So please, I beg you, do whatever you can to stop this deal,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>The Iranian citizen noted that the US President Donald Trump had told the Iranians to \u201ckeep protesting, and we did, we trusted him.\u201d Addressing a possible future deal, Hamidi said that to fight people carrying guns is not possible, framing that the Iranian people can\u2019t defeat the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.jpost.com\/middle-east\/iran-news\/article-885839\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Islamic regime<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"article-paragraph-section article-body-paragraph\">\u201cThe government itself hired terrorist groups, Muslim terrorist groups, to kill people. And we still don&#8217;t know what they did with the bodies,\u201d said the Iranian man on his appeal. He intended to explain the current situation of today\u2019s Iranian young generation, noting that the population wants Islam out of the country, \u201cWe are running away from it, especially my generation,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p class=\"article-paragraph-section article-body-paragraph\">Hamidi noted that the Iranians face a moment of despair, and that the US attack against Iran would be their last hope, \u201cYou don&#8217;t know how hopeless our people are right now. I mean, I myself, I can&#8217;t eat. I can&#8217;t sleep,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p>Iranian activist\u2019s last message opposes US-Iran talks<\/p>\n<p>The Iranian young man expressed solidarity for exiled <a href=\"https:\/\/www.jpost.com\/middle-east\/iran-news\/article-884853\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Crown Prince Reza Pahlavi<\/a>, explaining that no one is the\u00a0 same from the Islamic regime, and that Iranians never know who will be taken next, \u201cI mean, I&#8217;m so fortunate that they haven&#8217;t got me yet, but I guess that&#8217;s why I&#8217;m doing it myself.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"article-paragraph-section article-body-paragraph\">Hamidi addressed the video as a way to give some meaning to his life before it ended, something that he considered multiple times under the weight of the Islamic regime on his daily life. \u201cI can&#8217;t even cry about it because it&#8217;s so laughable to be born in a place like this, to have no future. But I hoped the people of my country would finally have a future after all this,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\u201cIf you\u2019re watching this, then I\u2019m not around anymore,\u201d said Pouria Hamidi, an Iranian man from the southern&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":281527,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[3190,54,42,87,109282,79845,55,43,21454,3336,40,38,41,39,1032,730,7421],"class_list":["post-281526","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-headlines","tag-death","tag-donald-trump","tag-headlines","tag-iran","tag-iran-protests","tag-islamic-regime","tag-islamic-republic","tag-news","tag-reza-pahlavi","tag-tehran","tag-top-news","tag-top-stories","tag-topnews","tag-topstories","tag-united-states","tag-washington","tag-white-house"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/281526","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=281526"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/281526\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/281527"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=281526"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=281526"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=281526"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
