Breaking: The same morality police whose enforcement of compulsory hijab led to the killing Mahsa Amini in 2022 are back on the streets of Iran. This video was filmed at one of the entrances to Tehran’s Grand Bazaar. Hijab enforcers are blocking a woman from entering simply because she refuses to cover her hair. But watch what happens next : An Iranian man confronts the enforcers and stands beside the woman, defending her right to choose. This is what solidarity looks like. Iranian women have fought too hard and sacrificed too much to be forced back into submission. They are overcoming fear, one act of defiance at a time. Be our voice. Stand with the women of Iran who refuse to go backward. Woman. Life. Freedom.💔✌️

Hey @ZohranMamdani, see the broken brakes. Citi Bikes are falling apart. Maybe fix the things that are actually putting New Yorkers’ lives at risk. Oh busy trying to arrest Netanyahu? I have the names of the men in Iran executing children and some are headed to New York.

این کل فلسفهی جمهوری اسلامی است در مورد حجاب؛ اگر زنی حجابش را رعایت نکند، باعث تحریک مرد میشود، پس مرد چون دارای غریزه است حق دارد به او تجاوز کند! ویدیوی این سگهای نازنین را ببینید که یادگرفته اند در برابر تحریک غریزهشان مقاومت کنند. این سگها آموختهاند که اگر چیزی اشتهای آنها را تحریک کرد تا زمانی که اجازه نداشته باشند حق رفتن به سمت آن و خوردنش را ندارند. چطور است که در جمهوری اسلامی این مسلمانانی که ادعایشان سقف آسمان را سوراخ کرده است، در برابر غرایز و تمایلات خود از یک سگ هم کمتر میشوند و به محض تحریک شدن باید به سمت عامل تحریک خود حمله ور شوند و قادر به کنترل تمایلات و غرایز خود نیستند؟ هیچ توهینی بالاتر از این به مسلمانان شیعه ساکن در ایران نیست که زنانشان باید خود را سرتاپا بپوشانند تا مردان مسلمان و خداترس، دست به تعرض و تجاوز جنسی نزنند.

WATCH: Former University of Arkansas political science professor Shirin Saeidi is seen in a disturbing video telling Iranian human rights activist Ladan Bazargan that she will travel to Iran, find the grave of Bazargan’s brother Bijan, executed by the Islamic Republic dance on his grave, film it, and send the video to his sister. Let that sink in. Just a few months ago, she was a professor at an American university, threatening the sister of a man executed by the Iranian regime. This is why American and European universities need to start asking serious questions about who they put in front of students. Universities exist to educate young people, not to provide prestige and platforms to people who bring the language of authoritarian intimidation onto Western campuses. Iranian families have heard this language from the Islamic Republic for decades. They should not have to hear it from academics in America. I stand with Lawdan Bazargan. Thousands of Iranians stand with her. You can leave Iran. You can enter Western academia. But if you bring the language of executioners with you, we will expose it.

Hello Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, while you smiled in a hijab at a New York event, I was in Federal Court facing the 4th hitman hired by the Islamic Republic to assassinate me, for campaigning for Iranian women to have the same freedom you performed for a photo op. Will you come to court with me in August when I face the 5th hitman? Or does solidarity only work when it doesn't offend the Islamic regime? You wore hijab voluntarily in New York. Women are killed in Iran for taking it off. You are the very woman who, at every opportunity, protests against violence against women, decries gender segregation, and champions "inclusion." Yet here you stand, smiling and wearing a hijab, at an event in New York, in the heart of the West, where men and women are strictly separated. To me and millions of Iranian women, this does not look like a choice. It is no longer "My body, my choice," but rather "My body for votes." They who claim to fight for women's self-determination in the name of feminism voluntarily embrace an ideology that mandates our women cover their hair simply because they are women. They enjoy the prosperity, freedom, and privileges of the Western world, where they may live as autonomous individuals , yet they simultaneously accept that other women should not be afforded the same rights. #LetUsTalk

In Iran, a student harassed by her university’s morality police over her “improper” hijab didn’t back down. She turned her body into a protest, stripping to her underwear and marching through campus—defying a regime that constantly controls women’s bodies. Her act is a powerful reminder of Iranian women’s fight for freedom. Yes we use our bodies like weapons to fight back a regime that kills women for showing their hair. This happened at Tehran’s Science and Research University She has since been arrested by the authorities. Be her voice. #WomanLifeFreedom

Check out this threatening statement by a cleric in Iran. As more women walk the streets across Iran without hijab, his response is a threat. He says if women have the freedom to choose their clothes, men should have the freedom to rape or sexually assault them. That is incitement to sexual violence. I call on democratic governments to impose Magnitsky sanctions or arrest warrant on this cleric and other Islamists who incite violence against women. Let there be consequences for normalizing rape.

