She’s Fleeing Iran. But Not the Fight.

Thousands have taken to the streets in Iran after the death of 22-year-old Mahsa Amini, who died after being detained by the country’s morality police. Hundreds have reportedly been killed by authorities during the unrest. We explore whether the uprising will bring about lasting change and hear from a young Iranian-Kurdish activist who fled her hometown to take up arms over the border in Iraq.

  1. Sorry if you flee your country in crisis, civil war or an invasion you also flee the fight, this is just how it works by design.

    1. @David Getling My comment is meant to be universal, I have no idea what is going on in Brasil it is just response to the title of the video.

    2. @Igor Antonelli This might end up very good or very bad but I hope that they will do the coup, I thought communism was stopped with the fall of soviet union but it turns out it is still alive and well.

  2. Congratulations president Trump….Supreme Court grants a stay, temporarily blocks release of Trump tax records to House Democrats

  3. Big shout out to Paul Pelosi for supporting the LGBTQ community and bending over to help his lover

  4. Unfortunately what’s going on in Iran is definitely not a fight. We have lots of protestors bleating like sheep, and some of them getting slaughtered like sheep. But dictators don’t willingly relinquish power, no matter how much bleating there is, or how long it goes on for. If Iranians want freedom then they have to be prepared to FIGHT HARD for it!

  5. killing people in Iran is an everyday task for the regime, it’s not only border parts or kurdish parts, most of us don’t even know how many a day people die, this should be the end of this cruel regime, by the way thanks for supporting iranirans and making these kind of journalism we need the world to know about the condition we live in

  6. Sometimes when we are bored, we just want time to pass. Don’t watch the clock and waste time, do what it does. Keep going.

      Guitar playing = Time Travel: Mathematically, the proof is simplified on my napkin and explained in the link (click above):

      The guitar’s fretboard enable’s removal of all “written” representation of said “music” – including the “measure” portion of written music. 4/4; 5/4 etc.. or the beat. When the TIME SIGNATURE is removed, BOOM – time travel. Voila !

      The guitar: On each string the following occurs along the fretboard [Whole tone = 2 spaces on the fretboard. Half tone = a single space on the fretboard]: Whole tone – Whole tone – Half tone – Whole tone – Whole tone – Whole tone – Half tone (repeat) = THE MAJOR SCALE.

      Guitar is all together the coolest thing.

