Assal, Sudi and Roozbeh live in Los Angeles in the heart of the largest Iranian diaspora. Whether Democrat or Republican, they all have one thing in common: they were born in Iran and fled over thirty years ago. Today they are all critical of the Iranian government.

    The Iranians are the most civilized & intelligent people in the Middle East. Even their language is sweet to hear just like honey on the lips of their poets & philosophers. Time to free them from the mad mullah regime!!!

    Iranians are mostly Persian. In LA they are mostly Persian Jewish or Atheist, and in Iran Zoroastrianism has influenced the culture as much as any other religion. Don't talk about things you don't understand.@@samhan1929

    The Iranians living in exile, especially in Los Angeles, are one of the reasons that the movements in Iran don't reach their goal. Since they want to jump on the bandwagon and put their agenda out front, It scares Iranians inside the country. Most Iranians do not like Pahlavi, MEK, or Masih, who are just lobbing for funds.

    You’re just a clueless American who per usual doesn’t know anything about foreign affairs so he’s butthurt that his tax dollars might have to pay in order to hold up this whole empire. I would never wish this upon you, but if immigrants from actual Muslim countries, instead of Persian people moved into LA and advocated for US to compromise with all these terrorist entities, you wouldn’t have been happy either, because that crowd clearly doesn’t want the best for you or this country.
