Amir Fakhravar: Obama's disgraceful silence on Iran

[thedudewithbeef]

No matter wat u do...iranians may disagree about the elections...but if u look now..they stand united because of bad portryal by western media...

[hennypenny247]

What a disgrace Obama is. He couldn't give up the image of being friends with Ahmadinejad and having the world see him talk the hardliners out of their nukes.

G-d willing, freedom-loving Iranians will have an advocate in the White House again in January 2013.

[Shargrailar]

I had to lol at his end comment about the first lady! " maybe if she has time to talk to queen she has time to release a statement supporting the freedom fighters".

Sorry buddy but our current first lady is only finally proud of her country after 44 yrs of her life, I can't imagine how long it would take her to be proud of Iran.

[shaku92002]

sorry dude we're already helping Isreal

[boi187]

So where was this so called revolution? This idiot is a pathetic little traitor.

[Mspape1234]

@boi187 I live in Iran and I have a very big family but we never support your leader ,supreme leader(khamenei).khamenei is just a dictator for us not leader people are their own leader. understand?

[boi187]

@Mspape1234 Do you support Ahmadinejad? Ahmadinejad is very popular in Iran. If you have lived in Iran recently you would know that Ahmadinejad is extremely popular in Iran and in the Middle East. Ahmadinejad is the people’s person, the Iranians absolutely love Ahmadinejad for what he stands for and for what he is. He speaks the minds of the Iranian people; his actions are the actions of the Iranian people.

[Mspape1234]

@boi187 Why you lie ? I am in Iran I live in Iran I was born in Iran so I know Iran more than you think As an Iranian person I DO NOT BELIEVE AHMADINEZHAD AND HIS GOVERNMENT AND SO MANY PEOPLE IN IRAN ARE LIKE ME AND PROTEST SO DO NOT LIE...I DO NOT SUPPORT AHMADINEZHAD

[sharafudin2]

This guy is stupid and he sound fruity.

[lic2kil007]

Wasn't it a student uprising in Iran that took the US hostages? I can understand the change of heart but we really need to be careful in the world today on what ppl want.

[daaneshjoo]

@lic2kil007 : Unfortunately they were islamist terrorists & Commi sympathisers dressed in student's garb, that took hostages. You will see that in the current regime in Iran which has kidnapped 3 Americans, they basically want to get paid or exchange these 3 with other terrorists captured and held in Iraq's jail. The same method is seen in branches of Iran's regime called Hezbollah, & Hamas.

[steele213]

@lic2kil007 No. People that took the US hostages are the ones that we (Iranians) are fighting against ,called Basijis. They are the ones who are killing people in the street today. I suggest you study some before you make comment about something.

[boi187]

@steele213 I am Iranian and I have a very big family and we all support the current regime and no matter what we would all support the Supreme Leader the Ayatollah. I think you should live in Iran for a while or at least get a realistic view from its people. Maybe you should watch my channel video: GREEN ANIMALS HATED BY IRANIAN PEOPLE. All of the poll results conducted by organizations outside of Iran all showed support for Ahmadinejad. Would you rather a more moderate President?

[afara2000]

@boi187 Is this comment a joke? You quoted "we would all support the Supreme Leader the Ayatollah. I think you should live in Iran for a while or at least get a realistic view from its people". "Supreme Leader" or supreme dictator? Do Iranian people have any freedom to have any views? You must be joking!

[boi187]

@afara2000 The independent opinion polls were conducted by Western newspapers, charities, and neutral organizations. Ahmadinejad is a real people’s person. I do not believe that you are Iranian for a second, sorry. The protestors did not even show respect for Ashura.

[afara2000]

@boi187 I still don't believe those polls simply because there are no human rights to have a rightful poll result. Ahmadinejad said we can make Gas (Benzin) in two weeks where is it? He eliminated daylight saving time and later realized was a big mistake. He says he wants to get rid of Israel. Are we fool to believe this idiot's words? Actually, world powers would love to have such idiots rule such a rich country because they get what they want easily! I agree unaware people/bisavad like him.

[boi187]

@afara2000 Do you support Ahmadinejad? Ahmadinejad is very popular in Iran. If you have lived in Iran recently you would know that Ahmadinejad is extremely popular in Iran and in the Middle East.

He speaks the minds of the Iranian people; his actions are the actions of the Iranian people.

[boi187]

@afara2000 Every single independent opinion-poll conducted by western organizations show that Ahmadinejad was overwhelmingly popular with the Iranian people 2:1. Me and my family are Iranian and we support Ahmadinejad and so does everyone we know. Just face it; American/Israeli propaganda has failed to work. The people of Iran support Ahmadinejad and the Ayatollah. Check out the Guardian (UK newspaper)report on this issue, it is clear that Ahmadinejad won the election by a landslide.

