I am Canadian, and I had a University professor (who happened to be Iranian) who cancelled our lecture for a day when she found out that an Iranian graduate student, who she was closely working with on research, was on PS752 on her way home from visiting family in Tehran when they were attacked. It was perhaps the only time I didn't celebrate a cancelled lecture. Multiple other students and former students from my university perished aboard that flight.
This is why i wont go to see my family in russia. Im terrified of something happening.
I’m sorry for the teacher and you Russian person. Hope you see them soon
This is just sad. People are literally suffering in dystopian countries. I respect all people who came from third world countries because of the pain they endured
I am Canadian and an Iranian student in my classes was telling us how one of her friends was messaging them about boarding the plane before it was shot down
Sorry to hear that. I can sense how that might be
We're thankful of every single one of you out there who helped our voice reach out to the entire world, it makes us not feel alone. From Iran with love 🇮🇷
Wrong flag!
She's right. That's the flag of the theocracy occupying our country. The one we're burning on the streets.
Much love to you friend.
Greetings from America. I myself am Iranian, and I have lots of family in Iran. Some of whom are participating in these very protests. As I can vouch, from a free and democratic nation, it is worth it. Every drop of blood spilled is worth it. Keep fighting, don't let the dictators win. All my Iranian brothers and sisters, stay strong. 🇮🇷
@@gamerthehoopa last I checked iran is a democracy,a theocratic democracy but a democracy neverthless.
Iranians are some of the world’s best, kindest, and brightest people. Their being held hostage by those rotten theocrats is a crime not only against the Iranian people but against humanity. For once in forever, the world is missing Persia and its invaluable contributions to the human story. Sending love from Libya, the birthplace of the heart symbol. ❤️
How are things going in Libya on since it has been liberated ?
@@itsDerekG
Liberated from who?
@@itsDerekG Is it better to leave countries alone when listening to stories like this, or give them a shot at freedom?
@@pedroxyo the old dictator we had massacred. As far as I know Libya is considered a failed state, controlled by three governments in various locations, I think
Libyans are some of the world's uhhhhh most bombed unfairly by usa and nato people.
I'm Ukrainian. We kind of have our own thing going on, but that doesn't mean we can't put our full support behind two causes. You're people inspire mine in so many was, and all I can hope is that we can manage to do the same for you.
you guys got a pretty big thing going on. To be honest, i expected that russia would wreck you in 72 hours. Happy to see that i've been wrong
@@sugandesenuds6663 imo it's now only a matter of time until Ukraine wins conventional land war against a country 36 times bigger
Bro if Ukrainians keep resisting it's only a matter of time until the nukes come also most likely the aid from Europe is going to stop cause the gas and electricity prices will be very high and people are going to be protesting AGAINST UKRAINE now sorry to tell you but that's the truth.
@@justADeni 3 times bigger. Land mass dosen’t really matter in this case, but the population size does.
@@sugandesenuds6663 same, i honestly expected no more than a month
I don't cry much, but this one moved me immensely. I am reminded of the great privilege I have to be in a country where I would never even consider these atrocities occurring by the hand of the government. I feel so small and useless sometimes, sitting here comfortably at my home, watching as so many people abroad are at war, being killed, and living in constant uncertainty as to what tomorrow brings.
All I can do right now is give Iran my best wishes. You are seen and we are rooting for you. I hope and pray that your rights are restored, and I hope to have a tiny fraction of your courage throughout my life. You are an inspiration to us all. Long live the people of Iran.
This existence is harsh for emotionals, we get ragged and look stupid.
You can do more than send your best wishes, you can talk to your friends about Iran and tweet about it, to keep the discussion going :)
@@pain_rain609 heh the most frustrating thing is when your country is infiltrated by foreign agents, replacing the former centrist rulers with a brutal anti communist dictatorship, who executed innocents and people who spoke out against it, with my family losing a fk ton of family members in the process, all in the name of freedom and democracy
Thanks USA 🙂
we all stand with you, Iranian friend. May your fight for freedom succeed and may those vile and corrupt criminals who currently hold the power be brought to justice for the countless lives they've taken. Greetings from France.
Same to you, American and European friends. May your corrupt leaders stop making you believe you are free.
Freedom of speech ?

