NCRI – An Iranian regime’s political analyst acknowledges that Iranian protesters are disappointed in the country’s so-called moderates and disgusted by regime’s president Hassan Rouhani.
In response to Ali Shamkhani, secretary of regime’s Supreme National Security Council, claiming that the country’s ongoing protests are ignited by foreigners, regime’s political expert Sadegh Zibakalam has written a letter, writing “I was surprised by your comments, attributing protests to Saudis. I was not aware that Saudi Arabia is so powerful that it can take thousands of Iranian youth in the country’s small and big cities to the streets. I was however more sorry than surprised by your comments.”
“(According to regime) all protest rallies over the past 40 years has been initiated by foreigners!” says Zibakalam.
“This is not the first time our authorities attribute popular protests to enemies’ conspiracies, and it won’t be the last. I don’t remember any other kind of reaction by our officials over the past 40 years.”
“The 2009 protests were attributed to British Embassy, Americans, and George Soros. Likewise, today’s protests are attributed to Daesh and Saudi Arabia. Of course, Israel, monarchists, Bahai’s and enemies’ infiltrates are also responsible. Everyone in the world, but the Iranian people and regime’s political, economic, and social performance are involved.
“It would be much better if instead of accusing foreigners and the Goblin Kingdom and resorting to conspiracy theories and fictitious ideas you could get off your high horse and go to people who are fed up with your policies, asking them about their concerns, the reason for their rebellion and the purpose of their protest. In that case, it wouldn’t be necessary to put the blame on the United States, Israel, Britain, Zionists, George Soros, Saudi Arabia, Daesh, and PMOI.”
At the end of his letter, Zibakalam writes “if instead of intimidating and show of force you were willing to listen to what the protesters have to say, you would have noticed that most of them are born during the 90s and for years have been unemployed. They’ve had no bright past and have no hope for the future, either. They’re twenty-somethings that despite getting graduated years ago are still living by their parents. They’re frustrated with hardliners and their Shariatmadari, disappointed in moderates and their so-called liberalism, and disgusted by Rouhani and his empty promises. Their sense of justice is at least much more than mine and yours, since they disgust and distrust all of us the same.”
