Death sentence for joining making this video. Look at this video. What could possibly be more peaceful than this? Ali-Asghar Peyghambari simply closed his curtain shop and joined a bazaar strike protesting Iran’s devastating economic conditions. He filmed this peaceful act of defiance and posted it on Instagram. Now, the Islamic Republic has sentenced this young shopkeeper to death. This is what terrifies the regime: ordinary people who refuse to surrender their dignity, even when threatened. Watch this video. Share his name. Be his voice before it is too late. #StopExecutionsInIran

To those who say "it's her choice" I used to say the same thing about my own Hijab. I was covered head to toe. Even on the beach. Even with my male relatives. And when people challenged me, I said: this is my choice. You know why? Because the other option was burning in hell, hung by my hair for eternity. That's what they taught me since childhood. Yes, let me repeat it for you to just understand about our version of “freedom of choice.” I grew up in an Islamist culture that gave me two options. Cover yourself and go to heaven. Or don't cover, and be hanged by your hair and burned in hell. Like when someone puts a gun to your head and says "you can go left or right", technically, yes, that's a choice. I picked heaven. I called it freedom. And I believed it, because that's what happens when fear is all you've ever known. And if you think I shouldn't be telling you my story, I don't care. I really, genuinely, from the bottom of my heart, don't care. The women still living under that "choice"? I care about them. #LetUsTalk

Those broken ears? Years of dreams… sitting in a sham trial, waiting to be hanged. They hanged him without giving him the chance to say goodbye to his family. Hate the cruelty enough. Love these innocent lives enough to speak up. 💔 #Iran

I am terrified of this new Fatva: Mohammad-Bagher Kharazi, Secretary-General of Hezbollah Iran, openly calls for killing women over the hijab. He is one of Mojtaba Khamenei's closest associates, and his sister is married to Masoud Khamenei the son of Ali Khamenei. Listen to how he urges every Basiji and every morality police officer to return to the streets and assault unveiled women. One of the woman inside Iran told me, If threats, violence, and even murder could have forced us into submission, we would never have moved beyond the baggy manteaus and chin-strap headscarves of the 1980s. This is the true face of the Islamic Republic. And while the world keeps silent, they will keep beating us. They will keep imprisoning us. They will keep killing us.

Hey Mamdani, After my interviews on CBS, CNN, Fox News and NBC criticizing you, I hear you’re now claiming you condemned the massacre of 32,000 Iranians. Simple request: show the statement. I’m calling on the journalists and networks that interviewed me to investigate and show the public how often you actually condemned the Islamic Republic’s massacres. General criticism is easy. So don’t don’t show us a vague criticism. We need a clear and specific condemnation of the mass killing of Iranian protesters.

Just a few months ago, Ebrahim Raisi executed her son, Now, she’s dancing over his death in a helicopter crash. I told you Iranian women are wounded, but unbowed to their oppressors. My social media is flooded with videos of the family members of those killed by the President of the Islamic Republic, celebrating his death. #IranIsHappy #پژمان_فاتحی

Good morning from a “master criminal” to all of you! In my homeland of Iran, riding a bicycle and feeling the wind in your hair is a punishable crime for women. As a survivor of assassination plot by the same regime on U.S. soil, I truly appreciate and embrace this freedom. 💃🏾🌻

heartbreaking to watch, but please watch this to see how the Islamic Republic drags mothers and fathers to the gallows and force the families to watch the hanging of their beloved ones. Makes them stand there. Makes them wait, while their child is prepared. While the rope is placed around their neck. No last embrace. No final touch. Nothing. Just watch. Watch until the last breath. Watch until the Allahu Akbar rises over the square. That is the sound they use to kill our children. 💔💔