Democracy ?
What a laughable reason, it's all about oil and western hegemony.

All the best to the people of Iran from Ukraine! The world is watching how both Ukrainians and Iranians are fighting against totalitarian regimes.
Lets hope the Russian and Chinese people are soon to join in that fight against totalitarianism
@@senorsombrero1275 I think we all hope for that. But at this point, I'm just hoping that the nukes don't fall because a whole lot of countries with a lot of power are in very precarious situations right now. Whatever happens, everybody would lose in a WWIII situation.
@@senorsombrero1275 Russia will China won’t not because they can’t but because they learned a sad lesson: China is too big and populated to be an ACTUAL democracy it would fall apart again. And they know that the average Chinese just wants a strong government which doesn’t exaggerate to much with violence and concentrates itself with economic interests not military ones
@@Boretheory This is a false notion used by the CCP because they fear civil action. China is not too big to be a Democratic powerhouse, case and point: India. It's not perfect, but it is Democratic and a far cry from the totalitarianism China is held by.
@@senorsombrero1275 Chinese people rn are too fatalistic. Although they think things are getting worse, they also don't think there's anything they can do about it. Especially after Tiananmen square and the Hong Kong.
Thank you so much for talking about this. As an iranian you have no idea how much i'm thankfull for this.
Stay strong, wishing you all the best from 🇮🇱
This is devastating. Hopefully your country finds peace in a few years because I am sure this won't last short.

@@mdi8164 Hindus are a minority in kashmir, if you can't understand that not my fault

I give all my support to the Iranian people in challenging their decrepit, theocratic regime. My biggest frustration is that speaking out is the only thing we (in the West) really can do. No matter what the future entails, I think this is a situation the Iranian people will have to solve themselves. Talking helps, certainly. Speaking out is a massive aid we tend to underestimate. But I can’t really think of anything else other than our government officials speaking out against the Iranian leadership and putting pressure on them.
They do. They put sanctions on them to make the economy worse and idiots like you suddenly start wondering why people protest
Not the only thing we can do. We could arm the protestors so they can do the only thing that's actually going to work. But they have to be the ones to actually decide they want a better world, free of the terrorist "Islamic republic".
I see there are two replies here, but for some reason I can't see them. I don't know why...
Truly a shame of what happened to her. No matter how you feel about how a government should govern or where that authority comes from, be it laws inspired by holy books and so called holy men or laws inspired by men and women who were given the consent to govern, a government that believes in killing their own people for small slights that would normally go unnoticed by most people is not a government that should be saved. I truly hope that the leadership in Iran is changed and that the people will be able to live in peace and without fear that their own government believes that they have the right to kill them. Thank you Kraut for sharing this message.
One of my favorite profs at the University of Ottawa (Canada) during my undergrad was Iranian and taught international development and conflict/political studies. I purposely took his classes several semesters in a row as he was always in a good mood and joyful. The day that the passenger plane to Tehran was shot down he sent out an email telling us our classes would be cancelled that week. Three students that he knew well had just been killed by a regime that would not face any accountability. The week after anyone could tell how hard this had hit him, it was extremely depressing to see
He was killed indirectly by american recklessness. May god destroy the american regime.
Were you and @3DGECASE (Another comment that told the same story) classmates?
@@user-uh4pt6kw9q Yet, who fired the missile that shot down the plane? You'd think they'd react better to the "threat of American recklessness" while not shooting their own people down, no?
My admiration for you only grows, Kraut, and even more so for your Iranian friends.
I wish the best from my heart to all Iranian people. Unfortunately there is no leader or an opposition group that people can unite behind and get hope from to start a revolution. I hope there will be some group or someone who will take some charge. I wish great times for the people of one of the greatest civilization of history.
“morality police” sounds like something out of 1984

