This war ruined my childhood and made me an immigrant. I remember bomb shelters, sinister air raid sirens, and anti air craft rounds lighting up the night sky. The announcers voice on the radio. The glass windows that we taped Xs accross. The food coupons. Years later, I'm in Phoenix, AZ, swimming in the pool with my older brother and his college buddies. I see a plane, get out of the pool, get my toy gun, and start shooting at the - in my mind - "Iraqi" plane. I now know why my brother's college friends, many of whom were Iranians, started crying with the sight of a six year old me doing that. It left such a bad taste in everyone's mouth that they threw me a fake birthday several days later and got me the coolest gifts I have been given to this day: He-man, Battlecat, Skeletor, Two-headed dragon, She-ra...
@@johnnyharrisbetter help is a really bad online service, don't risk your reputation promoting them. More when you are deliberately ambiguous, some will believe that you were referring to better help when you mentioned how much having therapy for years helped you.
But I had no way to escape or migrate, and I burned and burned! And then caught up in the ideological illusions of this corrupt government in Iran and the dirty games of American politicians, until today.😢
After high school in 2000, I joined the Marine Corps. A year later, 9/11 happened. President Bush and his administration really hammered on the WMD and chemical weapons Saddam had and my unit was sent in March 2003 looking for these weapons. We got to Baghdad and didn’t find said weapons and my unit was brought back after only 4 months. It felt very fishy that I didn’t serve the purpose I was trained for. Another commenter came down on me for joining and being part of this campaign but (1) I never killed a soul on Iraqi soil and (2) I was a dumb kid out of high school looking to serve my country. But after feeling lied to, I left the service after my four years were up and never looked back. I’ve been looking to learn more about this point in time I was a part of to understand the motives and politics involved. These videos help fill in the gaps to my knowledge of this conflict and I greatly appreciate them.
i was 2 when 9/11 happened so i dont really know what it was like back then but i did have a high school teacher who was in the USMC and was in Iraq for First Battle of Fallujah. he did 4 years and deployed twice in that time and wanted to stay in but could not support being part of another Iraq deployment in addition to the PTSD he had from getting injured from a bomb. dont feel bad about serving your country, i did too with the navy but got a medical discharge within the first year. for me it was a blessing is disguise. i still dearly love this country but do not agree with everything it stands for today. this is not what our founding fathers had envisioned. as far as looking into the motives and the politics, something that has helped me understand it all has been looking into what congress was saying in the official record as well as old news coverage of events. for the deeper meaning follow the money
I can tell you that this video only scratches the surface of the lies and politics behind the scenes. Everything from 9/11 to Afghanistan and the Iraqi invasion were filled with corruption that killed millions in Iraq, Afghanistan and US soldiers who were lied to.
It's messed up how the US government uses young impressionable kids as meat for their conflicts, even the soldiers don't know what they're fighting for, it's crazy
Do not ever feel guilty for serving your country! Thank you for your service. Have you ever watched the Shawn Ryan show on RU-vid? If you don’t I think you’d really love it, and it would be so good for you. There is a lot of support for military people, and their mental health. We do the best we can with the what we know at the time. I have no idea why people online want to be so rude and judgmental, but do not listen to it. EVER.
Thank you for your honesty. I know many from the military who have told me exactly what you said as far the military and our government lying to them about the region and why the U.S. was at war. Joining the U.S. Military is no longer about defending our country anymore since we are the ones usually initiating war. I seriously doubt that Saddam Hussein would have imitated war with Iran unless he knew in advance that he had the full support of the U.S. I wouldn’t be surprised if our nation, the U.S., actually approached Saddam and told him to invade Iran. The U.S. has been itching to invade Iran ever since it could no longer buy cheap oil with the puppet king Shah Pahlavi that the U.S. installed in Iran. Unfortunately, Saddam had full support from the U.S. to invade Iran and nobody seemed to care that the illegal chemical weapons were used on Iranian soldiers and the Kurds.. Heartbreaking. I hate all wars and I know these politicians would never send their own children to fight their wars. Of course, once the U.S. used Saddam to fight its proxy war on Iran, they turned on Saddam. Suddenly, our government realizes that Saddam is crazy? Yeah right. We have the best military intelligence in the world so our government always knew Saddam and used him to fight Iran. Glad you realized what really was going on and glad you return safely home and without harming others. Please continue to educate people about your military experience and d about our government because nothing will improve in our government unless we all stand united to improve our government and hopefully stop our government from initiating wars and destroying people and their nations. I would love for that region and other parts of the world to enjoy the peace that the U.S. experiences. We can’t continue to enjoy this peace if our nation continues to get involved in the business of other nations and invading other countries.
