conditions, children's rider organizations and women's rights, ah, well, lot lashona fell on this. all my father was murdered in 2003 by u. s. troops. you know, there was a camp near house which was adjacent to the airport. their troops were always on stand by and when they saw my father sitting there and thought he was monitoring them, another shot later they admitted they made a mistake when they killed him. only when we were at the hospital, the americans told me that their cameras spotted my father and accidentally they shot him, but no contact was made after that. americans only care about themselves. so while other foreign citizens, not only iraqis or take into account last of all of the iraqi blood is worthless for them. all americans only have brought harm to us. things have been getting worse and worse since the invasion, and we do not see any improvement. i would like to say to all americans that the

iraqis have dignity despite the tragedy which happened to us. if they were humane, they would come and apologize, but they did nothing. and we do not expect them to la, simpler. muckraker on the invasion of iraq is led to the destruction and fragmentation of a rocky size. it americans destroyed on national unity. we all saw the crimes perpetrated by the u. s. troops and the black water contract is against the people . the murder of zine ab is a continuation of the american crimes. they did not come to you justice to iraqi people, but to demolish out or bring you more special coverage, including eye witness accounts and revelations as we edge closer to the 20th anniversary of the us led invasion. and you can also visit our website, artie dot com for more on the iraq war. and this tragic legacy. ah

ah, a protest in the streets of iran on the name of women's rights. i'm guy now he's in on this episode at 360 view. we're going to look at what is driving to protest and what effect outside countries are having. let's get started with the death of an iranian woman in police. custody has now had a ripple effect leading to more violence. threatening the crucial oil industry is barking protest across the globe, or international course. mike see to solano, is here to tell us how it all started. study these

all begun. when on the run in woman masa armine was arrested for improperly where he job just safe after being taken into custody. she died. her family says there were bruce, as all over her body suggests, and she had been beaten to death. however, police are claiming, i mean, he died of a heart attack. this led to under robson of protest throughout the country. workers for iran, oil and natural gas production began processing over the death of the 22 year old woman, the demonstrations mark the 1st time down ref, or on the death of masa, a meaning threatened the crucial industry on september 24th. iranian state television suggested at least 41 people have been killed in process for me. however, it runs, government has not given an update. 40 days after her death, thousands were taking processing. i've heard great site celebrations on the 40th

may of morning, as a cultural significance for iranian they begun. saudi heard this then will be the graveyard of faces and woman. life. freedom process stores their claim officers fire at least 5 rounds into the crowd dispensing theory. gas this lead to a need through national movement, for example, process in germany, in france. mamie all over london, england. i'm on the streets up to on to canada. and in the united states during the marine corps marathon in washington, d. c. people began protesting that death police reaction to massa, i mean, is there now there's a turban gain going to run. iran were school age. children are taking videos of themselves wrong in the run. nothing turbans of men in the streets as

a way to protest. i mean, is this one human rights group in iran has estimated 185 people have been killed in iran during the protest? joining us now for more on this is professor at the university, ron mohammed muradi. welcome, dr. mirandi. your doctor, in your view, were the protest in iran concerning the tragic death of a young woman entirely artificial, or do they hit on some discontent within iranian society? apart from western attempts to stoke regime change, we have to remember that the united states hasn't, has been imposing maximum pressure sanctions on ordinary iranians for years. and they've been doing this to create misery and suffering so that people rise up in desperation. and excuse has been the iranian program and the united states, and you're constantly been saying that there's an imminent threat because of iran's

nuclear program. but the last few months, negotiations have stopped and no one in the west is screaming or yelling about the dangers of iranian iranian nuclear program. what does that tell you? it means that their priority shifted. there really wasn't a threat. they were trying to focus on iran, put pressure on iran, but now being claimed as china. so their focus is elsewhere. so they were lying all along. but in any case, the peacefulness, their program and iran was an excuse to put pressure on it. because the united states dislikes the final public, right, because it's independent. now in the case of this young woman died important. the thing is that when use came out and she passed, it was western persian language media based in london. and in the united states that spread the news that she was battered and tortured to death. and even

i thought that there must have been some sort of police brutality involved that she died because they were screaming and yelling about it, day and night. then the footage comes out and it shows her leaving a police fan. she's not hancock, she shows no sign of pain. she goes into a hall, sit there after a while, talks to someone and then suddenly collapses. there is no sign of any entreaty. she's not holding her head or anything like that. then there's the autopsy and 19 berry senior physicians check all her documents, they check the body and they say that she was never physically harmed. you know, it's really interesting because the parallels between what you just described as the timeline of events in iraq almost mimic the a visit time mind of the george ford situation,