Hamas and Islamic Republic are terrorists, and they do not talk for the people of Iran or Palestine. The whole situation in Israel and Gaza is an incredible tragedy. While this is a proxy war by the Islamic Republic and its terrorist arm Quds Force and should be condemned in strongest terms, it is critical that Israel should do everything in its power to protect Palestinian civilians under the laws of armed conflict. Let’s us be honest: the crisis today is largely due to Hamas who took over Gaza in 2006 and has not allowed any elections since then. Gaza could have been another Dubai or Singapore. Instead, Hamas diverted funds to build tunnels and obtain rockets and weapons from the Islamic Republic of Iran, the world's biggest sponsor of terrorism, to wage war. The vast majority of Iranians don't support the Islamic Republic and are hostage to its soul destroying policies of the regime. The vast majority of Palestinians want peace, they want good jobs and decent education for their kids. They want a better life. That's not possible with Hamas leadership that takes its orders from the Islamist leaders in Tehran who want to export their vile revolution to take the world backwards to the sixth century. Hamas, like the Islamic Republic, is in the business of terrorism. Hamas doesn't care about Palestinians. Hamas knew exactly how Israel would respond to the brutal attack on its citizens on Oct. 7. Hamas is like ISIS. It must be destroyed.

Iran’s regime just sentenced a 22-year-old rapper to death. Not for murder. Not for terrorism. For slogans, dissent, for refusing to shut up. Simply for demanding freedom and protesting against oppression. His name is Mehnam Navab-Safavi. He was arrested, forced to confess, denied a real trial, and now faces execution. And somehow the international community still treats Iran’s rulers like difficult diplomats instead of what they are: executioners with embassies and good lobbyists in the West. In the past two weeks alone, at least 50 protesters have reportedly had death sentences issued, upheld, or carried out. So I call on all rappers, singers, celebrities who post ten slides about free speech, now please be his voice. Because this is free speech with a noose around its neck. Please use your platform and demand that Iran’s regime stop the execution of Mehnam Navab-Safavi. #SaveMehnamNavabSafavi #StopExecutionsInIran

This video has gone viral across Iranian social media because it captures the truth of today’s Iran: An elderly woman, standing alone, encourages people to join the protests, her voice rising as she chants “Death to Khamenei.” By the way, where is Khamenei.ir ? He always hides when protests spread across Iran. He hides when bombs are falling. That tells you everything. When the system’s head goes into hiding, the system is failing.

A few moments before the bullets. A brief crack in the internet blackout and this is what she chose to write: “I’m connected for just a moment and I only want to write: Woman, Life, Freedom. Forever.” Her name was Raha Bohlulipour, 19 years old, studied Italian in Tehran. Killed by security forces for the crime of demanding freedom. She once wrote: “I am a big fan of life.” For wanting a normal life, the Islamic Republic shot her in the lung and killed her on January 9. #IranMassacre #IranRevolution2026

Stop repeating the narrative of the Islamic Republic in the West about this brave Iranian wrestling champion who was executed by hanging in Iran. Watch this video. Saleh Mohammadi just wanted to be a champion. He had no lawyer, no fair trial, no free media coverage, no access to his family, not even a chance to say goodbye. What did he have? A forced confession after torture. To those saying “if you kill a police officer in America, they will shoot you” , you are helping the regime justify more executions. You are making their job easier in the West. Because this 19 year old wrestler He was not a criminal. His only crime was protesting and demanding freedom. You are putting the lives of other protesters at risk by repeating their narrative. Listen to his story. We have been in contact with his family. Many Iranian athletes and journalists have spoken to them. He was innocent. #IranMassacre

This is Iran today and this is how the morality police arrested a teenager for not wearing a hijab. Mahsa Zhina Amini was taken away like this, then killed. Where are those journalists who excitedly reported the cancellation of those morality police? #WomanLifeFreedom

This brave Iranian woman chased after a man who tried to forcibly veil her and hit him in the head to make him understand that he has no right to violate anyone’s right to choose or assault any woman’s body. There are some grammatical errors in the sentence. Here’s a corrected version: The reason the Islamic Republic wages war against women and sentences #ToomajSalehi to death is because they fear their own people. That’s why they terrorize people to quell societal anger.

“I can’t breathe” “I can’t breathe” crying schoolgirl is repeating this after being the target of chemical attack in her school in Tehran. If this was in the US or in Europe, what would have been the reaction of the world? We need the same support. Islamic Republic is using terror, tactic to drive girls out of streets and prevent them from removing their hijab and protesting against Islamic republic. I call on college and university students in the west to be your voice. #MahsaAmini‌

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. ✌️💪
