TPUSA Shares Old Video ‘If You Get Seriously…’ Charlie Kirk’s Thoughts on Iran Resurface Watch

Kirk said in the video, “How much do you really know about Iran? Persia was once a great power, and then Iran fell into the worst possible situation. What’s interesting is that there was the Shah of Iran, and then the Shah was replaced by Mossadegh. Mossadegh was democratically elected.”

“Now, to be fair, the US and UK overthrew Mossadegh and then we reinstalled the Shah. Bad decisions, which led to the Iranian revolution and radical Islam taking over. Look at these pictures of what Iran used to be like,” he added.

Kirk went on to praise Persians as “wonderful people,” adding that some of his closest friends are Persians.

He further said, “We should have a heart for the Persian people to try and have a better future. Regime change is hard to talk about. I actually don’t like talking about regime change. It’s complicated, but understand that the future could be brighter for the Iranian people. Just look at these pictures, how beautiful Iran used to be, how beautiful Tehran used to be. It’s easy to sit in a Western armchair and say, oh, Israel is terrible.”

“Well, you have the right to free speech in the West and a lot of the rights that Iran used to have,” he added. “If you really want to truly protect human rights, you should want to make Iran a Western country again.”
