The loss of innocent lives at the hands of the oppressive Islamic Republic of Iran has been both tragic and heartbreaking.
These lives were taken simply because the people yearn for freedom, justice, and basic human rights—a fight that continues, despite the heavy cost.

Islamic Republic just executed Saleh Mohammadi, 19 year old Iranian wrestling champion, for the crime of participating in January protests in Iran!
When this regime is at its weakest, it takes revenge on the people.

🚨🚨🚨Israeli ambassador to Washington Yechiel Leiter told U.S. officials that Iran's supreme leader Ali Khamenei has been killed in the Israeli strike on his compound, a source with knowledge said
Pete Hegseth never commanded a unit or a company—let alone battalions, brigades or whole armies.
He does not have the experience to run a Department that includes 3 million servicemembers and civilians along with a budget of over $900 billion.
He is unqualified and dangerous.
McGovern: What the hell is going on here? And their cabinet picks so far? These are like beyond insane. Someone who paid hush money to cover up a sexual assault accusation, you know, to lead our military? Someone who says that tap water turns kids gay.
I am shocked. I just learned from the @FBI that two men were arrested yesterday in a new plot to kill me at Fairfield University, where I was scheduled to give a talk.
I also learned that the person assigned to assassinate @realDonaldTrump was also assigned to kill me on U.S. soil.
The alleged killers also went in front of my house in Brooklyn.
I call on the U.S. government and the future President of the United States to be tough on terror. The Islamic Republic understands only one language: the language of pressure.
I came to America to practice my First Amendment right to freedom of speech—I don’t want to die. I want to fight against tyranny, and I deserve to be safe. Thank you to law enforcement for protecting me, but I urge the U.S. government to protect the national security of America.

Trump defends his comments about grabbing women “by the pu$$y”:
“Historically, that’s true with stars…If you look over the last million years, I guess that’s been largely true…Unfortunately or fortunately.”

Devastating news. The Islamic Republic has executed Jamshid Sharmahd. This murderous regime must be held to account. My heart bleeds for his children @GazelleSharmahd & @ShayanSya who campaigned tirelessly to save him, as well as his beloved wife.
Surreal and shocking. In Iran, the judicial system has sentenced a woman to be raped in her own home, sending enforcers to ensure the crime is carried out.
💔😡
And because divorce is nearly impossible in some cases, the woman may be raped constantly by her own husband under the regime’s supervision.
This barbarism can’t be ignored.
The Islamic Republic of Iran punishes women for not covering their hair. Anyone who claims otherwise is either a liar or a sympathizer of the oppressive regime. These are just a few examples among hundreds who have lost their lives, been paralyzed, or lost their eyesight, all in the fight for basic freedoms.
Seeing women today in Iran without head coverings is a true act of courage and defiance against the mullahs' regime.
