00:00First of all, I'm Sissi Frako, I'm from Athens, Greece.
00:04I'm a political influencer and an activist, and I came here to debunk the propaganda against
00:12Iran, all the lies, all the hatred against a beautiful country and beautiful people.
00:21I was planning already to do this trip, but this opportunity came up, so I took it because,
00:29you know, I'm part of history now, I don't believe what I'm experiencing, I've been in the news.
00:40Before I started educating myself, when I started educating myself about the region, when the
00:46genocide started, I had this false idea that Ayatollah Khalid was a dictator, a tyrant,
00:56and because this is the only thing we hear, not only in my country, but in the national
01:03press.
01:03But after I educated myself, I saw a visionary, I saw like the rock of the resistance of the
01:12region.
01:12I saw a great socialist, and I saw, as I always say about him, he was the barrier between
01:22imperialism, colonialism, capitalism, and everything that is evil and governance in the world, and
01:33the common people.
01:34And what I saw when I came here, it's a beautiful, warm, and kind, and hospitable people, and a
01:45clean and organized country.
01:47I couldn't believe when I was about to come here, I thought that everywhere would be ruins,
01:54problems, and now I see a completely functioning city.
02:01After the funeral, I was so impressed that in one hour everything was clean, and it was so
02:09impressive.
02:11And I think that the sanctions did only good to Iran.
02:15the Iranian people.
02:19I think that now if you have educated people, and people with soul governing a country, they
02:30can turn bad to good.
02:32So yes.
02:34Aren't you afraid to lose your followers, or aren't you threatened by anything?
02:39Well, I lost all of my followers and my accounts when I started talking about Gaza.
02:44So now I'm used to it, and I'm dedicated to the cause.
02:49I think that the reason that I'm experiencing some of the best times of my life right now in
02:57Iran is because I love so my struggle, so everything I do, and everything that I have sacrificed for
03:07for supporting the resistance and the Palestinian cause, and how I am dedicated to educate my
03:17audience that I'm blessed to be here.
03:20I love blessing to be here.
03:22So no, I'm not afraid, because I see that I lose one thing, I gain ten things.
03:29In three days now, I gain 4,000 followers.
03:32In three days.
03:33Well, that's so much easier.
03:33I'm not afraid to make them do, but I don't even dare to.
