28:01.320 These are the things that are the tools of how you can galvanize a nation.

01:28:05.700 This goes hand in glove in terms of what posture a foreign government can take to facilitate,

01:28:11.760 because right now sanctions make it very difficult for anyone to send money back home to, let's

01:28:16.780 Let's say, sponsor the family of a political prisoner or somebody who wants to go on strike.

01:28:23.580 These are areas that they can cooperate with the opposition.

01:28:26.620 And these are the kind of substantial examples of what I'm giving you just some examples

01:28:31.140 of what can be done that they could implement in terms of a strategy and policy.

01:28:36.260 Why do you think that you are the right person at this moment to unite this opposition?

01:28:42.620 You see the son of the Shah, authoritarian regime and many.

01:28:48.700 So, so stupid.

01:28:50.660 Authoritarian regime.

01:28:51.640 Like he can't even formulate a proper sentence.

01:28:54.580 He just, you know, throws out this communist, Islamist, progressive, you know, authoritarian regime.

01:29:00.380 The guy probably doesn't even know that the late Shah of Iran gave women the right to vote in 1963.

01:29:06.180 What sort of authoritarian regime gives women the right to vote?

01:29:12.620 this guy is like a propagandist at this point people still remember what happened during that

01:29:19.020 period of time no we we remember the facts right like this guy is pushing the communist and

01:29:25.300 islamist propaganda and narrative right he probably knows nothing about cinema racks

01:29:31.380 also in the west but i think that the names that has been chanted in iran apart from my

01:29:36.600 grandfather and my father is mine and this is the name that they write on the walls in iran as i

01:29:41.240 speak these are 100 true right like i've even had several live streams where i've shown you guys

01:29:46.880 right there's only one name that iranians in iran are chanting today that's reza pahlavi right they

01:29:51.960 say javid shah javid shah means long live the king they say reza shah ruhad shah referring to his

01:29:57.460 grandfather they say you know muhammad shah ruhad shah referring to his father god bless your soul

01:30:03.260 And now they're saying, which means, O King of Iran, return to Iran. The only images and videos

01:30:13.260 you see coming out of Iran are people who are asking for the Shah to return to Iran, right?

01:30:21.560 The thing is, most of this is in Farsi, right? So you don't actually see this stuff. But let me

01:30:28.500 just show you one of the, you know, one of the, um, newest things that's, um, that's trending,

01:30:34.860 right? Um, I just pull it, it was just here on my feed. Um, where is it? Let me pull it up here.

01:30:46.800 So here we go. Let me go to Nifty. Nifty always has, um, Nifty always has good things, uh, in

01:30:55.580 English. So guys, if you want like accurate news about what's happening in Iran, you know,

01:31:03.860 English news, right? Because most of my news I get in Farsi. But if you want accurate news about

01:31:11.500 what's happening in Iran, you want to, you know, if you're on X or, you know, if you're on social

01:31:16.360 media, you want to follow NUFTI, okay? NUFTI Iran, National Union for Democracy in Iran. They always

01:31:23.160 have um very good info and news and updates so if you want you know the the unbiased truth um this

01:31:31.320 is the account that you want to follow you know they have a website and everything as well um

01:31:37.720 but like here's one example right so when his royal highness is referring to iranians in iran

01:31:44.360 who are calling for him or calling for his name um calling for him to return or calling for his

01:31:50.120 father's name this is what they're referring to this is what you don't see in the media right so

01:31:54.840 you know this is from october 21 uh following breakdowns on the tehran metro citizens came

01:32:01.560 out in protest of the regime and its failure to provide for iran iranians are making their voices

01:32:06.920 against the islamic republic undeniable and they're ready to take iran back

01:32:21.080 so they're saying which is they're referring to his grandfather right they're saying bless your soul

01:32:27.480 right and then um

01:32:29.240 where's the one there's one from mud at ismat today where's that one okay i have to find that

01:32:41.560 one it was it was all over my feed um it was all over my feed earlier but um anyways i'll find it

01:32:50.880 here let me see i can find you guys can see my algo it's basically all like you know

01:32:58.520 terrorists and stuff, because I like to get updates on that. Um, where is she? Where is she?

01:33:07.000 Just saw it. All right. Oh, here we go. Here we go. Okay. So, so like, you know, again,

01:33:15.880 so this video just came out today. And this video is currently going viral on Iranian

01:33:23.600 social media. So whether it's Twitter posts in Farsi or Instagram or Facebook or TikTok. So

01:33:32.080 this is an old lady, okay? This is an old lady. And she's known as Mother Ismat. She lost 11

01:33:38.780 family members to executions carried out by the Islamic regime in Iran in the 1980s, okay? So

01:33:46.140 so this old woman has lost 11 family members, okay? 11 of her family members were executed by

01:33:53.760 the Islamic Republic. She has voiced her support for the restoration of Iran's monarchy and for

01:34:00.460 Iran's king in exile, Reza Pahlavi II, the person that, you know, we're watching this with this

01:34:05.920 interview with, okay? She has called on Iranians to do the same and to chant Javid Shah, which means

01:34:11.680 long of the king mother esmat has become a prominent symbol of defiance and resilience

01:34:17.280 against the terror regime's 47 years of oppression she is currently hospitalized

01:34:23.680 and undergoing treatment for cancer right so you know she's saying you know my my dear king

01:34:37.040 i'm mother ismat i'm in the hospital

01:34:44.560 i wanted to tell you she said i want to tell you that i basically want you you know with with the

01:34:53.520 throne and crown okay the people of iran want you with the throne and crown okay so again this is

01:35:04.560 just one example out of, I don't know, hundreds of thousands of these sorts of videos that are

01:35:10.840 constantly coming out where Iranians say that they want the Shah to return and that they only trust

01:35:17.200 him, right? But again, you're not going to see this. You're not going to see videos like this

01:35:21.020 in English language media because it doesn't fit the Islamist communist narrative, right?

01:35:26.680 Of course, you're going to see them on this channel because I'm here to give you the unfiltered

01:35:30.880 truth. And I'm here to bridge that gap between what Iranians are saying in Farsi, you know,

01:35:37.500 versus what non-Iranians are hearing about Iran. So again, going back to this interview, I hope

01:35:44.260 you can, you know, now when he says that, you know, people are calling my name, they're calling

01:35:50.320 my grandfather's name, they're calling my father's name. It's not an exaggeration. This is something

01:35:55.020 that is happening every single day. And, you know, this video that I'm showing you

01:36:01.200 is literally just the most recent example from today. Every day, we're seeing hundreds of these

01:36:09.440 types of videos come out on social media and be shared across social media. You just don't hear

01:36:16.560 about it in English because it doesn't fit the communist, Islamist, you know, anti-imperialist

01:36:23.980 jihadi narrative.

