| This is an amazing story from Fox Business. | |
| Iran State Television sees at least two news anchors quit. | |
| At least two Iranian journalists at a state-owned media outlet reportedly resigned from their jobs, with one of them apologizing to viewers for the 13 years I told you lies. | |
| As Tehran continues to grapple with the fallout from protests stemming from a cover-up of its accidental downing of a Ukrainian airliner, TV anchor Jelare Jabadi addressed her viewers on an Instagram post that appears to have been deleted. | |
| It was very hard for me to believe that our people have been killed, the post read according to The Guardian. | |
| Forgive me that I got to know this late and forgive me for the 13 years I told you lies. | |
| Two other news anchors at the Islamic Republic of Iran broadcasting thanked their supporters in separate statements. | |
| Thank you for accepting me as anchor until today, said Zahra Khatami. | |
| I will never get back to TV. Forgive me. | |
| Fellow anchor Sabah Rad said she was leaving journalism after 21 years. | |
| Thank you for your support in all the years of my career, she said. | |
| I announced that after 21 years working in radio and TV, I cannot continue my work in the media. | |
| I cannot. | |
| Wow. | |
| That's a big deal. | |
| Do you realize how this president has changed the way in which Iran is viewed from a colossus on the march to a pathetic dictatorship? | |
| I had Caroline Glick on yesterday, one of the most important writers writing today. | |
| She's simply brilliant and She spoke about that this is a change in 41 years, Republican and Democrat, since 1979 and the Revolution. | |
| I don't know if I ever mentioned to you folks, I was in Tehran right before the Revolution. | |
| It was like, it was sort of, to be in Tehran at that time was to be in a major metropolis. | |
| The alphabet was different, but many of the people spoke English. | |
| It was a relaxing joy to be in Tehran. | |
| And here's the kicker. | |
| This is really the kicker. | |
| I flew from Tehran to Tel Aviv. | |
| And I flew on El Al, the Israeli airline. | |
| If there are five material items from my past I wish I had, that airline ticket is one of them. | |
| I would have laminated it and put it up in my home. | |
| Tehran, Tel Aviv, El Al Airlines. | |
| The Shah was so pro-Israel and pro-America. | |
| Poor Iranians. | |
| It's such an intelligent and advanced people living under these primitives, just primitives. | |
| By the way, talking about the Ayatollah, what is the name of that program that I watched? | |
| After my surgery, all I did is watch episodes with Larry David. | |
| What's it called again? | |
| Half of you are screaming at the radio, which is very painful for me. | |
| I'll get it in a moment. | |
| Anyway, the first time I watched it, curb your enthusiasm, the first time I watched it, it was on a plane. | |
| I almost never watch anything on a plane. | |
| I have no idea what prompted me to do so. | |
| I do a lot of work on planes. | |
| Anyway, it was Fatwa. | |
| If you were to watch one Larry David Curb Your Enthusiasm episode, I would recommend Fatwa. | |
| The absurdity is what I love. | |
| He made a musical. | |
| He spent years writing a musical called Fatwa. | |
| It's not exactly a happy topic. | |
| It is when a Muslim leader puts a death sentence on you. | |
| And he goes around on American TV and it gets tremendous attention. | |
| And then the Ayatollah. | |
| In Tehran, puts a fatwa on Larry David. | |
| And you have this scene, and it's perfectly, it is perfectly enacted, you must understand. | |
| They have a guy looking like Khamenei, talking to an audience. | |
| I mean, it is identical. | |
| There is no, you would believe it. |
