EXCLUSIVE: “The People Are Happy!” – Heroic Christian Convert Who Fled IRGC Returns to Iran to Topple Evil Regime
Ali Majd, a Christian convert and anti-regime influencer, fled Iran and took refuge among the Kurds a few weeks ago after learning that the IRGC was coming for him.
Now, he is heading back to Iran on a mission to help his country and his people free themselves from the regime that has ruled the country since the Islamic Revolution.
In an interview from the field, he told The Gateway Pundit, “What’s happening in Iran right now is not just about me, it’s about all the Iranians. All the Persians are so happy because this is the only way we can get freedom,” said Ali.
In Iran, on top of all the other forms of repression and rights denied to its citizens, converting to Christianity is punishable by death. Ali kept his religion secret and operated his gym while quietly encouraging members to go with him to pray in the mountains.
The regime eventually shut down his gym. When he asked why, officials said, “You have long hair. That is not allowed.” Around that time, anti-regime protests began, and Ali joined them.
The government responded with violence. Ali said there was only one way to change the regime, which was to protest, and that they did so repeatedly.
“We came to the streets so many times, maybe four protests, maybe five protests. The majority of people came to the streets, and the government killed all of them.”
He took a somber tone and asked, “So how can we make a change in Iran? We don’t have a way. You come to the streets, asking for your rights, asking for freedom, and it is so easy for them. They will kill you so easily, like you are not a human, like you are a fruit, like you are a rock. They just shoot you. I lost so many of my friends, the best ones.”
However, the U.S.-Israeli strikes on Iran have brought hope to the anti-regime movement. “The people, and me as an Iranian, I am happy, and the other Iranians are happy, because your government is killing evil inside my country. This is how we see the situation, the Iranians.”
He went on to talk about the hard work ahead and how the Iranian people themselves will have to do most of the fighting and dying.
“I think it’s going to take a long time, but it will help a lot. So much destruction will happen, but this is the only way that we can get freedom back. We will rebuild our country once more without any IRGC, without any dictatorship, any tyranny like the Islamic Republic of Iran. Maybe more than anything, I haven’t met one Iranian who is sad about the operations against Iran. We are all happy. We feel free after 50 years of oppression in Iran.”
The U.S. and Israeli strikes, in his estimation, “will help a lot.” He said the United States is “doing the best thing for us,” and that, after the strikes, Persians now have a real chance to fight for their freedom.
“Before the United States started attacking, they didn’t have a chance,” he said. “But now we have a chance. Now we can fight with that enemy, because the United States beat them so hard.”
He added that the regime is “so weak right now,” whereas before it had been “so strong, so powerful.”
He cautioned that the fight will take time, possibly “one year, two years,” because the struggle is not only against the government but also against its supporters.
Those supporters, he explained, “live inside people,” and some are armed, while ordinary people are not, making change more difficult.
Still, he insisted there is no alternative. “This is the best way. There is no other way, brother. This is the only way,” he said, adding that freedom may require sacrifice. “Maybe we have to pay some blood for our freedom. Why not? Like every nation on the planet earth.”
Speaking personally, he said he is willing to risk his life for freedom and would do so again. “Life without freedom is nothing. That means nothing,” he said.
He emphasized that they must continue to fight and expressed gratitude for the role of the United States and Israel, saying they would “owe our freedom to the United States… and also the Jewish people, the Israelis. They help us a lot.”
While he was in Kurdistan, Ali attended a Christian church for the first time in his life. Before that, back in Iran, he had prayed in secret. He said he had only dreamed of being in a church, surrounded by other believers, praying together.
Describing his first experience, he said, “That was amazing. That was like a miracle for me.” He explained that, as someone without a pastor and living under constant threat from the IRGC, it had once seemed impossible. Leaving Iran, reaching another country, and finding a church felt, in his words, “like a miracle for me.”
In Iran, he had been reading a Bible that he kept hidden, and it appears he drew strength from the story of David. He said something inside him gave him the courage to “pick a stone,” explaining that when you trust God, He will protect you.
He reiterated that the Iranian people appreciate the support of the United States and Israel, as well as the support of the Kurds, but said they are prepared to fight by any means possible, even with stones against the IRGC’s guns.
“I feel so courageous right now. I don’t fear anything,” he said. “God shows me His miracles in my path. I can pick up a stone and fight against an army. I believe that God will stop the bullets. He shows me He can do that.”
Ironically, Ali realizes that he and his people not only have to overcome the IRGC but must also contend with political uncertainty in the U.S. He said they worry about the possibility of a deal between the United States and Iran and are praying that the regime will be finished during the current operations.
“We just worry about a deal between the United States and Iran,” he said. “We are just praying for the regime to fall.” He added that they are also concerned about support from China and Russia and the possibility that pressure could push U.S. politicians, including President Trump, toward an agreement with Tehran.
