1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:11,800
Great. Check one, two. Alright. So we have it for the cameras. Could you introduce yourself

2
00:00:11,800 --> 00:00:17,440
and tell us which organization you're with? I'm Zara Fakari and I'm Officer of Iranian

3
00:00:17,440 --> 00:00:29,240
Student Association at UWM. Milwaukee. When and why did you leave Iran? My parents

4
00:00:29,240 --> 00:00:34,160
say love to Iran and it was because of the revolution and also my father was a

5
00:00:34,160 --> 00:00:40,360
political prisoner in Iran because he was against IRGC so we had that kind of

6
00:00:40,360 --> 00:00:44,920
thing in our family so it was better for our safety to not leave there anymore.

7
00:00:44,920 --> 00:00:50,880
Have you ever been there to visit? Yes. When was the last time you were there?

8
00:00:50,880 --> 00:00:57,640
More than six years ago. How would you describe life there before the war began?

9
00:00:58,640 --> 00:01:08,400
People were in Iran we had a lot of uprisings so we were always waiting for a

10
00:01:08,400 --> 00:01:14,720
good moment that people can't get rid of the Islamic regime so what I would

11
00:01:14,720 --> 00:01:19,680
see every time more hope in people's lives and they were waiting for the

12
00:01:19,680 --> 00:01:23,800
moment whenever you would even sitting in the taxis or talking with youth or

13
00:01:23,880 --> 00:01:28,360
old people they would always say that it's pretty close to see the moment that

14
00:01:28,360 --> 00:01:35,320
they're gone and right now I see that even after facing all of these

15
00:01:35,320 --> 00:01:42,040
strikes in the country there are all agreeing in this that living under the

16
00:01:42,040 --> 00:01:48,040
common age dynasty is more horrible and terrifying for them than the threat of

17
00:01:48,280 --> 00:01:53,680
my souls so that's how they see the situation and how they are waiting for

18
00:01:53,680 --> 00:01:58,600
the moment to see the freedom for Iranian people because they not only

19
00:01:58,600 --> 00:02:01,960
thinking about their nation but also the other nations that they're already

20
00:02:01,960 --> 00:02:06,640
getting involved and they have been involved for 47 years so it's something

21
00:02:06,640 --> 00:02:11,240
that's national wallet and it's something that would help everyone to see the

22
00:02:11,240 --> 00:02:17,040
freedom and have a better and safer word and that's all we are thinking of right

23
00:02:17,040 --> 00:02:23,240
now tensions have been building for a while for months between the United

24
00:02:23,240 --> 00:02:27,760
States and Iran what was your reaction when you learned that a military strike

25
00:02:27,760 --> 00:02:36,360
from America and Israel had begun because I was in the all the uprisings it as I

26
00:02:36,360 --> 00:02:40,600
said it was not just started like a couple of months ago but the worst thing

27
00:02:40,600 --> 00:02:46,800
that happened to Iranian people was two months ago that the country was again

28
00:02:46,880 --> 00:02:53,280
under the blackout for more than 10 days we could not hear from them even the

29
00:02:53,280 --> 00:02:58,080
phone lines inside Iran was completely cut it off and people would even neighbor

30
00:02:58,080 --> 00:03:02,080
to neighbor they could not call each other so in that moment they slothered

31
00:03:02,080 --> 00:03:08,320
more than 30,000 people in the country whoever I knew as an Iranian I would

32
00:03:08,320 --> 00:03:11,760
talk to them and they knew someone close to their families relatives or friends

33
00:03:11,760 --> 00:03:19,200
that they lost their lives so we all of these tensions started before whatever

34
00:03:19,200 --> 00:03:24,880
happened with the intervention of any country like Israel or US so we faced

35
00:03:24,880 --> 00:03:31,080
that and we were all depressed and crying our eyes out for more than two

36
00:03:31,080 --> 00:03:36,600
months and after that that the blackout finished we could see what has happened

