This is Sajjad Asgari, an Iranian Air Force officer in Shiraz. In this video he threatens the chief of police of Iran & says he and the military personnel will not be helping them, but will be standing with the people...1/
Iran has 2 separate military branches. One is the IRGC commanded by Khamenei who are in fact oppressing protesters. The other is Iran's military who have yet to really get involved.Calls have been made asking the military to stand with the people. This is the first reply...2/
Sajjad: "I have a fair proposition for you Chief, You & everyone in your rank on one side, and us in the military alongside the people on the other side...it will be the the I die...the day you...the day you come to encourage your minions to shed the blood of the innocent."3/
The protests are still ongoing and enter their 17th day today. Meanwhile General Strike efforts have been growing as well.IF and that is a big If, the Military chooses to stand with the people and get involved, it's all over for the Islamic Republic.
Let me know when you all are ready to have a conversation about the deep rooted racism in leftist circles.
I'll just be here...
I got called a terrorist by an American "LEFTIST" today because I dated to criticize Iran's Theocratic regime, as well as U.S imperialism.
The superiority complex that western leftists have, convinced them they know better than people in non western countries than what's going on in their own countries. You don't. None of us need four lectures, labels and comments.
I can't find the original source for the Sajjad Asgari video so I can't confirm its authenticity. While it looks authentic I just want to be 110% sure, because that news will be the most important one since Mahsa's death itself.
1st source who published the video is an independent journalist who published it without any info. The info is coming from a 2nd source who claims to have relatives in Shiraz's air force who know of Sajjad Asgari.
These past couple of weeks have been rough, but a lot of you have helped me get through them with your support & kindness. It's only fair I acknowledge y'all & share the love.
