“If you’re watching this, I’m not around anymore. Over 40,000 people died, killed, massacred. More than Russia and Ukraine war and more than Israel and Palestine,” he said, adding that he was making the video to share the truth about the crackdown on protesters.
In the 10-minute video, Hamidi then directly addresses the United States and other Western countries, calling for a foreign intervention.

His video was released just before the leaders of the US and Iran met in Oman to discuss denuclearization. In his video, he spoke out against reaching a deal with the Khamenei government, adding that a deal would be “a betrayal of those who died fighting for Iran”.
“So please,” he said. “I beg you, do whatever you can to close this deal.”
“Attacking Iran is the only hope we have right now,” he said, adding, “We cannot fight this regime alone. Our people need foreign intervention.”
Although the entire message was recorded in English, he switched to Farsi at the end to call for support.
“We Iranians are lonely people and have no one, so please support each other. Long live Iran,” Hamidi said.
