Khosro Isfahani, research director for the National Union for Democracy in Iran, and co-host of the IranWatch podcast, discussed with NTD's Steve Lance about the Iranian people's fight for freedom, the morale of Iranians since the U.S. strikes began, the celebration in Tehran over the death of the Iranian regime's Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, and the regime's threats to the United States.
Isfahani described first-hand personal stories of his decades-long fight for freedom in Iran, his father being imprisoned by the regime, and the brutal atrocities he has seen with the Islamic Republic's war crimes in Syria, and during the Iranian uprising, known as the "Lion and Sun Revolution," which he says, were "beyond anything we had seen since." Isfahani deciphered the regime's propaganda, including how the regime recycled old videos of paid supporters and used Artificial Intelligence. Isfahani called the five Iranian soccer players, who refused to sing the Islamic Republic anthem, "lionesses" for standing with their fellow Iranians who were killed for protesting in the streets.
Isfahani discussed how the National Union for Democracy in Iran has been tracking the movements of the Islamic Republic on American soil and documenting their infiltration network across the United States. He said there are active terror cells in the U.S. that can be activated, made up of many people with public ties to the Islamic Republic, who have taken over Islamic religious institutions in the United States, and were assigned to these posts by the late Iranian Islamic leader Ali Khamenei.
He described how these Islamic Republic leaders have been indoctrinating children on American soil for years, making them sing songs of allegiance to the commander that includes sacrificing their own parents for him and his cause. Isfahani recounted recent events, like a vigil in a Virginia mosque for Khamenei, and a terrorist attack on U.S. soil by a man with an Islamic Republic flag.