37
00:03:36,600 --> 00:03:42,760
to Iranian people and then at that moment we tried all diaspora and Iranian

38
00:03:42,760 --> 00:03:46,160
people outside of Iran we tried to be their worries and asking other countries

39
00:03:46,160 --> 00:03:51,960
to help our people because for 47 years we tried different ways with

40
00:03:51,960 --> 00:03:59,000
uprisings we protesting with everything we could not help as our nation we could

41
00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:03,560
not do anything for ourselves the only thing that the most precious thing is

42
00:04:03,640 --> 00:04:09,720
our lives we lost a lot of lives we do not have anything more to offer and also we were

43
00:04:09,720 --> 00:04:15,080
saying that other countries are facing some issues with IRGC and Islamic Republic and the

44
00:04:15,080 --> 00:04:20,120
threat is not just for Iranian people they're already kidnapped that's what I see

45
00:04:21,960 --> 00:04:27,960
even right now after 250 hours of blackout they're kidnapped so they're there and the

46
00:04:27,960 --> 00:04:32,280
the other nations are saying everything all of the tourist activities all of the

47
00:04:32,280 --> 00:04:37,080
things that happening and threatening people's lives in other countries if you dig into them

48
00:04:37,080 --> 00:04:42,680
there are some hands of them in that and they're Iran is a very wealthy country they have a lot

49
00:04:42,680 --> 00:04:49,160
of oil and gas and all the money just goes to supporting and funding tourist activities around

50
00:04:49,160 --> 00:04:57,240
the world so we begged for this moment honestly all of the uprisings and all the protests and

51
00:04:57,240 --> 00:05:02,840
rallies that happen even outside of Iran we were mentioning that we need help from

52
00:05:02,840 --> 00:05:09,400
us we were calling the president we were asking all the countries that it could help us so

53
00:05:10,040 --> 00:05:15,560
it was something as an intervention that they could help Iranian people to remove this Islamic

54
00:05:15,560 --> 00:05:21,800
regime and then Iranian people do the job and make the country a free country and taking back

55
00:05:21,800 --> 00:05:33,240
our own country to the the country the real Iran that was for 47 that was in 1979 it was a real

56
00:05:33,240 --> 00:05:38,680
Iran people were always judging Iranian people based on the country that it is right now because

57
00:05:38,680 --> 00:05:45,720
of the government we tried so hard and we are trying so hard to show that we are even kidnapped

58
00:05:45,720 --> 00:05:53,480
by them we are also under pressure of this government so we are Iranians and we are different we don't

59
00:05:53,480 --> 00:06:00,040
have anything to do with all of these activities and war should be a better place also for everyone

60
00:06:02,520 --> 00:06:08,600
so you do support the military action right now yes I do because as I said there was no other way

61
00:06:08,680 --> 00:06:16,040
around what are the discussions you have with other Iranians about the war who are here in

62
00:06:16,040 --> 00:06:23,560
Wisconsin with you we never say that we are not terrified we are we are scared of everything

63
00:06:24,280 --> 00:06:30,360
right now because there are different phases for Iranian people at first we were so happy because

64
00:06:30,360 --> 00:06:35,880
of the intervention that we were waiting for after that we got really happy and thrilled because of

65
00:06:35,960 --> 00:06:41,800
the death of the economy but we all knew that it's not just one person it's systematic we cannot

66
00:06:42,360 --> 00:06:48,280
say that and topple that government down just by killing one person now we are saying that

67
00:06:48,280 --> 00:06:55,400
everything is happening there and they are using Iranian people as human shield they're all getting

68
00:06:55,400 --> 00:07:00,600
hidden in the under the hospitals into schools even I'm seeing the Iranian

69
00:07:00,600 --> 00:07:08,200
Iranian TV that and media inside Iran that they're doing all their interviews exactly in front of

70
00:07:08,200 --> 00:07:13,560
the blackboards of the schools elementary schools so we are worried for our people it's not thinking

