How a regime apologist held an American faculty post — until now:

— Who: Dr. Shirin Saeidi, a tenured University of Arkansas political scientist who 𝐫𝐚𝐧 𝐢𝐭𝐬 𝐌𝐢𝐝𝐝𝐥𝐞 𝐄𝐚𝐬𝐭 𝐬𝐭𝐮𝐝𝐢𝐞𝐬 𝐜𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐫.

— What she did: praised Ayatollah Khamenei, called the IRGC’s terror designation “unlawful,” and used university letterhead in the campaign for 𝐇𝐚𝐦𝐢𝐝 𝐍𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐢 — convicted in Sweden for the 1988 massacre of Iranian political prisoners.

— The fraud probe: Cambridge University Press is 𝐢𝐧𝐯𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐠𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐡𝐞𝐫 𝐛𝐨𝐨𝐤 after former political prisoners said she fabricated interviews they never gave.

— The reckoning: the university president overrode a faculty vote to reinstate her and 𝐟𝐢𝐫𝐞𝐝 𝐡𝐞𝐫 — a win Iranian dissidents chased for a year.

This is what “academic freedom” too often shields — not unpopular ideas, but active service to one of the cruelest regimes on earth. She cheered the man whose guards blind protesters and hang dissidents, then allegedly invented sources to launder his system in a university press. Free countries keep handing the mullahs megaphones inside their own institutions. Once in a while, one gets taken away.

کنگره امریکا لایحه ای را به رای میگذارد که ویزای تمامی افراد خانواده مقامات جمهوری اسلامی به امریکا را “لغو” و آنها را از خاک امریکا “اخراج” می‌کند.

این لایحه پس از اعلام خبر دستگیری خواهر زاده “قاسم سلیمانی” در امریکا معرفی شده است.

خواهر زاده و نوه خواهر زاده قاسم سلیمانی که در امریکا درخواست “پناهندگی” کرده بودند اخیرا توسط امریکا دستگیر شده و اخراج می‌شوند.

این لایحه توسط سناتور تام کاتن معرفی شده است.

“Sex-for-grades” Mahallati invoked Oberlin College at Tehran Conference in 2025, where Iran’s minister spouted antisemitic hate.
Yet Shlomo Elkan is barred from using the college name after alleged online child abuse. Why the double standard?

Events in the Middle East and the Gulf region are unfolding extremely rapidly. Unfortunately, Ukraine knows all too well what this is about. Although Ukrainians never threatened Iran, the Iranian regime chose to become Putin’s accomplice and supplied him with “shahed” drones, and not only the drones themselves, but also the technologies to produce them. Iran also provided other weapons to Russia.

Over the course of this full-scale war, Russia has used more than 57,000 shahed-type attack drones against the Ukrainian people, cities, and energy infrastructure. Other nations have also suffered from Iranian-backed terror. Therefore, it is fair to give the Iranian people a chance to rid themselves of a terrorist regime and to guarantee security for all nations that have suffered from terror originating in Iran.

Our position is well known, and Ukraine has stated it repeatedly, including recently. It is important to preserve as many lives as possible. It is important to prevent the war from expanding. It is important that the United States is acting decisively. Whenever there is American resolve, global criminals weaken. This understanding must also come to the Russians.

People cannot know the day or the hour, yet every act of evil, terror, and aggression against neighbors ultimately meets a just response. We expect that, in the end, the Middle East region will become safer and more stable. Much has already changed toward that goal.

Ukraine is ready to help every nation so that security and justice increase, and terrorist regimes decrease.

Western journalists need to closely study this clip to understand their own professional biases and blind spots and begin to see how crafty autocrats manipulate them into thinking that their agents and lobbyists are objective "experts" and "scholars." #IranRevolution2026

@LawdanBazargan It’s an honor to work alongside so many committed and courageous human rights activists. May the alliance between pro-Israel Jews and Iranians who oppose the Islamic Regime prosper and may it help usher in a freer and more democratic Middle East.

@FatemehPishdadi Have you examined her work? It’s a joke! Total nonsense regime propaganda. She writes like a cavewoman; her arguments are shrouded in ideological postmodern garbage that are not empirically backed. It’s a shame that modern academia has turned so woke.