Do you really think only white people have done that before? When we say Western Cultures are civilized, I don’t think anyone in their right mind would be referring to this. And we don’t use one incident to define an entire culture and it’s values. I think everyone watching this who didn’t know about it in the West knows that that was awful and completely at odds with what we find acceptable. It’s also important to remind everyone that it could have been an accident. I completely understand why many are very suspicious of that narrative and that’s totally fair, but it’s not an impossible explanation. It’s not an excuse, it’s still totally unacceptable, and nobody should gotten a metal, that’s for certain. I wouldn’t be surprised if the US did that deliberately, but I also would not be surprised if they made a genuine mistake. That’s all I’m saying. Either way, it’s a travesty and nobody should have been rewarded for it. It’s a career-ending mistake.
During the attack on halabja my parents and my relatives were there at that moment they barely escaped from that disaster, every night my father gets nightmares about the day when they fled halabja. At the end as a halabja citizen I appreciate your work and documentary and thank you for mentioning this tragedy.
One important lesson from the Cold War is that the enemy of my enemy is not necessarily my friend. I feel bad for all the civilians that got caught up in this.
Exactly. We see the same pattern across a lot of our reporting. When so many groups play both sides of these wars, they get worse, last longer, and civilians always suffer.
Kurds should learn how to act .. they are Helping usa and terrorist destroy Syria now .. why don’t they just accept being part of a country as citizens ..
As a Kurd I went through several of these wars including the 1996 civil war, and after 13 years of displacement we fled and took a refugee boat to Australia :(
I was just in Halabja yesterday and cried... I'm visiting Iraq and the country has such a sad history. However in the past 5 weeks, the Iraqis have been so welcoming. So kind. Iraq is safe now and beautiful. Baghdad is such a fun vibrant city and Arabs and Kurds alike have shown me unwavering hospitality 🙏 Inshallah this safety continues
Kurds do not identify themselves as Iraqi but as Kurdistani and they have right to do so because their homeland is split between four countries by the French and British and yet the US follow their footstep. what happens to the Kurds is because of west since 1917. If it was not for us, the Arabs, Turks and Persians could never steal the land of the Kurds.
Like every heavily youtube marketed product, scammy scummy behavior (kamikoto, raycon, manscaped etc). The irony of a investigative journalist not investigating nor being critical of practices is pathetically hilarious though.
Iranian people proudly talk about eight years of defending their country. Greetings to the brave defenders of Iran who defended against several countries.
I’m kurdish from Kurdistan (northern iraq)….great video as always. Just wanted to point out that the casualties from Kurdistan weren’t between 50-100 thousand, it’s actually estimated that they were around 182,000 casualties, between dead and some missing to this day, we call it the 8 years of Anfal…..basically most villages (around 5000, including our own village) back then were destroyed, people killed, and ofc the halabca genocide too. May all their souls rest in peace. And thank you for the great video keep em up.
@@mason96575 I hope this is a bad joke, but in case it isn't, no. Curds and whey are byproducts of milk in the process of making cheese. Although they sound the same and have a similar spelling, that is coincidental. Kurds are the Kurdish minority people who live in various countries of the Middle East like Iraq, Syria, etc.
The majority of the US Military (Present) have nothing but respect for the Kurds and I wish our leadership would do the same. We should be doing everything within our Powers to establish an independent Kurdistan State which is owed at the very least.
I was born 3 months after the end of this war and I’ve heard countless stories from my dad who was a tank driver for the Iraqi army and was wounded 3 times. The people didnt want to fight but the leaders forced them into the army and to fight and it was all for nothing. It makes me appreciate my dad even more. Thank you for this video Johnny
At the beginning of the war, many iraqi civilians and even teenagers were forcefully recruited into the army including my dad when he was around 16, he fled to kuwait then jordan, some time later he flew to Sweden (late 80s) and now here i am, a born swedish citizen. the fact that we lost 500 billion dollars and a million lives during the Iraq Iran war. Forward we invaded kuwait and got bombed by like 4 different countries and having 661 imposed sanctions. During this time there was an uprising where up to a hundred thousand died. Going forward we've got the 2003 invasion followed up by a civil war and then ISIS pops up. How unfortunate, Iraq used to be the second richest arab country, our gdp growth was 6-8% per year (world top 10 in growth) I'd say atleast 1 trillion dollars lost due to these conflicts.
