Despair of the Iranian people represented one of the arguments in favor of the legitimacy of the American attack on February 28.
- But what about after more than two months of war and as Washington must negotiate with Tehran?
- “Iranians are disappointed to see the United States negotiating with their oppressors,” says Sara Safari, co-founder of the Azadi Women’s Collective, in an interview with LCI.
Protests against the Iranian regime were brutally suppressed, resulting in up to 50,000 deaths, according to sources. The despair of the residents was one of the arguments in favor of the legitimacy of the American attack, launched in conjunction with Israel on February 28.
Civilians have since lost their lives in bombings. The Trump administration must now negotiate with the mullahs. Will this change the Iranian public opinion?
“Iranians inside the country are disappointed to see that negotiations are still being pursued with their oppressors and with this terrorist regime,” says Sara Safari, co-founder of the Azadi Women’s Collective, in an interview with LCI.
She adds, “The residents know better than anyone the regime and are well aware that they will not back down, neither on nuclear nor ballistic capabilities. For them, these negotiations are a smokescreen.”

According to Sara Safari, military action may be the only solution to shape a future for the Iranian people and help them “take back the streets.” So far, the only negotiation session, held a month ago in Islamabad, has not yielded results.
