One issue I truly hope will finally be correctly addressed post revolution, is the stray dog situation in Iran. Iran has absolutely beautiful dogs. They are gentle, affectionate, and remarkably calm. I’m the type of person who will run up to a dog and start petting it without hesitation, often forgetting that a dog could react aggressively, especially in Iran, where many of these poor animals have endured harsh lives. Yet I have never had a single negative experience with stray dogs in Iran. I have carried them, washed them, and cared for them, and not once did they show any sign of aggression. There are compassionate individuals trying to help where they can. Some people have built small informal networks with local butchers to collect leftover bones and scraps so they can at least feed the dogs. These efforts come from genuine care and personal sacrifice. But this is not a structural solution. It is only a bandage on a deep wound. The current way the government handles the stray population is cruel and inhumane. Dogs are captured, their mouths are taped shut, and they are left to slowly starve. At the same time, ordinary people face heavy restrictions on keeping dogs. Small dogs can sometimes be hidden inside apartments, but larger ones are nearly impossible to keep. If you walk your dog outside, you risk it being confiscated. Even inside your own home, a hostile neighbor can report you simply for owning a dog, and authorities can act on that complaint. This creates an environment where ownership is punished, while the real problem continues unchecked on the streets. What Iran needs is a humane, practical, and modern solution: 1. A nationwide Catch–Neuter–Vaccinate–Release (CNVR) program 2. Properly managed municipal shelters with medical standards 3. Public education and cultural change We have many urgente matters to attend to after this vile and evil regime falls.

To Muslims who have seen the footage of Iranians burning mosques over the past days. One point must be made clear. The Islamic Republic is not merely using religion as a political tool. It is using religion as physical cover to carry out mass murder. My friends were present the day the first mosque was burned on Friday. I asked them what exactly they burned, because it was unclear on the video. They anwsered: “A mosque. But they were shooting at people from the inside.” If you believe it is acceptable to use a mosque as a military position to fire on civilians, then my conversation with you ends here. If you do not, then you should stand with the people of Iran, who are fighting a regime that exploits your religion to commit crimes in its name. The late Shah of Iran, Mohammad Reza Pahlavi, was a devout Muslim. He survived multiple assassination attempts by Islamo-Marxists and other extremists. Those experiences brought him closer to God and to Islam. This may not resonate with everyone, but he remains the single historical figure I admire and respect most, and I will not speak against what he believed in. To my fellow Iranians, please read his book: 'Answer to History'. Today, it is his son, Reza Pahlavi, whom the people have chosen as their leader. Reza Pahlavi seeks internal peace for Iran. But internal peace is impossible without regional peace. A country does not exist in isolation. It is like buying a house, renovating it, and turning it into a beautiful place to live. If the neighbouring houses are crack dens, filled with violence and instability, your house will never truly be safe, nor will it hold its value. Under his leadership, religion will be separated from the state. Not erased. Separated. And an Iran without an antagonistic Islamic regime will bring regional stability. That stability will save the lives of millions of Muslims in the years to come.

I genuinely try to always stay polite and respectful. But truly: Fuck Ana Kasparian. Fuck Cenk Uygur. Fuck TYT. Fuck Dave Smith. Fuck Scott Horton. Fuck all these people who immediately point to “Mossad” and “the Zionists” the moment a subject rises above their intellectual capacity. Fuck all of them. Vile, illiterate, and genuinely evil human beings. Ig @ itstalia___

For those who do not know who Fereydoun Farrokhzad is. He was one of the most recognisable cultural figures of pre ’79 Iran. A TV host, showman, poet, and later a political dissident who refused to legitimise the Islamic Republic. From exile in Germany he used his programs and concerts to expose the regime’s mass executions, expose its leaders, and openly call for its removal. He had a real audience and real influence. That made him a priority target for the regime. He also openly rejected the MEK, condemned their Marxist-Islamist ideology, their involvement in the Islamic Revolution and their alliance with Saddam, and warned against replacing one form of authoritarianism with another. In August 1992 he was assassinated in his home in Bonn. His throat was cut and his body was stabbed many times. A method that later became synonymous with the regime’s chain murders of dissidents abroad. He was killed because he had a voice that reached inside Iran and he used it without fear.