Yes They didn't won't to fight because at last they were Muslim and brothers but your leaders made them to fight.if Iran and Iraq didn't fight we could have not seen Palestine crisis 😕
@@ihdiadgdhwbad1 Yes thats the story of many Iraqis. We moved to Jordan in 1995 then migrated to New Zealand in 2000 and onto Australia in 2017. Now im a dual New Zealand and Australian citizen but still feel a connection to my home land even though I left when I was 6 years old and would love to visit one day. Much love to all my fellow Iraqis every where in the world. Muslim or Christian ❤️
My father served in the Iraqi army. Still has several nightmares a week to this day seeing scorched landscapes and desolate areas. I was born exactly 9 months after the war ended :)

He wasn’t even really a pan-Arab nationalist either. He just used it as a way to legitimize his power. He never actually worked on trying to create a pan-Arab state.
When Saddam Hussain’s Army invaded Iran I was just a little kid and just started second class in elementary school, at the beginning of the waging war no one thought it would be the longest and bloodiest war in our recent history, as the war grew the more soldiers killed or injured or captured by brutal and barbaric Iraqi army and their notorious intelligent service so called ESTEKHBARAT which tortured and abused thousands of Iranian soldiers or volunteers in battlefield, a lot of them very young teenagers, ( in contrast Iranian people and authorities never ever tortured or had any kind of bad behaviour to Iraqi captures, they all had good food nice shelter and even sports facilities) we as children were witnessed a lot of horrible things behind battlefield lines in cities and villages, such as night time bombardments, hearing or seeing missiles and fighter airplanes , all the time war news in national TV special operations…., day time watching the body of war victims in coffins which mentally had a very negative impact on us all made us badly depressed and so on ! When finally war ended in 1988 I became a young man , told you when started I was just a little child ! These bitter memories never go away from our generation till the end of our lives 😢😢
don't need to read further to figure out you're spewing bs, so you're saying that Iran never committed war crimes nor torture of Iraqi POWs? My uncle's friend who was captured in 1984 was tortured so much that when he got back after the prisoners exchange he had 0 sanity left, he died 3 years after getting back to Iraq. After the Battle of busaytin in 1981, which took place in Ahvaz province, and the Iranian forces suffered significant losses, which resulted in the removal of the Iranian armor weapon from the battle, the Iranian forces shot hundreds of Iraqi soldiers who fell into captivity after they ran out of ammunition, contrary to international conventions and conventions, in addition to violations that reached the point of shooting prisoners in captivity cages and in front of the International Red Cross missions that documented these violations .. Among the cases of violations documented by humanitarian organizations was the famous shot of the process of handcuffing a prisoner by his wrists and tying them to two cars driving in the opposite direction until they cut off his limbs, before preparing to shoot him, in an incident that has never happened before in the history of wars. This is just 1 incident in the early years if the war, there are thousands that were well documented throughout the 8 years war, you can lie to yourself with your nonsense but you can't fool anyone else with your lies.
this is a complete lie, Saddam Hussein quite literally put iranian kids into schools who were sent to fight on the frontlines, Iranian children were literally taken from the frontlines, and put into iraqi schools to prepare them for when they go back to Iran,
First USA removes Iranian democratically elected leader, and replaces him with a dictator, then sends money and weapons to Saddam, and now people wonder why does Iran hate USA?! Damn, thats a real head scratcher aint, it?
One thing that is not mentioned in the movie is that the Iranian soldiers tried to act in such a way that the number of dead on both sides of the conflict is minimized and even innocent civilians and soldiers are not killed. But the Iraqis killed anyone who had the slightest connection with Iran, even the baby, in the worst possible way. For this reason, most of those killed in the war are related to Iran.
This sums it up perfectly and shows the root cause of the deep-seated animosity. The Iranians were actually fighting against a force with full backing from major powers, including money and weapons. This also answers many questions about why many neighboring Arab countries later paid (and are still paying) a huge price for this and why Iraq is in ruins. Iranians have a strong cultural memory and historical consciousness; it is part of their identity.
The arms supplied to Iran by the US, both directly and through Israel and other third countries, was absolutely crucial to Iran's wat effort. Its huge fleet of warplanes and helicopters was completely American made. Its tanks and other armored vehicles were largely British. Iraq's military was mostly of Eastern bloc provenance. Without Western support of Iran the war would have ended in 1982 or 3.
