Determination and Will for Change
Shafiei emphasized that the Iranian nation has always been oppressed, stating: "We are the most oppressed nation in the world, but we will not bow to force."

Challenges and Hopes
Shafiei also pointed out the challenges that Iranians face both inside and outside the country. He said: "Iran is a rich country with an ancient culture and talented people. We must show these realities to the world and instead of surrendering to pressures, we should strive to introduce our capabilities."
In response to the question of what actions he plans to take to change the image of Iran, he said: "I will continue my media and social activities and will use every opportunity for dialogue and exchange of ideas. This is a social responsibility that falls on all of us."
He also highlighted the importance of solidarity among Iranians abroad, stating: "We must help each other and be each other's voice. This is the only way we can create a positive image of Iran."
Despite numerous challenges, Shafiei remains hopeful for the future and believes that with continuous efforts and solidarity, positive changes can be achieved.
