Christian Iranian-American artist destroys the regime one mural at a time

“The Quad” with guest Hooman Khalili

This week on “The Quad,” Fleur Hassan-Nahoum and Emily Schrader are joined by a friend of the show, Iranian-American artist Hooman Khalili.

Hear how Hooman’s mother managed to smuggle him out of the Islamic Republic to find freedom in the United States.

Hooman is actively building bridges and bringing down the regime through revolutionary art, and is currently in Israel to unveil his 18th mural, calling attention to the Iranian struggle against the regime’s oppression.

“When journalists make these requests, they’re really made on behalf of the public, not to bury the issue and respond 11 months later,” Randy Mastro, a former deputy New York City mayor, told JNS.
“Under any Republican administration, Israelis are never going to be sanctioned for simply advocating against aid to Hamas or advocating against illegal Palestinian construction,” Eugene Kontorovich, a law professor, told JNS.
The USAID Inspector General’s office is “also working to prevent Hamas-linked staff from jumping to other aid organizations operating in Gaza,” a senior Trump admin official told JNS.
“Regardless of how it is ultimately classified, incidents like this send shockwaves through the Jewish community,” Rabbi Noah Farkas of Jewish Federation Los Angeles told JNS.
Prosecutors said the man caused damage to both facilities before sending texts boasting about the vandalism.
Despite Israeli objections to previously reported terms, the official said Washington is confident that all U.S. allies “will get on board” with the emerging agreement.
