I fled Iran’s terror — Trump’s courage is an answer to my prayers

The strikes President Donald Trump launched against Iran Saturday are not just military operations — they are the answer to decades of prayers by Iranians who have suffered under tyranny.

And they represent the first time an American president has truly come to the rescue of the Iranian people.

I was born and raised in Iran, where my family lived under the grip of an authoritarian theocracy.

Growing up in the 1980s, my classrooms were filled with anti-Western indoctrination and “Death to America” chants.

Yet to most of us, America was a symbol of justice and freedom from fear.

In those same classrooms, we passed around forbidden tapes of Bon Jovi, Guns N’ Roses and Red Hot Chili Peppers, letting us experience a taste of the joy and liberty possible in America.

What is happening to Iran is historic. Never before has an Islamic country had a revolt against Islam itself. The only time Islam has lost territory has been when outside forces have been victorious.  This could be the war that eventually burns down the whole merciless Islamic Colonization Mafia. Are we witnessing the beginning of the end of this cancerous 14 century long plague of ruthless evil ?

Nine different Islamic countries attacked. One notable exception is Turkey. Turkey is technically an US ally which has bases in that country. Why leave it alone? The answer is NATO. If Iran had attacked Turkey NATO would be compelled to respond. Iran wants the occupation of its dead regime to be all Islamic so that Islam still wins.if NATO troops occupied the country might let the people themselves erase Islam. Islamic occupying forces will resist erasing Islam.

The notable exception being Eastern Europe. Having lived under Soviet tyranny for decades the people are in no mode for a new master to enslave them.

I wonder if anyone has interviewed any of the 1979-1980 American hostages, if any are still alive.

I bet the parents and grand parents of today’s protestors were the ones in 1979 rioting FOR the mullahs back then. I always figured after 30 or 40 years the children born then and after would be chaffing for real liberty after islamic oppression.

Got them all in trouble big time 10 years ago. They need a ‘reunion’.

Pharrell Williams needs to go there and make it their theme song. The Village People may be too much but their YMCA song could jump start their new attitude.

Methinks Trump just wants more oil on the market. Brings prices down and makes everyone richer.

Yeah, we’re eradicating Islam in parts of the Middle East, meanwhile in NYC, Minnesota, Maine....

They want a free Iran, one whose government answers to the nation’s interests, ... If these strikes are designed to achieve that end, history will remember them as a turning point.

The strikes ARE designed to do that. The Iranians will have to step up and prove they want a free Iran. I pray they do. The time is NOW!

Israel just destroyed the Tehran headquarters of the Basij, the Iranian corollary to Nazi Germany’s Brownshirts. Hopefully there are mass casualties to avenge the protestors they murdered.

I really wonder about that. When the dust settles, they will still have a large enough proportion of Moslems in their country that it will be next to impossible to get a western style government. Luckily Trump is in charge and he is not likely to embed Islam into any new constitution like Bush did in Iraq.
