It was so peaceful, we fled the country to escape it.
My mom just got back from Iran on Tuesday. I picked her up from the airport and I was asking her how the country is doing economically and also mentally. She said that it's bullshit what you hear in the media. Contrary to what you hear, most people in Iran like president Trump. They are hoping he does something to get rid of the mullahs that are running the country. They would actually welcome a war to get rid of the Islamic regime even if it means innocent civilians dying. People are just sick of it. Inflation is crazy. You buy a gallon of milk on Monday for $10 and on Friday it's $15. People are just getting by with what they have but it's wearing them down.
There have been many protests and uprisings in the last decade but the army squashes them and kills anyone they can catch.
The young people of Iran are educated and want to live a western life. The women in Iran are standing up to the regime and walk around with their hair uncovered more and more. They get arrested and are beaten and killed but it's not stopping them from standing up to the tyrannical regime.
The people of Iran do not hate Israel or Jews. There are many Iranian Jews that live in Iran. They don't give a shit about Islam or Judaism. They just want to live a life of FREEDOM. I hope that one day that comes to fruition.
My Iranian friends say the exact same thing.
Although they are no longer Iranian, stone cold patriotic Americans.