[boi187]

@afara2000 The independent opinion polls were conducted by Western newspapers, charities, and neutral Western organizations. What do you not understand? Honestly you almost make me feel depressed. Iran’s leadership is strong and does not allow itself to be bullied by American and Israeli interests; Iran has a military alliance with Russia. What is your problem? Iran is the most powerful country in the Middle East, what is your problem?

[afara2000]

@boi187 Western polls continuously try to show what they want public to believe not the real truth! After a little bit of studying history, soon you'll realize it was the very same West that brought radical Islam to power in Iran. Why? The reason is simple, what tool better than Islam to destroy Iran and steal its oil resources? It's free and people still have strong deep religious beliefs, so why not take advantage this free tool?

[boi187]

@afara2000 Iran wants a peaceful nuclear programme and the Iranian people have been very firm on this issue on insisting that they have the right to a peaceful nuclear programme, what is your problem? Do you want to deny Iran the right to have a peaceful nuclear programme? You are out of touch with the Iranian people.

[afara2000]

@boi187 Iran wanted to have peaceful nuclear program during time of Shah to be independent of the Oil (Ref. A Century of War by Engdahl). But British-Americans were against it. They didn't sign Nuclear contracts. Shah had to go to France and Germany. This was a NO NO for west and they soon plotted Shah's removal. Islamic regime nuclear program is simply a show to fool ordinary people like You. A regime who wants to be in power, does NOT cross red lines drown by its ARBABAN-esh!

[boi187]

@afara2000 The opinion polls were conducted by Western independent sources like newspapers, charities, and other humanitarian organizations. Did you not read what I said properly? Just do a quick google search on Ahmadinejads popularity.

[MariamFQ]

He's a fake. He didn't even escape from Iran alone as he is claiming, real political dissidents in Iran hate him. He came to America to find fame

[daaneshjoo]

@MariamFQ : Very strange that there are still people out there like you who would make a generalized statement that is totally baseless, and deceptive.

Unless you are part of the regime in Iran, all opposition groups should unite to overthrow this regime.

[DreamFreedom1]

@daaneshjoo I think people like Mariam and Madavi are just trolls. There are islamofascists trolls all over YT to allegedly discredit witnesses of violations of human rights. Some of them even specialize on specific people. Why, as Madavi claims, wld there b anybody supporting the starving of people. Let alone, say it in public. These statements make no sense just like those of the Iranian government were lunatic claiming that a BBC reporter shot Neda. Making up another crazy story every day

[daaneshjoo]

@DreamFreedom1: You are absolutely right. These Taazi agents, sometimes pretend to be females, or part of "opposition groups" while actually they're paid agents of iri. I have started to recognize them, easily, also you can look at their profile, some of them only have palestinian causes on their channel!

[yunney]

Mahdavi1990 and Shussey100 are fucking morons. They are more worried about supporting a terrorist theocracy in Iran and a socialist dictator in America (Obama) than the brave, peace loving, democratic green movement in Iran. Jackasses.

[Mahdavi1990]

Amir Fakhravar is a fucking moron. I've met him personally. He even supports the starving of innocent Iranian people.

[daaneshjoo]

@Mahdavi1990 : What you're saying is so idiotic that it only proves you work for the regime in Iran.

[shussey100]

You people are so short sighted. You expect Obama to do this and that. His only concern should be America.

It's unto to you Iranians to solve your own problems.

Hello from Botswana, Africa.

[afara2000]

@shussey100 I completely disagree. If you know a little history, you find that it was US/UK who took down shah and brought these stupid Islamic fanatics (Khomeini) into power because it was to US interest. IRAN is of huge importance in US/World middle east policy due its vast reserves of OIL! US and other G5 members can change regime if they want to. Right now, they don't seem to want it, whether it's Obama or Mr x as US president!

[boi187]

@afara2000 You have it mixed up. The Shah was an American-backed Puppet-regime. Watch on YouTube: Imam Khomeini - The Man Who Changed The World | Iran & The West [Part 1/3], Iran: The 'Pariah State' | Iran & The West [Part 2/3], Nuclear Confrontation | Iran & The West [Part 3/3]. The Americans lost a valuable ally when the Shah was overthrown in 1979.

