    Ep. 34: "Iranians: 'We Feel Betrayed'" with Ali Majd and Mansur Ashkar

    🎙️ JCZC Podcast | Ep. 34 Iranians: "We Feel Betrayed" with Ali Majd and Mansur Ashkar 🚨 Has the world abandoned the Iranian people? Ali, an Iranian who fled persecution by the regime, delivers a powerful firsthand account of why so many Iranians feel betrayed. The Iranian people listened to Trump's call, tens of thousands lost their lies, all for what? He argues that new political deals reward the very regime they risked everything to overthrow. 💔 The conversation goes far beyond diplomacy, asking the difficult question: **Can evil be negotiated with—or must it be defeated?** From Iran and Hezbollah to Syria and Lebanon, the panel argues that lasting change can only come from empowering the Iranian people themselves—not from deals with the regime. 🙏 This episode explores: • Why many Iranians oppose the current Iran deal • The human cost of the fight for freedom inside Iran • Whether internal resistance—not foreign intervention—is the real solution • The moral debate over negotiating with authoritarian regimes • Why millions of Iranians say they still need the world's support 💥 A gripping conversation about freedom, sacrifice, and whether the West is standing with the Iranian people—or leaving them behind. 👉 Watch the full interview. Decide for yourself.   00:00 Introduction to the Iran Deal Discussion 01:09 Perspectives from Inside Iran 04:03 The Weight of Trust and Betrayal 06:34 The Complexity of American Foreign Policy 08:25 The Call for Unity Against the Regime 11:37 The Role of the Iranian Diaspora 14:45 The Realities of American Intervention 19:50 The Consequences of Inaction 24:47 The Future of U.S.-Iran Relations 27:21 Reflections on Historical Patterns 31:14 Moral Clarity vs. Self-Interest 35:28 Corruption and Deception in Radical Regimes 37:52 The Quest for Peace in the Middle East 39:55 The Human Cost of Political Decisions 43:59 The Hypocrisy of International Politics 47:29 The Role of Christianity in Iran's Future 53:18 Shifting Alliances and the Implications for Israel 58:29 Hope and Resilience Amidst Despair   🎙️Host Simeon Myers:  Residing in the US, Simeon oversees ARISE's day-to-day operations and initiatives.

The regime responded with the deadliest crackdown since the 1979 revolution — tens of thousands killed in days. The internet was shut down. Those who spoke up were hunted. Ali was one of them. Today he's displaced in the Kurdistan Region of Iraq — helping other refugee families, speaking out against the IRGC, building bridges between Iranians and Kurds, and calling for a free Iran and a unified Middle East.   🎙️Guest Mansur Ashkar: Former Druze Israeli special forces officer, peace activist, content creator, and host of The Ashkar Show.
