Part 6/9:
The speech shifts to a critique of Iran’s oppressive leaders, accusing them of imposing tyranny, poverty, and war upon their people for over four decades. Iranians are denied fundamental rights—free expression, assembly, and access to information—with dissidents publishing their truths abroad under threat of persecution.
The speaker laments the loss of potential leadership, referencing dissidents like Ned and Navidid—who could have led Iran toward prosperity, but have been killed or exiled. Instead of investing in hospitals, schools, and infrastructure, Iran’s rulers have diverted vast sums of money into military and clandestine pursuits, neglecting the well-being of their citizens.