71
00:07:13,560 --> 00:07:17,960
about the military that is happening because we see that it's targeted and why the technology

72
00:07:17,960 --> 00:07:24,280
they can choose where to heat and what's happening there and those people who are responsible about

73
00:07:24,280 --> 00:07:30,280
all the things and terrorist activities are at the target but we are scared that as they never

74
00:07:30,280 --> 00:07:38,760
cared about humans lives in Iran they're again doing that at this moment using Iranian's life

75
00:07:38,760 --> 00:07:45,320
as a human shield so that's the most terrifying part for us right now who should lead Iran

76
00:07:47,400 --> 00:07:53,480
whoever Iranian people inside Iran and Iranian people outside of Iran agreeing with

77
00:07:53,480 --> 00:08:00,520
right now what I could hear the same both inside and outside of Iran was Rosa Pallavi

78
00:08:01,240 --> 00:08:07,160
and the everything that they were saying even the last time that Iran was not under

79
00:08:07,160 --> 00:08:14,600
back under the blackout there were a lot of Iranian students that they did protest inside the schools

80
00:08:14,600 --> 00:08:22,280
inside the university they were all chanting Javi Shah which in Persian means we're waiting for

81
00:08:22,280 --> 00:08:30,840
the king so Rosa Pallavi is the previous king son so now everyone is almost most of the higher

82
00:08:30,840 --> 00:08:36,680
percentage of Iranian people are agreeing on him and they're repeating the same sentence together

83
00:08:36,680 --> 00:08:42,120
inside and outside that's what I'm hearing and seeing so do you want free and fair elections

84
00:08:42,120 --> 00:08:51,400
for Iranians yes have you been in contact with family since the war began yes tell us about your

85
00:08:51,560 --> 00:09:07,080
family so it's so emotional it's because of the blackout there's no way to call them

86
00:09:09,720 --> 00:09:18,360
so they're calling us directly by the phone lines and the quality of the call is terrible

87
00:09:19,240 --> 00:09:30,040
what they say is always that we are okay everything is fine and everything will be fine

88
00:09:30,600 --> 00:09:39,000
do not worry about us and they're saying that they're gone they're already gone everything is

89
00:09:39,800 --> 00:09:47,720
finished at least in the minds of all Iranians so we know it's kind of over and we are waiting

90
00:09:47,800 --> 00:09:53,400
for that 24 hours that it happens because based on the history and everything that we read about

91
00:09:53,400 --> 00:10:00,760
other dictatorships everything happens in the last 24 hours they're standing to the last minute

92
00:10:01,320 --> 00:10:09,000
but they will fall down in a minute so what they're sharing is that and they're talking about how

93
00:10:09,000 --> 00:10:15,640
they're using tapes and scotches on the windows because they don't they really do not know

94
00:10:16,120 --> 00:10:22,520
where are they hidden for example my mother-in-law house all the windows shattered down because

95
00:10:23,640 --> 00:10:31,720
her house was close to one of the IRGC centers and by course I mean like more than five miles

96
00:10:31,720 --> 00:10:38,680
or six miles something like that but the point is that we are scary that if they're hidden in the

97
00:10:38,680 --> 00:10:45,080
neighbor in the other apartment beside you we do not know that's most of the times especially

98
00:10:45,080 --> 00:10:54,440
right now that they're targeted by missiles so she was like at first I was scared so bad and

99
00:10:54,440 --> 00:11:01,320
I was screaming and trying to get hidden because in Iran there is no sirens there is no shelters

100
00:11:01,320 --> 00:11:08,120
as I mentioned the government does not care less about human humans lives in Iran so there is nothing

101
00:11:08,120 --> 00:11:14,920
there people are just informing each other and imagine there is no internet so in 21st century

102
00:11:15,000 --> 00:11:18,600
how they can help each other someone is telling the other one or

103
00:11:19,320 --> 00:11:25,640
other opposite way they're just staring at the targets and recording that to just send it out to

