Interviewer: A reporter of the Weekly Magazine
Question: [You said the struggle will be peaceful, but why has it gone beyond these limits and turned into destructive activities?]
Answer: The struggles started peacefully by the people, but it turned violent by the Shah, and that provoked the people. Besides, most of these devastations have been and still are caused by the Shah's agents. People only hit the corruption centers, because they are demanding a just government.
Q: [Do you believe that the military pulled out of the cities on Sunday by the order of the Shah, so that all of this would happen and become a good reason for establishing a military government in the future?]
A: That day, most of the fires were set by the system, and people only destroyed the houses of prostitution and exploitation.
Q: [What will happen to Iran if the Shah left? Will Iran be released from the American influence?]
A: In my opinion, if the Shah leaves, Iran will become a good Iran, God willing. The superpowers' influence in Iran will come to an end, and Iran will belong to the Iranians, and for the present, all Iranian forces will be used to repair what the Shah has ruined.