As an American, it pisses me off how long we spent in Iraq playing wack-a-mole when this shit was happening right next door
@@olliegoria funny thing is The iraq Invasion meant Afghanistan was left less defended and the Talibans came back
Not to discriminate, the system is run on capital
The US government is in a tight space when it comes to Iraq. The US is dead set on up holding the non-proliferation agreement even if its means war. That's why it is trying to work with Iran to get a nuclear deal. Right now Iran is near a crucial stage in the development of nuclear weapons. So the US is treading the chaos in Iran carefully.
@@vyros.3234 should just invade

Truly powerful video. Thank you Kraut for giving these people a voice through your channel. I learned alot from this short video, and I'm sure many other westerners did as well.
I cannot express the respect I have for those fighting for their freedom against such adversity. You are an example to all of us.
And thanks to Kraut for providing a voice and resources to help from the outside.
Portugal roots for you, people of Iran. Good luck on your pursuit of freedom🙏🇵🇹
Being Polish 🇵🇱 I don't think there is much I can do, since probably the Iranian elites are not coming to my country, but I'll try to help Iran and write a letter to the EU representatives, which I elect in EU elections. Freedom to Iran!
Holding EU representatives accountable is very important because the EU is a regulatory powerhouse. It would make all the difference.
THANK YOU!
As the child of an Iranian mother, now living in Canada, my family has witnessed the atrocities of the Islamic Republic first-hand. My uncle died in the pointless war in Iraq, and the morality police detained my mother and kept her in a crampt cell for 2 days without food nor water; all for carrying images of herself taken without a hijab in another country. The West is not innocent either; they overthrew the democratic government led by Mossadegh and installed an incompetent king that threw Iran down the path of totalitarian authoritarianism. I hope the suffering of our people will end, and wish for our nation to open up to the free world and be liberated from oppression.
This is what I am saying, these guys fake with their fake empathy trying to clean themselves of wrongdoings. They only* care about their* interests, not us. To a major extent, they caused this whole mess. And now they stand with our people. Sure.
The British Prime Minister isn't completely democratically elected. Both are appointed by a monarch.

I also hope that my comment helps this video reach more people.
- another viewer of you great video content from Iran
Being from India 🇮🇳, there is no chance that our government will say anything about things that happen outside of our subcontinent, but as a country that has seen our fair share of inequality towards women, and trying and winning against these barriers of injustice everyday, we stand with you! Stay strong! and do remember one thing, there is always a shining light of hope at the end of the dark tunnel of fear and struggle, but once you are able to cross this tunnel, with open hands, freedom will be waiting for your arrival.
I support the Iranian people in their hard times. I hope Iran gets through this and moves forward into a brighter future.
I wrote my member of parliament here, in Australia, just now, with a link to the video. He is a kind and compassionate man, I hope he takes it further.

Tyrants love nothing, but eternally hunger for more; this makes them willing and able to control people who love others and life, by threatening to destroy what they have from General, to Soldier, to Policeman, to you in a sick Ponzi Scheme of death. We have to be brave, we have to risk losing what we love; or else resign ourselves, our sons daughters and friends to chains.

Thank you for sharing this, Kraut. I hope the best for your friend here and their cause.
Thank you for getting this message out, I think it’s important to get this more on-the-ground perspective
Being in the United States, I hesitate to write my representatives about putting sanctions on Iranian officials. They might use the excuse to put more harsh sanctions on the country itself and harming their citizens even further.
Well, there's still plenty of other work to do. Uniting all Iranians behind the ideals of the revolution for instance. I get the impression Iran is hopelessly divided. Some want Western governments to implement sanctions, others want fight the revolution on their own without Western interference. Some want a complete ban on hijabs, others want freedom for women to wear what they want and there's a big group that's apathetic to those Islamic rules and are just radical anti-America. Heck, Iranians even have no clue what their future flag should look like! I'm an overworked Dutchman and not a great organizer, because there needs to be a sort of symposium to discuss the following issues:
- Concensus what the Iranian flag should be
- A new Iranian Constitution
- Gathering intel how to combat the regime more effectively.
- Setting up a global lobby network to make sure governments and NGOs are truly going to help Iran more effectively, efficiently and predictably. For example: The average Western citizen can't set up a legal framework in which Starlink can operate uncensored in Iran. That's a typical job for big lobby groups.
Maybe you should just overthrow your government and stop the sanctions that hurt the average iranian???

