Ali Nouri was 17 when Iran regime killed him. This is his last message to his mother: "Mom, I'm leaving, but I will always be by your side. If you see a purple butterfly, that's me. If you see clouds in the sky, that's me. If a flower falls at your feet, that's me too."

I joined CNN's Kate Bolduan to discuss field updates from Iran and analysis of the regime's military and security response. Iranians have received a first chance in many generations to reclaim their motherland. We won't miss this chance.

Iranian here. I have spent 16 years fighting the Islamic Republic. I have bled in Iran. I have buried loved ones in Iran. Owen, here, is a brat who does not even speak Persian, knows nothing about Iran, and yet has the audacity to lecture us. Unhinged self-centred tankie!

I moved to the United States two years ago. My greatest culture shock has been discovering how much hate some Americans hold for this great nation. Told Rob Schmitt on NEWSMAX.

Many friends are asking, "Why no uprising in Iran?" President Trump has clearly told Iranians: "Stay sheltered. Don't leave your home. It's very dangerous outside. Bombs will be dropping everywhere. When we are finished, take over your government. It will be yours to take."

Notes on 3rd Khamenei video: - A Eurasian collared dove can be heard in background. The bird is common in Iran. Might mean the video was recorded on ground level. - like 2nd video, low quality is noticeable. (No digital devices allowed?) - people speaking in background. (Rushed?)

Thousands of volunteers have self-organized into small, decentralized operational cells across Iran, Reza Pahlavi revealed yesterday. My two cents on i24NEWS English. Many of us have never held a gun in our lives, but have other abilities useful in the final battle for Iran.

As a former BBC journalist, I used to look up to lyse doucet. Describing state-organized rallies as a jolly "family festival" after the regime slaughtered tens of thousands, including many children and parents, is misguided and tone deaf, to put it softly.

"You can't get a good deal with the regime in Iran. You either kill them all or force them into accepting humiliating surrender," I told Elizabeth Vargas on NewsNation last night.

Over the past 24 hours, Iran online spaces have been flooded with pro-regime and "anti-war" rhetoric. Wonder why? While cutting 90m Iranians off the internet, the regime "has provided resources to people who can impose our voice on the world," says regime spokesperson.

"They killed our children again. But we are 80 million Iranians. Kill us. If only one is left of us, she will dance on your dirty grave." This is Pejaman's mom. The regime killed her son during the 2019 uprising.

Mohammad here masquerades as a media personality. He even sometimes takes a jab at Khamenei because who isn’t by now? But his message and work is designed to preserve the Islamic Republic. Do you see any difference between his and Khamenei’s message?
