I'm Iranian. I've lived under the Islamic Republic for decades. I've seen how they ruined my country and took away our freedoms and every single right we had. They control what you can wear, what music you can listen to, how you behave in public, and even how men and women are allowed to interact. Women are forced to follow a dress code. Women can't even sing solo in public. Dancing can get you in trouble. Drinking alcohol is illegal. Having a private party with men and women together can get your home raided and everyone arrested. Relationships outside marriage are criminalized. Even what you can watch, listen to, say, and post online is subject to censorship. Social media platforms are blocked. You can be punished, imprisoned, or even executed for speaking out against the regime. Your own home isn't necessarily safe from their interference. Your private life isn't yours. Your freedom isn't yours. They want to dictate how you live, from the moment you wake up to the moment you go to sleep. This is the country I grew up in. This is what I experienced. They took so much from me that I was eventually forced to flee my own country. America, I'm terrified for you. I know exactly where this road leads. I've watched it. I lived it.

Muslims love democrats. It is obvious why!
Your current stupidity in the United States is exactly the same as the stupidity of Iranians in 1979! Be regretful very SOON!

PRO HAMAS = MENTALLY ILL No pills or therapy can help. Unfortunately, no cure.
🇩🇪 En Alemania, unos Policías cansados de recibir OFENSAS de una histérica activista pro Hamás, la capturaron y se la llevaron arrastrando a la patrulla para ser procesada, mientras sus cómplices gritaban para victimizarla. ¿Apoyas la intervención de los Policias?

US Central Command said it struck a submarine and ship maintenance facility at Iran’s Bandar Abbas Naval Base on Sunday using multiple one-way attack surface drones. Three Corsair unmanned vessels hit the port in the first combat use of sea drones by US forces, CENTCOM said, adding that the strikes degraded Iran’s ability to attack commercial shipping.

🇺🇸 POETICA COFFEE SHOP in Brooklyn has called Daniel Goldman, a "genocide enabler". They have also banned him from returning due to his Israel support. Whatever happened to their own “unconditional dignity” policy for customers!! #poeticacoffeeshop #antisemitism

Remember those days when Trump announced he had stopped the executions in Iran? For weeks now, dozens of people have been executed every single day. TACO

The person in the middle of the image is Sohrab Ahmadi, who travels to countries with JD Vance and advises him on Iran. This person was born in Iran and is married to a Chinese communist who immigrated to America. He is connected to all the elements of the regime. Both to the cleric of the Islamic Center of Michigan, and to the leader of the CodePink group. America is destroying itself from within @POTUS @seanhannity @FoxNews @WSJ
شخص وسط در تصویر سهراب احمدی است و با جی‌دی ونس به کشورها سفر می‌کند و در مورد ایران به او مشاوره می‌دهد. این شخص در ایران متولد شده و با یک کمونیست چینی که به آمریکا مهاجرت کرده ازدواج کرده. با تمامی اِلمان‌های رژیم در ارتباط است. هم با آخوند مرکز اسلامی میشیگان، هم با لیدر گروه کدپیتک. آمریکا خودش را دارد از درون نابود می‌کند.

Poetica coffee chain’s alleged owner @Parviziy who built his brand around “unconditional dignity” and “the sacred guest” was accusing Israel of “genocide” just 7 days after October 7. Before the ground invasion. While hundreds of hostages were still being held by Hamas. Now his café publicly bans a Jewish congressman for supporting Israel. This was never about coffee. It was never about hospitality. And it certainly was never about dignity. The mask just came off.

How can there be peace and security in the Middle East with this regime in #Iran when there have been mysterious deaths of Swiss diplomats in Iran, including Swiss diplomat Sylvie Brunner who was pushed from a 17th-floor balcony apartment in Tehran; a Swiss defense attaché collapsing in a Tehran hotel and later dying; and another employee of the Swiss embassy being stabbed and shot on the way to work?
Welcome to #Switzerland, H.E. Abbas @araghchi. At the Lake Lucerne Summit, we offer the framework for discussion and dialogue. In a challenging context, the relationship of trust between Switzerland and #Iran, reflected in our protecting power mandate, remains in the service of diplomacy and for #peace and #security in the #MiddleEast.

There is an old Jewish tale told in the Talmud about a master who sent his servant to buy for him fish in the market. The servant came back with a fish that was utterly rotten and smelled bad for his master. His master gave the servant three options: Eat the rotten fish, pay a fine, or be expelled from the city. The servant chose the first and began eating the rotten fish. Halfway through eating the rotten fish he just couldn't stomach it anymore so he asked to pay the fine. After he paid half the fine he realized he cannot afford it anymore and was therefore expelled from the city, thereby taking on all three punishments. That is what JD Vance did to himself by turning on Israel and his horrifying performance today in Switzerland.

