A long time ago, I warned my fellow Iranian Americans on the left that if your ideology is stronger than your love for Iran, then shame on you. Today, as a Republican, I have to say the same thing about my own side. What President Trump has signed here is not strength; it is a staggering betrayal of the Iranian people and a lifeline to a criminal regime. It rewards the Islamic Republic while our people are being jailed, tortured, and executed, and it tells every dictator in the region that Washington will always find a way to look the other way. As Iranians, we completely reject this weak and disgraceful agreement and the cowardice behind it; it does not speak for us, and it certainly does not stand with the people of Iran @marklevinshow@LauraLoomer
This is just the gift that keeps on giving…
I would not brag about this if I were @POTUS I’m not sure anyone has told you this, but the NCRI/MEK are one of the most hated groups among Iranians, including many who despise the Islamic Republic. For nearly half a century the regime has used them as the ultimate boogeyman to scare people away from rising up, that’s how toxic their name is. These are the same people who stood with Saddam against Iran, and that history is not forgotten.
If they’re the ones lining up behind this memorandum, that’s a wall of red flags, not a vote of confidence. And just because they call themselves an “opposition group” and throw huge speaking fees at American politicians does not magically make them legitimate in the eyes of Iranians. I would expect any serious Washington team to know who they’re dealing with before presenting them as the face of the Iranian people. @marklevinshow@tedcruz
Many of us were ready to vote Republican in the midterms because we believed that party understood this regime better than the Democrats. Now Republican leaders, including @JDVance need to hear clearly that selling this memorandum as acceptable will cost them trust and enthusiasm in our community, even if we still prefer them over the alternative. @marklevinshow
@marklevinshow@Sadaf__12@POTUS You say, “Why would I trust the Islamic Republic?” The better question is: who still does? Only a fool would trust a regime with a decades-long record of lies, broken promises, repression, and deception. The Iranian people learned that lesson long ago.
When the dust settles, the American people are going to be furious. I’m warning my brothers and sisters. As we comb over the MOU for guarantees, the enemy won’t give a sh*t. They’re going through the motions. Good deal, bad deal, any deal.
@DavidVance Only a fool would trust the Islamic Republic. A regime that lies to its own people, crushes dissent, breaks its promises, and has ruled through deception and repression for decades deserves no trust. The Iranian people know this reality better than anyone.

@LizaRosen0000 Only a fool would trust the Islamic Republic. The Iranian people have spent decades paying the price for this regime’s lies, deception, and empty promises.

You’ll be told pay no attention to what these terror bastards say. Actually, listen to every word. This killer is in the line of succession. He’s bragging that greater jihad is renewed and begins today. It never ended and will never end unless it’s obliterated.

JD Vance claims that “President Trump was deeply concerned by the killing of peaceful protesters under the previous leadership. Those leaders are now gone…We’ll see how the new government treats its people. If it continues the same behavior, we’ll assess our options based on its actions.”
Who is gonna tell him that the Islamic Republic executed two protesters yesterday? The White House are literally trying to gaslight the entire world and insulting the intelligence of the Iranian people. The same people who were in charge before are in charge now.
A message from an Iranian inside Occupied Iran to the terrorist Islamic Regime:
"America and Trump may overlook your faults and come to an agreement with you. But we will not forget as long as the world exists what scoundrels you are. We will not forget what calamities you have brought upon our people, what scars you have left in our hearts.
We have a score with you that can only be settled in one way: with "revenge".
We are your enemies forever."
