      Did you know how many people live in tehran? It’s around over 10 million. Did you know how many people in this kind of gathering got paid?

      The Islamic Republic has completely destroyed the basis of our lives with this. If you go to their meetings, they will give you coupons or various things. While ordinary people are struggling in poverty (as I said, I earn $0.3 an hour), they encourage people to follow suit by giving them points. For example, a very simple and even humorous example: The former President of Iran, Raisian, when a worker of a company that was under the control of the Islamic Republic told him about the problems of life, he asked him: Did they give you lunch? As a child, I was tempted to join the Basij (its one of the organization of the Islamic Republic) because they had a swimming pool, free food, and other facilities.
