The Islamic Republic forces Iran's champions to leave their homeland against their will and compete under the flags of other nations in international competitions like the #Olympics. This regime even attempts political exploitation of the competition between two Iranian athletes, two friends, where, like any other sporting contest, there are winners and losers. Yet the regime nonetheless tries to pit Iranian against Iranian. I wish Nahid Kiyani victory and a gold medal in the final and I also hope Kimiya Alizadeh can replicate her valuable bronze medal from the Rio Olympics. But regardless of the outcome, both Nahid and Kimiya are winners. The loser is the vile and evil Islamic Republic. I know that one day, Iranian athletes will again proudly and freely compete under the national flag of Iran in the Olympics and, with the support of a nation, bring Iran honor.