01:36:26.300 People are chanting in slogans, but I think that the names that has been chanted in Iran

01:36:33.840 apart from my grandfather and my father is mine, and this is the name that they write

01:36:37.880 on the walls in Iran as I speak.

01:36:39.620 These are what people are chanting in slogans in Iran.

01:36:42.380 And if you monitor that, that should be evidence of why should it be me as opposed to person

01:36:47.260 X.

01:36:48.260 And you know, that gives me the legitimacy to conduct this campaign.

01:36:51.700 was not a democracy back in the days so see so this guy is 100 lying iran was a constitutional

01:37:02.020 monarchy see this is a frustrating part with these um these non-iranians who are literally trying to

01:37:09.300 iransplain our country to us like how much of a bad faith actor do you have to be to just sit there

01:37:18.500 and confidently claim that Iran was not a democracy.

01:37:23.420 Iran was 100% a democracy.

01:37:25.580 It was a constitutional monarchy.

01:37:27.960 Guys, look up the 1906 Persian Constitutional Revolution.

01:37:35.340 I have spoken about this in the past.

01:37:37.300 I've even done a live stream on the Persian Constitutional Revolution,

01:37:43.480 and you can find it right here.

01:37:46.740 um let me find it Islamic revolution here we go so let me just bring this up for you guys okay

01:37:56.480 so for him for him to just claim that Iran was on a democracy 100% a lie um if you go to my

01:38:03.980 YouTube channel you go to Iranians raid documentaries you'll see here um this one

01:38:09.420 documentary here um it says 1979 Islamic revolution underneath it it says Persian

01:38:15.600 constitutional revolution. I gave it a score of seven out of 10. Guys, in 1906, there was a

01:38:22.140 revolution, and that's when Iran became a constitutional monarchy with its first

01:38:26.820 democratically elected parliament, by the way. Oh, and by the way, another thing I want to show you.

01:38:34.960 like this, this reporter is just a hundred percent, um, a bad actor. Guys, look at this.

01:38:46.940 Okay. Let me show this one instead. Look at this profiles of women politicians. Do you see this?

01:38:56.260 Do you see this image here? Let me, let me zoom in here. Okay. Female MPs in the mid 1970s. Okay.

01:39:04.280 Female members of parliament in Iran before 1979.

01:39:11.420 If Iran was not a democracy, where did these women come from and what were they doing?

01:39:20.300 Do you see how blatantly these journalists just throw out these lies about Iran?

01:39:28.020 um like at this point i mean this is like blood libel that this guy is throwing out here he just

01:39:35.060 casually and confidently says but iran wasn't a democracy okay if iran wasn't a democracy

01:39:40.700 then who are these women how did they get voted in right who who put them in there if it wasn't

01:39:47.140 through democratic elections right but again this is the jihadi islamist communist propaganda that

01:39:55.380 we Iranians have had to deal with, not just from journalists, but also from like ignorant people in

01:40:00.720 the YouTube chat, right? Who, who for some reason, think that they can Iran-splain our own country

01:40:08.180 to us, right? They, everyone seems to have an opinion on Iran. And unfortunately, 90% of the

01:40:15.820 time, it's literally the wrong opinion. So again, ask yourself this question. How could Iran have

01:40:23.820 been this authoritarian dictatorship when it literally had not just not just politicians

01:40:32.060 women politicians and they looked like this okay does does this look like a country

01:40:39.420 that is governed by an authoritarian dictatorship to you i mean come on please the level of

01:40:45.980 ignorance is astounding right and you're talking about whatever you're talking about freedom now

01:40:52.140 Wait, see, so let's go back here because this German guy, this German guy is just not just

01:40:58.680 pissing me off, but he's completely ignorant and he's incredibly insulting as well.

01:41:03.440 Like he's just flat out rude here.

01:41:06.500 There's opposition because you're the son of the Shah, authoritarian regime, and many

01:41:13.180 people still remember what happened during that period of time, also in the West.

01:41:18.320 But I think that the names that has been chanted in Iran, apart from my grandfather

01:41:22.660 and my father, is mine.

01:41:24.240 And this is the name that they write on the walls in Iran as I speak.

01:41:27.200 These are what people are chanting in slogans in Iran.

01:41:29.960 And if you monitor that, that should be evidence of why should it be me as opposed to person

01:41:34.820 X.

01:41:35.820 And you know, that gives me the legitimacy to conduct this campaign.

01:41:39.280 But this was not a democracy back in the days.

01:41:42.600 So you're talking about freedom now?

01:41:46.600 is the historical revision of what happened then and I think today the Iranian people recognize

01:41:52.280 what a... So I'm so glad he used the word historical revision, right? Because that's exactly

01:41:59.160 what's been going on for the last 47 years. The communists and the Islamists have engaged

01:42:05.000 in historical, you know, historic revisionism, right? They have tried to rewrite our history

01:42:11.240 and they have basically tried to push their um historic revisionism on the world and that's why

01:42:18.760 a lot of people think that iran used to be this authoritarian dictatorship and then when we

01:42:24.680 actually show them proof we're like no no this is what it was right iran was not an authoritarian

01:42:30.040 dictatorship it was a constitutional monarchy here's what actually happened it's just such

01:42:34.840 a shock to people um it it it's almost like it just shatters it shatters their framework of of

01:42:44.680 knowledge when it comes to iran in the middle east to the point where i feel like they are so

01:42:49.560 indoctrinated that they can't accept it even when we show them the facts even when we show them the

01:42:55.080 truth um it's almost as if they have gone so far down the rabbit hole when it comes to the islamist

01:43:02.680 and communist um disinformation and propaganda that you know it's like they don't want to come

01:43:08.840 out anymore so when when we even show them proof um that goes against this this false narrative

01:43:16.760 that's put out by the jihadis and the communists um the only response they come up with is that

01:43:22.040 you know we're lying or you know we're engaging in conspiracy theories right because um it's just

01:43:29.160 completely opposite to what they think they know. And guys, I'm telling you, everything you think

01:43:34.040 you know about Iran is a lie. And, you know, at this point, we Iranians, we are tired of non-Iranians

01:43:40.460 trying to Iran-splain our country to us by relying on sources that have engaged in historic

01:43:47.740 revisionism for the last 47 years, right? Like, stop listening to the Islamists. Stop listening

01:43:55.340 to the communists stop listening to armchair experts and maybe go and do a little bit of

01:44:01.420 independent research on your own to find out the truth because again iran became a constitutional

01:44:08.380 monarchy in 1906 so how the hell could iran have been this authoritarian dictatorship when we

01:44:15.820 literally had a constitution we had a parliament we call it the majlis we had women politicians

01:44:23.100 we had prime ministers we had ministers we had elections right like this guy 100 bad actor 100

