Actress Golshifteh Farahani says decades of resistance have left Iran ‘on fire again’
Iranians have resisted the Islamic Republic for decades, actress Golshifteh Farahani said, describing the country as “on fire once again” amid renewed unrest.
“The people of Iran have resisted the Islamic Republic since 1979. 46 years of resistance. Thousands killed, tortured, executed,” Farahani wrote in a post on Instagram on Friday.
The damage inflicted on Iran’s human and cultural resources, she said, was so severe that “no regime could destroy Iran like this even on purpose.”
Iranians, Farahani said, are exhausted by “injustice, corruption, and an economy that crushes them,” while oligarchs grow richer and foreign powers exploit the crisis. “My heart beats with the people of Iran,” she wrote.
