The answer was the same as what is expected of your honorable personality

 I must say out of respect to you that I was absolutely unaware of Sardar Rafiqdoust's interview with Iran Watch before it was published.

There has been no coordination between me and the Iran Watch media.

The publication of the previously deleted part of the interview was also after Rafiqdoust's own public confessions, and I was relieved of the task and to consider a more important expediency at the most sensitive moment in the real history of the Islamic Republic, which I will not go into details for the time being.

I have always welcomed fair criticisms

As for my person and my one-man media, history will judge like others, and it is not easy to judge history.

In these days, some friends addressed me with words and made accusations and slanderous things that they respected and must have convinced their conscience, and of course I put it on the basis that being independent has a cost and sometimes it has to be paid for with money, sometimes with honor, sometimes with life, and that is enough.

Thank you again