01:44:32.780 percent an idiot and i'm glad i'm glad that his royal highness is calling it out and and calling

01:44:37.900 it the historical revisionism that it is because that's exactly what's been happening is this

01:44:43.660 historical revisionism to unite this opposition because you're the son of the shah also to

01:44:49.660 authoritarian regime and many people still remember what happened during that period of time

01:44:56.860 also in the west you know what the way he's talking i can tell like he doesn't even believe

01:45:00.860 his own he doesn't even believe his own but he's obviously been um paid to promote

01:45:07.500 a certain narrative right like he's been paid to promote a certain agenda

01:45:11.500 he can't even ask um a properly like he can't ask a question like he's not even being cohesive he's

01:45:18.220 just like throwing out buzzwords right like authoritarian dictatorship like all this nonsense

01:45:23.260 right but i think that the names that has been chanted in iran apart from my grandfather and

01:45:28.060 my father is mine and this is the name that they write on the walls in iran as i speak these are

01:45:32.540 what people are chanting in slogans in iran and if you monitor that that should be evidence of why

01:45:37.900 should it be me as opposed to person x and you know that gives me the legitimacy to conduct

01:45:43.580 this campaign but this was not a democracy back in the days so and you can tell he doesn't even

01:45:50.460 believe himself he's like this this was not a democracy like he he doesn't even believe the

01:45:55.020 he does not even believe the own lies that that are coming out of his mouth like he he knows you

01:46:01.100 can tell from the tone of his voice he knows that he's just like spewing out pardon my language

01:46:06.460 bullshit you're talking about freedom now and whatever is the historical revision of what

01:46:12.860 happened then and i think today the iranian people recognize what a crucial role my father

01:46:19.420 and my grandfather played in modern iran and giving everything that iranian once enjoyed

01:46:25.500 that they lost under this regime all the liberties there's women's rights everything else was it a

01:46:31.180 perfect system no it wasn't but today people recognize that the country was going in the

01:46:36.700 direction of prosperity or progress or modernity and if that had continued without the revolution

01:46:43.020 iran by now should have been the south korea of the middle east they said we have become the north

01:46:47.500 korea of the middle east because that regime was gone and instead there was a regime that promised

01:46:53.100 people free electricity free rides on buses and look at where it is now you know who else promised

01:47:00.060 free electricity or free rides on buses mam danny you guys in new york you're screwed by the way

01:47:05.340 so the islamic regime came to power based on lies and takia and these you know communist socialist

01:47:11.340 ideals right remember that guys 1979 was a coup d'etat funded by the soviets and people respond

01:47:18.540 and react to that but there's also people remembering of their loved ones being in prison

01:47:23.820 um doing that's so stupid no the only people who were in prison at the time were the communists

01:47:30.560 and the islamists you know who was in jail at the time khamenei khamenei is the current supreme

01:47:34.820 dictator of the islamic republic he was in jail so this is how you can tell this guy's a bad actor

01:47:40.740 right like he is he is more concerned like his focus is on defaming the shah of iran

01:47:49.420 than he is on the current abhorrent human rights violations by the Islamic Republic.

01:47:57.200 The Shah of Iran at the time had 3,000 people imprisoned, 3,000 people imprisoned, okay?

01:48:04.400 And they were either communists or Islamists, right? All of them were terrorists, and thank

01:48:08.720 God he had them imprisoned. The Islamic Republic today is responsible for the murder of almost

01:48:16.560 3 million Iranians since coming into power in 1979, right? Why isn't this man concerned about

01:48:23.700 the fact that the current Islamic Republic is literally gassing schoolgirls? Yes, the Islamic

01:48:29.620 Republic poisons schoolchildren as a way to deter their parents from going out of the streets and

01:48:34.820 protesting. The Islamic Republic rapes women before executing them to make sure that their

01:48:39.960 souls don't go to heaven. This is all documented. We have proof. We have documentary evidence. We

01:48:45.560 have videos we have photos we have testimonies no concern about that but yet for some reason he's

01:48:52.000 more interested in in the islamist communist lies right of course the shah had people in prison he

01:49:01.260 even he even he said this freely and openly in all of his interviews in the 1970s he said i have

01:49:08.540 3 000 people imprisoned and it's not like the shah just you know pointed a finger and said you go to

01:49:14.480 jail, you'd go to jail. They were imprisoned through the legal process. Every single one of

01:49:20.360 those people went to court and an independent judiciary decided whether or not they should go

01:49:27.300 to jail. So it's not like the Shah put people in prison. People were arrested for crimes.

01:49:34.320 They were tried before a court, an independent court, and then they went to jail. And this guy

01:49:39.480 is acting as if, as if like, you know, this does not happen. This literally happens everywhere in

01:49:45.020 the world. But, but these are the, um, these are the Islamist communist and leftist lies that

01:49:53.220 people like this so-called reporter constantly put out there. Right. And I cannot believe that

01:50:01.200 this guy is now pushing and trying to promote this rhetoric and trying to trap, um, his Royal

01:50:08.620 highness into this sort of you know islamist communist narrative right like shame on this guy

01:50:16.060 time um your father was there so i mean the statistics that were announced by the opposition

01:50:21.420 back then were grossly exaggerated and that's why we have people now that have gone and studied all

01:50:26.860 those aspects that were by no means friends of the previous regime in fact they were

01:50:33.020 the opposition to my father's regime from the left from the marxist from the maoist and if you look

01:50:38.220 at what they came up with their analysis it draws a totally different picture than a specific

01:50:44.780 narrative that was pushed by at the time what was a coalition of the red and the black the

01:50:50.620 marxist and the islamist who painted a picture of iran and in fact a lot of people in the western

01:50:56.140 world were impacted by by that rhetoric it's not only a picture they painted i mean there's

01:51:01.740 anyways i'm not here to represent the past number one the other thing is this guy he's just like

01:51:07.660 throwing out like nonsense but he has nothing to back it up right he's basically just making the

01:51:13.580 same false ignorant claims um about the shah with no evidence to back it up like this is just lazy

01:51:22.620 lazy journalism um incredibly incredibly disrespectful um and yeah like he has nothing

01:51:29.500 to back it up not even a single shred of proof like he doesn't have numbers he doesn't have facts

01:51:35.420 he doesn't have statistics he doesn't even have a single name by the way a single name right but

01:51:40.620 he's just spouting the same lazy um propaganda that's been pushed by the communists and the

01:51:48.300 islamists for the last 47 years shame on that guy i'm my own man i have my own vision and that's why

01:51:54.860 they respond to my message but you've been living in the west since you're 18 so how do you how do

01:51:59.340 you think you're the one for the people in iran they they can try because so he already answered

01:52:04.860 that question. Wow. What an idiotic comment to make. So he's like, well, you've been in the West

01:52:11.020 since you're 18. Yeah, because if he goes back to Iran, he would be murdered, you idiot. Like,

01:52:15.420 what's he supposed to do? Go back there and then be murdered? We want him outside of the country.