104
00:11:25,640 --> 00:11:33,480
outside of Iran if they can but they are pretty sure that if the target the muscles are coming for

105
00:11:33,480 --> 00:11:40,840
targeting IRGC they're safe that's all I know and they feel like this but they're full of hope

106
00:11:41,800 --> 00:11:45,880
is it difficult being separated and not being able to communicate with family

107
00:11:47,880 --> 00:11:53,800
what I learned they could not cut off the line from inside calling from inside to outside

108
00:11:53,800 --> 00:11:58,680
but if I want to call them directly there is no chance and they don't have the internet

109
00:11:58,680 --> 00:12:05,000
either that's an outage nothing so when they call you is the only time you're communicating

110
00:12:05,480 --> 00:12:10,520
yes so yeah we set a time so they will do their best to call at that time in the morning

111
00:12:12,040 --> 00:12:18,760
that's how we can communicate but I'm comparing for example today it was the last I'm going to talk

112
00:12:18,760 --> 00:12:25,320
with them I'm comparing that to like seven days ago the quality of call is terrible and we were both

113
00:12:27,000 --> 00:12:33,160
saying that we guess that they're doing something with phone lines too and one of my other friends

114
00:12:33,240 --> 00:12:38,280
she talked on phone with her family and when she was like crying and asking like how is the

115
00:12:38,280 --> 00:12:43,800
situation because it's so hard from outside all your beloved ones all your family's relatives

116
00:12:43,800 --> 00:12:50,520
even your your own your own country is in a very bad situation it couldn't be worse than this but

117
00:12:51,400 --> 00:12:56,040
she was crying on the phone and when she said how is everything going on there the phone was cut

118
00:12:56,040 --> 00:13:02,760
it off all we you're pretty sure all of our calls are kind of be scanned or they're hearing

119
00:13:02,760 --> 00:13:09,560
what we were saying because they're filtering everything too so okay okay what are your hopes

120
00:13:09,560 --> 00:13:19,000
for family and the other Iranian residents still there I'm comparing my people with other countries

121
00:13:19,000 --> 00:13:24,440
like Ukrainian or other countries that they had the same situation I'm saying that Iranians are

122
00:13:24,440 --> 00:13:31,320
not escaping from the country they're not even going outside of Tehran or because many of my

123
00:13:31,320 --> 00:13:37,480
families are from Tehran in the capital and it was the main target they're staying at homes and

124
00:13:38,040 --> 00:13:43,000
they're not escaping from the country or even the city because they are waiting for better

125
00:13:43,000 --> 00:13:51,640
situation to come and also what I think is that people are like more trusted to

126
00:13:53,240 --> 00:13:58,520
Israel or USA if they're saying just stay at home they're rather to listen to that

127
00:13:59,240 --> 00:14:05,160
because the Iran government IRGC sent a text message to all the phone lines saying that if

128
00:14:05,160 --> 00:14:10,840
you're in Tehran leave Tehran and go to another city that was a text that they sent to Iran and

129
00:14:10,840 --> 00:14:17,880
people and then Iranian people were like okay if the IRGC says that we're not doing that that's

130
00:14:17,880 --> 00:14:24,280
how the scenario works there so I'm saying that they're not afraid they're recording the

131
00:14:24,280 --> 00:14:30,840
missiles coming down they are talking to each other easily and they are not escaping from their

132
00:14:30,840 --> 00:14:38,360
homes so I feel like it's so different from my culture to other cultures because they feel more

133
00:14:38,360 --> 00:14:42,920
belonging to the country and they feel like they have to stay at their homes and they have to

134
00:14:44,120 --> 00:14:49,560
support each other and do not get discouraged and also wait for that moment that's what I see

135
00:14:49,560 --> 00:14:59,000
from outside and as I mentioned the Texas from IRGC right now the Texas that they're receiving

136
00:14:59,000 --> 00:15:05,320
is that they're threatening Iranian people if they come outside and protest or do anything and

137
00:15:05,320 --> 00:15:12,920
there are going at night to people at night would chant from out and from their windows like

