Steven Potter:
Do you fear continued military action and do you fear troops in Iran?

Ali Soltani:
You see, this regime cannot be overthrown by airstrikes, OK? You need people on the ground to fight these Basijs and militias and the IRGC and all the members of the suppressive forces. So U.S. — either what happens is that either U.S. or Israel have to put boots on the ground, which is, for a country like Iran, 90 million is a large country. It's very hard. Or we should rely on the people of Iran. We have an organized armed resistance inside Iran. Actually, a couple weeks ago, right before — a few days, three, four days before — the U.S. attacked the compound of Khamenei and killed the supreme leader, this armed opposition — 250 members of the armed opposition of the MEK, Mojahedin-e-Khalq — they attacked that compound. One hundred fifty of them, 100 of 'em unfortunately died or were arrested — their names have been given to United Nations Human Rights Organization, and then 150 of 'em turned back to their bases. What I'm saying is that, there is an organized resistance armed in Iran. We should help them rather than try to bring U.S. or Israeli troops on the ground. It would be very hard. It would be much easier for the Iranian people to do it that way because they know everything. They know who these people are, they know where they live, and they can fight them. So that would be the best solution for us.
