Iran鈥檚 monarchist opposition鈥檚 support for 鈥渓iberation鈥 by invasion proved to be a nightmare for ordinary people, says Iranian American socialist feminist Frieda Afary in an interview with Alternative Viewpoint鈥檚 Farooq Sulehria.

It took the popular uprisings in Iraq and Lebanon, following聽the earlier uprisings in Sudan and Algeria this year, for the Iranian masses,聽especially unemployed and student youth, to gain the courage to go out into the streets in large numbers again. For the first time since the December 2017鈥揓anuary 2018 uprising, they are mobilising to call for an end to the Islamic Republic.