01:52:22.120 He has to remain safe. Of course, we don't want him there because he is our hope. And again,

01:52:28.740 he already answered this question because he said the people in Iran are chanting my name.

01:52:33.280 And I literally just showed you, just a few minutes ago, a video that is going viral today.

01:52:40.980 Okay, today, remember, don't forget, the old lady, Mother Ismat, she's on her deathbed right now as we speak.

01:52:48.120 Okay, let me show it to you as a reminder.

01:52:54.280 Here you go.

01:52:55.800 So this is Mother Ismat, she's on her deathbed.

01:52:58.180 this video is going viral today because even today she's saying we want the king back we

01:53:03.920 want you back reza pahlavi you are our hope right and yet this idiotic journalist is now claiming

01:53:10.820 that because he was out of the country since he was 18 that he's not fit to rule like do you see

01:53:16.140 how they're just constantly attacking us um in whatever way shape or form they can like it is

01:53:23.840 it is disgusting my life has been iran for the past 46 years i've been in touch with my fellow

01:53:31.200 compatriots all this time i've monitored every aspect from the day that iran entered a war with

01:53:36.480 iraq at the time i was in cairo my father had just died and i volunteered to join the iranian

01:53:42.000 military to fight against saddam hussein and his invasion and to this day when today's kids

01:53:47.520 Today's Gen Z, the children who were murdered during the Women's Life Freedom Movement,

01:53:54.800 their mothers were here in Munich two days ago. Their children were there three days ago.

01:54:01.040 Who do you think they came and embraced? Whose name do you think that they bring up?

01:54:06.640 But there's even opposition groups in the past few years.

01:54:09.920 So if they thought that I'm detached, I'm not connected to them, I live in a different world,

01:54:16.640 that's not their take that's not their interpretation there may be some people

01:54:20.960 in the western media that may characterize it as such but the reality is not that

01:54:25.040 in fact but how do you know the reality and painting this guy keeps on interrupting him

01:54:30.960 first of all and then it's like how do you know the reality we are telling you we are showing you

01:54:36.240 like this this guy is just wow like i have no words i have no words like just completely ignorant

01:54:45.040 incredibly insulting um he he's obviously like a far leftist right because it's like

01:54:52.400 you know he's throwing out all of these statements with zero facts um anything you know nothing to

01:54:58.960 back up what he's claiming uh his royal highness is everything he says is is backed with you know

01:55:05.440 evidence and testimony um and everything can be easily verified and yet for some reason he thinks

01:55:11.920 that you know he knows more it's it's incredible to me names on walls doesn't mean that the whole

01:55:17.120 country is backing you or is behind you you know i mean wow so you know names on walls doesn't mean

01:55:23.040 okay so so this is the thing this is so this is the classic um tactic that these leftists and

01:55:28.880 islamists do right they will attack the shah they will say well you know how do you know people want

01:55:36.880 you. Writing names on walls isn't enough. It doesn't mean the whole country. But then you ask

01:55:42.720 them this question. You say, well, okay, if not him, then who? If not him, who is going to be

01:55:50.780 the leader? Who is going to lead the Iranian revolution? Who is going to overthrow the

01:55:57.960 Islamic Republic? Give us a name. And they can't. Because there is no one else. Because Iranian

01:56:05.240 people do not want anyone else. We as a nation, okay, we Iranians have already decided who we

01:56:13.200 want to lead the Iranian national uprising. We have decided who we want to lead us in overthrowing

01:56:23.760 the Islamic Republic and leading that transitional government, which is going to take us from a

01:56:29.640 totalitarian Islamic dictatorship into a functioning democratic society.

01:56:35.780 And we are going to determine what sort of democratic society we want, whether it's a

01:56:42.060 republic or whether it's a constitutional monarchy. We will decide that ourselves at the

01:56:48.220 ballot box through a national referendum, okay? But it is incredibly frustrating to have non-Iranians

01:56:57.920 try and attack the legitimacy of our leader, right? When we have already determined as a nation who

01:57:07.440 we want, they will continue to attack him, but they cannot provide any other name, right? So he

01:57:14.840 keeps on saying, well, how do you know people support you? How do you know they don't? Can you

01:57:19.440 give us any other name of any other person, right? Iranians inside of Iran are only chanting one

01:57:27.380 person's name. That is his name. That is what the video is showing. That is what the photos are

01:57:32.280 showing. That is the documentary evidence coming out of the country. No other name, no other person.

01:57:39.180 And yet, for some reason, these lefty journalists are still trying to undermine his credibility.

01:57:45.880 And by doing so, they're actually damaging the movement, right? Like, he's not just attacking

01:57:52.160 King Reza Pahlavi. He is attacking 80 million Iranians who are trying to tell the world

01:57:58.460 he is our leader. We want him. We trust him. We don't want anyone else, right? And ultimately,

01:58:06.620 that decision is up to us. And we as a nation have already made that decision as to who is

01:58:13.020 going to be our leader, who is going to lead us in overthrowing the Islamic Republic. So this guy,

01:58:19.560 right instead of just listening he's now gone on this very very aggressive attack um probably

01:58:27.460 because he just does not like the fact that we all support his royal highness this is my number

01:58:33.780 then i would refer you to some of the polls that have been made about where do i figure in terms

01:58:40.820 of the overall perception and if you look at that i don't know exactly what the number is

01:58:45.740 but the second person i know what the number is guys okay let me let me pull up the poll for you

01:58:51.300 okay because again everything that his royal highness is saying um it's it's fact right

01:58:58.520 let me let me pull it up here 80 percent

01:59:02.500 here we go guys look at this

01:59:07.980 let me move this okay so you see this so this was this was a poll okay this was a poll that was done

01:59:22.080 um about two three years ago it was done by this leftist institution called gammon um gammon

01:59:32.040 they're actually like very, very far left. So Gammon themselves do not support His Royal

01:59:37.680 Highness. Okay. They're very leftist, almost like socialist Marxist leaning organization

01:59:44.260 based out of in Europe. They did an internal poll, okay, of who people inside of Iran support.

01:59:54.900 And look at this. This is from like three years ago. Okay. 80%, 80% of Iranians in

02:00:01.960 occupied iran support his royal highness king reza pahlavi the islamic republic here is at 0.3

02:00:10.280 percent and then you know the the you know jihadi uh communists are at zero percent right but look

02:00:16.280 at this like 1.6 0.6 0.6 0.30 80 80 support his royal highness okay do you see this like how

02:00:27.320 How much clearer does it need to get, right?

02:00:32.060 Like how much more proof do people need?

