Abdi Media's exclusive guests Motaghi: The [December/January] incident had a completely tragic quality. Motaghi: Israel should coordinate with America in strategy Motaghi: The war will be tactical in nature and will be based on "power shift".PreviousNext Motaghi: The probability that Reza Pahlavi will come to power in Iran is very limited Motaghi: Iran will never experience the imperial atmosphere again Motaghi: The Americans will never deploy military forces in IranAmericans emphasize space control; However, the Israelis' view is that the atmosphere should be made critical, violent and bloody Motaghi: Trump is not looking for a full-scale war American military operations are for more bargaining and a more effective role in building power Motaghi: Today there are many differences in Iran's social structure If the political processes in Iran become too radical, there will be violence that will cover the whole of Iran! Motaghi: I consider Reza Pahlavi a stage tool In the coming months, we will see an escalation of violence Motaghi: The separation of the construction of power from the social forces leads to the transformation of the foreign force into a "liberating actor". [In January] a large part of the social space felt that it could no longer have peaceful discourse formats. Motaghi: Armed measures had no effect [in the victory of the 1978 revolution]. The United States and France also used non-violent policies during that period Motaghi: A system that is inefficient is more inclined to mechanical action Motaghi: The current atmosphere bears a strong resemblance to August/September 1978. Motaghi: No one can ignore the role of media and international factors in political subversion. The field of governance had a lot of opportunity and experience to heal wounds Motaghi: The social structure in Iran has been transformed."Heroic Flexibility" means that when you cannot realize your politics, power, ideals, and patterns, you must accept what is imposed upon you! Mottaqi: Over the past years, the political system has tried very hard to unify the space.This mechanical integration is one of the main factors of structural fragility. Mottaqi: The media created conditions for someone who was never a political activist to become bold.What started in Iran will continue because none of the actors achieved their goals. See: Pahlavi for Trump: End or Means? | Has Iran's defining moment begun?With the presence of Dr. Ebrahim Motaghi, professor and faculty member of the Department of Political Science, Faculty of Law and Political Science, University of Tehran Roghani Zanjani: All government policies are reflected in the budgetThe U.S. military budget is $4,800 billion, our military budget is $60 billion! Saeed Zibakalam: I do not regret the 1978 Revolution.The Islamic Republic is not subservient to any country. Roghani Zanjani: First of all, I consider the current crisis to be an economic crisis The priority of saving the Muslim community from Israel is costly! Saeed Zibakalam: With Reza Pahlavi's arrival, this situation of democracy, discrimination, embezzlement, and bribery will not be resolved. We, the political activists, are also affected by corruption and discrimination in the field of politics Roghani Zanjani: A huge legitimacy gap has formed between the new generation and the previous generationHijab has now become a tool of resistance Saeed Zibakalam: I am opposed to any sudden change enforced by force and physical means.These practices will continue the cycle of authoritarian rule and authoritarian culture. Saeed Zibakalam: Hassan Rouhani has committed plagiarism, lied, and tricked people!He has neither the necessary university education [for the guardianship of the jurist] nor the necessary seminary knowledge. Roghani Zanjani: You cannot tell the Houthis to fight and not provide them with resources! Strategic policies dictate the allocation of resources and indicate the strategic priority of governance Saeed Zibakalam: As long as political and media activists stay silent, the current approach will continue.I can easily imagine that this current Supreme Leader or the next Supreme Leader will revise everything that has been done so far. Roghani Zanjani: The government's public revenues for this year are nearly 2,446 trillion rials.The budget deficit for the first eight months of the year 2024 was 783 trillion rials. Roghani Zanjani: This year's budget tries to prevent the crisisThe unemployment rate will increase by 12% in 2025 Saeed Zibakalam: The Guardianship of the Jurist is also a theory; don’t peg it to religion!Some religious authorities and seminary scholars do not accept the guardianship of the jurist. Saeed Zibakalam: We revolutionaries have made mistakes that we need to reconsider.One of the factors behind the slogan 'Reza Shah, may your soul be happy' is the people's living conditions. Saeed Zibakalam: Which of our political and press courts will be held with the presence of a jury?! How did Articles 26 and 27 get out of our constitution?! Saeed Zibakalam: Today, without having a court, we actually have a court!We have a court that has added "deception"—the third wing—to its existing "wealth and power." Saeed Zibakalam: We turned our backs on republicanism, democracy, and political parties!The decadent political culture of the monarchy slowly moved forward from February 1979 to March 1979.

Featuring Masoud Roghani Zanjani Saeed Zibakalam: I am sure many ministers and officials know a lot of things; but they don't reveal them until they feel the time is right!When disorder arises, some members of parliament start talking; they bring up things from three, four, or ten years ago! Saeed Zibakalam: During the Pahlavi era, we didn't have anything called culture or party activityAfter the first step of the revolution, we had to move on to forming political parties. Saeed Zibakalam: Our parties are either scripted or decorative!I don't know of any powerful party in Iran. Saeed Zibakalam: In the 1979 revolution, only one step of the revolution was takenThe 1979 revolution was nothing more than removing a number of important and influential political figures from the Shah's regime! Watch/ Examining the obstacles of republicanism in the midst of structural reforms and political obstruction with the presence of Dr. Saeed Zibakalam, professor of philosophy at Tehran University Abdolreza Davari: I believe that part of the future of the Islamic Republic lies in the ideas of Mr. Qalibaf The third leadership period will bring a transformation based on authority and pragmatism and moving towards development Abdolreza Davari: I consider the issue of the monarchy returning to Iran to be out of the questionMr. Reza Pahlavi has distanced himself significantly from the monarchy paradigm. Abdolreza Davari: The officials of the Islamic Republic were themselves subversives before 1979!The Islamic Republic knows how to contain protests because it was once a subversive government itself. Abdolreza Davari: I see Mr. Pezeshkian's government—within the paradigm of governance—as being in a complete dead end.The 2026 budget is a war budget. Abdolreza Davari: Mr. Pezeshkian must either change his strategy or step aside.Mr. Pezeshkian's government is a peacetime government. نمایش بیشترMost ReadMemories of Akbar Hashemi - February 20, 2000 - Meeting with Abdullah Jasbi and Concerns About Election ResultsMovie / Where is Commander Morteza Talaie?Akbar Hashemi's memoirs - 1999 September 10 - The two-person political negotiations with Vaez Tabasi continued until he was escorted to Tehran, where Hashemi apparently decided to seriously participate in the sixth parliamentary elections.The records of the recent periods of the Islamic Council showed that the parliament is not in charge of affairs and cannot interfere or pass resolutions on the authority of the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces at any level, let alone supervise.What will be the future of Iran with the announced candidates for the presidential election? / Conversation with Dr. Taghi Azad AramakiCan I feel tired with you?A Basiji veterinarian was appointed head of the health network instead of an otolaryngologist.Akbar Hashemi's memoirs - 1999 September 5 - The meeting of the senior managers of the judiciary with Hashemi Rafsanjani and their complaint about the neglect of Hashemi Shahroudi, the new head of the judiciary, continues.Memories of Akbar Hashemi - 1999 September 7 - In continuation of the efforts of the late Vaez Tabasi, who used to encourage Hashemi to participate in the elections in frequent meetings, this time he also met with Hashemi.Akbar Hashemi's memories - 1999 September 9 - Continued visits to the belongings, buildings and works of Astan Quds
