Former Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said in a video posted to the NaysmeBahar YouTube channel on November 18, 2022 that the Iranian regime should “listen” to what the Iranian public has to say instead of expending so much effort in oppressing it, humiliating it, and implementing the “will of Satan”. He said that Iranian officials should get their information from reliable sources and that most Iranians are unhappy with the way the country is being run. He also said that there are corrupt “gangs” in Iran’s security agencies.
