(Note from Julie: The last two sentences I can only agree)
One of the most important events after the revolution was over. the American Embassy - both for those who supported them, and for those who were against it, and every year there were activities, was reminded that at this event. This year, some political groups have made in the knowledge of the current situation in the country, announcements, and I have also announced that I come to the embodiments Tir Square and walk from there to the (American) Embassy would. In particular, I
had informed the people that I would stop, wherever different *) slogans created so that people do not continue these slogans and those who do it, be separated from me.
*) 'notwithstanding' is the translation for "deviating", presumably slogans are meant to represent the different Karroubi line. Given the much-discussed radicalization of the slogans is this interpretation make sense. About which slogans Karroubi means exactly, and where the border runs for the deviation, I can currently only speculate. The subtitles in the video linked above, incidentally, speaks of "subversive chants," so subversive slogans. translator's
When we reached embodiments Tir, they stood in front of us. Police were there and they were very violent against the people. I stopped because I thought that they would think about it differently and would allow me because of my participation, at least, [your lines] to cross. But the opposite was the case, they were more violent and beat even with their batons to my bodyguard, taking two of them injured, and she threw [us], even with tear gas, which was very strong and a violent effect and had forced the people to disperse. Some were close to suffocation. We climbed back into the car and turned around, and on the way back we saw was how to deal with violent women - something that is in our view, extremely cruel and bad.
I wonder why this had to happen? These people came to get together to spread the message around. Some had "Death to America" initiative, others may not, perhaps they would instead "Islamic Republic" **) said, but we have tried to discourage them from using different slogans.
**) also say the English subtitles of the video something else, "Death to the Islamic Republic. "In fact, he said only" Islamic Republic ", but it can be understood as implicitly the slogan" Death to the Islamic Republic "meant. translator's
But my question is more important and concerns the doppeltgesichtige policy of the Islamic Republic (here he quotes a Persian proverb to explain the situation) 'Dome Khoroos of Qasam Abbas' relates (It caught on a story about a thief that a tap steel from the owner was. He swore by Saint Abbas to have stolen any cock, even though the rooster tail peeped out under his jacket. The owner then said to him, "Whom should I believe, the rooster tail or your oath to the Holy Abbas? "Translator's)
The Islamic Republic was until recently always tried to change their policies. Congratulates you [America] and sent letters that were not even answered, but [the Iranians] have nevertheless tried to keep talking. I can not read the statement here but I invite my dear viewers and listeners to participate. It is a discussion of Tajuddini Mir, the deputy from Tabriz, and it was after his [foreign] trip . published in an Iranian newspaper, he says that there is a meeting of around 50 important American personalities - including politicians, academics, journalists and analysts - with the presidents gave, which lasted more than two hours, and there was a good discussion.
And I say that as a participant in the political process, should have such a meeting took place in the last twenty years, any government would certainly Kafanposhan (protesters dressed in white cloth of a kind with which one in Islam, the dead envelopes before they are buried) took to the streets of Qom, Tabriz and Tehran in particular, and had fought resolutely against it.
Why is it so that if such meetings and discussions are held, no complications associated with it and not even discuss newspapers such as Kayhan and others about and no one raises any objections? So what happened with all this new anti-Americanism, the slogans and propaganda against America now?
Neither I say that these slogans to be used, nor that they should not be used. What I mean is that the national interest of the Iranian people from us within the government should not be used daily on the basis of our secret and not publicly available analysis.
In one meeting, they sit along with 50 Americans and discuss the Iranian-American relations, Afghanistan, nuclear, oil, etc., and the next day, they destroy everything he [speaking metaphorically, In German one would say "start from scratch," translator's]
I have a feeling that this policy could be problematic for the situation of our people, and it looks as though the government knew and haphazard do not do what they want. And I consider it my duty to clarify things, even if it falls back on me, what makes me. This two-faced policy will undermine the confidence of the people, and tomorrow they will not believe us pay more - they should not.