02:00:35.200 If that journalist actually did his job and he actually bothered to look into the polls, not polls from the Islamic Republic, because that is a brutal Islamic dictatorship that lies, right?

02:00:50.200 But if you look at the independent polls, even the leftist organizations who do not like His Royal Highness cannot deny the fact that at least 80% of Iranians support him.

02:01:05.600 So again, you can very clearly see how the reporter is deliberately engaging in disinformation and everything that His Royal Highness is saying is factually accurate and correct.

02:01:21.240 So when he is referring to those polls, this right here is an example of one of those polls where at least 80% of Iranians support him and trust him.

02:01:31.480 So what more do you need? Right? But this is the lies, right? The lies and the gaslighting that we Iranians have been dealing with from these ill-informed, bad actors for the last 47 years who try not only to engage in historic revisionism, but they also try to Iran-splain our own country to us as if we, for some reason, don't have a

02:02:01.480 the ability um to to determine for ourselves what we want right this is to me as far as being

02:02:09.720 considered as someone let me let me go back here again but the reality is not that in fact but how

02:02:16.440 do you know the reality and painting name how do we know the reality because we have polls like i

02:02:21.000 just showed you god i i hate this guy on walls doesn't mean that the whole country is backing

02:02:26.600 you or is behind you you know i mean this is not numbers then i would refer you to we have numbers

02:02:31.800 in fact i just showed you that poll that was from a few years ago at least 80 percent of iranians

02:02:37.160 support his royal highness that that's a poll some of the polls that have been made about where do i

02:02:44.200 figure in terms of the overall perception and if you look at that i don't know exactly what the

02:02:49.560 number is but the second person closest to me as far as being considered as someone is not even

02:02:56.440 recording in in in the double digits in most of the polls that have been done so if if to the

02:03:01.880 extent that you're willing to be right so again i'm referring to um this one here right so here

02:03:07.720 he is at 80 percent and this is the person that's next to him not even remotely in the double digits

02:03:13.880 in fact he's not even at two percent he's at he's at 1.6 percent like how much more clearer does it

02:03:20.680 get. Does this not show you exactly who Iranians want? It's not even close. It's not even close.

02:03:29.560 So we have the facts, we have the stats, we have the polls, it's all there. And yet these so-called

02:03:35.720 journalists in the West continue to deliberately ignore the truth.

02:03:42.440 If whatever polls are showing, I think that's another way of demonstrating where do I

02:03:47.880 stand vis-a-vis this popular response. And I'm not running for office anyway. It's not that I'm

02:03:55.640 trying to campaign for anything. But when people look at me as a father figure, and that's what

02:04:00.460 they call me these days, by the way, most of these kids, when they talk to me, they address me as

02:04:05.160 father, meaning that they see that I can be unconditionally having their back. And I've

02:04:12.400 been around for 46 years, and they value that. They appreciate that. They're like, yeah, you could

02:04:17.500 gone and lived his life, but he hasn't. For 46 years he's been there fighting for us. And I think

02:04:23.660 that's the recognition. So that reporter is obviously not listening, right? Like he's just

02:04:28.580 waiting for an opportunity to interject and just ask the next question. He's not, he's not listening

02:04:34.500 at all to the answers being provided by his Royal Highness here. That's the affection. That's the

02:04:40.500 Trust. That's the trust. Most important element. People have lost complete trust to anything,

02:04:47.860 but they trust me. Do you know why? Because I've been consistent in my message, because

02:04:52.980 never wavered for my commitment to their liberation, and it has never been about me.

02:04:57.940 Why is it that even opposition groups in the past, I remember 2022, criticizing you and saying

02:05:04.820 Western politicians seeing in you the solution for Iran are very naive because they wouldn't see

02:05:11.240 why don't you ask those opposition groups and by the way where are those opposition groups today

02:05:16.220 maybe those opposition groups are part of the controlled narrative of the Islamic Republic

02:05:21.200 you know what we call those opposition groups we call them the fake opposition we call them

02:05:25.340 the controlled opposition those opposition groups are more concerned about keeping the

02:05:30.040 islamic republican power okay and so that's why they they criticize the shah those opposition

02:05:35.780 groups if they were legitimate opposition groups they would be attacking the islamic republic

02:05:40.440 the very fact that this journalist is now coming out and talking about how these opposition groups

02:05:46.560 are attacking the shah right that should clue in for you guys that should clue in anyone who's

02:05:52.380 attacking um our leader as opposed to the islamic republic they are part of the islamic republic

02:05:57.860 They are working for the Islamic Republic. Again, they are part of the fake opposition, right? The Islamic Republic spends billions of dollars on disinformation, misinformation, propaganda, lobby groups, pundits, you know, like journalists, everything you can think of, right?

02:06:14.720 I mean, if he wants to know why these so-called opposition groups are attacking his royal highness, shouldn't he go and ask those opposition groups?

02:06:28.540 Why is he, like, how would the Shah of Iran know why these opposition groups are attacking him?

02:06:34.700 Like, this is just a ridiculous line of questioning right now.

02:06:37.720 The, you know, the opposition against you and against what happened during the Shah time in Iran.

02:06:43.880 Now many of them, if they had said that, were now standing with me a couple years ago looking

02:06:50.320 at what we can do together.

02:06:52.160 Even people who were clearly part and advocate of the regime have come out and say, we need

02:06:59.200 to work with Reza Pahlavi.

02:07:00.980 He's the only person who can take us to the point where we are finally liberated.

02:07:05.600 Former, you want to call them enemies or adversaries, are today in our camp.

02:07:11.120 Not my camp.

02:07:12.120 It's a national project.

02:07:13.120 This is not about me yet again, it's not about the monarchy, it's not about the past, it's about liberating our nation so we could have a secular, democratic future, which is the aspiration of my fellow companions.

02:07:25.920 Wouldn't it be important, if you want to unite everybody, that you also talk about what happened during the Shah time?

02:07:32.380 I have, I've written.

02:07:34.260 What an ignorant, stupid question.

02:07:38.260 We already know what happened during the Shah's time.

02:07:40.720 The Shah was amazing, we love the Shah.

02:07:43.120 Again, this guy is trying to Iran-splain our country to us. He's trying to Iran-splain our history to us. The Shah's only mistake, guys, the Shah's only mistake leading up to the 1979 Islamic Revolution is that he was not hard enough on the communists and the Islamists.

02:08:03.840 The Shah's only mistake is that he showed too much mercy.

02:08:07.340 The Shah's mistake is that he tried to appease the terrorists.

02:08:11.160 He tried to negotiate with the terrorists.

02:08:13.360 And you know what they did?

02:08:15.360 They stabbed him in the back.

02:08:17.060 They took over our country and they turned it into a 7th century Islamic hellhole.

02:08:21.180 That was the only mistake the Shah ever made.

