Iran Standing Strong, Trump Running Scared

Over 40 million Iranians came out for the funeral of their martyred Leader. Meanwhile, the cowardly narcissist murderer Trump is literally as well as figuratively defecating himself, whimpering fearfully as Israel feeds him stories about Iranians wanting to kill him. Well, guess what: they do! They want revenge for the 160 schoolgirls of Minab as well as the other murders. But the Iranian people aren’t alone. The whole world, and a likely plurality of Americans, would wildly celebrate should anything untoward happen to Trump.

Iran, in stark contrast, stands courageously united behind its Islamic Republican leadership.

This interview was broadcast live around 9:30 pm Tehran time Friday, July 10.

Transcript:

Marzieh Hashemi (Anchor): Thanks so much for staying with us right here at Press TV. Of course, throughout this week we have been covering the various processions of the martyred leader of the Islamic Revolution, Ayatollah Khamenei, from Tehran, then to Qom, and to Iraq to Najaf and Karbala, and of course yesterday to Mashhad. By this morning, we can say that it took time for millions and millions of people to turn out. We are looking at over 15 million, and some reports say over 43 million people participated in this funeral across both countries. It is an unbelievable event and a transforming situation taking place in the region.

I’d like to welcome my guests to this part of the program: joining us from Morocco is Kevin Barrett, editor of Veterans Today, and here in the studio with me is my colleague, Maryam. Thanks to both of you for being with me. I’ll start us off with Kevin. What are your overarching thoughts about the number of people that turned out for the various processions? What type of message does it send, considering this is the man that the U.S. said did not have any support and was a dictator?

Kevin Barrett: Yes, this was the biggest funeral in human history and one of the very biggest gatherings of people. It sent a very, very powerful message. It completely annihilated and obliterated the Western propaganda that has been going on for years, claiming that the leadership in Iran in general, and the late martyred Supreme Leader in particular, didn’t have any support. People now can see for themselves that there has really been no political leadership in history that has had this kind of backing.

When someone like Trump—whose poll numbers are ridiculously low and falling all the time as he blunders into another forever war—sees this, it triggers intense cognitive dissonance. This was the most obviously immoral as well as strategically stupid war in American history, which is saying a lot. Then Trump himself, and the Americans, see this kind of turnout and think, “Wait a minute, I thought he didn’t have any support. I thought nobody liked him.”

There’s just this huge cognitive dissonance that’s slapping awake everybody in the West who has been subjected to all of this propaganda over the years and decades. It’s very inspiring as well because there’s a spiritual dimension to this principled resistance—a resistance to aggression, to imperialism, and to genocide.

Marzieh Hashemi: The message overall that was sent, as Kevin ended his thoughts, is a sign of resistance to imperialism. I’m going to talk about that aspect because we know even inside of Iraq, the United States has continually tried to manipulate Iraqi politics to make sure that it’s more aggressive towards Iran, or anti-Iran. Despite all of what they have been trying to do, we saw millions and millions of people turning out throughout the country, especially in the cities of Karbala and Najaf. Maryam, what are your thoughts about that and the message overall that this sends?

Maryam Azarchehr: Despite everything the U.S. has tried, the numbers are reported to be 43 million and higher, and that’s not even taking into consideration everybody else who held a symbolic funeral. We know that in addition to the funeral processions that involved the martyred bodies of our leader and his family members, there were symbolic processions elsewhere because it couldn’t be arranged for the leader’s body to go to those places as well.

We had various funeral processions in the Beqaa Valley where a lot of people showed up for the martyred leader, and this was immediately after his martyrdom. If you take that into consideration, along with gatherings in Pakistan, and even in Germany where a few hundred turned out—and we know how the fascist regimes of those countries operate, seeing how they beat up protesters when they were protesting