which happened here in the usa. what was the iranian people actually told about the racial protest in the united states? and by what main media outlet in use in iran was largely, i think, influenced by, ironically by cnn. and probably the new york times more than anyone else. and this is one of the unfortunate things in general that the global south has to really view it in that is that a lot of our information, not only about the west, but about other parts of the global sounds come from mansion, western sources. and of course, therefore, our understanding of, let's say brazil my understanding and tara, of brazil, when it's influenced by western narratives. then it's based upon an understanding that the, the western, it leads want to lead you believed whether it's objective or not. so

whether it's us internal politics, i think disproportionately american media, mainstream america, media, influential in iran, and even when it's not the united states, when it's other parts of the global south western media, that's an influence that is this proportionate you know, i have learned that wherever there is a fire, a small spark or smoke has to exist in the beginning. therefore, what do you think is the average iranian woman's view of the public morality loss? that's a very difficult question to answer because iran has population of roughly 85000000 . without it out there, 40000000000 points of view among iranian women. and another 40 some years. while i'm writing mess,

according to polls are regularly count carried out in iran by western institutions and iranian institutions. overwhelmingly iranian women believe in the head job because there are muslim, smaller majority believe that there must be some sort of dress code for public when how can it will enforce it and how far it should go is something that is debated. and then there is a minority, and i don't recall how large that minority is. that believes that there shouldn't be any real strict enforcement up at their desk. but again, that is subjective what, what is meant. but the point that is important is that iran is in iran, the use towards women. and the notion of commodification and

objectification here are different and the believe not having a more conservative dress code in iran is to control women, right? that it is to prevent them from being objectified and commodified. now someone may severely do disagree with that perspective. but the point is that the fact is that women in iran or taxi drivers, their bus drivers, their pilots, helicopter pilots, their university professors, the empties in parliament. one of my colleagues that the sister university of ron university of ron medical sciences for medical sciences. she was the minister of health under for 4 years if i'm not mistaken. administrative health is the 2nd

largest government ministry in the country. probably the most complex because it has medical education university professor students. it has health care. it has the hospital network across the country, under his authority to be complex and complicated ministry. it was a woman. so the idea that somehow you run like it, so the radio or the polymer on or, or somewhere else is it is complete nonsense. iran, some utopia for women? no, no you don't, you, utopia is for many, or the run is not the abnormal horrific society that the americans, american government and american needs, or european at least was like, ordinary people. so how fair is it to compare the past history of iran all to the

present under the shop? there was virtually no food. there was a shop or is in control and his family and he had very negative news towards women . yes, a great famous interview where he's actually sitting beside his 3rd wife and dismissing women, i think, with a famous american interviewer, women, a woman interviewer. i don't remember the name, i think one of the 3 major news channels back sen. cs advocate, dc. easy to look it up and back then the majority of iranian women actually didn't even go to school after the revolution. we had the reversal education both for women m. 5 right now the majority of university students in iran are women. and in my, i work in 2 different departments. the last 2 people hire

in the american space department. and i work at our women. i think the last person we hired in the english department, which i also worked at is i think so. but in any case, we have with professors we had, as i said, dina, i called the woman, and the status of women in your honor society is far higher than what it was during the shop by any measure. but women, ours, they dress more conservatively, some of them probably don't want, definitely don't want to dress in such way in the public sphere and many accepted. but the regulations are not strictly enforced at all. you see women in the north run for a long time, especially in north carolina who don't headstart,

but they still wear long trial trousers and they're usually more covered european societies. but it is not at all what the image is not at all like what you would think of if you were reading the new york times, the washington post or the white you fast saying conversation. thank you so much, dr. miranda for joining us all the way from tehran. now, after the break, we're going to give you another view of the iranian protests, and what the end result could be. stay tuned for more. ah, i

ah ah ah. ah, we're discussing the recent iranian protest, julius have more on this topic is e, michael jones. he's a widely published author and communicator on a social, political, and religious topics. welcome,

dr. jones. thank you for joining us. thank you for having me. so let's talk about the protests that are happening at this present moment. why are they happening? okay, 1st of all, you've got a situation that has been festering for a long time, which is the crisis over the his job in 2009 the see i got involved in a ran and tried to overthrow the government by using women as their main proxy warriors, that situation hasn't changed, the situation didn't get resolved, then the revolution got squelch, it got put down. but the resentment in charl resentments are still there and they go back all the way to the of the and or the death of the ayatollah khomeini. in 1989, this is 10 years after the revolution, the revolution effectively ended at that point. but with his death. but the new supreme leader desire to continue it,