02:08:24.720 I've been reading books about it.

02:08:25.680 I'm on the record.

02:08:26.660 I've been critical of many aspects of what happened before.

02:08:29.200 if they only choose not to be selective about where it is that they use a quote by me and where

02:08:36.240 they choose not to because it happens to in fact debunk their entire narrative about the past i've

02:08:42.860 been on the record i point you to my books my interviews and i've done that so as far as that

02:08:48.420 argument goes i think the evidence is right there for everyone to see and i'm not shying away from

02:08:53.160 it if you ask me right now where aspect i would criticize i would still do but this is what is

02:08:57.480 And I tell people, I'm not here to write history, I'm here to make history.

02:09:02.720 And we are making history.

02:09:04.400 And that's why yesterday's foes have become today's allies.

02:09:09.240 Because we all recognize that we have to look forward, learning, of course, learning from

02:09:15.780 the mistakes of the past.

02:09:17.480 So we can build.

02:09:18.480 What was the biggest mistake, if you call it mistake, of your father?

02:09:25.280 more participation, and I think that the level of economic development was not necessarily

02:09:34.040 parallel to the level of liberalizing the system.

02:09:37.600 Not that my father didn't want that, let me be very clear about that.

02:09:41.080 Why would he send all these young kids to be educated in Western universities, bring

02:09:47.180 together with them the very same values that the free world has, if he didn't have the

02:09:52.440 intent to in fact liberalize the country at the same time. He did that. My father implemented

02:09:59.000 programs that were more socialist than any socialist government at the time.

02:10:02.040 Now you're not talking about his mistakes. Now you're talking again about what he did right.

02:10:06.360 Wow. Like this guy, okay. He just said what the mistake was. The mistake

02:10:12.360 was that he wasn't like, I guess, managing the modernization fast enough or slow enough

02:10:17.480 or whatever the case might be. Like this guy is completely antagonistic here right now. Like this

02:10:23.560 is what an utter backstabbing idiotic fool this journalist, this so-called journalist is right

02:10:33.640 now. Like the only thing he's interested in is smearing the Pahlavine. That's exactly it, right?

02:10:41.380 Like he's not interested in learning. He's not interested in being objective, right?

02:10:47.480 He completely ignores the fact that the Shah was literally paying for Iranian university students to go and get a Western education so that they could then come back to Iran and contribute to society.

02:11:03.360 What sort of authoritarian dictator does that? What sort of authoritarian dictator pays for its young people to go and get an education abroad to then come back and serve the country?

02:11:17.480 who does that no authoritarian dictator and yet he he just conveniently ignores that fact

02:11:24.840 because he just wants to push this narrative of the shah of iran being an authoritarian dictator

02:11:31.500 that's all he wants that's all he wants to to push forward right the authoritarian dictators

02:11:39.180 are the ones who are currently currently occupying iran it wasn't the shah of iran

02:11:46.720 I was asking you, what was his biggest mistake? What about the prisons? What about the people?

02:11:51.920 There were the prisons, right? Again, like, so this guy just basically wants his royal highness

02:11:58.160 to just accept the propaganda that's being put out by the communists and the Islamists and the

02:12:05.520 jihadis, right? But of course he's not going to admit to that because it's all false. It's not

02:12:11.520 true right like this journalist is literally trying to force the the the shah of iran right

02:12:19.280 now to admit to things that never actually happened it is utter nonsense like this right

02:12:26.160 now is like pure pure trash like i'm i'm surprised um not surprised but you know like the level of

02:12:34.480 patience that his royal highness is showing right now the level of patience and grace um

02:12:40.320 I mean, this is why this is why we have him as our leader, because he has to constantly deal with the lies, the propaganda, the fake news, right, the communist narrative.

02:12:55.740 He constantly has to deal with this. Right. And I mean, instead of focusing on on freeing Iran, this journalist just wants to talk about why the Shah was bad.

02:13:06.320 Well, the Shah was not bad. Get over it. We love the Shah. The Shah was amazing. That's why people

02:13:12.960 in Iran chant his name. The only people who don't like the Shah are the Islamists and the communists,

02:13:18.860 the one who ruined our country and are still ruining our country to this day. And this

02:13:24.240 journalist right now is being either a useful idiot for them or he's being paid and he has

02:13:31.020 ulterior motives here realization but also understand that this was in the climate of the

02:13:36.360 cold war and many countries who lived to uh the life under uh soviet dictatorship knew that there

02:13:44.280 were elements in there like the today party which was a communist party taking direct order from

02:13:52.140 moscow to undermine our sovereignty and interfere in iran affairs in the name of being uh you know

02:14:00.060 not participating in the political sphere, but they were also innocent victims of that liberal

02:14:05.800 expectation that also faced the same type of put aside. And I think that was a mistake because

02:14:13.080 that was one of the elements that created the political crisis. However, if you were to talk

02:14:19.360 to these elements who said, well, the system was not free, liberty was not as such, we were not

02:14:25.880 doing this, we're not doing that. It was perhaps political liberties, but there are also a lot of

02:14:30.840 other aspects that did exist that now when they look back and they say, we should have taken

02:14:35.500 the opportunity when the Shah finally said that, okay, I'm going to step back and allow for that

02:14:41.740 to take place. Some people may argue, maybe by the time it was too late, but he did recognize that.

02:14:47.460 And the opposition today recognizes that we should have taken advantage of that new opening

02:14:53.140 rather than rally behind Khomeini as if he could be the instrument of Iran's liberalization.

02:15:01.200 And by the time they recognized what the true nature of the regime was, it was by then too late.

02:15:06.860 So, you know, it goes both ways.

02:15:08.620 You can be critical of what went wrong.

02:15:10.420 I admit it.

02:15:11.300 I volunteer it.

02:15:12.400 I recognize it.

02:15:13.420 So does the opposition.

02:15:15.380 So it's not a one-way street.

02:15:17.160 I think the opposition of the regime in the past also bears some responsibilities.

02:15:23.140 in the sense of where they went wrong as well.

02:15:26.080 So I think rather than being in a position

02:15:28.880 to accuse one another of wrongdoing,

02:15:32.080 we should both sides recognize where we did right

02:15:36.760 and where we did wrong.

02:15:38.460 And as a result, understand why it is that now

02:15:42.100 we need to work together.

02:15:43.900 So not only we achieve what we always wanted,

02:15:47.020 but don't repeat the mistakes that we made before, collectively.

02:15:50.600 So it's not a one-way street.

02:15:52.300 It has to be, and that's the spirit of my campaign.

02:15:56.300 It's based on national reconciliation.

02:15:58.340 What does national reconciliation mean?