138
00:15:12,920 --> 00:15:20,440
death to victor, death to culminate something like this and then they started to walk it I mean

139
00:15:21,480 --> 00:15:29,000
driving around the area in the streets and playing some songs to cover those chanting and after that

140
00:15:29,000 --> 00:15:36,600
it didn't work now they're threatening people while they're driving around the area so now the

141
00:15:36,600 --> 00:15:44,280
situation is changed to threatening Iranian people on TV, on text messages now it's what they're saying

142
00:15:44,280 --> 00:15:51,560
inside. Okay you had said that you do want a regime change where do you stand on foreign

143
00:15:51,560 --> 00:15:59,480
intervention forcing that regime change is that do you support that? I do because after 47 years

144
00:16:00,440 --> 00:16:07,800
if you do have a checklist for getting rid of this regime we have done all the checklists

145
00:16:07,800 --> 00:16:14,040
it was the last option for us and also right now we're agreeing that together because the other

146
00:16:14,120 --> 00:16:21,400
they were saying that imagine after more than 10 days of being bombarded and all of those

147
00:16:21,400 --> 00:16:27,800
missiles to their centers to everything by the most powerful military service in the world like

148
00:16:27,800 --> 00:16:33,720
us and israel they're still there and they're threatening Iranian people how we could do that

149
00:16:33,720 --> 00:16:39,880
with bare hands was there any other option for us we could not see that and as I say the last option

150
00:16:39,960 --> 00:16:46,440
for us was losing more than 40,000 30,000 Iranian people I'm estimating the number because they

151
00:16:46,440 --> 00:16:52,040
would never let us know how many they are some Iranian organization by writing down the names

152
00:16:52,040 --> 00:16:57,080
they could do some estimations and now we know that they were with thousands of Iranian people so

153
00:16:57,080 --> 00:17:02,280
we don't have anything more to offer that's what we are thinking. Okay what are your thoughts about

154
00:17:02,280 --> 00:17:08,040
the anti-war protests here in the United States and those who think that America should not be

155
00:17:08,040 --> 00:17:18,840
waging this war? It's really important for everyone to know a people and talk to the people

156
00:17:18,840 --> 00:17:25,400
and understand those people from their shoes what I really want them if they are looking for

157
00:17:25,400 --> 00:17:32,040
something good for my people it's the best case scenario to ask my people whether is their thoughts

158
00:17:32,920 --> 00:17:39,400
no one says the war is good no one says that I want missiles to come to my country even if I say

159
00:17:39,400 --> 00:17:44,760
that there are IRGC centers there are buildings that they were built in my city in my country

160
00:17:44,760 --> 00:17:51,400
there are precious not only for me but also for my people but if it could help my people to live

161
00:17:51,400 --> 00:17:58,440
better life okay even not thinking about the better life if they can be safe for the next years or

162
00:17:59,000 --> 00:18:07,880
in the future I would like that to happen and also something helpful for other nations too

163
00:18:07,880 --> 00:18:13,160
they have to know what are we fighting with so if there is any other options for them

164
00:18:13,960 --> 00:18:17,400
let us know because we could not find any other solution for our people

165
00:18:17,400 --> 00:18:23,480
for our country for the safety of the Middle East now they can see how the IRGC is reacting

166
00:18:23,480 --> 00:18:30,840
they're bombarding Dubai Emirates it was so surprising for even Iranians that we are we can

167
00:18:30,840 --> 00:18:36,040
expect anything from IRGC there is nothing that you can tell me and I said that no there is a

168
00:18:36,040 --> 00:18:42,440
limit for IRGC there is no limit for them there is no limit in them for killing Iranian people

169
00:18:43,000 --> 00:18:49,080
for human shells there is no limit for them so what we are seeing is the true face of IRGC

170
00:18:49,080 --> 00:18:57,000
please see that and please talk to Iranians we Iranians who have our families are below ones

