‪#‎SupportIranDeal‬


My name is Hamze Ghalebi.
I was an adviser to the former prime minister of Iran and the head of his youth presidential campaign as reformist candidate. I was arrested in 2009.
As a political prisoner, I was a victim of human rights violations. I was also a victim of the economic sanctions that the U.S. Government has imposed on my country.
The US and Iran have a long history of distrust and our relationship has been one based on retaliation. This has been going on for half a century, and it has to stop.
As a pro-democracy activist and a young entrepreneur, I support the Iran deal. This is a unique opportunity for us to work together for peace - we may not get another one.
