Today marks the fourth day of Iranians taking to the streets to fight for their fundamental rights. Given the history of brutal suppression over the past decades, I sincerely hope to see the people of Iran celebrating their freedom very soon.
I would like to reiterate that I do not belong to any political group. Quite frankly, I have little faith in two groups: the clergy and politicians, as both often thrive on the hard work of others.
Regarding Mr. Reza Pahlavi, who is frequently discussed these days: while he may be a kind person, a good father, or a loyal friend, I personally do not see him as an effective political leader. Unfortunately, over the last fifty years, those with the potential to lead the country have either been assassinated, passed away, or no longer possess the necessary strength. Consequently, he remains the only visible option—not necessarily because he is the ideal choice, but because there is a lack of alternatives.
Ultimately, everyone is entitled to their own perspective, and every opinion deserves respect. However, the final decision lies with the people on the ground; they are the ones who will decide whom to support and to whom they will entrust the future of the country.