02:16:01.180 It means that the people who until now thought

02:16:03.100 that they cannot be on the same boat

02:16:04.940 could in fact live under the same roof

02:16:07.520 and be an instrument for a better future

02:16:09.800 as opposed to a stumbling block towards that future.

02:16:12.880 So that's the nature of what Iran had to go through

02:16:16.040 in 46 years.

02:16:17.620 And the fact that at the end of the tunnel,

02:16:19.860 We all recognize that this is a gift to have had this experience, sometimes having paid a very heavy price, but it puts us in such a better shape now to then address the future.

02:16:33.100 That's what I'm working on with the opposition, including those who yesterday were opposed to my father's regime.

02:16:39.180 You said it could happen very fast.

02:16:41.620 I still would argue if there needs to.

02:16:45.600 Who are you to argue?

02:16:46.940 First of all, you know nothing about Iran.

02:16:48.660 You're basically a communist Islamist mouthpiece.

02:16:52.100 You're not even Iranian.

02:16:53.700 So who are you to argue?

02:16:55.460 Your opinion is irrelevant.

02:16:58.700 Maybe instead of just pontificating, you should just listen to Iranians and actually take the opportunity to learn something.

02:17:06.460 Again, this guy is a classic example of these so-called armchair experts who think they know our country more than we do, who think they understand Iran more than we do.

02:17:18.660 And they are constantly trying to Iran-splain our country to us

02:17:22.660 as if we are somehow these ignorant, illiterate savages

02:17:26.340 who don't understand anything or don't know anything, right?

02:17:29.380 Like, who are you to argue?

02:17:31.320 Who are you?

02:17:32.660 Gosh, this guy is, like, completely pissing me off.

02:17:35.740 Like, what an idiot.

02:17:37.140 A special momentum, something, what happened inside the country.

02:17:42.360 Another bombing campaign, I don't know.

02:17:43.940 But, like, what is it?

02:17:46.340 What needs to happen?

02:17:47.440 and that the uprising is really happening?

02:17:52.860 Again, I think part of it is an external component.

02:17:56.920 Like what?

02:17:57.840 Like, let's say if Snapback was to be implemented,

02:18:01.760 how much more it would curtail regime's abilities.

02:18:04.660 The external component, I mean,

02:18:06.740 he already spoke about that earlier in the interview, you idiot.

02:18:09.400 He was speaking about maximum pressure, right?

02:18:11.640 Prescribing the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps.

02:18:14.020 The external element is having, you know, governments recognize that the Islamic Republic is a terrorist entity and sanction them.

02:18:21.740 That's what it is.

02:18:22.420 Like, he literally just said that.

02:18:25.260 But also, if there's an actual dimension to the maximum support that I've been calling for all along, in what way it would have direct impact on people's ability to better organize themselves?

02:18:34.300 But could it happen, for example?

02:18:35.520 This is the reason how it can be accelerated rather than delayed.

02:18:39.420 But we talked about Khamenei, for example.

02:18:44.020 why is this guy constantly talking over the like so incredibly disrespectful oh my gosh

02:18:50.360 example if if he would be killed in the next weeks months the next year is that something

02:18:56.860 where you could think i don't think it's a stumbling block oh my god i mean this reporter

02:19:03.700 is really upset he wasn't born before he could join the red army 100 like the oh my gosh like

02:19:10.700 This guy is just, what an idiot.

02:19:14.920 It may, in fact, have positive ramification in the sense that the regime is even more fragile in terms of finding the replacement, so to speak.

02:19:29.480 Some people would like to see him alive to see the demise of his regime and face the music and answer in a court of law for all the crimes he has committed.

02:19:38.660 So some people, if I could like him to one day see that.

02:19:42.280 So honestly, if you ask me, I don't care either way whether Khamenei is alive or dead.

02:19:47.740 The regime is dying.

02:19:49.540 And this regime is dying.

02:19:51.300 And the people of Iran are seeing this as an opportunity not to be missed.

02:19:54.820 And we are doing everything we can as Iranians to mobilize ourselves.

02:19:59.100 We hope, however, that the world this time is not going to say, wait a second, we have

02:20:03.480 to somehow figure out a diplomatic way out.

02:20:06.320 And if that doesn't work, we're going to go and strike Iran again militarily.

02:20:10.800 And once again, the Iranian people are not part of the alternative analysis and equation.

02:20:16.020 Did it hurt you with the opposition aligning with Israel and the U.S. during the bombing campaign?

02:20:21.140 Because also many civilians died in June and people...

02:20:25.620 But we didn't have to align.

02:20:27.520 And understand one thing.

02:20:28.660 I have warned time and again, not only my fellow compatriots, but also the world, that

02:20:37.140 if you continue a political appeasement vis-a-vis this regime, if you continue thinking that

02:20:44.140 you can resolve the problem by negotiating with them, if you continue by releasing funds

02:20:50.100 that they shouldn't have had access to to begin with, which happened under the Biden

02:20:54.740 administration. Over $200 billion came to the hand of the regime to use it to maintain its

02:21:01.240 proxies, like Hezbollah and Hamas. And October 7th was not a coincidence. It was a result of that.

02:21:08.580 So we then are forced with a scenario that some countries, like Israel, would have to take a step

02:21:15.580 to alleviate the problem. I warned about that, that it should not come to a conflict.

02:21:20.240 conflict, but you jumped directly yet again from failed diplomacy to now military conflict.

02:21:27.260 And all these years before we reached what happened a couple of months ago, I've been

02:21:31.580 telling Americans, Europeans, and other people, there is a third way.

02:21:37.160 And that third way is to help the Iranian people.

02:21:39.660 Could Israel help to overthrow this regime?

02:21:42.880 Yes, they can.

02:21:44.480 So can America.

02:21:45.480 So can Europe.

02:21:46.480 on how you reassess your policy and your strategy. The strategy should no longer be based on

02:21:53.120 appeasement and trying to find a scenario of diplomatic resolution.

02:21:58.000 Could, at the end of our interview, we're in Germany right now, is there anything

02:22:04.720 what Germany should do, what the chancellor should do, the foreign minister should do right now?

