Sam Asghari has some thoughts on Britney Spears getting arrested on suspicion of DUI ... but he's being very careful how he chooses his words.
Sam was a recent guest on "Piers Morgan Uncensored" to mostly talk about America's current war with his native country Iran ... but, of course, he was asked about the hot water his ex-wife got into last week.
As you can see in the clip ... Sam said he saw similarities in the way women in his country's society are oppressed and the way BS has been oppressed -- specifically by the media.
And just like he did on Fox News last week, after her arrest ... Sam said Brit made a mistake and can come back from it. What she needs more than anything is the media to backoff.

'90 Day Fiancé' Eric & Leida Future Baby Plans Unclear ... After Baby Alisa's Death
Eric Rosenbrook says he and wife Leida Margaretha are taking things one day at a time after the heartbreaking death of their baby daughter, and they're not rushing into any big family decisions ... TMZ has learned.
The "90 Day Fiancé" star tells us when it comes to whether they'll try for another child, they haven't made that call yet. The couple lost their daughter, Alisa Eleanor Rosenbrook, in July 2025 after she was taken off life support, and Eric says they're still grieving.
As we previously reported ... Eric is also fighting back against the medical examiner's ruling that labeled Alisa's death "non-accidental." He tells us he and Leida have hired a private medical examiner to review the autopsy and claims their expert believes the original exam was poorly performed.
Eric claims key steps were allegedly skipped, and the report failed to clearly determine the age of a fracture referenced in the investigation. He adds that their expert believes one injury could have occurred during Alisa's C-section birth about five weeks before her death. He also claims a rib fracture noted in the report may have happened during CPR efforts.
We broke the story ... Eric avoided jail in his operating under the influence case amid his fight over his late child’s autopsy. Court docs show he pleaded no contest, two other charges were dismissed, and he was ordered to pay $968 in fines.
