CBS News’ producer in Iran, to see a war with Israel, Trump’s action and an uncertain future

Tehran – Seyed Rahim Bathaei has eyes and ears of CBS news for a long time Pus. For 16 years, he has helped regular Iranians to apply our audience to the regular Iranians.

For all these years, the Iranian society is divided between the people of the Islamic Republic and those who do not do theocratic rulers of the Islamic Republic. After the destructive war with Israel and 12 days, CBS news saw the level of national unity before.

“Iran is an ancient country with an ancient civilization, is more than 5,000 years. They want to protect him,” Bathaei said his counterpart Iranians. “They say:” We are the nation. We have a national identity. Do not smash – do not insult our pride and this deep culture. “

For Bathaei, a military collision between the archives of the Middle East felt inevitable for a while.

“I’ve been waiting for it.” “Iran has this strong belief in supporting this powerful confidence in this strong belief, and this would be when no one will happen, but this will go directly to the will instead of the wars of the will. Conspiracy, hidden operationsand on the Iranian side, the things called today fight against Israel Iran’s proxy groups. Thus, it was very inevitable that both countries came to this hot end. “

Supported by the close ally of the United States, Israel can be a military power to reduce the government led by Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. But Bathaei says such a move – which President Trump Allegations that the person in person Within 12 days of the war, it would be serious about Iran’s borders.

“It would be a disaster. We have already seen what happened in Libya. Iraq is a great example for us. This is a disaster for the region.” “It will be a failed state where terrorism can be.”

This threat can no longer feel inevitable and the ceasefire is a broker between Iran and Israel, Bathaei – a journalist in Iran for more than 35 years in Iran – it is still struggling to find optimism.

“I think we are going to the darker things,” he says. “I’m not a false, but instinctism tells me, yes, we go to the darker things. But I will be strong.”

Something in the war with Israel surprised Surprise Bathaei: President Trump has ordered US warplanes to join the bombing of Iran’s nuclear facilities.

“President Trump was full of surprises,” he says. “I didn’t think that he could go so much.”

“I do not think that the Iranian leadership is ready or do not believe that the United States can attack Iran at this level,” Bathaei added.

Now worried that the United States can attack Iran again.

Solution, Bathaei, considers for both sides to sit down and talk.

“They don’t talk to each other.

The peace request to the peace and all that many people voiced in Iran, and I hope that Tehran is heard by leaders in Tel Aviv and Washington.
