At midnight, the regime raided 18‑year‑old Melika Azizi’s home and dragged her to Lakan Prison in Rasht. She’s been beaten, cut off from her family, and sentenced to death. In court she looked the judge in the eye and shouted: “You’ve spilled the blood of so many young people, how can I stay silent? It doesn’t matter to me, kill me too.” This is a teenager whose “crime” was courage. We can’t let them execute her in silence. #MelikaAzizi #StopExecutionsInIran
Historian Bill Federer: "By 2030, there will be a majority Muslim population in Europe, and they'll just flat out vote in Sharia law."
"People forget Egypt was completely Christian for six centuries. It's not anymore. All of North Africa was completely Christian for six centuries. It's not anymore."
"Constantinople was the largest Christian city in the world, and the largest Christian church in the world for hundreds of years was the Hagia Sophia. And it got turned into a mosque."
"They want to do the same thing with the Vatican."

When Iran turned to Putin for help, it was refused, even though Russia called Iran an important ally and signed a strategic partnership agreement with it a year ago.
Russia used Iran as a tool to put pressure on the West and destabilize the region:
◾️ Iran supplied Russia with thousands of Shahed-136 attack drones and technology for their production on Russian territory under the name "Geran-2."
◾️ Iran supplied Russia with short-range ballistic missiles. The total value of contracts for the supply of missiles and drones at the beginning of 2023 was estimated at $1.75-3 billion.
◾️ In return, Russia supplied its own weapons to Iran, including air defense systems and aircraft, which, as we can see, did not help Tehran.
◾️ Russia helped Iran develop its nuclear program to increase instability in the region and strengthen the "anti-Western coalition."
◾️ Using its influence, Russia maintained its military bases in Syria and shared military expenses with Tehran.
◾️ Iran, which has been under sanctions for decades, helped Russia circumvent sanctions: the development of the North-South Transport Corridor through Iran allowed Russia to export goods bypassing European ports.
◾️ Iran helped Russia master methods of covert financial transactions and parallel imports.
Russia's main objective now is destabilization in the region, prolonging the war, driving up oil prices, and diverting financial and military aid away from Ukraine.
‼️ It is likely that Russians helped Iran develop a plan for strikes against the Persian Gulf countries.
It is only natural that Ukrainians are now being asked for help in defending against Iranian drones. Ukraine has unique experience in countering Shahed drones. And Ukraine knows very well what Russia is like, what methods it uses, and what its goals are.
What finally needs to be understood about Russia is that it has never been a reliable partner! Its partnership is rhetorical. Russia pursues exclusively its own interests, setting up, deceiving, and abandoning its so-called allies and violating the terms of agreements and deals.
Syria, Venezuela, and Iran are vivid examples of this.

Ukraine is taking the fight against Putin’s brutal invasion into the heart of Russia and degrading strategic air forces that threaten America’s national security. For our security and the security of the Free World, America must continue to stand with Ukraine until the Russian invasion is repelled and a just and lasting peace is achieved.🇺🇸🇺🇦 https://t.co/X9CUUXWPme