🚨 “We are the ones who decide who is able to enter the Strait of Hormuz, not those suit-wearers in Tehran!” An armed forces member openly declared that control over the Strait of Hormuz rests with the military, not with politicians and negotiators in Tehran - an apparent reference widely believed to be aimed at figures such as Mohammad-Bagher Ghalibaf and Abbas Araghchi. This is the first time I’ve seen a video of this kind, where a member of the armed forces explicitly references “negotiators in Tehran” while asserting authority over a major strategic issue. Another reminder that the people negotiating policy and the people enforcing it may not be the same people - and that the real centers of power inside the Islamic Republic may lie elsewhere. Coming on the heels of the Nabavian scandal, the message is striking: ⚪ Hardliners are publicly attacking negotiators. ⚪ Regime insiders are being censored on state television. ⚪ Senior officials are resigning and facing legal action. ⚪ IRGC-linked figures are openly emphasizing who holds power on the ground. These episodes are fueling the perception of competing power centers within the Islamic Republic. The image of a unified regime speaking with one voice is becoming increasingly difficult to sustain.
🚨 A remarkable political scandal is unfolding inside the Islamic Republic. An influential hardline MP from Saeed Jalili’s anti-negotiation camp has gone on live state television and effectively accused Iran’s negotiators of disregarding Khamenei’s instructions during talks with the United States. According to Mahmoud Nabavian, the negotiations being pursued are “fundamentally different” from the conditions originally approved by Khamenei. Within hours: ⚪ State media announced legal action against Nabavian. ⚪ A senior IRIB official reportedly resigned. ⚪ Damage-control operations were launched across regime media. Think about what this means. If Nabavian is telling the truth, then either Iran’s negotiators ignored Khamenei’s directives, or powerful factions inside the regime are pursuing their own agenda. The biggest takeaway is that the Islamic Republic may be far less unified than it appears. Public accusations, resignations, censorship, and lawsuits are now erupting in the middle of sensitive negotiations with the United States. This is not the behavior of a regime confidently speaking with one voice. 🍿

MUST WATCH!! Full address by Ambassador @dannydanon yesterday at the UN. Not only did he push back against all the lies about Israel, its soldiers, its people, and the shameful blacklisting WITHOUT EVIDENCE of Israel alongside Hamas, ISIS, Al-Qaeda, and Boko Haram, but he also made sure to put UN's Vanessa Frazier in her place for interrupting his speech in violation of UN rules in an attempt to silence the truth and the facts.
Yesterday was the "International Day for the Elimination of Sexual Violence in Conflict." During Ambassador @dannydanon's address, Vanessa Frazier, Guterres’ Special Representative for Children and Armed Conflict and former UN Ambassador from Malta, tried to silence him in violation of UN rules for rightly pointing out how the UN, with the help of Pramila Patten and the rest of the UN "Experts," falsely added Israel to the UN's blacklist alongside Hamas, ISIS, Al-Qaeda, and Boko Haram without a shred of evidence.

😡 Another regime rent-for-hire foreigner who was physically aggressive toward Iranians and telling fans that "this Islamic Republic flag is Iran's real flag" isn't even Iranian and is a convicted rapist! His name is Ronald Dallator. Public records list his conviction for rape in concert by force or violence (California Penal Code 261(2)/264.1). You can't make this up: the regime relies on criminals and hired foreign thugs to intimidate real Iranians, both online and in person.
“I’ll kill you!” - a rent-a-foreigner Islamic Republic supporter threatens Iranian fans. The Islamic Republic not only uses foreign mercenaries to suppress and kill Iranians, it also brings them into stadiums to threaten and intimidate Iranian fans. Outside the stadium, this Pakistani supporter of the Islamic Republic was there provoking Iranian fans, hurling insults, making threats, and behaving aggressively. Funny how he claims Iranians “want to be white,” yet he tries so hard to present himself as Iranian and pass himself off as one. Who’s the one with the identity crisis?

If this picture makes you happy then sorry, we are not the same. I'm a day one Trump supporter. I have never wavered. I've been on the Iran portfolio for the better part of a decade. These people cannot be trusted. They are the very definition of evil. I can't believe this day has arrived where we are lifting oil sanctions and unfreezing billions hoping they change their behavior just months after these monsters killed +40,000 of their own unarmed people in cold blood. To my Iranian brothers and sisters - I am speechless but now I know how the Holocaust happened. The world knew Jews were being slaughtered but everyone looked the other way. Now the world is not just looking away, they are rewarding the Regime's war crimes.

Unconditional Surrender by America ? Iran State TV has officially declared victory over the United States showing 14 points of an agreed memorandum of peace deal between the United States and Islamic Republic of Iran. After reading all 14 points, you will get to know that Iran is largely saying the truth about its victory. Iran has become the new Vietnam for America. Iranian Mehr News Agency has published the 14 clauses of the MOU ⏺️ $12 billion of Iran's frozen funds to be released before negotiations begin, with another $12 billion during the 60-day final negotiation window. ⏺️ The U.S. and allies must also present reconstruction plans for Iran worth at least $300 billion reparations for the war imposed on Iran. ⏺️ Reduction of American soldiers presence in the region. ⏺️ Oil and petrochemical sanctions on Iran permanently suspended. ⏺️ Full American naval blockade to be lifted within 30 days. ⏺️ The U.S. commits to non-interference in Iranian affairs, withdrawal of forces from around Iran, and no new sanctions or force deployments. ⏺️ An immediate ceasefire is required on all fronts, including Lebanon. ⏺️ The Strait of Hormuz reopens within 30 days under new Iranian arrangements, not like completely free like pre war situation. ⏺️ Iran reaffirms its NPT commitment not to produce nuclear weapons. A 60-day window is set to negotiate a final deal covering nuclear issues. ⏺️ No restrictions on Iran's missile program and support for resistance groups. ⏺️ No final negotiations begin until the $12 billion is released, oil sanctions are suspended, and the blockade is lifted. ⏺️ A supervisory mechanism will oversee implementation, with any final agreement approved by UN Security Council resolution. ⏺️ Any Israeli aggression against Hamas, Houthis & Hezbollah give full rights to retaliate to Iran. ⏺️ Iran will not handover enriched uranium to any country or will destroy it but how it will be handled by Iran will be decided in future talk. As per you, who is the winner after reading these conditions of the ceasefire ?

Even the UN admits it now! A new UN report documents Hamas publicly executing, torturing, and maiming Palestinians in Gaza: blindfolded men shot in public squares, beatings with metal pipes, deliberately broken bones, and public punishments designed to spread fear. For years, many tried to portray Hamas as freedom fighters. The reality is much simpler: Hamas terrorizes Israelis and Palestinians alike.
