An Iranian civilian, Golnaz, shares her perspective on the ongoing conflict. She once avoided politics but now openly defies the regime.
Golnaz’s transformation mirrors the secularization trend among the educated middle class. She supports Reza Pahlavi, the son of the last shah. Her home was destroyed in a missile attack, yet she remains resolute. 'We endure all these explosive sounds and damages just so they leave,' she says. 'Do not let the war stop until they surrender.'
Protests grow, despite regime efforts to suppress dissent. Demonstrations against the Islamic Republic have gained momentum. Pro-regime rallies are shrinking, indicating a shift in public sentiment.
Amidst the conflict, Golnaz highlights the plight of political prisoners and the need for international attention. 'Tell people that we do not have internet here, and it is our right to know about the conditions of our political prisoners who do not have food. Many of them are being executed,' she pleads.
Her story underscores the determination of Iranians to see the end of the current regime, reflecting a broader sentiment among the youth.
