A Finnish resident and supporter of the Pahlavi dynasty, Shabnam Nikbakhsh, has expressed skepticism regarding recent negotiations between Donald Trump and Iran. Nikbakhsh doubts the talks signal a complete withdrawal of Trump’s support for Iranian protestors opposing the Islamist regime. Many Iranian opposition members fear a potential deal between Trump and Iran could divert international attention from the ongoing unrest within the country. Trump previously pledged support for Iranian protestors should the government open fire on them. Following this pledge, estimates suggest tens of thousands have died at the hands of the Iranian government. Nikbakhsh’s concerns reflect a broader anxiety among dissidents that their struggle may be compromised by political maneuvering. The situation highlights the delicate balance between diplomatic efforts and support for human rights movements.
