I hoped it would never come to shooting them. That night, I had a nightmare in which the protestors threw me on a fire. It’s come back several times, and I can see the faces of the people I was ordered to shoot. I’ve asked a very spiritual mullah to pray for me. I did it for Islam but it wasn’t easy to kill people. We have to remember who they are though – they’re deceitful people who are against the Islamic Revolution. You can’t expect us to stay calm when they want to overthrow our regime.”
