— 🇮🇷 One person from this neighbourhood was interviewed:

‘To be honest, I was against the government. I still disagree with some aspects, but I used to engage in protests, and I have even set government property on fire.

I want to beg for forgiveness. I was completely wrong, our minds were corrupted by false promises of those who do not care about us. The war was an eye-opener; they used us and discarded us like cheap waste!

Martyr Khamenei is a thousand times more honorable than the dog Pahlavi or his American masters. I never saw a person more Iranian than him.

Today I’m here to honor him and please, forgive me dear sir, I wronged you. I was wrong. I don’t know what to do except cry. I’m sorry.’