which was bad enough. but then he made a really bad decision by introducing birth control into the population of iran. he did this because the birth rate at that point, after the revolution was 78 children, he felt that they couldn't sustain that population. so he had to do the birth control and brought about the biggest drop in fertility history in birth control history. wow. this led to a, basically a demographic collapse. and it also led to as a disruption that we're seeing right now the, the supreme leader. apologize for this in 2010, said it was the biggest mistake you'd ever made and he begged a law for forgiveness. but at this point the, the genie was out of the bottle and you were created. he, he had created basic is the revolutionary situation that we have right now was interesting that you give the history to this is, you know, obviously president abide and under the west was also vice president brock obama.

he tried this during the administration now they're trying it again. i do have to one of those. there was always this idea that the west the got along with the ryan garret with the iranian nuclear deal that came out of the roman ministration. obviously, president trump's administration tore that to pieces that it was out the window. it makes you wonder, does the bite administration actually like this regime? that's an office right now. and if they don't, who do they think would replace it if they are successful over throwing? ah, well they've, we've, this is the, the playbook began in iran in 1953 the playbook meeting, the c i a's plan for overthrowing governments throughout the world. it came to be known as color revolution. that's what it was in 2000 i but in 1953 the united states over through the most or dag administration and put the shy and into place. so the shaw rained for about 29 years. he brought about a policy, a westernization,

that created repugnance among the islamic population, and then the ayatollah came, came in and replaced it with islam mac republic. so the problem here is that iran is a constant pendulum swing between westernization as and where they bring in the shaw to islamic reaction, which is when the ayatollah shows up. so given that history, obviously, the next example was going to be bad. the pendulum will swing back to westernization, and this is what the cia is counting on and they're, they think it's going, they think it's going to work. well, it's interesting because all on top of this is the environment of iran being when them a sanctioned countries and the world did, they've been doing that to kind of trap the pressure on the people on the government. do you feel the sanctions effect the leadership or the common people more at this stage after so many years of being in existence? they always affect the common people more than than the leadership. but the, the untold story about sanctions is that they are another word for tariffs and

terrorist. as the united states found out after lay separated from england can be used to protect project manufacturing. so to sanctions, before the iranian people were in many ways, a blessing in disguise because they promoted the rise of a into industrialization of iran. rather than simply living for amal revenues was interesting because now you bring it to where we are in the present. once again, this is straight out of paper from 2009, using women's rights i say using which there still might be a justification for it to kind of garner this unrest. so what are the main goals of this current protest? what do they hoping to accomplish? this protest went from simply being a protest against a job. in other words, let's up, let's make they're wearing that, his job voluntary. that's how it started out and then escalated into basically an

attempt to overthrow the government. that's what it is. now they are saying that the islamic republic has to go. we can no longer have it as lomberg republic. that is, i think part of the contribution that the c i is making here behind the scenes was the, was a protest get big. they reached a certain point that the, the cia and these people, they're going to go for the whole thing. they're going to overthrow the government . that has called wars. the draconian reaction on the part of the government they per, they correctly perceive it as an attempt to overthrow the government. and now they're just coming, attacking the people gunning the people down in the streets in a way that is going to be counter productive. what i find to be interesting as a shot is a part of the religious aspect of their faith, of the muslim play. some go with a somewhat don't. it's not necessarily a government mandate is in a government that just says you, you have to wear and you don't to sit there taking a religious issue and using it to try to cause changes in the government. can that

actually happen, though, with how the current government is in the leadership and control? are they going to have to give any on this issue? they cannot. they cannot because it's been weaponized into an attack on the government. so the government is backed into a corner, it out, they cannot back down or they have job issue it because it's an existential issue. right now it's not just closing, it's an existential issue about the future of the islamic republic. so my feeling is that at a moment of crisis like this, the only solution is for the ayatollah that for the supreme leader to abdicate, it's got to be something that radical. i think that they should bring president oc medina. job back into power. he's a strong leader, he's a persian nationalist. he resonates with the entire spectrum of persian to islamic . and he should come in and say, ok, the revolution is over. it should have ended and 80 died. it's over now. we're

