مهرداد خوانساری: آقای پهلوی در آستانه اشغال ایران و برقراری نظام پادشاهی نیست

Mehrdad Khansari: Mr. Pahlavi is not on the verge of occupying Iran or establishing a monarchy.

مهرداد خوانساری: شخصا نمی‌توانم طرفدار مواضعی باشم که از سوی ایشان اعلام شده

Mehrdad Khansari: Personally, I cannot support the positions that have been announced by him.

مهرداد خوانساری: برنامه‌ای که امروز رضا پهلوی برای دوره گذار اعلام کرد با اصول قبلی او همخوانی ندارد

Mehrdad Khansari: The program that Reza Pahlavi announced today for the transitional period is inconsistent with his previous principles.

مهرداد خوانساری: در شرایط فعلی هیچ آلترناتیوی را در کوتاه‌مدت عملی نمی‌بینم

Mehrdad Khansari: In the current situation, I do not see any alternative as practical in the short term.

مهرداد خوانساری: موضوعی که باید برای آن توافق شود، جانشین ساختن حاکمیت ولایت با حاکمیت مردم است

Mehrdad Khansari: The issue for which an agreement must be reached is the replacement of the sovereignty of Velayat (Guardianship of the Jurist) with the sovereignty of the people.

تمام اهرم‌های قدرت دست این 15-20 درصد است که مملکت را اداره می‌کنند

Mehrdad Khansari: Those who came with Khomeini and seized power diminished over time, and only 15-20 percent of them remain.

All the levers of power are in the hands of this 15-20 percent, and they run the country.

مهرداد خوانساری: در شرایط نه جنگ نه صلح، جمهوری اسلامی متزلزل‌تر نیست

Mehrdad Khansari: In a situation that is neither war nor peace, the Islamic Republic is not more unstable.

Neither the Islamic Republic nor the US government wants to return to the battlefield.

مهرداد خوانساری: حمله خارجی به کار نیروهای سیاسی سازنده ضربه وارد می‌کند و شرایطی ایجاد می‌کند تا بسیاری از مردم به‌خاطر دلایل ملی پشت نظام بایستند

Mehrdad Khansari: A foreign attack harms the work of constructive political forces and creates conditions where many people, for national reasons, stand behind the system.

The attack on Iran was against international law.

انتخاب مجتبی خامنه‌ای به عنوان رهبر جمهوری اسلامی نشانه چیست؟

The selection of Mojtaba Khamenei as the leader of the Islamic Republic: what does it signify? An exclusive conversation with Mehrdad Khansari.

Mehrdad Khansari: The removal (or sidelining) of Ayatollah Khamenei has created a situation in which, if our nation is vigilant...

نارضایتی فعلی مردم شبیه به نارضایتی مردم در سال 57 است؟

Is the current dissatisfaction of the people similar to the dissatisfaction of the people in 1979?

Mehrdad Khansari: The nature of the current dissatisfaction of the people is different from the past.

آیت‌الله سید علی خامنه‌ای در سالهای آخر زمان حیات خود به دو فقیه حوزوی یعنی آیات علیرضا اعرافی و محسن اراکی اهتمام بیشتری با احکام پررنگتر داشت

In the final years of his life, Ayatollah Seyed Ali Khamenei paid more attention to two seminary jurists, namely Ayatollahs Alireza Arafi and Mohsen Araki, with more prominent decrees (or roles).

Regarding Sheikh Alireza Arafi, of course, this position was not only more prominent but also deeper, and many pillars of the system were more coordinated with him.

مهرداد خوانساری: عامل سقوط شاه، نارضایتی مردم بود

Mehrdad Khansari: The cause of the Shah's downfall was the dissatisfaction of the people.

The people wanted more political freedom, which was not available at that time.

مهرداد خوانساری: شاه از نظر سیاسی دیکتاتور بود اما یک دیکتاتور خشن نبود

Mehrdad Khansari: The Shah was a dictator politically, but he was not a brutal dictator.

The Shah intervened in two areas: matters related to foreign policy and military matters and the defense of the country.

مهرداد خوانساری: یکی از فرق‌های حاکمیت شاه با حاکمیت فعلی این بود که رئیس مملکت نباید سرزمینش را رها کند

Mehrdad Khansari: One of the differences between the rule of the Shah and the current rule is that the head of the country should not abandon his land.

During the time of the Shah, dissatisfaction could be curbed by providing financial facilities to the people.

مهرداد خوانساری: مملکت ما، در زمانی که محمدرضا شاه به سلطنت رسید، مملکت فقیری بود

Mehrdad Khansari: Our country, at the time when Mohammad Reza Shah came to the throne, was a poor country.

What is the biggest weakness of the Islamic Republic? Exclusive interview with Mehrdad Khansari

Mehrdad Khansari: The biggest weakness of the Islamic Republic is the lack of development and the creation of public dissatisfaction.

مهرداد خوانساری: جمهوری اسلامی از تجریبات "سال ۵۷" استفاده‌های زیادی کرده است

The Islamic Republic has made extensive use of the experiences of "1957".

The skill he had in construction, he did not have in "crisis management".

اگر دولت به رویه داغ و حبس و حصر ادامه دهد، همان اتفاقی که با حمله خارجی نگران آن بودیم با "فروپاشی اجتماعی" رخ خواهد داد

Hossein Bayat: In such an emergency situation, there is no authorization for the government to become "self-satisfied" or "pleased with itself."

If the government continues its practice of raids, imprisonments, and house arrests, what we were worried about happening through a foreign attack will instead occur through "social collapse."

حسین بیات: حقوق بنیادین همیشه با مبانی ایدئولوژیک جمهوری اسلامی تعارض ایجاد کرده

Hossein Bayat: Fundamental rights have always come into conflict with the ideological foundations of the Islamic Republic.

We are in an emergency situation in which the law is not observed.
