This conversation goes beyond headlines—and the details are difficult to ignore. In this episode, we speak again with Ali, an Iranian activist in hiding, who shares direct testimony about life under the regime. His account outlines a system sustained by repression, fear, and the systematic silencing of dissent. This is not abstract—it is personal. Ali describes the use of public executions, intimidation, and widespread suppression as tools of control. He recounts the story of Sevda, a 16-year-old girl, and her mother, Samira's struggle to recover her body—a case that illustrates the human impact behind broader political realities. But this is not only about individual stories—it is about structure. 🇮🇷 Inside Iran, a population continues to live under intense pressure, while narratives are shaped through propaganda and information control. Ali explains how the regime obscures its actions, including the use of civilians as shields and the manipulation of public perception. At the same time, the implications extend beyond Iran's borders. The discussion addresses Iran's nuclear ambitions and its involvement in regional conflicts through proxy groups—factors that contribute to broader instability and international concern. 💬 A MESSAGE TO THE INTERNATIONAL COMMUNITY: Ali's position is direct. He emphasizes that the situation in Iran should not be viewed in isolation. The issues at stake—human rights, state violence, and political accountability—have global relevance. He calls for greater awareness, clearer recognition of realities on the ground, and sustained international attention. ⚠️ This is a critical moment. Ali underscores that many Iranians, both inside the country and in the diaspora, are prepared to support change. However, he stresses that external visibility and engagement may influence what comes next. 🌍 The future of Iran remains uncertain—but the stakes extend far beyond its borders. 👉 Watch the full interview to understand the perspective being shared. 👇Timestamps 00:00 - The ongoing war in Iran and its global significance 01:01 - Inside Iran: The brutal reality of executions and repression 02:01 - Ali's story of hiding and communication risks 03:43 - The regime's tactics of disconnection and control 04:40 - The horrific stories of street protests and martyrdoms 08:00 - The brutal tactics to silence dissent and the use of children as human shields 12:52 - Stories of families forced to pay with life savings for the bodies of loved ones 14:24 - International propaganda, lies, and the fight for truth 18:12 - The plans for organized resistance inside Iran and abroad 21:02 - Understanding the true enemy: regime ideology and foreign influences 22:29 - The nuclear threat of Iran 27:07 - A historical perspective on Iran's revolution 36:45 - The stark difference between Iranian people's desires and terrorist regimes 41:51 - Regional escalation and tensions 52:33 - How misinformation spreads and the importance of spreading the truth 58:09 - An urgent appeal for organizing resistance and international help 🎙️Host, Simeon Myers: Residing in the US, Simeon oversees ARISE's day-to-day operations and initiatives.

Ep. 28: "A Message From Iranians to the US"

🎙️ JCZC Podcast | Ep. 28 "A Message From Iranians to the US" 🔥 **THE TRUTH ABOUT IRAN THEY DON'T WANT YOU TO HEAR** 🔥 What's really happening inside Iran right now? This powerful conversation pulls back the curtain—and what you'll hear will stay with you. Simeon and Mansur Ashkar speak with Ali Majd in a jaw-dropping, mind-blowing interview. Ali, an Iranian in hiding who has recently fled and has lived through it, delivers raw, eye-opening testimony about life under the regime. He exposes the harsh reality: a nation rich in history and culture, now suffocating under oppression, economic collapse, and the systematic erasure of its identity. But this isn't just a story of suffering—it's a story of courage. 🇮🇷 The Persian spirit is alive. The *true Iranians*—not the regime—are rising. Ali reveals that the overwhelming majority of Iranians reject the government. They are not silent. They are not compliant. They are risking everything—jobs, freedom, even their lives—for a chance at liberty. Their bravery echoes the great uprisings of history. Meanwhile, the regime's hypocrisy is laid shockingly bare: Lavish lifestyles for those in power… While ordinary people struggle just to survive. Even more shocking—how religion and culture are manipulated as tools of control. 💬 **A MESSAGE TO THE WORLD—ESPECIALLY AMERICA:** Ali speaks directly to you. He urges the United States and Western nations to recognize the truth: the Iranian people are not the enemy. They are allies in the fight for freedom. They need their voices heard—and their struggle acknowledged. Most importantly, they need your support. ⚠️ This is a nation on the edge of transformation. Ali's message is clear and urgent: Iranians are ready for change. They are fighting for it. And they cannot do it alone. 🌍 Imagine an Iran that is free, thriving, and welcoming—a country that once again becomes a beacon of culture, peace, and possibility. That future is closer than you think… but the world must pay attention. 👉 Watch now. Listen closely. And decide for yourself. 👇Timestamps 00:00 Understanding the Situation in Iran 12:44 Ali's Personal Journey and the Uprising 22:56 The Mentality of Iranians and Their Struggle 31:35 Negotiating with Regimes: A Complex Dilemma 33:58 The Reality of Executions in Iran 35:41 Hypocrisy in Leadership: The Duality of Power 37:56 Living in Hiding: The Perils of Speaking Out 40:22 The Fight Against Oppression: A Call to Arms 45:48 Understanding the Iranian Perspective: A Distinct Identity 51:02 Innocent Lives and Oil: The Cost of War 55:55 A Message to the World: The Voice of the People 🎙️Host: Simeon Myers: Residing in the US, Simeon oversees ARISE's day-to-day operations and initiatives.

Ep. 27: "Is God a Zionist?" with Chris Kuehl

🎙️ Voice For Freedom Podcast | Ep. 27 "Is God a ZIonist?" With Chris Kuehl This thought-provoking discussion dives into one of Christianity's most debated questions: Is God a Zionist?
