World Trade Center under attack on 9/11/2001
Following the terrorist attacks on New York City, Washington D.C., and Pennsylvania, many people in Iran showed their support for the victims with vigils, prayers and letters only to be attacked, arrested and tortured by the Iranian government
Thousands of Iranians attend candlelight vigil in Tehran.

The government of Iran is not the people of Iran.
The government needs to go.
The Iranians I have met have all been wonderful, friendly people who grieve over what has happened to their country.
Do not feed me your BS propaganda that was the Arabs and it has nothing to do with Iran. Even the barbaric Iranian government sent condolences.
I personally think one of the greatest crimes of ineptitude and stupidity was the Carter administration’s handling of the Shah...what they did opened the door for millions of people to live under the thumb of Islamofascism...
I know many Iranians, studied with them in the Navy back in the Seventies and was in college with many in the Eighties.
Iran should have been an ally to us, not an enemy.
I too have Persian friends, and as much as I love and respect them, (A diplomat at the Iranian embassy in Paris GAVE us 4 great location, impossible-to-get tickets to the World Cup a few years ago simply because was asked politely if he knew where we could get tickets! Scalpers would have gotten $5,000 apiece for these seats.) they must do something to remove the psychotics that run their government.
Even the late Ayatollah Khomeini was afraid of this Ahmadinejad when he was with the Revolutionary Guards.
Please see #6.
Most are honorable Men of The Book.
That’s dangerous talk on this board. ;-)
Not for those on the square.
Dittos here. The Iranian regime is cracking down on "unislamic" behavior because so many -- especially the younger people -- are sick of the imams. Iranians are also converting to Christianity in hordes.
This is kind of like the situation in Eastern Europe late in the Cold-War: Great Pro-American People; Very Corrupt Governments!
I have an Iranian Friend, who prefers to be called Persian, she fled Iran with the fall of Shah of Iran, she is one of the most wonderful , kind people I know. I understand what this article means. I pray that one day those wonderful people in Iran who want freedom of oppression from their government are free.
Hmmmm...You sound like a travelin’ man.
The good Iranian people may see that we’re right down the street should they be serious about being free as Iraq.
But Bush like his father is a flawed personality. Bush senior had business continue as usual with the butchers of Tienanmen Square after they nurdered their own people resulting in the situation we are not in, where American purchasers are forced to subsidize a Red Chinese military machine aimed at America’s throat to benefit a few globalist internationalists.
Why are you so upset.
You could have had an opportunity to clear up confusion so folks would know the differents!
I don’t believe that video was prapaganda it really happen it just was not from Iran.
You don’t have to get testy CTG!
nice post Cyrus.
God Bless the Iranian people.
“Even the late Ayatollah Khomeini was afraid of this Ahmadinejad when he was with the Revolutionary Guards.”
I can’t for the life of me even understand how he got elected in the first place. He almost seemed to come out of nowhere. I was sure that Rafsanjani was a definite. I have always gotten the impression that the Iranian people were rather non hard line and, as this story shows, not necessarily hostile to the US, so who voted him in? Did he perhaps proport himself to be one thing before the election, and then show another agenda after the fact?