going to have a new constitution. we're going to have a new republic, but we are going to save the persian people from this cia attack that is absolutely non negotiable. we will not allow the cia to take over our government and destroy our culture, which is what their intent is. we're going to take control of our own destiny, and we're going to do a step by step away into a new republic, a new era, which will not be as lama republic. did he keep mentioning? obviously this is from the outside the see i what i felt 5 for as do you think the women that are in the streets and we are seeing obviously some clashes that are happening, some of them not ending so well that it's their grass roots do they do you think that these women realize that they potentially could be just basically being tools for a bigger picture that has nothing to do with women's rights? the place of women in iranian society? yes, it was look work. well, if you're talking about the women who are taking off the her job, that's only one segment of the population. there is

a large segment of the population who are still wearing that her job there approached acting. that doesn't make the news over here. ok there, protesting, i think from my conversations with the rainy, as i know, they want to preserve the independence of iran. they don't want it, they're, they're unhappy with both sides. they understand that they're being faced with a choice of either anarchy or tyranny. and they're both bad choices. i have a friend who just told me says there's a saying and varsity now i hope it's not too crude for. i have to tell it what it is, but it says i've got a saw my ass and it hurts. going in and it's kurt coming out. that's the, that's the dilemma that these people are faced with right now. they're constantly being confronted by 2 equally repugnant alternatives. and they're having difficulty finding the mean, the middle ground that would allow the unification of the country. well, it's very interesting on that side of it and, and ultimately it,

this isn't going to be anything that in any time soon, you know, i, i just have to, you know, one last question before we go and my produce was wonderful. she's kind of commenting on your interviews, you're giving it a, do you think that in the end, the turbans right now have been the new way for the men to be able to actually act out for the men to kind of get involved in this. and you've got kids doing it, but they're, you know, like i said, it is all ages, teenagers, kids, all of them. do you think that's going to have an effect with this idea of now knocking off people's turbans at the religious sector as they're walking down the street just out in public? that's an expansion. that's an escalation of the revolutionary movement. it shows that the, the contempt that they have for the leadership, it shows also that there's contempt for the religious authority. there were local religious authority. the religious leaders have overplayed their hat. okay. they've gotten to involved in the political process. the classic example was when they

prohibited oc medina, job for running for president. they never should have done that. he is a man of the people he might have solve this problem before it got started. so that turbo, again, it's exact. you're right. it's exactly the same thing as taking off the job, but it's a much more aggressive gesture, obviously, because you're knocking it off of someone else's head. and it's only going to harden the islamic side. the, the molars are going to become now even more determined to resist. when what should happen is that bo shy should now take a deep breath and come together. and let's have a conversation about the future of iran, where everyone can take part. thank you so much for enjoy. ask of asher inside author. accommodate her. dr. e. michael jones. thank you. thank you from me you know, times have changed for various demographics in many societies. and those changes

don't often come sadly without chaos. and to see however, you're naive if you don't think of the geo politics of the west are not playing a role. as a timing of these protest happening as new allies are being drawn by the west is not just a coincidence. different religions and cultures have their own ideologies, and it is bad when they are addressed within their own circles. as observations from the outside can often be receiving. now on the surface, their calls for peace, this would only be accomplish of either the religious regulations were made subjective or there was a regime change. both would have long term effects to a very established body and what happens next would be predictable. as a major changes either to the government or the religion would be guaranteed to follow. no protesters against the regime called the world to show how much it loves women and values freedom. the road is shown time and time again. their actions don't always match the conviction of their words,

and when it becomes inconvenient or at the conflict, no longer present opportunities. and at that time it's usually does on the ground who are left all alone. i'm sky, know hughes and thank you for watching this addition of 360 view until next time. ah, i who is the aggressor today? i'm authorizing additional strong sanctions today. russia as a country with the most sanctions imposed against it, a number that's constantly growing. i think of this question because you said you most your mind or wish you were bending all imports of russian oil and gas in new jersey where you suffer. i know they said she proposal with the literature we're given regarding joe biden,

imposing the sanctions on russia has destroyed the american economy. so there's your boomerang, so ah, regional authorities came russia may sabotaged the energy infrastructure relations with the west the terrier, right? it comes to stay off the prominent american journalist rebuild a report, but also colluded with washington to blow up the new extreme high plan india and tactical authorities, raid bbc office in new delhi and mom by reportedly over allegations that the tax evasion according to arti source, a and to wrong kind of theories of new bilateral agreements in defiance of us, the pressure taking to isolate iran. i keep china for.
