To all the Iranians in military uniform,
Our country is on the edge of new era. It’s on the verge of a big change. After 30 years of oppression and brutality by the hand of the Fascist regime, the Iranians are saying “no more.”
The regime has lost any legitimacy, if it had any to begin with. The vast majority of Iranians support the people’s unprecedented uprising, and the world, in an unprecedented show of solidarity, is fully behind the people of Iran.
This is not about Mousavi. It’s about the Iranian people’s urge for freedom. This is an irreversible movement. Even if the regime is able to crush this uprising, the trend of its ultimate collapse has officially started.
The regime solely and desperately depends on you in the uniform to last a few more days in power. Already, we’ve seen thugs and murderers form the official and un-official military units massacring our people. You have to understand that at this point of time you have to make an important decision. Either join people’s struggle for a free Iran, or stand against them and risk an eternal damaged legacy. People will come back and look what did the armed forces, which should be part of the people, do when the people stood against oppression. Remember that the Shah wasn’t overthrown just with protests on the streets, he was overthrown by strikes and military rebellion along with demonstration. Without your assistance, it will be tough for the people to topple the regime. It will be difficult for Iranians to achieve their goal of democracy and freedom.
You have to look at your conscious now and decide what is more important to you: Iran or the regime? A better future for Iran without this regime, or a miserable present and future with this regime.
For Iran’s sake, join the people. The people need you. You do not have to take orders from a Fascist regime that is using you to butcher the same people you supposed to protect. Without your participation, the triumph over tyranny in Iran will be lengthy, costly and bloody. The people have spoken. Iranians consider you part of them. Show them they’re not wrong. Show them you don’t want to kill your innocent brothers and sisters who are asking for nothing but a better future for Iran, an Iran that you are part of too.
Think about how this and next generations of Iranians and how history will judge you. Our great poet Saadi says: Mard nekonam namirad hargez. Become a “nekonam”. Do what’s right for Iran and for the people, and leave a legacy of heroism and humanity. Rebel against the regime and join the people. Do it for Iran and for yourself. Our country has been destroyed in the last 30 years. You can make a difference and provide it with an opportunity for a better future.
Be an Iranian hero and say no to Khamenei’s dictatorship. Disobey his orders. Revolt against the murderers and the blood suckers. Join the people.
