Today, May 12, we celebrate the birthday of Maryam Mirzakhani (1977–2017) - the first woman and first Iranian to win the Fields Medal.
Her groundbreaking work on Riemann surfaces and moduli spaces continues to inspire mathematicians worldwide.
May 12 is now International Women in Mathematics Day.
Breaking: Iran’s Regime Moves to Execute a Female Protester
Bita Hemmati, a young Iranian woman, is reportedly at imminent risk of execution by hanging alongside her husband.
She was arrested after taking part in the nationwide anti-regime protests in January, part of a wave of demonstrations demanding freedom and basic rights.
According to reports, Bita Hemmati is being held in Evin Prison in Tehran, a place long associated with political prisoners, torture, and forced confessions. Like many others, she has been denied due process and access to a fair trial.
Her “crime” is demanding FREEDOM.
In just one week, at least 11 men have already been executed.
Now, the regime is turning its machinery of death toward women.
Hundreds of women are currently imprisoned. Many are under torture. Many are facing long sentences. And now, execution.
Where are the voices that claim to defend women?
Where are Western feminists leaders?
Why are you silent. A massacre happened in Iran and many of you were silent and now your voice can save a life.
Say her name:
Bita Hemmati.
Nobel Laureate Dr. Shirin Ebadi will officially chair Crown Prince @PahlaviReza’s transitional justice committee. An important step towards bridge-building in the opposition. May this path be successful.
This kidnapping threat must be taken seriously. I received the same photos and the same threats before agents sent by the regime were arrested outside my home.
@Vahid is one of the most important Iranian voices on Telegram and X. He publishes videos sent by ordinary people inside Iran, videos that expose the Islamic Republic’s brutal reality: massacres, torture, prisons, and nationwide protests. Many international media outlets have relied on his reporting.
Now he is receiving serious threats.
He has been warned that he could be kidnapped just like Ruhollah Zam. When the Islamic Republic uses that name, everyone knows what it means: abduction, torture, and execution.
I know these threats are not empty.
Before armed agents sent by the regime were arrested outside my home in New York by the Federal Bureau of Investigation, I received hundreds of messages saying the same thing: “We will put you in a sack like Ruhollah Zam, take you back to Iran, and kill you.”
Those threats were real. The regime had already sent killers to American soil.
That is why I will always be grateful to the FBI agents who saved my life.
Today I hope U.S. authorities take the threats against Vahid just as seriously. In recent days, several Iranian journalists and political activists have received similar warnings.
The Islamic Republic has a long history of hunting its critics around the world. Ignoring these threats would be a dangerous mistake.

Dear Elon,
In these critical days, the people of Iran need internet access. Please help them stay connected as they struggle to reclaim their country from the rule of the mullahs. Stand with the Iranian people. Iran will not forget its friends.
Whether it was Mojtaba Khamenei or his IRGC handlers, the first statement from the current regime’s new leader confirms what the Iranian people have known all along: the Islamic Republic is incapable of change. Terror and repression are in its DNA. This latest statement promises only to continue the same insatiable bloodlust and chaos that has held our nation and the world hostage for decades.
By explicitly threatening our Arab neighbors with continued military strikes and doubling down on the regime’s proxy terror networks, the new Ayatollah sounds just like the old Ayatollah. We cannot appease or negotiate with a barbaric dictatorship that views the occupation of our nation and the destruction of its neighbors as a "divine" mandate.
It’s long past time to turn the page. Don’t throw this regime a lifeline. The only resolution to five decades of aggression is to end this regime once and for all.
Stand with the Iranian people in getting rid of this menace. Together, we can build a Middle East our children will be proud to inherit.

