Iranian citizens speaking to Channel 10 TV say that as long as the ayatollah regime controls Iran, there will be no peace with Israel.
“They are Israel’s enemy,” one man tells the interviewer. “But not the people, only the government.”
Another citizen, Sheila, says she believes that “until the end of Rouhani’s term they will only talk and stretch these negotiations.” Sheila says she is pessimistic that “peace will come in our time.”
A third man, Jassem, says both Iran and the US share vast economic interests, and without going into details, adds that “claims that Iran and the US are enemies are just for show.”
