He said the Iranian government is having major domestic troubles following its decision to cut subsidies on consumer products, causing inflation and prompting it to turn cities into armed camps to avoid a popular backlash.
他说,在伊朗政府决定减少对消费品的补贴后,随即便引发了一些重大的国内问题,如通货膨胀。为了防止民众出现过激反应,他们不得不加强这个国家的武装应对力量。
He argued that the government needs to scare its people to cope with the situation and that hanging a man accused of being a Mossad agent, even though no one is sure of the claim, is a simple act that can be justified as patriotism.
他说,为了应对当前形势,政府还需要对其民众施加一定威慑力。对这名被指控是以色列摩萨德情报机构的特工实施绞刑的举动可以视为一种爱国主义的表现,即使没有人能证实这一指控是否真实。