@johngeren1053 Iran bought those weapons prior to revolution. Those parts helped very little during the war. It just kept some planes in the skies for a few more missions. Iranian blood saved Iran, nothing more.
An Assyrian Christian born in Iran. I vividly recall the air defense sirens, home basement shelters, school under ground shelters and streaks of bombs flying through the air at night. This war lasted almost a decade. Ten years of my earliest childhood. Countless lives lost. Wars are horrible.
alot of my relaives were a part of this war, as my grandpa who fought in northern border of this war for more than 8yrs and even after as mountain infantry officer (still alive but he lost his left eye). what a brutal war.. chemical weapons, teenager soldiers, dropping bombs on civilians and more, but for what? no one won, we all lost and more than 1.5M soldiers died and the stupid borderline never change. at least let us wish the peace to be upon all martyrs💐🕊️🇮🇶🇮🇷
After the war, Iran and Iraq slowly traded their captive soldiers, and all of them were released. The relations got better overtime, until Iraq opened the border for Iranians to go to Karbala, Najaf, Samara, and Kazemein for religious pilgrimage. That path is still open to this day. This was a considered as a major victory in Iran.
i have taken note, when it comes to fighting there is no permanent allies, just friend with benefits, when it goes sour then comes the gas lighting to switching sides
Johnny, can you make a video about what’s happening inside Al Jazeera? An Al Jazeera journalist was hiding hostages inside his house. You’re a journalist who LOVES to talk about Israel and Gaza, so I’m surprised you have stayed completely silent about this issue. I think you should explore the topic.
I love how Israel sees Iraq as a much greater threat than Iran so they supplied Iran not knowing that in the future that Iran is actually the greater threat lmao
Iran then was just emerged from a revolution, with domestic instability, so unlikely able to project regional power just like Soviet Union back in 1920s. Israel was right to view Iraq as greater threat than Iran based on Iraq proximity to Levant region, its secular Pan-Arabism dictatorship which has a lot in common with other hostile Arab states, Egypt and Syria.
@muhsein lol Israel just made sure Saddam Hussein is not a threat to them. Also they will make sure Iran is not a threat to them you will see. There has been no empire or regime in history that has been successfull with a hate regime against the Jews or Israel.
I am from Jordan. I remember that my father participated in this war. He was a tank driver, but he survived and returned to Jordan. He died of cancer 8 months ago.
May Allah bless ur father and grant him Jannat al Firdaws, thanks for his service and protecting our countries. I was a tank operator also. Arab brothers ❤🌹
as a history loving Iranian who follows your videos for years, I thought you had abandoned the videos about middle-east. glad you're at it again. great video.
this is One of Your Best videos Johnny! i thank our Lord for returning my USA Army Son back alive and mostly whole from Iraq. i recall cautioning my Warrior Son about killing too many humans and the grief it would cost Him later in life. Thankfully, He listened and understood. After He hung up the phone.... He went back to killing. He was the Lead Gunner on convoy runs. Explaining that it was mostly a 40mph drive by counter-attack against unseen shooters. 20 to 30 USA military vehicles moving fast after Curfew. i felt bad for my Son that He had to go into another sovereign country to harm. At the direction of terrible decisions by our political leaders. We would never allow other countries to invade the USA. Trully, we are only protected by our kindness to all neighbors. We need them. i need You!❤😊
As a Brit who wants to learn about geopolitics so I can understand truly what is going on, these videos could not be more helpful. Thank you so much for all of these Johnny. Amazing content that explains it all so simply 💙 I wish my best to those involved in all the horrific conflicts across the globe 💙
Hi, Johnny, I'm an Iranian and I grew up during that war, let me tell you, it was scary, food and gasoline were rationed and I lost my friends in that war, I just wanted to thank you for educating your audience about this war, I appreciate the research you put into this.
What? His family came here because they wanted a batter life for their kids then constant warfare. Everyone came. Plus he was a kid so he didn’t have a saying.
I think it would inspire creators like us ❤️ This is a clever way to edit that type of video: it is more focused and brings more attention to the history, reasons and strategies of wars.
Oh man let Johnny be creative with his videos. Nonetheless the content is always incredible, so he should feel free to create his content as he pleases. I’m just grateful to be able to watch his videos. Prime content 👌
Even after 36 years of the end of this war in Iran, you can feel the scars of it everywhere. Most streets, avenues, and alleys are named after martyrs. Every middle-aged person has some memories of war; some of them are terrifying, maybe epic, or even funny. The effect of a shortage of everything is still in people's behavior. Most Iranians still buy basic goods in bulk to be ready for a shortage again. A lot of people buy cottages, villas, or land in the countryside to have somewhere to go if a war happens again.
