If you're watching this, I am dead: Iran man makes video appeal to Trump, kills self
India Today
An Iranian man reportedly took his own life after posting a video urging US President Donald Trump and Western governments not to negotiate with Tehran. He claimed that the Khamenei regime was responsible for at least 40,000 deaths in Iran, and that any deal would be a betrayal of the protestors.
An Iranian man from the country's southern port city of Bushehr has reportedly taken his own life after releasing a video message urging US President Donald Trump and Western governments not to pursue any diplomatic agreement with Iran's ruling establishment, according to reports by opposition-linked media outlets and regional publications, Iran International.
The man, identified by Iranian media and activists as Pouria Hamidi, recorded a roughly 10-minute video in English that went viral over the weekend. In the recording, he pleaded to US President Donald Trump, saying he hoped to draw international attention to what he described as a deadly crackdown on protests in Iran and calling for foreign intervention against the country's leadership.
The clerical regime of Ayatollah Khamenei brutally suppressed anti-government protests in Iran in January. Reports suggest that thousands of people, including women and children, had been killed in the crackdown.
"If you’re watching this, then I’m not around any more," he said at the start of the video, adding that he was speaking to raise awareness about a massacre carried out by Iranian authorities during recent unrest. "More than 40,000 people died, killed, massacred. More than Russia and Ukraine and more than Israel and Palestine."

Addressing US leaders directly, Hamidi urged them to abandon diplomacy with Tehran, saying any agreement would "betray all those people who died." "So please," he said. "I beg you, do whatever you can to stop this deal."