  7. Respected Speaker Nancy Pelosi 🇺🇲,
    ,1️⃣Shut the doors of worry when the world insults you.
    2️⃣ FEAR only if they give you lot of glories .( NEVER MIND INSULTS ,BUT INSTEAD PREPARED OR LEARN TO FORGET IT OR WIPE IT AWAY LIKE GARBAGES..( BECAUSE ACCORDING TO JESUS THE WORLD WILL GIVE YOU ONLY INSULTS ) Be prepared you will get insults.
    3️⃣IF ANY OF YOU HAVE FEAR FOR DEATH IT MEANS TOU ARE NOT A CHRISTIAN.
    4️⃣All comes to you are only insults but not threats . Because they can’t threat us ( give much fear ) much if we keep sanctify Jesus as Christ in our heart .😁😁😁😂😂
    5️⃣ Be prepared to face INSULTS of 10000,,,
    King David says ,,Psalm 3:6
    I will not be afraid of ten thousands of people, that have set themselves against me round about.)
    Sufferings are only helping us done with sin. 1 Peter 4:-1,2 ourselves must be prepared for insults .
    Water can’t be mixed with oil .
    So they can’t accept you as king.
    Even bad christians will do the same .
    🅰️
    If Apostle Paul was not converted to christianity or Christian ,he might be a big boss in his community.( Jewish)
    But after becoming a christian he has only lot of insults .
    But he says now he says he delights in the insults because of a christian.
    When people of Gentile world insults you a lot you need not to get a grievened heart .❤️.
    You must know that they have no God or jesus or hope of eternal life.
    So in a real case you must fear only if they give you lot of respect ..
    So when we go to the world or live in the world we must not love the world .
    Because what is there in the world ?
    Only pride lusts of flesh and eyes .
    That’s too brings death or fear.
    There is no father’s love if we go to world .
    So Why should we love the world ?
    The world 1 JOHN means back slided CHRISTIANS.
    They give lot of troubles than even Gentiles
    But we have strugglles with them .
    But a Gentile 😂 who worships IDOLS ,we must keep away from it .
    It means we don’t hate a idol worshipper but idols .
    (Anything that takes away us from God)
    🅱️So when you go to the world go PRAYING well that God should help you get rid of lusts .
    Look straight (solomon)
    Do not listen even what your servants speak ( Eccelisasist 7 )
    🆎Forget all pasts ,,
    Because it is true in the past you wouldn’t have received any respects but do not muddle your mind with the past .😁😁😁 immediately forget the past it means you will have only insults for sure )( Philippines chapter 1)
    John 15 :-18 “If the world hates you, keep in mind that it hated me first. 19If you belonged to the world, it would love you as its own. As it is, you do not belong to the world, but I have chosen you out of the world. That is why the world hates you. 20Remember what I told you: ‘A servant is not greater than his master.’ b If they persecuted me, they will persecute you also. If they obeyed my teaching, they will obey yours also. 21They will treat you this way because of my name, for they do not know the one who sent me.
    God bless USA.
    God bless President Joe Biden to continue the next term.
    We must not even fear about death .
    Because 1 Peter 4:-1,2 ,,
    If you fear death then you must know that other than the reason of 1 Peter 4:-1,2 ,we have no reason .
    We will die only by the will of God or a purpose
    So we need not to fear much for DEATH.
    We have new body which can’t be killed after .
    We will have our friends and Jesus in heaven 💯
    But Gentiles will neither have love lasting long or they will have chance of seeing heaven .
    Perish here for ever ..,,
    So do not consider them or their insults more important to be a matter
    You can pity them .
    But forget their insults ( Apostle PAUL in philippines 1)
    Soon Jesus will come in His Glory then they all insulted you might lament .
    All men while living here are watched by God ,they will have troubles or agony fo their wicked ,,
    So relaxed ..
    As well Romans 1;-20 GOD is showing his existing by his miracles and works ,, punishments ,,
    That’s enough to control them from too much ,,
    But finally they will face death ,,
    In the light of God’s throne ,all what a ungodly enjoyed will appear to be a rotten chicken ,,not a a good meat ,,
    😁😁😁😂😂🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

  8. Thanks for covering Iran. The brave people of Kurdistan in Iran have shown unimaginable bravery that cannot be described. The entire country has had enough of this regime. More than 300 cities are rioting. South eastern Baluchestan province and Mazandaran northern province have had tens if not hundreds of casualties.

    I sincerely ask you to pay attention to your narrative, while Kurdistan is brave to its core, this is an Iranian tragedy, Kurd, Arab, Baluch, Persian, Mazani and all other Iranian ethnicities are in this together.

    Thank you

  9. HEAVEN OR HELL, YOU CHOOSE!
    Whoever _repents_ of all his sins and _calls_ on the *Name* of the *LORD,* will be saved. *He* who died on a cross for the sins of the world, _rose_ from the dead on the third day, and by *His* blood, whoever _repents_ and _believes,_ has full redemption of sins and eternal life.
    *Jesus Christ* is the way and the truth and the life, no one makes to the *Father* except through *Him!*
    Today is the day of your salvation, accept *Jesus* now and be saved, because you broke the law but *He* paid your fine with *His* life’s blood!

    For those with understanding: Matthew 24;40-41 will happen very soon, this is the sixth seal!

  10. One must multiply the official stats on population of Iranian born American voters by at least 4 or 5 times…to include their American born children and grandchildren and their friends who are voters now and for generations to come. I pray the Democratic Party stands with the revolutionaries in Iran to overthrow the anti-American Islamic Republic.God bless USA.

  11. This fight is in Iran and will be decided in Iran. As a matter of fact this uprising has united the whole of this nation of atleast six ethnic groups and nine languages. Stop echoing the Iranian regime’s excuses that it is a Kurdish minority problem financed by enemy.

  12. These men and women have learned that political morality must grow experience ,from the concrete human situations that need attention-Homeless people ,lack of health care , hungry children ,A toxic environment, family breakdown , violence on ourvstreets, domestic abuse ,abandoned economics , against women , young people at risk , jobless parents , those dying with AIDS, international disregard for human rights , victims of hate crimes , or the casualties of war – rather than from mere theoretical and ideological concerns .

  13. Kinda like saying 1000s of Russian men are fleeing Russian, but not the fight.
    Of course she’s fleeing the fight.
    And who could blame her!