171
00:18:57,000 --> 00:19:02,680
inside Iran we would definitely know something that you might not feel it and all the scenarios

172
00:19:02,680 --> 00:19:08,760
are not as easy as you might think written on the paper everything might be complex and more

173
00:19:08,760 --> 00:19:19,000
complicated so we are thinking that this regime is more horrifying and more scary than IRGC to stay

174
00:19:19,400 --> 00:19:25,800
in our country that's what we think okay the Trump administration has said the reason

175
00:19:25,800 --> 00:19:30,520
that they began this war is to stop Iran from developing nuclear weapons what are your thoughts

176
00:19:30,520 --> 00:19:39,720
on that as a justification for this war based on my my experience they have never said anything

177
00:19:39,720 --> 00:19:46,360
right they were so professionally lying if they have said that they stopped that 100%

178
00:19:46,360 --> 00:19:50,680
it's a lie if you ask any Iranian they would say that they're definitely they're they're lying

179
00:19:52,200 --> 00:19:58,680
so if if they say that they stopped it I believe they did not if they say that they wanted to use

180
00:19:58,680 --> 00:20:05,640
it for peaceful or anything good for human being our 100th person say that it was wrong if

181
00:20:07,320 --> 00:20:15,400
if there is a use of having bombs by having nuclear technology 100% that's what they were

182
00:20:15,400 --> 00:20:22,440
looking for so even if they if they say that they stopped it I would not believe that no

183
00:20:22,440 --> 00:20:28,120
no Iranian would believe that so if any other countries say that no there is some doubts that

184
00:20:28,120 --> 00:20:34,600
they were continuing that and they were progressing on using on a nuclear weapon or something I do

185
00:20:34,600 --> 00:20:41,160
believe that more so there is a good chance for them what resolution are you hoping for in the end

186
00:20:41,480 --> 00:20:53,320
getting rid of Islamic regime Iranian people doing their job to make the country free and having a

187
00:20:53,320 --> 00:21:01,000
secular government and better place and showing the word what is a real Iran and what is real

188
00:21:01,000 --> 00:21:08,440
Iranian people and how it could be a better word with peaceful country in the middle list that's

189
00:21:08,440 --> 00:21:15,720
what we are looking for I've seen some discussion that the Iranian regime is now threatening

190
00:21:15,720 --> 00:21:23,960
Iranians living abroad have you seen or heard that are you concerned um you know you would be

191
00:21:23,960 --> 00:21:29,960
concerned if you it's your first time seeing that we're seeing that every day

192
00:21:30,600 --> 00:21:39,240
Iranian embassy sends a lot of emails to me I can show you there is sending a lot of

193
00:21:39,240 --> 00:21:45,800
Texas to families of people who are who their their daughters or sons or they're

194
00:21:46,360 --> 00:21:51,880
anyone close to them or outside of the Iran and they're right now the last threat was for less

195
00:21:51,880 --> 00:21:58,120
than 48 hours ago that they threat us that they will take over whatever we have inside Iran if

196
00:21:58,120 --> 00:22:02,120
I don't know if we have an appointment in Iran they're going to take it over because of my

197
00:22:02,120 --> 00:22:07,080
activity if I do have I don't know a land or any property that I do have they would take it over

198
00:22:07,720 --> 00:22:13,560
so this was the most recent threat but there are tons and we are every day we're receiving

199
00:22:14,360 --> 00:22:21,400
emails because if you if they can access to you via I don't know Instagram or

200
00:22:22,200 --> 00:22:27,880
Twitter or anything they would do that too so and we are living that life of having threats

201
00:22:27,880 --> 00:22:35,400
every single day you're concerned that attitudes towards Iranian Americans may change as the war

202
00:22:35,400 --> 00:22:41,960
goes on and more American soldiers are hurt or killed honestly what I'm seeing between

203
00:22:41,960 --> 00:22:51,160
Iranian peoples I'm not saying that um I'm gonna say that human lives is depending on their nationality