Very sad!!! I pray for calm and peace in Iran watching this video has increased my love for Iran they have gone through a lot this brothers of mine may Allah grant them peace!(I know it's peaceful but what I mean peace in their hearts and calmness from this world!)
this gets a few things wrong. The US destroyer thought that they were being attacked by an f-14, the video skipped Operation Praying Mantis, the one time America and Iran actually fought each other, with the US bombing inside Iranian borders, and the Shah was installed in the 1940s when his father was overthrown by the British and the soviets.
Iv been following you for 7 years now !! Your one of my biggest inspirations please reach out if you read this. Kaiora from New Zealand I would love to work with you
I lost 2 uncles and a cousin in this war and the other uncle was captured by Iraqi forces for more than 3 years. This war ruined my family and my life for 8 years. All the roads and lanes are named after the dead people who fought to protect Iran and still, we have names that are on the waiting list to be used for new roads and lanes. Over a million were dead and millions lost their home
My friends dad was an Iranian F16 pilot. He was shot down near the border 2 weeks before the war ended. He was detained by the Iraqis but never returned after the hostilities ended. My friend never found out what happened to his dad, he was 5 at the time..
As an Iraqi thank you for this reconstructing of Iraq-Iran war. This was what kicked everything off that is still ongoing today in middle east. Also, it is the reason why millions on both sides have migrated to other countries to progress in one's life away from wars (my family moved to NZ)
It is Saddam who destroyed Iraq and the sanction after kuwaiti War made Iraq one of the poorest country!!! People could not even buy a simple bread. Now The Shias will never ever in 1 million years accept a sunni Rule!!! He basically destroyed Iraq for sunnis
Hi. First off thank you for covering the war and the great video and putting things on the map. Secondly, there are some inaccuracies and context that I feel I should bring to your attention. I'll go chronologically: 1- There were multiple calls for ceasefire and in the beginning, Iran did not accept the initial overtures for ceasefire because it had territory under Iraqi control. The Israeli-Arab wars had shown that after a ceasefire a country could and, as precedent had shown, would keep conquered territory. Although Saddam said he would leave the Iranians wouldn’t believe him. There was a point in 1982 where Iran had recaptured most of its key territory, but as you point out they called for Saddam’s removal. It is a point of debate and counterfactual history today, with critics saying had Iran accepted a ceasefire at that point many lives could have been saved. 2- The chemical weapons and materials for manufacturing them were supplied by Germany, France, UK, Netherlands, and other western European nations not the US. Put this together with US’s intelligence support, USSR weapon supplies and Kuwait and Saudi financial support and you will understand the rhetoric in Iran that it was defending against an unjust war by the world. It has fuelled it’s longstanding distrust of the West and international institutions. 3- Lastly in 1988 the US, apart from shooting an airliner, also attacked Iranian oil installation and infrastructure in the Persian Gulf. And these events directly contributed to Iran’s accept a ceasefire, as they feared direct escalation of US involvement. Given that the US had shot down an airliner they feared there would be no holds barred. Other factors included depleted moral and military resources on both sides and Iran holding all its key previously captured territory. 4- Also, at the risk of nit picking your otherwise well-made video I should add that Iran did not have F-16s. The USS Vincennes claimed it mistook the airliner for an F-4 Phantom. How likely is it that a top of the line US cruiser would mistake a slow 180ft Airbus A300, flying on a known commercial course, for an agile 60ft fighter-bomber? I don’t know, but mistakes happen in war and the ship’s captain got a Legion of Merit for it.
My uncles fought in the Iran-Iraq war and the Gulf War, one of them was in the commando front lines he was in the Iraqi Republican Guard Army, the Iraqi Republican Guard was a Iraqi Military Branch. My other uncle was also in the Iraqi Republican guard army and he was a commander. My dad only fought in the Gulf War 1991 and thanks God that my dad and uncles are alive also not to mention my uncle that I was talking about that was in the front lines has met Saddam.
@@mariusfourie-lq6sv they were horrible only in 2003 and that’s because all their weapons and equipment were like 15-30 years outdated. Their ammunition were so old and we barley had any ammunition and because of that we were using trainer ammunitions. The size of the Iraqi Republican Guard Forces in 2003 was only 12,000 also our aircraft’s were really old and 100-235 of them were lost in the deserts. But the Fedayeen Saddam Forces did way better than the Iraqi Republican Guard Forces, The Fedayeen Saddam Forces and other Iraqi Insurgent Militia Groups are the reason why many Americans died in the Iraq War. You can even search it up if you don’t believe me and the reason why our stuff were really outdated because we we’re sanctioned brutally by United States.