“Khanevadegi” (meaning “Family” in Persian) is a collaborative rap piece by artists from across Iran’s 31 provinces, created to showcase the unity of the Iranian nation. The artists wear black T-shirts featuring a map of Iran, with each province marked to indicate the region they represent. Never doubt the unity of the nation of Iran. These recycled talking points are the weaponization of false narratives used to push agendas, whether from the Islamic Republic itself, foreign actors, illiterate sons of former terrorists, or groups that seek to break Iran for their own purposes. None of those voices are seen or heard in this video. When it comes to the unity of the Iranian nation, they do not matter.

Reza Pahlavi, for all intents and purposes, does not owe us anything. His family built Iran from zero. When I say zero, I mean zero. A weak, fragmented Qajar state, one in which women could not leave the house without a man. One in which Iran’s internal affairs were completely controlled by outsiders. One in which foreign armies seized our lands to feed their troops while half our population died of famine. A country without an army, without national infrastructure, without sovereignty over its own resources. And I can go on, and on, and on. In return, we Iranians repaid their blood, sweat, and tears with one of the greatest treacheries imaginable in modern history. His grandfather, arguably one of the greatest men in Iran’s history, his tomb was levelled to the ground. His father was forced to leave the country he loved more than anything in the world. One could say it was not his illness that killed him, but the knife we put in his back, the betrayal of a nation he had dedicated his life to. Reza Pahlavi’s friends and family who remained in Iran were murdered, one by one, at the hands of the regime WE enabled. An entire generation around him was hunted, imprisoned, executed, or driven into exile. His sister and brother, unable to bear the weight of exile and the destruction of everything they had known, took their own lives. Reza Pahlavi has the money. He could have chosen a quiet life, a life of comfort and distance, far from the insults, the threats, the endless character assassination. Instead of spending more than four decades on this path, he could have lived for himself and his family, free of this burden. Instead, he chose responsibility. He chose to stand for the very people who betrayed his family and became the cause of so much suffering in his life. What does he ask in return? Nothing. No throne has been demanded. No position imposed. He has asked only for a national process in which the Iranian people themselves decide their future. He has anchored that path in clear principles, precisely to prevent Iran from falling once again into chaos, fragmentation, and revenge. Yet even for that, he is criticised by so-called “Iran expert” podcasters who have never carried the weight of a nation on their shoulders, who say, “He does not want to lead,” “He is not your guy.” All while he and his family live under constant attacks, threats, and scrutiny on a daily basis. Despite all of that, his love for his people and his land overrides everything. He continues to fight for us. I want to say we have done nothing to deserve it, but the people of Iran have proven otherwise in these past weeks. They are no longer blinded by decades of propaganda. They are revisiting their history. They are correcting the lies they were raised with. They are openly calling his name in the streets, knowing the price that must be paid for it. They are awake to the mistakes of past generations, and they have reached out their hand to him. And he, despite everything, has taken that hand.

“Before Mahsa Amini, when Reza Pahlavi was posting on Twitter, he had 30, 40, maybe 18 likes?” If you’re going to lie, lie about something people can’t check. Just shows how credible this guys' words are.

Reza Pahlavi II has repeatedly spoken about the structural weaknesses of an overly centralized monarchy. He compares it to a game of chess. In chess, the king is the final piece. When the king falls, the game is finished. In a system where all power is concentrated in one individual, all responsibility and all blame are concentrated there as well. The most important figure inevitably becomes the most vulnerable point in the entire structure. He explains that after Reza Shah, the continuation of the monarchy was seen as the only realistic way to stabilize the country. Mohammad Reza Pahlavi was sent to study in Switzerland so he could return with modern ideas and democratic values. When he came back, he had to build modern institutions almost from scratch: schools, hospitals, infrastructure, the military, and a functioning state apparatus. Those responsibilities fell largely on his shoulders alone. Over time he became not only the main decision-maker, but also the main target for every failure and every grievance. That is exactly the problem Reza Pahlavi II highlights today. If a Shah is expected to be the central pillar of stability, is it logical or practical to place him at the most fragile point of the system at the same time? I genuinely wish that both supporters and critics of the Pahlavi Dynasty would take the time to listen to what these individuals have actually said, in the past and in the present, and understand the context in which they speak.

Any nation or politician pursuing appeasement with the Islamic Republic is positioning themselves against the Iranian people. We will move past this regime. It’s not a question of how. It’s a question of when. Everyone knows it. You can stand with us now and become a long-term regional partner, or you can leave us to fight alone. Just don’t expect us to forget where you stood when it mattered.
