STROMBO: Saman Arbabi on the Ayatollah in the moon

When Saman Arbabi was growing up in Iran in the '70s and '80s, the country erupted into a war zone. In this clip, Saman remembers what Iran felt like in those days, and the night his mother decided it was time to seek a better future for her kids in the States.

YES YOU ARE 100% right......

Good thoughts, Good words, Good deeds...... Yes this is what IRANIAN believes in last 2500 years ago not ISLAM......

Please keep your Islam for your Arabic (DESHDASHE) countries and your people and Make sure Iranian people again can find their ways as they could find it in all last centuries.

Anybody around the World knows that Iranian brought meaning of art, culture, poet, love, Sacrifice and what ever you can think to Arabian desert lives and middle east!!!

@goooooooooooooz I agree to some extent, but at least he is not like those douchy talk show hosts from the US that are usually irrational, dumb and rude. At least he is trying to raise awareness through doing something positive.

[annette37a]

@eshshakchi it's not really necessary to write a comment in a language you don't know....that's how you spell LIAR.

[eshshakchi]

a typical iranian lier!

[eshshakchi]

is there cold!?

why this guy wear that crippy hat!!??

[KooroshAfshar]

@8335isme Nope buddy. people in Iran have been pretty fucked by their believes in fake Islam, and NOW after 1400 years they are getting awake.

[sullivanseven]

Iran is occupied by Khamenei's regime who supports Asad's regime in Syria... what a shame

[Saleh01992]

@caspiankids Who said that Iranians tried Islam ?! or at least most of them ,, don't mix between Iran's government religion and Islam,,

[Saleh01992]

@alirm1000 Ok I agree with you that what Iran doing is not Islam and not near Islam,, but when you said keep Islam for your Arabic (DESHDASHE) countries ( The gulf countries ) you totally lost me there,,, Are you against Islam or against the way that Iran rules ?!

[caspiankids]

Iranians have tried islam, and they've rejected it. Its time for it to pack up its bags and head back to Arabia.

[iranpanah2007]

@8335isme i wish u an AKHOOND HUGE !

[alirm1000]

@8335isme Yes you are right. It is really hard to understand what he is trying to say about the Iranian story because you don't know anything about the story..About the pain that how 5% of traitors in Iran dictation superstition into our lives to control the rest when REVOLUTION happened. He doesn't talk about the people, he is talking about those traitors who used these shameful stories to control everything after revolution. Still nobody believes these stories after 34 years even them selves!!

[8335isme]

he sounds pretty fucked to me ,like hes making fun of his people more than anything for the entertainment of others

BBC said the Khomeini was seen in the moon.

@WorldWiedNews i've read all your comments on this video and concluded that you are a jealous and bitter person. everyone's sick of your ridiculous comments!

[unavailableanonymous]

@sarahsardin it's on the same channel!

[pdpax91]

@WorldWiedNews "IRAN SHOULD BE WIPED FROM THE MAP OF THIS WORLD ."

Does your religion promote this behavior?

Besides, the way that person wrote the sentence does not make him Iranian. It seems like a neighbor country. (of course I'm talking about the second comment he made!