02:22:10.240 I think leadership has been, in terms of courageous leadership, taking a strong position,

02:22:19.840 really absent in the European theater when I come to think of it. Look, we've seen time and again

02:22:26.480 how critical it is to have the element of true strength mobilize and change the momentum and

02:22:37.360 of history. The last time I saw it was when Ronald Reagan and Margaret Thatcher came and

02:22:41.800 pretty much forced the hands on Mr. Gorbachev. And ultimately, it led to the collapse of the

02:22:49.980 Soviet Union. Thatcher couldn't do it alone. Ronald Reagan couldn't do it alone. And if you

02:22:56.600 look at Donald Trump right now, and if you're looking at what Putin is doing in Moscow, what

02:23:01.340 communist party is doing in china what in counterbalance to those blocks is the west doing

02:23:08.460 the west right now and most of europe is not showing the kind of courage it takes to be strong

02:23:14.700 and not allow a regime to blackmail you by taking hostages leading you to think that they are not

02:23:21.180 honest about coming to negotiation because meantime iranian people are getting killed

02:23:25.180 and the rest of the region is suffering, and you have all sorts of human, you know,

02:23:31.820 situation developing. Gaza is not off my radar. I really feel bad for what's happening there as

02:23:40.300 a consequence of this status quo. And I think part of the blame should come to the very same

02:23:45.340 governments that through their laissez-faire and appeasement have been responsible somewhat

02:23:51.260 in the tragedy that is happening now because they allowed for the regime in Iran to survive

02:23:56.900 all these years by funding these terrorists, by funding those elements of repression that then

02:24:02.720 forces the government to react. So let's one time blame not the victims, but those who are

02:24:11.620 responsible for this crime. And there's none other than the Islamic regime in Iran that some in the

02:24:17.320 still think they can reason with and all this time I'm saying you have wasting time and all of that

02:24:23.540 means more human casualties all of this been more forced migration that Europe can hardly handle

02:24:29.900 all of because the status quo continuing why don't you think that you can for once in 46 years

02:24:37.040 alter your thinking and anticipate that what could be the benefit of this change you want to make

02:24:43.740 sure it's not mayhem, we have a solution for that. You want to make sure it's not crisis after

02:24:48.680 collapse, it's not going to be another Iraq. Every area of concern that you may have, we have an

02:24:54.180 answer for it. All you need to do is to decide to discontinue a policy of appeasement and throwing

02:25:01.320 a lifeline to the regime to the benefit of now standing in solidarity with this country. And

02:25:06.300 you will see that most of the problems will be resolved that will not lead you to sacrifice some

02:25:12.340 principles, or for that matter, have to utilize force.

02:25:16.940 Because the biggest guarantee are the people of Iran once liberated, that will demonstrate

02:25:23.440 that unlike this regime, they are not a threat to the Western world and Western values and

02:25:30.100 Western beliefs.

02:25:31.100 In fact, they espouse it.

02:25:33.820 In a population in Germany, the Chancellor knows that there's almost half a million Iranians

02:25:40.000 who are now German citizens who live in this country, many of whom want to go back to Iran

02:25:45.700 once liberated, and they're all successful entrepreneurs, doctors, they're part and

02:25:50.680 parcels of what makes Germany a strong country.

02:25:53.180 You have actually human assets that could then be the best ambassadors for the relationship

02:25:59.080 between our liberated country and a country like Germany, and any other country in Europe

02:26:04.420 probably will have the same kind of sentiment.

02:26:06.820 All it takes is for the kind of leadership he said, we have had it with this regime.

02:26:12.700 Basta, as the Spanish would say, it is time.

02:26:16.380 We give the Iranian people the opportunity that they well deserve.

02:26:20.340 You don't have to do anything beyond that.

02:26:22.080 Just recognize that delaying the problem by thinking that this regime will this time offer

02:26:28.220 you the solution is the wrong approach.

02:26:30.660 It's just wasting time.

02:26:32.380 That's all I'm saying.

02:26:33.120 Thank you very much for your time.

02:26:35.020 and i wish you and the iranian people all the best thank you very much i appreciate it thank

02:26:38.940 you thank you wow so that uh reporter obviously a bad actor ignorant like he he got incredibly

02:26:47.500 aggressive towards the end of that uh interview but you know thankfully his royal highness

02:26:53.420 was able to put him in his place right and that is why we as an iranian nation support him

02:27:00.700 um we trust him and that is why he is the legitimate leader of the iranian opposition

02:27:06.540 because he has been facing this type of criticism for the last 47 years and he deals it with uh he

02:27:12.380 deals with it with such grace and dignity um and eloquence right he puts people in their place and

02:27:18.300 he always comes from a place of truth and facts you know again as i as i showed you guys um

02:27:24.460 you know, he has a support of over 80% of Iranians, right? Like this poll here was from a few years

02:27:35.240 ago. And you can see, not even a few years ago, he was at 80%. That support has risen exponentially,

02:27:41.440 guys, risen exponentially. I see a comment here from Major. Riza II is a better speaker

02:27:49.840 than almost every world leader I have ever seen. No, 100%. And not only that major, he actually is

02:27:56.200 fluent in at least three languages, English, French, and Farsi. And what I'm going to do is,

02:28:02.120 I believe, you know, at another point in my daily live streams, I'm going to actually play for you

02:28:08.540 guys his media presser that he did this past summer, where he was literally fielding questions

02:28:18.200 from journalists in real time in both English, French, and Farsi all at the same time. So he is

02:28:25.400 incredibly educated, incredibly well-spoken, and we as Iranians are very, very lucky and blessed

02:28:32.340 to have him because without him, we will not be able to overthrow the Islamic Republic. And that

02:28:38.820 is why he is the constant target of smear attacks, of disinformation, of misinformation, of

02:28:46.020 propaganda, right? Because the Islamic Republic views him as the only legitimate and credible

02:28:52.880 threat. This is why we Iranians support him overwhelmingly, as I have shown. So guys,

02:28:59.200 thank you so much for joining this live stream today. And just a quick reminder,

02:29:07.320 my book is available for pre-sale. It comes out on December 7. But if you've enjoyed my viral

02:29:14.880 video clips, you know, Iranian here with another pro tip from the Middle East, make sure that you

02:29:19.900 order my book, it would make an amazing Christmas present as well. And it just gives you a primer,

02:29:25.400 you know, an overview on the Middle East. Now, I just want to be very clear, this book is not meant

02:29:30.680 for people who are experts on the Middle East. So you know, if you're knowledgeable, and if you

02:29:36.460 understand what's going on, probably not, you know, the best book for you. The intended audience

02:29:43.080 here is people who are not familiar with the Middle East, who have, you know, heard about it

02:29:48.180 in the news, don't really know what's going on. You're not really sure where to turn to. This book

02:29:54.820 is sort of a, you know, Middle East 101 meant for those who are not as familiar with it. So you can

02:30:01.760 find it on Amazon. If you're watching this live stream on X, I've included the link in a post

02:30:09.900 below my live feed. If you're watching this on YouTube, then of course the link to pre-order the

02:30:16.760 book is in the YouTube description. All right, guys, I will see you. For those of you who join

02:30:21.960 me for my evening shows, I will see you later tonight on my evening live stream where we

02:30:30.780 basically watch documentaries about Iran and we rate them. So for those of you joining tonight,

02:30:36.960 I'll see you then. For those of you who are not and are joining me for my daily live streams,

02:30:41.580 I will see you tomorrow at 12 noon Eastern for another episode of The Goldie Show. And as always,