204
00:22:51,240 --> 00:23:00,280
but we are so so concerned that more non-Iranians losing their lives because we see that it kind

205
00:23:00,280 --> 00:23:07,400
of helped to our nation so what we're praying all the time is that there is less American or

206
00:23:07,400 --> 00:23:14,600
non-Iranian lives to lose their lives in this path and we all appreciating this and we cannot

207
00:23:14,600 --> 00:23:20,680
thank them enough for what they're doing for our nation I know they definitely go into reflect

208
00:23:20,680 --> 00:23:25,960
all other nation's lives too not only Iranians but at this moment we're just

209
00:23:26,760 --> 00:23:34,920
just concerned more lives going to be lost with this so we're hoping that date happens ASAP so

210
00:23:36,520 --> 00:23:45,800
human lives can be saved more not Iranian also but also Americans as well sure okay how old are

211
00:23:45,800 --> 00:23:53,320
you 30 32 32 32 okay um I've asked a lot of questions there anything else that I didn't ask

212
00:23:53,320 --> 00:24:03,400
this important um I'm saying because as a person who is trying to be Iranian's voice we and joining

213
00:24:03,400 --> 00:24:11,080
most of the rallies inside America and being a member of diaspora of Iranians um we are seeing

214
00:24:11,080 --> 00:24:17,400
other groups that they're against us and they're trying to fight against us and kind of stopping

215
00:24:17,400 --> 00:24:23,080
us or even intervening with all the rallies that we are doing and they're supporting IRGCs

216
00:24:23,080 --> 00:24:28,760
even if they don't think that they're doing but they are doing that so what I really want them to

217
00:24:28,760 --> 00:24:36,360
know is that just by supporting Iranian peoples they can fight against IRGC and if they're against

218
00:24:36,440 --> 00:24:43,240
Iranian people outside of Iran or inside of Iran there are indirectly they're supporting IRGC

219
00:24:43,800 --> 00:24:49,720
so I would like them to get more educated on what is the real story what is the real feeling

220
00:24:49,720 --> 00:24:55,480
of Iranians or at least talk to Iranians or read their stories or talk about what's happening in

221
00:24:55,480 --> 00:25:01,960
Iran how is their feelings when they do have parents inside Iran definitely their feeling would be

222
00:25:01,960 --> 00:25:07,720
more realistic than a person who does not have any member of their families than God that they

223
00:25:07,720 --> 00:25:15,320
don't inside Iran so listening to us and trying to understand us although this uh might not make

224
00:25:15,320 --> 00:25:22,840
sense because Noah would look for missiles or war in in their country but if there is something that

225
00:25:22,840 --> 00:25:30,600
we are like trying to get out of that is what the most important thing for us so I would like them

226
00:25:30,600 --> 00:25:38,120
to understand us and also Muslim people around the world I never felt like they're supporting us

227
00:25:39,000 --> 00:25:46,440
Iran has more than 90 percent of Muslims in Middle East so I want them to support Iranian

228
00:25:46,440 --> 00:25:51,480
peoples they're seeing what is happening to other countries even that country with supporting IRGC

229
00:25:52,520 --> 00:25:59,000
like Oman or Qatar or all those they're not still safe so I want them to see the real face and to

230
00:25:59,080 --> 00:26:07,560
understand who and where they have to stand for real peaceful word so that's all I'm asking them

231
00:26:07,560 --> 00:26:13,640
and do not stop us from what we are fighting for okay thank you so much for your time thank you

232
00:26:14,600 --> 00:26:19,320
could I have you say your name against us so I can the pronunciation correct Z-A-R-A

233
00:26:20,040 --> 00:26:28,280
F-A-K-A-R-I okay and how do you say it Zara Fakari Zara Fakari yes okay should we do room tone

234
00:26:28,280 --> 00:26:34,040
Lena I think that's okay it's pretty wide in here I think we're good we're just going to get

235
00:26:34,040 --> 00:26:35,480
some more footage of you
