I love football. But sadly the regime has turned it into a weapon against the Iranian people.
Let the Lion and Sun be seen in stadiums, outside them, wherever fans gather.
Remember those who should be here today.
Iran’s real national team is its people.
این حساب متعلقه به جانفدای میهن جاویدنام رضا رحمتی از یزد عزیز.
همسری عزیز برای من، پدری مهربان برای پسرکم، و فرزندی دلسوز برای مادر داغدارش.
شب 18 دی به همراه برادر کوچکترش در آریاشهر تهران به دست قصابان شیعه کشته و پیکرش دو هفته بعد تحویل شد.
این حساب دیگر آپدیت نخواهد شد.
I was pleased to be in Odessa for the Black Sea Security Forum to discuss the common enemy that Ukraine, Iran, and the free world face: the axis of chaos.
A sovereign Ukraine and a free Iran will replace chaos with peace for our regions and the world.
My keynote remarks:
🫶 Welcome back #Iran! Metrics show a further rise in connectivity as mobile networks and other segments are reconnected to the global internet:
• Filternet remains in place but can be worked around
• WhatsApp now restricted, requiring circumvention
• Some users still offline
Dear Mr. @realDonaldTrump
The regime in Iran is lying to you and your negotiators (period, stop!). Do not believe a word they say. I know you want to get out of this mess. All Americans want this unnecessary war to end. Keep in mind, as you have been told many times, Iran is still the leading state sponsor of terrorism (all anyone needs to say is Hezbollah, Hamas & Houthis, never mind IRGC-QF). None of these organizations are going away with this deal.
How about getting them to first publicly apologize for killing American Soldiers and U.S. Marines many times over (especially on this Memorial Day weekend). Yes, we are all sick of it.
And yes, the people of Iran must step up, but we need to signal to them, we will not concede their freedoms to the insane regime in Teheran. They deserve better. If we don’t, we will cause an entire population to be enslaved. For this, we have to smartly use our Middle East partners to support them along with our covert and clandestine operators. Trust me, if you support, this is very doable.
Anyway, I’m watching everything (like most of the world is) and admittedly I do not have all the information. But if we pay tribute to the regime to the tune of $25B, I’m concerned they’ll use it for nefarious purposes down the road.
No nukes in Iran may be a noble idea (an end goal for your administration) but the regime has blatantly lied to our faces before, why do you now believe they will tell you the truth?
Give it some thought. Get some out of the box solutions, and rethink your position. The art of the deal tells you to do that from time to time.
Now may be that time.

🗓️ Network data show #Iran's internet blackout is entering its 13th week after surpassing 2016 hours of digital isolation from the outside world.
Daily life for most Iranians is now shaped by the loss of opportunities and access to information others can reach in seconds.
It was never about ballistic missiles.
It was never about a nuclear bomb.
It was never about the Strait of Hormuz.
It was always about helping the people of Iran free themselves from this terrorist regime.
Stay the course @POTUS
I had a great conversation with Crown Prince Reza Pahlavi of Iran as he continues his relentless advocacy for the Iranian people and his continued resistance against the current regime.
The people of Iran have suffered the tyranny of the Islamic fundamentalist regime for nearly 50 years. Thank you, Prince @PahlaviReza, for standing with your people!
⌚️ #Iran's internet blackout has just entered its 84th day with international networks largely cut off for over 1992 hours.
Each passing hour widens social and economic divides as any contact with the outside world is gated by status, compliance and privilege.
بیش از ۸۲ روز است که رژیم جنایتکار جمهوری اسلامی ارتباط ایرانیان را با جهان قطع کرده تا روایت ساختگی خود را جایگزین صدای آنان کند.
وظیفه ما، ایرانیان خارج از کشور، این است که حقیقت را به جهان برسانیم و صدای هممیهنانی باشیم که دچار خاموشی اجباری شدهاند.

📢 Metrics show the internet blackout in #Iran has now entered its 83rd day with international networks largely barred for over 1968 hours. A free and open internet is central to the protection of life, liberty and public accountability.
📉 It's now the 82nd day of #Iran's digital blackout, with the country still largely cut off from the global internet after 1944 hours.
In an era when a disconnection lasting minutes would be a crisis, Iran continues to shatter records, destroying livelihoods and eroding rights.
✂️ The #Iran internet blackout is now in its 81st day after 1920 hours. Meanwhile, the regime is attempting to extend its digital chokehold internationally, demanding control over other countries' cables in the Strait of Hormuz and big tech compliance with Islamic Republic laws.
