Anti-war protesters gathered at ASU on Monday to condemn U.S. military action in Iran, while an Iranian-born student argues the U.S. is 'on the right side of history.'
A group of protesters gathered on the Arizona State University campus Monday to voice their disapproval of U.S. government actions involving Iran.Hasti Golmoradi, an Iranian-born student at ASU , shared a different perspective, arriving at the demonstration to speak about her concerns for her family still living in Iran.
"My family is there, all my family," Golmoradi said. "I'm from Iran, my family is in Iran. If anyone should be worried about the war, we should worry about the war, but we know there is no choice."Golmoradi said that the Iranian regime under the supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, was responsible for the killing of thousands of protesters earlier this year. She argued that recent U.S. actions are helpful for the Iranian people."The USA is on the right side of history right now because they are bringing peace for all the world," Golmoradi said.FOX10 asked the anti-war protesters for comment, but they declined to go on camera. Golmoradi criticized the anti-war protest, noting that she did not hear a similar outcry from the same groups when innocent Iranian lives were lost under the Ayatollah."I really thank the USA government," Golmoradi said. "They are the best people in this situation, but this is propaganda, because when the Islamic Republic was killing our people, where were they?"Over the weekend, the U.S. and Israel launched a joint attack on Iran, killing the supreme leaders, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, and several regime officials. As of March 2, six U.S. service members were confirmed by the U.S. military to have died in the Iranian operations. President Trump said the operations could last another four or five weeks, but is prepared "to go far longer than that."
