Mark Levin: “The People of Iran Want Their Freedom and Want Their Lives Back”

Harsh and controversial remarks by Mark Levin, an American conservative broadcaster and analyst, regarding the situation of the Iranian people and suppression by the Islamic Republic, have received widespread coverage in the media and social networks. In unprecedented comments, Levin accused the Iranian government of systematic suppression of its people, stating that millions of Iranians, after decades of pressure, imprisonment, torture, and deprivation, now have only one demand: freedom and the return of their lives.

Mark Levin, a recognized figure in American media and host of the program “Life, Liberty & Levin,” has once again made headlines with his sharp remarks about the Islamic Republic. In several programs and interviews, he criticized the situation of the Iranian people, the suppression of protesters, and widespread social and political restrictions, calling for greater Western support for the Iranian people.

In a portion of his remarks that has been rapidly reshared in cyberspace, Levin said: “The people of Iran want their freedom and want their lives back.”

He also referenced decades of suppression in Iran, speaking of arrests, torture, and executions of opponents, describing the situation of Iranian women and youth as “tragic.” According to him, Iran’s young generation desires a normal life, connection with the world, and enjoyment of basic freedoms, but faces pressure from security agencies and severe restrictions.

In his program, which recently discussed the Iranian people and received widespread social media feedback, he says: “I want to talk with you about people, the people of Iran. 92 million people, the vast majority of whom want to live in freedom.

I want to speak about humanity. About Judeo-Christian values and beliefs. Perhaps some of you went to church or synagogue today, or simply hold these moral beliefs. Perhaps you have learned them or understand them intuitively. That you know the difference between right and wrong, good and evil. So I want to speak about tens of millions of people in Iran who for 47 years have been treated like animals. People who have been imprisoned, tortured, assaulted, and tens of thousands of whom have been killed. People who have been told what kind of music they can or cannot listen to.

I want to speak about young women. Girls, sisters, and mothers in Iran who are forced to cover their heads and have no rights, let alone equal rights, and are subjected to the worst mistreatment.

I want to speak about youth. The youth of Iran who want to enjoy their youth, experience new and joyful things and learn, but are arrested by the secret police of the thousand-headed Rafidite Shia regime and mostly executed in secret without trial.

I want to speak about people in our own country, America, who call themselves liberals, human rights activists, or defenders of civil liberties, but attach the least importance to any of these. Red-card holders who don’t protest and won’t, because the red Democratic Party or the political movement they belong to, Marxists and Islamists, hate America and Israel so much that they prefer tens of thousands of more Iranians to die horrifically, as long as they don’t witness our country defeat this murderous bastard regime. They are not in the streets and are not marching. Where are the religious leaders? Some are, but where are the rest? I don’t hear their voices. Do you?

I want to speak about the silence of groups calling themselves feminists, who are so entangled with extreme and radical leftists that they haven’t said a single word about the widespread harassment and assault of women and girls by the thousand-headed Rafidite Shia regime. Nothing!

I want to speak about those who say the nuclear threat posed by the regime was not imminent, who say this is a war of choice, who say this is an illegal war, and so on.

These people don’t care even a fraction of an ounce that not only are they helping and soothing this terrible enemy, but they are encouraging this enemy to massacre, execute, rape, torture, and do the things that murderous regimes do.

Nothing, I repeat nothing honorable or just about any of these groups or these people of complete wickedness and destruction exists.

And regarding Americans who are either silent or worse, pretend that this genocide is not happening or, despite knowing it is occurring, callously allow it to pass. Shame on those who think this way. Shame on those who don’t protest. Shame on those who don’t act, especially those in positions to do something and don’t.

The people of Iran want their freedom and want their lives back. Remove the murderous and terrorist thousand-headed Rafidite regime and free the people of Iran and end any threat of nuclear development and ballistic missile heating in the future. Isn’t this a good thing for the noble people of Iran, for the people of America, for the people of the Middle East, and for the entire world? There may be thousands of reasons for not helping these people and not acting, and I have no doubt that these reasons have been lined up and presented. But there is one reason that surpasses all these; a reason that is more important than all of them: “Humanity. The will of mankind.”

We don’t have that excuse now. With modern technology, we know what is happening in that country. We have seen the massacre of ordinary people on the internet, and it is hard to watch. Let us not repeat that mistake.”

This American conservative broadcaster also repeatedly described the Islamic Republic as “a threat to the people of Iran and the region” in recent weeks, emphasizing that the Iranian government suppresses not only internal opponents but any critical voice. In an interview with Iran International, he even likened Iran to “one big suppression camp” and said the world should not remain indifferent to the situation of the people of this country.

Levin’s remarks come as human rights organizations continue to report ongoing arrests of civil activists, internet restrictions, pressure on women opposing mandatory hijab, and increased severe sentences against protesters in Iran. International organizations have repeatedly expressed concern about the situation of freedom of expression and human rights in Iran.

Levin has also called on the U.S. government in recent programs to take a harder stance against the Islamic Republic. He believes the Iranian government over the past four decades, through internal suppression and regional policies, has created widespread crises, and the Iranian people have been the main victims of this situation.

His remarks have certainly been met with various reactions. Some Iranian activists outside the country have welcomed the attention of American media to the situation of the Iranian people, but critics say some of Levin’s remarks have been overly emotional and tension-fueling. Nevertheless, many Iranian users on social networks have reshared portions of his remarks about the freedom of the Iranian people.
