CONFIRMED VIDEO: Iranian MP Alikhani Vocally Calling the Election ‘Rigged’ in Parliament

This video has been called a fake multiple times – yet it is not. Everyone points to the date at the bottom and says it’s 21 years old. The date underneath is NOT March 03, 1988.

Iran’s regime is not chosen by Iranian people. They kill and torture us and we are all in a very big prison named Iran.”