The Iranian Women's National Football Team is using sign language to communicate "help" to people in Australia.
They're being held hostage by Islamic Regime Officials in Australia.
This is a matter of life and death.
در #تهران هستم. حس عجیبی در شهر جاری است.
از جلوی دادگاه انقلاب و اوین رد شدم؛ همان جایی که سرنوشت زندگی من برای همیشه عوض شد…
در ذهنم مدام صداها برمیگشت: صدای بازپرس ثاراللهی، قاضی مقیسه، قاضی صلواتی.
روزهایی که از یک دانشجوی منتقد و دلسوز برای کشورم در اوج جوانی و عشق به میهن، تبدیل شدم به «مجرم خطرناک»؛ جاسوس، اقدام علیه امنیت ملی، توهین به رهبر، اجتماع و تبانی، ارتباط با رسانههای خارجی…
اتهامهایی که مثل پتک روی زندگیام فرود آمدند و همه چیز را ویران کردند.
همان جایی که با دستبند برده شدم.
همان جایی که مادرم پشت سرم جیغ میکشید و به او گفته بودند: «اعدام میشود.»
حالا… دیگر آن تصویر قبلی را نداشت.
به مادرم زنگ زدم.
همین که گوشی را برداشت، بغضم ترکید.
گفتم: «مامان… میدونی کجام؟
همونجا… همونجا که دست و پامو بوسیدی و گفتی نمیتونم داغتو ببینم…
گفتی به حرمت شیری که بهت دادم نکن…» جایی که از ۸۸ بارها تهدید شدم…
من در آن روزهای جهنمی غرق شده بودم.
مامانم آن طرف خط سکوت کرده بود.
و من فقط هقهق میکردم و روبهرویم ویرانی و سکوت.
یک بسیجی به شیشه زد: «حرکت کن.»
مبهوت پایم را روی گاز گذاشتم و راه افتادم.
در مسیر رانندگی چند بار ایستادم.
برای من، تقریباً در هر خیابان این شهر، ردپایی از تلخی جمهوری اسلامی مانده است؛
خاطرهای از ترس، تحقیر، بازجویی، دادگاه، یا انتظار پشت درهای زندان، هر خیابانش به جای نقطه امید جایی بر سرکوب تعبیه شده بود. بارها به خاطر حجاب تحقیر شدم! در همین خیابانها…
خدای من…
و با این حال، در دل همین شهر، زیر صدای آژیر و انفجار، حس عجیبی جریان دارد؛
انگار بسیاری از مردم در سکوت، در دل این #جنگ و ویرانی، به یک فهم مشترک رسیدهاند. تمام شد… یک جمله کوتاه و سالهای عمر همهما.
🚨 BREAKING: Exiled Crown Prince Reza Pahlavi says he is ready to lead Iran through a transition once the Islamic regime is gone. He says the Iranian people have asked him to take responsibility and he has accepted. The goal is an orderly transition, stabilize the country, restore normal relations with the world, and let Iranians decide their future through the ballot box.
President Trump’s decision to insist on unconditional surrender of the largest state sponsor of terrorism, the Iranian Regime, which has been pursuing nuclear weapons, funding terrorist proxies, building thousands of ballistic missiles with the hope of one day reaching America, and has so much American blood on its hands, is the right and only approach to end this Iranian nightmare.
The people of Iran should not be expected to live under the remnants of a weakened terrorist regime that has slaughtered over 32,000 of its own citizens. As in World War II, the evil of Nazi Germany and Imperial Japan had to be defeated for the world to ever know peace again. The same is true with the Iranian regime. They must be defeated.
I applaud President Trump for his steadfast leadership to achieve this goal. To the men and women involved in Operation Epic Fury: your righteous efforts will lead to the collapse of one of the most evil regimes in modern times. Godspeed.
Well done, President @realDonaldTrump.
خااااک عالم بر اون سرتون که فرصت و پولش رو داشتید رسما یه شهر مخفی زیر تهران واسه خودتون بسازید، ولی به عنوان «جنگطلبترین» کشور دنیا، یه دونه آژیر و پناهگاه واسه مردم نساختید.
#IranWar#IranIsraelWar
Why won’t the regime in Iran allow its people to communicate with the outside world, even amidst war?
Shouldn’t the voices of innocent civilians be heard at this time?
Are they afraid of what the people of Iran might communicate to world?

فرآیند دموکراتیک تعیین نظام آینده حکومت
شاهزاده رضا پهلوی در گفتوگو با برنامه ۶۰ دقیقه شبکه خبری سیبیاس بر چهار اصل اساسی وحدتبخش میان ایرانیان تأکید کردند.
هممیهنان عزیزم،
همانطور که در پیامم پس از هلاکت خامنهای تاکید کردم، هرگونه جانشینسازی برای او، از پیش شکست خورده است. هر نامی که معرفی شود، مجتبی باشد یا حسن، فاقد مشروعیت، و شریک کارنامه خونین این رژیم و رهبران جنایتکارش، خمینی و خامنهای خواهد بود.
رژیمِ در حال سقوط جمهوری اسلامی، هیچ مشروعیتی ندارد. تنها جایگزین مشروع این رژیم، سامانه گذار است که چارچوب آن از طریق کتابچه مرحله اضطراری پروژه شکوفایی ایران به اطلاع شما رسیده است و اجزای آن نیز به تدریج معرفی خواهد شد.
خطاب به همه کارگزاران پیشین و کنونی جمهوری اسلامی که دستشان به خون ملت آغشته نیست: به اراده ملت احترام بگذارید. بیدرنگ و بیخشونت قدرت را واگذار کنید؛ پیوستن خود به انقلاب شیروخورشید ملت ایران را اعلام کنید؛ و در گذار باثبات و امن ایران به یک دولت منتخب ملی سهیم شوید.
به جامعه جهانی میگویم: در کنار ملت ایران بایستید. نامشروع بودن جمهوری اسلامی را اعلام، و سامانه گذار را بهعنوان نماینده اراده ملت به رسمیت بشناسید.
پیروزی نزدیک است. ملت ایران آزاد خواهد شد و به یاد خواهد سپرد چه کسانی در دوران سختی در کنارش ایستادند.
پاینده ایران،
رضا پهلوی
