Roger Waters Defends Murderous Iranian Regime amid Protests: ‘One Man’s Terrorism Is Another Man’s Freedom Fighting’
Breitbart ^ | 18 Jan 2026 | JEROME HUDSON

Pink Floyd co-founder Rogers Waters defended the murderous regime in Iran, one week after defending former Venezuelan dictator Nicolás Maduro, calling claims that Iran has been a leading sponsor of terrorism around the world “nonsense.”

“The government sent the police out to protect those grocers, those business owners, those ordinary working people in Iran, ok? And they were attacked by a gang of armed thugs who murdered, we believe, armed thugs, probably organized by MI6 and the CIA,” Waters said about the deadly response from Iran’s government to protesters in an appearance this weekend on Piers Morgan Uncensored.

“They’re not. They were protesting against inflation, the devaluation of their currency,” Waters said when Piers Morgan asked why thousands of people across nearly 200 Iranian cities have taken to the streets to protest their own government.

“The mass of the people are absolutely solidly opposed to the foreign interference — and this, of course, includes all of the sanctions against Iran that have caused the massive inflation,” Waters said before being asked why he thinks Iran has been sanctioned

No moral compass. It’s all just relative.

I have NO interest in anything Roger Waters has to say. NONE.

Anyone, who thinks that flying inflatable pigs bedecked with Jewish religious symbols above the stage in his concerts is some kind of “profound” sociopolitical statement is right up there with toddlers smearing the walls of their crib with excrement just to see their mother’s reaction, IMO.

I totally agree with you.

It’s a shame because I used to like their music, and a number of their songs were in my repertoire (Wish You Were Here, Time, Comfortably Numb, etc).

Now I can’t sing those songs, without thinking about what an antisemitic pig waters is.

Roger Waters also hates Israel, or more likely, Jewish people.

Oh well, why not? The Iranian leadership is part of the “resistance” - anti-American, anti- western values, anti-Israel. Why not defend Iran?