[afara2000]

@boi187 I agree US supported Shah and regional countries against Soviet Union to stop spread of communism. However dear Amir, haven't you heard about Guadalupe gathering and Ebrahim Yazdi's mission? US and other big powers invested in Khomeini to overthrow Shah. A good evidence was Farsi radios of BBC, America, Israel and Germany during 1978-79 years. They constantly fed people an unknown cleric named Khomeini. The reason was to stop Shah who was determined to stop selling oil at old prices.

[Annuunnaki]

My friend, Obama is the scum of all scums working for the Central Bankers and you ask help from Obama? He is a fucking communist, a traitor of the state. He is the biggest disgrace to this nation as much as Bush, Clinton and Bush senior. To ask these people for help is like asking the devil to save you from some wolves. Wake up! If you want freedom put your nation together and revolutionize with out these scumbags, other wise they will slave you all with the NWO like they already have to USA.

[paribari]

can´t believe an iranian with our complicated past can be so naive!!! : "...please help us, help us mr. bush help us anyone just help us..."

[FreeIranPlease]

Long live Amir Fakhravar, a true hero. God bless.

[zederish]

@FreeIranPlease no body know him in Iran. he is cheating on amricans by saying that he has some influence over iranian people

[77Merav]

He is so so right!!!!

Thanks for the video:)

[ptehrani2009]

Support The People of Iran against the tyranny!

[KarmicOmen]

Obama has never come forward and denounced the OBVIOUS election FRAUD in Iran ... he has no room to talk! Ahem -- ACORN!

His spineless silence ... what that conveys is he is for the Mullahs, not the Iranian people -- that is how it appears! The America people are FOR the Iranian PEOPLE! Unfortunately, Obama would love nothing more that to control the USA like the Mullahs control Iran.

[Re5Publica]

I'm sick of all these people who say it's an Iranian problem, so non-Iranians shouldn't have an opinion or want a particular outcome. What happened to humanism? What happened to human solidarity? People are bleeding in the streets. Tyrants are denying basic freedoms. The leader of the free world is worried about his image with those dictators, instead of asserting those values he says he believes in to support those who are fighting for more freedoms.

[stme2008]

another big difrence I dont think you need Obama to say a word of saport you know !!!!!! Iran Knows as well !!!!! he make Mistakes of the past thats another big difrence republican games war mongering fear mongering vote against obama no matter what even if it hurts the people way they have been & so on you have no idea what is really on the mind of repubs if they really mean it or if it is only for popularity but i think you do know Obama s true thoughts & he does care and it is real not fake.

[stme2008]

lets not do more of the same of Bush SR or Bush Chaney we where not welcomed with open arms as well they do not beleive in war also we had our battles for freedom it is now there time to stand together wait and see they can have pride and if it gets really bad and they need us they will ask and we will I bet anything be there to help. obama voiced his disapointment and more about this but he has done very well to hold back he wont make same mistakes He is doing great

[lovefallshigh]

As iranian-american i must disagree with amir fakhravar... obviously he doesn't understand american politics and the role of the U.S president. We are not the world police as many depicted us with George Bush. What obama has said and done is more than enough. It is the reponsibility of the iranian people to change the ways of their country not the U.S.. A terrible revolution brought about the regime that it is in place today and an IRANIAN revolution will be required to change it. enough said

[007arian]

Supporting the young Iranian fighters in Iran morally doesnt mean a change immediately. So

-->Khafe sho va gendegito tu amrika kon

[iLuvAkeys4ever]

Let Iranians deal with this Iranian issue. I believe the people of Iran are strong enough to deal with issues of their own making!

[JeffBeck13]

tell that to the 10's of thousands of kids who were captured and REALLY tortured in the Iranian dungeons in 1999.

[Suphlacki]

Tamping down liberty in the US is part of Obama's agenda and the media is in bed with Obama. So what should we expect in foreign policy...a paradox??? I hope we are starting to get it here in the US?

[Daddyfr8]

So many ppl didn't like Bush, but he showed more character then this president. Moses couldn't speak but he stood against wrong too. It is sad that such a powerful leader we have an appeaser leading this nation. We have become a sleeping giant. Woe to leaders that look at evil and do nothing.

[YgdZoom]

What the hell you saying?

Who asked you to send the US army there, All we want is a support by saying something about whats going on there. Support dosent mean go there and start a war. Mr Obama is just like Carter.......NO INTERNATIONAL EXPERIENCE....

[TellitToMe100]

Obama is not going to speak before thinking. Have we forgotten the outcome when George Bush Sr. supported and asked the people of IRAQ to rise up against Saddam. They did, and Saddam slaughtered them and American let it happen. Unless America can back up our rhetoric , we must be careful in what we promise which we cannot deliver. For this moment in time, this must be done by the people of Iran, and only the people of Iran.