Hey Kraut, thank you for your support. If you ever wish to do a video on how Iran got to it's current situation, I highly recommend the book “All the Shah's Men.” It goes through Iran in the 19th and 20th century. From the rise of the Qajar dynasty, Reza Shah's coup up until operation Ajax (and the consequences of the latter). Thanks again for giving a voice to the voiceless.

Thank you for sharing your friend’s message with us, Kraut.
I've asked to contact the minister of foreign affairs of the NL, and voiced my concerns that he haven't said anything about the ongoing situation in Iran. I hope that I'll be able to mail or write to him, but I'll most definitely ask if they are planning to do something.
Amazing that you use your platform to voice these issues, Kraut! I hope we can inspire people to change the way governments view these issues.
Unlike many of the other totalitarian regimes in the world right now, I think that Iran has immense potential to not only overthrow their government, but to do so in a way that is an actual improvement and not just a descent into anarchy. The Iranian people proved a long time ago that they were ready for liberal democracy, and the US _criminally and indefensibly_ destroyed that path for them. I think it's clear that the Iranian people are willing and able to seize control and govern themselves. The US _should not get involved militarily,_ and maybe not even officially (I doubt that anyone in the middle east could possibly look at our foreign policy history and disagree...) But the _people_ of the US should be offering any support that they can, and the best way we can do that is by making sure that information and channels of communication remain freely available and continue to have robust security against state spying.
We _should not under any circumstances_ start doing what we did to the Russian people and cut them off digitally. Cutting the Russian people off was one of the most short-sighted and idiotic things we have done in my living memory. All we have accomplished by doing that is keeping Russians _even more_ intellectually and informationally isolated from the truth, and made it nearly impossible for them to resist their government's propaganda and control. It's really hard for me to fault the Russian people for buying into their state sponsored narrative on the war when we're the ones who have clamped down and restricted their pipeline to the outside world.
Let's _not_ do that to Iran (any more than we already have). We need to make sure they have access to outside news, convenient video/ image/ media sharing services, and secure, encrypted communications technology. The Iranian government is extremely fragile, and with every new wave of protests that roll through their streets, the cracks get pried apart a little bit more. The best way for us to support them is to make sure they have unrestricted access to outside information and the technical capability to share information with all of us and with each other, so they can coordinate their offensive against their oppressors.
And while we're at it, we need to re-open the Russian public's access to these same things. It can be done without funneling money into the oligarch's pockets. Yes, their government will use these same services to spread their propaganda, but they're going to do that, anyway. But if we continue to cut them off, then all we will be doing is making sure that their government can control the narrative with _zero_ intellectual opposition and leave any resistance in their country completely isolated from each other and from us.
how did we cut them off.
Kraut, how wonderful of you to do this! These protesters are so very brave! Also, the people, us little, the 'regular' people of most countries in the world, maybe all, have more in common with each other, and always have, than we do with our 'leaders'! 👍🌊💙💙💙🌊🥰✌
I hope this happens in my country (Pakistan) at this point we’ve just accepted injustice and sometime support it, I’ve lost hope on that country and our system, we don’t even know who’s in charge, we’ve kept on humiliating ourselves over and over again, I just want to see my people happy and not see orphans begging for money on the street, I just want my people to get educated and to learn, I just want my people to live a good life in a good country.

