There is a specific group of Iranians in the diaspora who have serious, substantive problems with Reza Pahlavi and his operation.

Some have been attacked by Pahlavi’s team publicly, repeatedly, and in some cases viciously enough to function as a warning to others.

And yet they say nothing.

This group includes think tank professionals, human rights activists, foreign policy experts, influencers, and Iranians who see themselves as informal or unofficial diplomats engaging with foreign officials, the media, and other relevant leaders.

Many of them will admit privately, and have to people like me, that they have serious problems with Reza Pahlavi, the people who surround him, and his viability as an opposition leader.

Their silence sometimes stems from fear.

They fear coordinated attacks, losing professional support, betting on the wrong horse, and being isolated within their own communities.

In other cases, it is driven by a kind of self-imposed obligation to remain “neutral,” based on the belief that neutrality helps preserve unity or dialogue.

These people are guided by the idea that staying quiet is what serious people do when engaging in complicated geopolitical matters.

Patriots do not go quiet to protect their access.

Your compatriots are taking on the regime with their bodies, and you are too scared or too foolish to take on an exiled former crown prince with your voice?

You have a moral obligation to protect the nation of Iran.

That obligation comes before any individual or any fear.

It is traitorous to remain silent.

They’re dragging her all over the internet because she isn’t afraid to speak about Zionist crimes..

She’s so unbothered by all their noise, I love it.

@USEmbassySA @BrentBozell South Africa has a problem with the US bombing an elementary school in Iran and killing about 160 children and their teachers.

South Africa has a problem with the US supplying military aid to a country that is committing unspeakable atrocities in the Middle East, including a genocide.

South Africa has a problem with the gun violence in America, which has claimed the lives of elementary school children. This violence is perpetrated by people who can buy a gun at a convenience store without checks and balances, because US law allows it.

South Africa has a problem with the reversal of Roe V Wade, which has denied women their reproductive rights and criminalised even medically recommended termination.

South Africa has a problem with voter suppression which denies mainly Black and poor voters their democratic rights.

South Africa has a problem with a US president initiating a rebellion against an election outcome. This included the storming of the Capitol, wherein the SON of THIS Ambassador to South Africa, participated and was convicted as a felon in that crime.

South Africa has a problem with Africa's debt crisis that has been created by US-led Western institutions.

South Africa has a problem with the UN Security Council and its resistance to reform. Resistance led mainly, by the USA.

There are MORE problems but I have to go do my nails.

Americans are who Americans think North Koreans are… EXTREMELY propagandized. Cut off from the rest of the world. Unaware how enslaved they are because they’re so cut off… That’s us, actually 😅

[Amir Bagheri @AmirBagheri]

Never in my life have I been this proud to be an Iranian-South African.

Two countries where their people are unbelievably resilient, and their leaders courageous and intelligent enough to never bow down to Zionists or imperialist.

Me realizing that Iran literally Defeated the US, Israel and 8 of their colonies all alone.

History will remember how Iran humbled two giants, two nuclear nations, all on its own

[nazanin @onapittance]

I remain in awe of what one nation can do against a global empire

This is why being anti Israel is not antisemitic

[Amir Bagheri @AmirBagheri]

Perfect example of propaganda by US, in order to whitewash its crimes against humanity, and its continuous failures both locally and globally.

They’re using public diplomacy to cover up their ugliness. And I can assure everyone that it won’t work.

[Suntosh Pillay @suntoshpillay]

Today I got an email about funding opportunities for South Africans to develop new projects linked to "the values the United States stands for".

I'm still laughing as I type this.
