Jafar Panahi Says Iran Must ‘Initiate’ a ‘Responsive and Democratic Government’ Amid Escalating Israel-Iran Conflict
Jafar Panahi has launched an impassioned appeal for Iran to 'initiate' a 'responsive and democratic government' amid escalating Israel-Iran conflict.
Iranian director Jafar Panahi, who recently won the Cannes Palme d’Or for his anti-regime drama “ It Was Just an Accident,” has launched an impassioned appeal on Instagram that appears to push for Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei to be toppled amid escalating conflict with Israel. However, French President Emmanuel Macron said on Tuesday that he opposed bringing down the Iranian regime externally through violence and warned of the potentially destabilizing effect this could have across the Middle East. “The biggest mistake today would be to try to do a regime change in Iran through military means because that would lead to chaos,” Macron told reporters on the last day of the G7 summit in Canada, warning that “no one can say what comes next.”
