Chapter 594: Iranian People's Feelings
Iran's celebration of the anniversary of Khomeini's revolution and the overthrow of the Pahlavi dynasty began in a tumultuous and quietly ended.
The whole process is not clear at all when the party is high. tide, the whole process is very warm, but the ending is surprisingly bland.
At noon, after enjoying the original taste of Iran, there were no Iranians gathering in the square, and the whole Tehran seemed to be empty at once, becoming very quiet and peaceful.
In the restaurant, Fan Yize accidentally ran into a fellow countryman, an international news reporter from his hometown.
It's just that Fan Yize refused the countryman's request for an interview, and also looked at the countryman's recent completion of a draft news report on Iran.
The content of the draft is very interesting, it uses a lot of very realistic words to describe Iranian society, and it takes a lot of ink to describe today's gathering.
The starting point is also very fresh, and the title is also very interesting:
"Ruhanibi *** Safety"
The draft of the article wrote a lot about the internal security situation in Iran, which was personally witnessed and heard by the fellow journalist.
At today's meeting, he wrote: "On the day of the Iranian Revolution, there were four security checkpoints, and accompanied by local diplomats, I passed the first two without going through the security checks, and the last two checkpoints were mixed through the crowds, and ended up standing less than 30 meters away from Rouhani."
The celebration lasted for several hours, and during these hours, Rouhani stood in front of millions of people on the scene, on the podium and around Rouhani, without any security measures, and without bulletproof glass to separate the people, unlike *** in the White House inaugural speech, in the speech on the big occasion, all standing behind bulletproof glass......"
After reading the whole report, Fan Yize has a good impression of this reporter's fellow countryman, this is an interesting young man.
"Why are you writing such a report?" Fan Yize put down the draft news and asked.
"I want to let the country see the real Iran, not the Iran as portrayed by the Western media, and I will also let the country see what kind of real world is outside in the future." The young reporter said excitedly:
"If I hadn't come to Iran in person this time, I wouldn't have believed that the real appearance of Iran as a country is so far from what I imagined.
A year ago, I was casually shooting posters on both sides of a subway station around the Pentagon, and within 10 minutes, I was interrogated three times by US soldiers with live ammunition, and each time they asked to turn on their cameras and check the photos.
Compared with what I have seen and heard in the United States in the past year, I have a lot of feelings, you know? Even in New York, when I go out at night, one of the most common questions my friends ask me is, do you have a gun, and if you don't, bring a gun.
That's when I learned that the police in the United States are not obligated to protect a single American citizen, but to protect the entire United States, so you can't expect the police to help you when you go out to know how to protect yourself and call the police. ”
Fan Yize asked, "What do you think of Iran?" ”
"The police in Iran are very slack, even if you take pictures of the police station, they don't bother to pay attention to you, even if you walk into the police station and then come out, you will not be interrogated, and they rarely patrol in normal times, and they will only go out when there is a police signal, and they are very idle." The young journalist thought for a moment and concluded: "Compared to the United States, the police in Iran are much happier. ”
"What do you think of Iran's current situation? Is the nuclear issue really that important to the Iranians? The more Fan Yize asked, the more interesting he felt, and continued to ask.
Although Fan Yize did not agree to an interview, in his opinion, having time to chat with such a person is a huge gain in itself.
"Mr. Fan, before this question, I can add a question, why is Iran the most comprehensive anti-American country in the entire Middle East world?
After I came to Iran, I asked many Iranians, some of them government officials, some media people, Iranian academics, and ordinary people.
The answer I received was surprisingly unanimous: 'We are an independent, dignified nation. Why is it that the United States and Israel have so many nuclear weapons and no one asks about them, and Iran's peaceful use of nuclear energy will be questioned? ’……”
"If the United States comes back to fight Iran after fighting Iraq, do you think Iran will win?" Fan Yize asked again.
"When I talked to the news director of Iranian national television and English channel, I learned that Iran is not a small country, for Iranians, Iran is a big country, Iran's land area is the sum of the eight countries in Western Europe, the population is comparable to Germany, and the land area and population in the world are ranked seventeenth, the capital Tehran is the largest city in West Asia and the nineteenth largest city in the world, and Iran's GDP can rank among the top 20 in the world.
So when it comes to the topic of war, one of the most common answers I hear is, 'Iran is not Iraq, it's not Afghanistan, we're not that easy to conquer.'" ’
In my opinion, if the United States really wants to attack Iran, then Iran is very likely to be North Korea and Vietnam in the last century, and the United States has a great chance of winning, but it will not take much advantage. ”
"Then do you think the war in Iran will come?" Fan Yize asked again.
"I don't know if it's coming, but I know that in Iran, there is no sense of war coming, in the north of Tehran in the Alborz Mountains, many Iranians are still skiing and playing, the tea restaurants on the top of the mountain are still overcrowded, the congestion is comparable to that of any metropolis in the world during peak hours, the fuel vehicles are lined up for hundreds of meters, the museums are bustling with tourists, and the commercial and downtown areas of various cities in Iran are crowded with people.
This is not the scene of war, there are no three steps and one post, there are no fighter jets whistling in the air, there are no armored vehicles in the streets, there are no sirens sounding in the cities at any time. ”
After a few questions in a row, the answers were very specific, worthy of a reporter specializing in journalism, and his understanding was comprehensive and thorough.
And the last question is also the key to this period, in the international arena, with the Iraqi battlefield in Iraq, when the Iraqi army is powerless to return to the sky, there are many voices in the international community shouting, the United States will immediately turn its guns and aim at Iran.
