What do you know about the regime in Iran?

What do you know about the regime in Iran?

By Tarif Youssef Agha

What do you know about the regime in Iran?

A gang that inspired its name from Satan

If betrayal could be personalized, it would be in them

And if spite is missing, you find it in Tehran

If misfortune has a face, it should be theirs

Bats and crows will, for sure, give up their reputation to them

Wherever they go, they divide the Arabs

In Iraq, Bahrain, Yemen and Lebanon

But for Syria, they want to swallow it

They want to add it to their real estate

Iran, Israel and Russia make the axis of evil

They (the Iranians) are the tail and Israel is the head of the serpent

They colonized us, the Russians took our (Mediterranean) coast

And Israel, before that, occupied our Golan Heights

Every one of them has a project in our Homeland

And our people are given to that project as a sacrifice

While the whole world is divided between the blind or those who pretends to be

And between those who smell like a skunk

But also between nations who are helpless

And leaders who are tough only on their own people

But no, those clergy leaders of Iran will soon be disappointed

The land of Syria is forbidden to both, invaders and rats

The Syrian revolution came just in time to uncover their secret

And to announce that it is time for them to leave, now