Before the Islamic Republic of Iran hanged Majid Adineh, they gave him one last chance to speak to his family and his final message to his mother, he exposed the“confession” broadcast by the regime. Majid was arrested during Iran’s January uprising and accused of killing security forces. No independent lawyer. No access to the media. Just a forced confession, and then the gallows. They silenced him while he was alive. His final message exposed what they tried to bury. #StopExecutionsInIran

After years of being banned from entering a stadium in my own country, for no crime other than being a woman, this is how I walked in. This was the World Cup FIFA 2026 between England and Panama but for me, it was beyond that. You have to be a woman from Iran or Afghanistan to truly understand this emotion. For whom this simple act, walking into a stadium, moving with joy, showing my hair, sitting next to men, was not just forbidden. I was beaten for it. Imprisoned for it. Humiliated for it. Exiled for it. And even in exile, I became a target for multiple assassination plots. And now people lecture me: "Don't politicize football." I have a question: which part of my body hasn't already been politicized by the Islamic Republic? My hair? My voice? My seat in a stadium? They turned our entire existence into a political battlefield. Every inch of a woman was a crime scene under their law. And now I'm supposed to just sit back, eat a hot dog, and enjoy the game? I did enjoy the game. England won. But walking through those gates, that was the real victory.

A woman cuts her hair at her sister’s funeral in #Iran, because the regime shot her sister in the head. Let me be clear with Western female politicians, especially those in leadership positions in Europe: Do not cut your hair in symbolic solidarity with Iranian women. Cut your ties with our killers. Believe me cutting your hair for Instagram solidarity, doesn’t scare dictators. It doesn’t save lives. It just makes you feel better. Stop legitimizing our terrorist regime. Her name was Melika Dastyab. She was 21, a musician, economics student and she was dead by security forces while her sister stood next to her. That’s not a hashtag. That’s a crime against humanity.

Shocking ….After I went on CBS and exposed Khamenei's staged funeral, I received over 50,000 comments from the Islamic Republic's cyber army on my instagram. I checked their profiles. These are not bots. These are real people threatening to kidnap me, butcher me, and paying a bounty for anyone who chops my head off. These are the supporters of the “Supreme Leader” of the Islamic Republic who cry for the death of a dictator. And what is the reason of their anger? This regime spends millions on lobbyists to normalize the Islamic Republic in Western media. When one woman goes on mainstream media, right after their leader's death and speaks the truth, and echoes the voices of millions inside Iran, they lose their minds. Because the truth terrifies them. This is also how it works: first they harass you online. Then they send killers to your door. They did it to Iranian journalist Rohullh Zam. First aid threaten him on line, even some of the opposition join the Online attack against him, then they kidnapped him from France to Iran, then they hanged him. The Islamic CBS Republic is proud of it’s act of terrorism and publicly talk about kidnapping and killing their opponents. Yes, the Islamic Republic doesn't care if you're left or right. Republican or Democrat. They want to silence us all. My answer to all the new death threats: I will not bow to my killers. I will not bow to my oppressors. I will keep echoing the voice of millions of Iranians, against this terrorist regime, for as long as I breathe. ✌️💪

In the middle of a war, the Islamic Republic still finds time to flog this young women for music. Anita Papist, a young Iranian singer, has been sentenced to 74 lashes. Her crime? Singing and uploading her video on Instagram. The regime confiscated her passport. Blocked her phone. Now they want to silence her voice. This is called gender apartheid. A total apartheid against women. Be her voice

When you Westerners visit Iran, the Islamic regime say: “Our country, our rules.” Wear the hijab. Cover your hair. No handshakes. But when they come to the West, somehow it’s still their rules. Cover the nude statues. Hide the wine. Tone down your traditions. Don’t offend Islam. Watch my conversation with Jake Tapper 🦅 to see why the regime is now asking America to respect Islamic values on American soil.

It breaks my heart to see the streets of Afghanistan emptied of women. These Iranian tourists are stunned by their absence from public life. This is not Afghan culture. Afghanistan’s culture is full of women: their voices, faces, art, work, and presence. Erasing women is Taliban culture. A country without women in its streets is not “tradition.” It is gender apartheid.

Since yesterday, people keep asking me the same question: How can someone be hanged for opening a door? I want you to see the answer with your own eyes. Two Iranian protesters. Both killed in front of cameras for showing compassion. One opened a door when protesters came running security forces right behind them, armed. He let them in. Then he pushed against that same door with everything he had, trying to keep the security forces out. They forced it open. And they killed him right there. The other had a wounded protester on his shoulder, carrying him through the streets to safety. That was enough. Empty hands. No weapons. Just human beings doing what human beings do, protecting each other. The Islamic Republic calls this a crime worthy of death. That is the Iran the world needs to see. The Islamic republic is terrorist not the people of Iran. #StopExecutionInIran 💔

They call It Islamophobia we call it…👇 In Iran I was told if I don’t wear hijab, I get kicked out from school, I get jailed, lashes, beaten up & kicked out from my country. In the West I’m told, sharing these stories will cause Islamophobia. #LetUsTalk

Watch his face. An Iranian judge, smiling, as he recalls the final moments of a man he sentenced to death. He remembers the prisoner's last wish: one phone call to his family. The line was busy. The wish was denied. He tells this story with pride. The people of Iran are held hostage by sick, dangerous men who call themselves the law. #IranMassacre
