When Iran is lastly free and that second will come lots ahead of individuals assume – all the things might be totally different.
Our two historic peoples, the Jewish individuals and the Persian individuals, will lastly be at peace. Our two international locations, Israel and Iran, might be at peace.
When that day comes, the fear community that the regime in-built 5 continents might be bankrupt, dismantled. Iran will thrive as by no means earlier than.
World funding. Large tourism. Good technological innovation based mostly on the great abilities that exist inside Iran.
Doesn’t that sound higher than infinite poverty, repression and conflict?
From Qom to Esfahan, from Shiraz to Tabriz, there are tens of thousands and thousands of fine and respectable individuals with hundreds of years of historical past behind them and a superb future forward of them.
Don’t let a small group of fanatic theocrats crush your hopes and your goals. You deserve higher. Your kids deserve higher. Your entire world deserves higher.
I do know you don’t assist the rapists and murderers of Hamas and Hezbollah, however your leaders do. You deserve extra.
