Journalist recounts visit to Iran: Khamenei's regime was sustained by

Journalist Artan Hoxha shared today an experience on the situation in Iran, from his first visit there in 2008.

Invited to A2 CNN, Hoxha said that the situation in the country reminded him of Albania in the early years after the fall of communism, when people were extremely suspicious due to the long regime and dogma.

"It reminded me of Albania before the 1990s. They were a very vigilant people with foreigners. They were very hospitable, but they reported anything suspicious they could see. We had a presence there, mostly students. They are a large population, a nation with history and culture, but the dogma that was there was radical and strong. They said that we do not want our wealth to be exploited by imperialists, Americans, Russians... But, I happened to be present at the execution. It was a Saturday and they announced it. They hanged 8 people. They hanged 4 as collaborators of Israel and these executions were done in public. It was a regime that, using dogma, was kept afloat. Iran today is the second country in the world for gas reserves and the third for oil reserves. It is no coincidence that the first country for oil reserves was Venezuela and Maduro ended up where he ended up. It is a country with extraordinary resources. This is what has made Iran so important", said journalist Artan Hoxha. /CNA
