How The Canadian Government Can Help The People Of Iran: An Insightful Conversation With Ardeshir Zarezadeh, Iranian-Canadian Activist

from The Honest Report · host HonestReporting Canada

Since the U.S. and Israeli strikes on the Iranian regime began on February 28, the message from Ottawa has been mixed. First, Prime Minister Mark Carney supported them, then appeared to walk that back, with little clarity since.As the war progresses, footage continues to show Iranians cheering strikes on regime targets, and in Canada, mass gatherings of Iranians praise the effort, calling it not a war, but a rescue operation.To help us learn more about what Iranian-Canadians want from the federal government, we are joined by Ardeshir Zarezadeh, a Toronto lawyer and activist, who was previously a political prisoner in Iran. He sits down with Robert Walker, HonestReporting Canada's assistant director.
