“The protests by women in Iran were spurred in part by the death of Mahsa Amini, a 22-year-old Kurdish women killed in police custody after being arrested for not covering her hair properly. In a recent speech, Iran’s supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, called the protests a ‘bitter incident’ and blamed the US and Israel. Come on, man. You can’t blame the US and Israel for everything. This is Iranians protesting what the Iranian government is doing to them. It’s not about America or Israel. I bet this dude comes out of the bathroom at a party like, ‘looks like Israel clogged up your toilet, huh?’” —Trevor Noah
“Secondly, can I just say how every single day I’m continually impressed by the bravery and the tenacity of the women and girls in Iran. Because remember, they are risking their lives protesting a brutal regime. Which I know for a fact I wouldn’t have the guts to do. I won’t lie. Like once my mom thought it was a Friday when it was actually a Saturday, and I was so scared to incur her wrath that I just went to school.” —Trevor Noah