Salute to you for making this video. Tons of information and it clearly explain which country hold on to what relation ship and who was involved. Great job.
Absolutely imprecise and (possibly) intentional portrayal of inaccurate information. At around 2:58 is one example. Saddam never “gave up” the oil rich regions east of the Arvand/Shat-Al Arab river as you mentioned. Those were Iranian territory to begin with. I’d say you’re clearly attempting to make Saddam look good here. Much better than should be a case. You somehow managed to do sneak in other (intentional or unintentional) inaccurate information in the previous 2 minutes and 58 seconds, but this one just went went too far. As someone who very rarely dislikes a video or piece of content, I feel like it would be wrong to not dislike this video.
My grandmother used to tell us that during the Iran-Iraq war, a bo*mb hit their neighborhood in Tehran and some of our acquaintances died and the glass of the house broke.
I am from Iraq and I live in Maysan Governorate, and this city is close to the borders of Iran. My mother and father used to say that the missiles of war were falling in front of them and many of the residents of these areas were killed. Also, during that period, hunger prevailed in the country. These were bitter days for the Iraqi people, and in this war my grandfather was martyred, as was my uncle. He died as a result of a bomb. It was a useless war. There were losses on both sides. Zaki from the fire lost their loved ones
As an Iranian-American who has viewed hundreds of hours of propaganda from both the Shah's and Khomeini's regimes, I find this to be the most factual summary of the 8-year war. I extend my heartfelt wishes for peace and healing to all my Iraqi brothers and sisters, with hopes for lasting peace in the Middle East.
My father was in civilwar in iran kurdistan when he was only a high-school boy. He says when he wake up at the morning all of his friends(soldiers) are headless and their head is on their chest... God im 4 years older than he was and i just cant even imagine that...
17:30 Iran doesn’t have F-16s. The airliner was mistaken as an F-14 - the high performance fighter jet the US sold to the Shah. Iran had been attacking other US warships nearby in international waters when USS Vincennes shot down the Iranian airliner mistakenly. The medals later awarded to the captain, other officers and crew of the Vincennes were standard, career “tour of duty” awards given to any and every other serviceman or woman who served honorably in that particular theater, and had nothing to do with the shoot-down. There’s lots of shady things the US military does and doesn’t do, but Johnny just getting lazy these days…
It was totally intentional. Ho come you give award incompetent guys who shot a civilian airplane. He was supposed to face court martial. Also, the US refused to apologize. Imagine! Isn't it enough to prove an intentional criminal objective?
love your transparent, objective & detailed information about these war... at times like this that I see a journalist is an occupation the world needed.. it's sad to see a lot of journalist nowadays only cared about money and biased by their own opinion..
I encourage you to think just a little bit harder than that. That’s a bad-faith oversimplification if I’ve ever seen one. I have no doubt you’re more capable than that.
@@battletoad33g85 I'm from the region, many from my family got murdered during this war. Please educate yourself. We also have agency, not every single thing happening in our region is Israel's doing.

the day of cease fire I was three years old and me and my mom were on a bus as she told me later .i gained some panic attacks and wet beds and speech difficulties which all has been assigned to be cause of the bombings in tehran.my father been a cameraman of war.
As a Persian, it always saddens me that the Kurds who are one of the oldest Iranian people betrayed their country and nowadays some of them have separative ideologies. I just don't understand it, it's not like they're arabs or anything. They've been here as long as us. It's like, we are your people, and Iran is your country, why would you want to betray and fight against your own people who love you? We've been marrying each other and fighting alongside each other for thousands of years. Why do you wanna leave us? Nonetheless, you need to understand that as much as we love you, we'll never let you take even 1cm of this land.
As a Persian (Iranian) The shah was so much better than dictatorship of the "islamic republic" that isn't a republic the dictator(leader) chooses the president and the president is the "leader's" piece and people in here hate the so called "islamic republic" and we wanna start a revolution and we have tried it in 2019,2022,and 2023 but we have failed the government forces people to everything,most of the people are poor,and we don't have so much women's rights and they killed so many of the protestors. Thank you if you read this and please don't think that our people like this government and please spread this information.thank you all
