I am A. A. from Tehran. A structural engineer and a government employee. My slogan is: Elections in the Islamic Republic, never. I do not reject the current strike of the representatives, but some representatives should know that the Iranian people are at their breaking point and want to dismantle the foundation of this dictatorship. Your strike may not be wrong, but it is too late; it is too late and your goal is something else. The people's question for you is: Suppose you were not disqualified and went to the parliament, what would you have done? Would it have been better not to have run at all given the negligence and cowardice you displayed seven years ago? Another question is why, when workers are killed in the provinces, do you not mention this massacre in your statements? Why did you not strike when students were crushed? Do you care for the people or are you just after power, forced to become the clowns of Khamenei, Vaezi Tabasi, and Mahdavi Kani again? And you, the Voice of America, tell the United Nations on behalf of Iranians that: The Iranian people are seeking a real referendum. Why are you waiting?
