Iran Expert: I ‘Don’t Buy the Idea that all Iranians Are [Now] United’

RUSH EXCERPT:

SADJADPOUR: “Gratuitously destroying Iran’s cultural sites is such incredibly destructive and counter-productive thing to do. Iran is one of the world’s oldest nations. This is something Iranians take great pride in their ancient history. If you’re trying to counter shia radicalism of the Iranian regime, the best way to do that is by trying to promote the idea of persian nationalism. So President Trump threatening to destroy Iranian cultural sites would truly be the one thing that would unite all Iranians against him. I actually don’t buy the idea that all Iranians are united now after the assassination after Qasem Soleimani. I think Qasem Soleimani was a polarizing figure. There’s some folks in Iran who passionately support him. Others don’t support him. Destroying Iranian cultural sites would truly unite all Iranians against Trump and the United States.”
