مزدوران جمهوری اسلامی، سنگ مزار #کیان_پیرفلک را شکستند؛ همان‌طور که با گلوله جانش را گرفتند و با قساوت، دل‌های ما را دریدند. کیانی که در لالایی مادران، در بغض پدران و در فریاد کودکان، زنده‌تر از همیشه است. ای مزدور خامنه‌ای، ای ملعونِ سیاه‌ تاریخ، ای بزدل تاریکی! از سنگ مزار یک

Evacuation order for District 18 in Tehran. At 2:15am Iran time. On social media. When many people in Iran have been cut off from the internet. What a nightmare.

To Benjamin Netanyahu - בנימין נתניהו , You issued an evacuation warning at 2 a.m. hours before a strike, expecting civilians under near-total internet blackout to see it? Even in daylight, most Iranians can’t access uncensored information. Expecting midnight missile alerts to reach them is

We have Iranians in our diaspora who have taken paid trips to israel that coincided with their fervent support of Israel and its actions. Likewise, American citizens have attended Islamic Republic events in Iran. Disclosing this would help the public differentiate propaganda.

With this ceasefire must come support for the Iranian people. Without it, the regime will turn its existential fear into bloodshed. For lasting peace and stability in Iran and beyond, normalization must be tied to a transition to accountable, representative government.

Many from Tehran and Karaj have been sharing that the explosions are bigger and more frequent. A tense, anxiety riddled night in Iran as we wait to see what the clowns who run Israel, the Islamic Republic, and the U.S. are going to tweet next. It’s 3:45 am Tehran time.

Ah yes, somehow Iranians are supposed to rise up as they are evacuating their homes and sleeping on blankets outside as food is rationed. A quick search tells me you grew up in the USSR but clearly you haven’t experienced war. This is so unserious.
