Watching this interview, it’s clear the Vice President has very limited understanding of Iranians or Iran. He basically called the Iranian people “terrorists, desperate and hungry”. This is what happens when you take your cues from people like Trita Parsi instead of listening to Iranians themselves. Watch and decide for yourself…

Watching JD Vance try to sell this Iran deal, you’d never know what’s actually in it: a U.S. promise to look away if the regime massacres its own people again, sanctions relief with no real human‑rights leverage, and ballistic missiles effectively left in place while we pretend a recycled ‘we won’t build a bomb’ line is enough. If this is what he calls a good deal, he’s either not reading the fine print or is willing to trade away Iranian lives and long‑term U.S. security for an easy soundbite. @megynkelly @marklevinshow

The United States restored internet to Egypt in 2011. We have Starlink. We fund the circumvention tools. The capability is right there. So what is the problem? Why isn’t Washington putting real pressure on the companies that can connect Iran? Ninety million people are disconnected from the internet and from the world, and we are acting like there is nothing we can do. @marklevinshow @SenTomCotton

I’m an ordinary Iranian - American woman with a question I’m sure is on the mind of every Iranian right now. How are people supposed to rise up and determine their own destiny when they have no internet, no arms, and the regime’s repression apparatus is no longer being pressured? We restored Internet connection in Egypt in 2011. We have Starlink. The capability is already ours. Finish what you started. Connect the people. Then let them choose. @marklevinshow @LauraLoomer

Washington’s priority right now is clear: take Iran’s nuclear enrichment off the table and prevent a wider war. For Iranians, the priority is regime change and dismantling the machinery that has repressed us for 45 years. Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf is not a symbol of that change. He is a former IRGC commander and security chief with a long record in crushing dissent, now posting gibberish about “vibe‑trading digital oil” while he fronts for the same apparatus. You cannot use the same system that beat students in the streets to deliver freedom for those same people, no matter how you dress it up. @marklevinshow @LauraLoomer @marcorubio @SenMullin @LindseyGrahamSC

This is October 7th all over again. The Iranian regime creates the crisis, closes the Strait of Hormuz, and then begs the world to focus on “America attacking our infrastructure.” They want the strike, they want the images, they are even putting children on bridges and around key sites as human shields so that if anything happens, the world sees dead and wounded kids instead of the regime’s aggression. They want to flip public opinion the same way Hamas did once the bombs started falling. This is October 7th all over again. The same playbook. The same gaslighting. @POTUS @LindseyGrahamSC @marcorubio
