Iranian pop icon Googoosh calls for urgent U.S. action amid mounting deaths in Iran

Iranian pop icon Googoosh urged U.S. President Donald Trump to take urgent action, warning thousands have died amid escalating unrest in Iran.

Googoosh, the renowned Iranian singer and cultural icon, has urged U.S. President Donald Trump to take immediate action to support the people of Iran, warning that thousands have been killed in recent days.

In an open letter sent from Los Angeles on Monday, Googoosh described what she called the dire conditions facing ordinary Iranians and appealed for urgent international support for the country’s youth and wider population.

She said decades of hardship had left many Iranians struggling with poverty, power outages, water shortages, and strict social limitations, while basic needs were often neglected by authorities.

Googoosh called on the United States to work with exiled opposition figure Reza Pahlavi to take swift and effective action against what she described as crimes against humanity in Iran.

In her letter, the artist expressed hope that Washington could, for the first time in nearly five decades, stand firmly with the Iranian people and help rebuild the historic relationship between the two nations.

Googoosh left Iran following the 1979 Islamic Revolution, joining a wave of artists who went into exile as cultural restrictions tightened. She later lived in France before settling in the United States, where she resumed her artistic career.

Protests and unrest in Iran have drawn growing attention from the international community, with rights groups reporting high casualties and widespread repression amid economic strain and political tensions.

Googoosh’s appeal adds to mounting pressure from prominent figures in the Iranian diaspora, highlighting calls for stronger international action as the crisis inside Iran deepens.