Thank you for sharing Kraut, it's so hard to get the message out to the mainstream
The best insight into the people of Iran I ever got was in a UA-cam video from a Danish man trying to drive to China. His description of how people treated him in Iran shocked me with how kind and hospitable they were, it felt almost fictional. But instead it was as real as it gets.
Godspeed.
I fear for the chaos that is to come for the Iranian people, revolution does not come without bloodshed
Ma men, strong suport from Poland. We had went thru revolts and revolutions, and after a while we finnaly achieved the goal of having our own free, and independent state. We still have problems, some would say that we have a lot of them. But ultimatly we achieved it, and i pray for you that you and your fellow countryman and women can achieved this to, to achieve democracy.
Niech żyje wolny Iran.
I needed to watch this. How truly inspiring that the Iranian population is willing to risk so much. So admirable. Love from Canada
Thank you so much for spreading this message.
I heard about this. I hope this incident will contribute to the regime one day falling completely.
It is shocking to see how hard in the 21st century achieve freedom. Shocking. Dictatorships became so sophisticated... Support for the brave Iranians!!!
ever heard of african countries of drc, south sudan?
Iran is better.
@@SuperSanic.. being better than something worse doesn’t mean you are good
As an Egyptian.. thank you Kraut, you really put your money where your mouth is ♥️🇮🇷♥️
Peace to the people of Iran. You're fight for justice is inspiring. One day a world without authoritarianism and theocracy will be realized and when that day comes we will hold hands as brothers and sisters all.
I've been through a lot in the last few days but this, this brought tears to my eyes.
Please stand with us, help us join the free world
Love from India 💖💖
Thank you for using your platform for raising awareness!
I fully support the brave Iranian people
I´m a Mexican who lived in Vancouver, Canada for some years. Still have family there. I have always been appaled by how many rich Iranians live there. Residing on the most luxurius neighborhoods of north and west Vancouver. With super expensive cars you could always find them buying goods on the most expensive department stores. It´s like the authorities there don´t really want to see that they are harbouring the families of corrupt and possibly terorrist politicians and bureaucrats. On the contrary, they are profiting from it.
When I was in University I had an Iranian adjunct English professor who was extremely creative but looking bad it's clear that as a creative, intellectual and outspoken young man he would not be welcome in his home country. He was a great and caring teacher and I hope he's doing well
My respect for you only grows for you I hope for the best to the people in iran
In college one of instructors was from Iran and she told her stories of survival and escape to America. I sadly lost touch with her over time but I think of her often with these events in Iran. I hope this revolution succeeds and I hope that Iran can know true freedom. May the names of those who fought and died against the regime be the heroes of a new Iranian state that represents the Iranian people.
As an American I hope that the Iranian people are successful in overthrowing the authoritarian regime and establishing a democratic and free Iran
As not an american I'm always concerned when american wants a regime to be overthrown
How'd that work out with Syria and Libya
@@mr.smooth8218 iran was basically ruined by americans aswell
@@itsDerekG The problem is the USA orchestrating forced coups and "democratization" of nations they deemed "too communist" or "too authoritarian"
You can't just force democracy onto a nation, do that and the president will seize full power the first change he gets, the people won't care since they never even had the drive for democratic vote
This story is different now, the Iranian PEOPLE are tired of the theocratic regime and want it put down, they want the WILL of the people heard and FOLLOWED. That's how you build democracies, this is how the Portuguese Catholic ultra-conservative dictatorship fell. The people had enough and, with the help of rogue military units, the dictatorship fell with 0 shed blood.
Of course this is an exception, revolution tends to have casualties, as unfortunate as it is, but you can't silence the people, you can only out them down for the near future, and given how the people of Iran are now, the current regime WILL fall, if not today, in the near future.

You're right, us Americans shouldn't do anything about this regime in Iran. I mean we don't want to ruin that region anymore right? Thank you for opening my eyes, I will lobby and protest to make sure America doesn't give an inch to theses Republican rebels.
Truly well-written message
thank you for posting this
Thank you so much for sharing this.
Good on you Kraut for using your platform, Iranian women can use all the help to have their voices heard.
