O steadfast and freedom-loving people of Iran! I speak to you from a heart full of destruction, pain, and betrayal.

I am the voice of a woman who witnessed the devastation of her country. The destruction did not come from open enemies.

Instead, it came after being trapped by the deceptive smiles of the West and its false promises.

I warn you not to fall for the deceitful words and slogans of Western imperialists.

They once told my father, Colonel Gaddafi, ‘If you abandon your nuclear and missile programs, the doors of the world will open for you.’

My father, with good intentions and a desire for dialogue, chose the path of concessions.

But in the end, we saw how NATO’s bombs turned our land into rubble. Libya was drowned in blood, and its people were trapped in poverty, exile, and destruction.

My Iranian sisters and brothers, your courage, dignity, and resilience are evident despite sanctions. You stand strong against informants and economic warfare. This is proof of your nation’s honour and true freedom.

Giving concessions to the enemy brings nothing but destruction, division, and suffering. Negotiating with a wolf will not save the sheep. It will not bring lasting peace. It only sets the date for the next meal.

History has proven a powerful truth. Those who stood firm, from Cuba and Venezuela to North Korea and Palestine, remain alive. They are in the hearts of the world’s heroes. They became immortal in history with honour. And those who surrendered were reduced to ashes, their names forgotten.

Salute to the brave people of Iran!

Salute to the Iranian resistance!

Salute to global solidarity with the Palestinian people!

With love and compassion,

Aisha Gaddafi’
