News Topical, Digital Desk : Amid the ongoing tensions between Iran and the US, an Iranian man has allegedly committed suicide. He posted a video on social media urging US President Donald Trump not to make any deals with the Iranian regime.
In the 10-minute, 44-second video, Pouria Hamidi said his appeal was aimed at drawing attention to the deadly crackdown on protests in Iran and also called for foreign intervention to bring the Iranian regime to justice.
What was said in the video?
"If you are watching this, I am no more," Hamidi, a resident of Iran's southern port city of Bushehr, said in a video that has gone viral on social media. "More than 40,000 people were killed, there was genocide, more than the Russia-Ukraine war and more than the Israel-Palestine war," he said in the video posted on his YouTube channel 'PoorY X' on February 5.
This appeal to the Trump administration
Hamidi captioned his video, "This is my sacrifice. Please, free my country." In the video, recorded in English, Hamidi directly addressed the US leadership, urging them to pursue any diplomatic agreement with Tehran. He said any agreement with the regime of Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei would be a betrayal of all those who died.
'US attack is the only hope'
He said, "So please, I beg you. Do whatever you can to stop this deal." Hamidi said that US President Trump told Iranians to keep protesting, and we did. We trusted him. He added, "The US attacking Iran is our only hope right now. We cannot fight this government alone. Our people need foreign intervention."
"You have no idea how desperate our people are right now," the Iranian man said. "I mean, I can't eat myself. I can't sleep. I can't even cry because it's so funny to be born in a place that has no future. But I had hope that after all this, the people of my country would finally have a future."
