The Pain Is Still Fresh—Iranians Will Never Forget What Happened In January, 40,000 People Were Killed – Moinian

Middle East Institute associate fellow Dr. Nazee Moinian has spoken about the current situation in Iran and the condition of its people, raising concerns about instability and ongoing humanitarian challenges in the country.

In an interview aired by Fox News, she discussed recent developments in Iran, focusing on the political climate and the impact of unrest on civilians across the nation.

Moinian said, “Iranians will never forget what happened in January. 40,000 people were killed and are still missing. Iran is not in a good state. The president knows that. He has amassed huge leverage against the regime.”

Her remarks come amid continued international scrutiny of Iran’s internal situation, with analysts pointing to economic strain, political tensions, and social dissatisfaction as key factors shaping the country’s current reality. International observers argue that ongoing sanctions and regional pressures have further complicated the government’s ability to address domestic challenges effectively.

The situation has also drawn attention from global policy experts, who warn that prolonged instability in Iran could have wider implications for security and diplomacy across the Middle East. Many emphasize that internal unrest and external pressures are increasingly interconnected, influencing both governance and public sentiment.
