334-Why Iran Rejects Foreign Rescue With Zolal Habibi

from Politically High-Tech · host Elias Martin

Send us Fan MailWe talk with Iranian human rights activist Zolal Habibi about why Iran’s fight for freedom cannot be outsourced to foreign bombs or buried under “pragmatic” negotiations. We connect the regime’s execution machine to a longer history of coups, propaganda, and women-led resistance, then ask what meaningful solidarity looks like without repeating past disasters.• Why headlines flatten Iran and how to build a fuller picture through history and lived experience • Zolal’s background in the Iranian resistance and the impact of the 1988 massacre • What the National Council of Resistance of Iran is, how it formed, and why it argues the regime is not reformable • the case for separation of religion and state and a secular democratic republic • Women’s empowerment as a core strategy, not a side issue • Why “war” fails in practice and why appeasement can become a green light for executions • How foreign intervention and coups shaped modern Iran and fuel distrust of outside control • What governments can do now: stop undermining democratic organizing and recognize the right to resist • Why we should treat rights like oxygen and protect them before they are gone Follow Zolal Habibi at ...NCRI Websitehttps://www.ncr-iran.org/en/Maryam Rajavi's websitehttps://maryamrajavi4change.com/YouTubehttps://www.youtube.com/ncriranFacebookhttps://www.facebook.com/IranNCR/LinkedInhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/zolalhabibi/Twitterhttps://x.com/Ashrafi4everInstagramhttps://www.instagram.com/ashrafi4ever/Support the showFollow your host atYouTube and Rumble for video contenthttps://www.youtube.com/channel/UCUxk1oJBVw-IAZTqChH70aghttps://rumble.com/c/c-4236474Facebook to receive updateshttps://www.facebook.com/EliasEllusion/LinkedInhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/eliasmarty/Some free goodiesFree website to help you and me https://thefreewebsiteguys.com/?js=15632463New Paperhttps://thenewpaper.co/refer?r=srom1o9c4glPodMatchhttps://podmatch.com/?ref=1626371560148x762843240939879000
