I refuse to describe Iran as a victim. It is not. It is one of the most influential and strong-minded nations on Earth.
Like Russia and China in Euro Asia and in Asia, like Venezuela, Cuba and before the coup, Bolivia, Iran is spreading hope and revolutionary optimism in its entire part of the world. And it is an extremely wounded part of the world, where hope is absent, but desperately needed.
- Andre Vltchek
Badak Merah's 'The Message for Humanity by Andre Vltchek' series presents his collection of essays written on Iran to prove, as the title suggests, how powerful and determined Iran is as a Socialist, internationalist country, and at the same time, demonstrates through his years of collaboration with Iranian intellectuals, why the world needs Iran to combat Western imperialism.
