What a Joke! @piersmorgan and @mehdirhasan
are sniveling hypocrites. They grandstanding about free speech in Iran like some brave truth-teller while the rest of the world, especially their own backyard and their beloved allies, has already torched it.
Piers, Free speech is dead or dying across the globe, and your selective outrage over Iran is pure performative bullshit. You cherry pick one regime to virtue signal while ignoring the ironfisted censorship in so called civilized nations and your favorite Israel & Gulf states that lock people up for tweets, flags, boycotts, or even filming missile strikes.
It is ridiculous, it is dishonest, and it exposes you as the establishment mouthpiece you are. The West and its partners lecture everyone else while jailing their own citizens or residents for smallest things. Look at the facts. In Turkey, insulting President Erdogan is a straight up crime under Article 299 of the Penal Code, with prison sentences of one to four years that can increase if done publicly. Thousands have been prosecuted, including journalists, students, and ordinary citizens for social media posts or jokes.
Saudi Arabia is even worse: criticize the royals, the government, or Islam and you face decades behind bars, lashes, or worse for disseminating false information or undermining the regime. In the UK, police made over 12,000 arrests in a single year for offensive social media posts, the highest on Earth, while pro-Palestine voices get dragged away for chants or signs under the Online Safety Act and Public Order laws that treat tweets like terror threats. Your England’s free speech is now a sick joke.
Germany arrests people for just wearing a Palestine flag T shirt or displaying a map in Palestinian colors, labeling it support for terrorism or antisemitism. France detains French citizens and activists over Gaza protests, criticism of Israel, or tweets, with blanket protest bans and charges flying against anyone stepping out of line on Israel.
They just arrested Rima Hassan, a Member of the European Parliament, for a pro Gaza Facebook post from 2024! Did you even talk about that? Or about a proposed French bill, called the "Yadan law," where now you can go to jail for 5 years and face massive fines for anti Israel speech or simple statements like “from the river to the sea”?
The USA, land of the free, has over 30 states with anti BDS laws that make it illegal for contractors or public entities to refuse business with Israel. Boycott the wrong country and you lose your livelihood. And do not forget your beloved Israel and their allies in the Gulf: in Dubai, UAE, Qatar, and Kuwait, you go to jail just for filming the missile and drone attacks from Iran. Authorities have arrested hundreds, including tourists facing years in prison and massive fines under cybercrime laws for sharing videos that might alarm the public or harm the state’s image.
Piers, so keep lecturing the world while your selective blindness proves the whole system & media is rigged. Hypocrisy this blatant does not just make you look foolish. It proves you have no clothes or integrity. Shut up and admit it. @mehdirhasan used to have lots of respect for you, but this was super weak and disappointing support for a hypocrite like Piers. You don't need to kiss his ass to get back on his show!
There is no credible evidence that Iranian authorities “killed at least 42,000 innocent, completely unarmed, protestors” in the riots and protests two months ago.
HRANA, a widely cited Iran rights monitor, reported on January 27 that protests had led to 42,324 arrests, not 42,000 killings.
The group, which is funded in part by the U.S. government, published on February 23 a ~1,350-page report, it’s most comprehensive account, which documented 7,007 deaths overall — broken down as 6,488 adult protesters, 236 minors, 207 security force members, and 76 non-participants. Iranian authorities have noted 3,117 deaths because of the actions of armed rioters who infiltrated the protests, and about 3,000 arrests.
Are you ready to pay $10 per gallon for gas if it means dragging Trump and his pedophile buddies off to prison for raping little girls on Epstein Island and at Zorro Ranch? (Retweet if you said yes)
You delusional Pahlavi supporter's made up Fake claim of 40,000 or 50,000 Iranians killed in 6 days is completely fake with zero evidence. You want people to believe Iran killed the same number of people as Israel did in Gaza in 3 years and did it in 6 days? These bullshit numbers change every single day because you clowns just pull them out of your ass to sound relevant.
These riots were started and fueled by Israel and Mossad all along. The US government, including Trump, Mike Pompeo, and even the New York Times, admitted they armed these domestic terrorists. Mossad was with them the whole time, directing the whole thing. And guess what, you hypocrite? These armed terrorists you defend killed over 800 innocent police officers.
So yes, the Iranian police and Army have every right to arrest, kill, or punish these domestic terrorists attacking their own cities. How would the USA, UK, or any other country handle armed domestic terrorists or gunmen bombing and shooting up their streets? You and your Pahlavi cult are a bunch of stupid hypocrites who only care about bringing a loser clown prince to be a king. ( Read Mike Pompeo Tweet, Moron!)
Hey you braindead monarchist piece of shit, all you post is bootlicking Trump while crying about the regime you claim to hate. You have Trump syndrome so far up your ass you ignore everything your orange rapist god is doing to real people, including Iranians. Newsflash, you clueless cultist: Trump launched an illegal war against Iran, supported Israel committing genocide in Gaza, raped women on Epstein Island, and on his very first day of that war killed 168 innocent little Iranian girls.
He is threatening to take over Greenland and Cuba, kidnapped the elected president of Venezuela, and is stealing their oil like the gangster he is. You wear your little Pahlavi flag and pretend to care about Iranians while sucking up to this pedophile warmonger. I know exactly who Mosaddegh was, a real Iranian leader who stood for democracy and against foreign puppets, unlike you who has zero clue and worships a clown prince and a convicted rapist at the same time.
If you are not against Trump, what the fuck do you stand for? Rape? Pedophilia? Epstein Island? Killing innocent people?You are not a fighter for Iran. You are a pathetic, hypocritical Trump cultist hiding behind monarchy LARP while real Iranians see you for the useless regime adjacent grifter you are. Shut the fuck up and stay irrelevant, you disgusting enabler.
@Conquerors2023@MahyarTousi@MossadSpokesman STFU. Stop making fake numbers up! You idiots and bitches want people to believe that Iran killed the same number of people in 6 days that it took Israel three years to kill in Gaza?
Hey @NiohBerg , you smug delusional Pahlavi bootlicker still huffing your own monarchist Teryak like its oxygen? You call other Iranians, moral cowards for not falling in line behind your loser clown prince and his dusty Peacock Throne fantasy? Newsflash genius monarchy IS the opposite of democracy. You can’t scream freedom and secular Iran while begging some inbred exile in Maryland to come play King and Daddy at the same time.
That’s not a plan, or a Free Iran, that’s a cult. You wave Israeli and American flags while cheering bombs on Iranian schools and dead little girls then pat yourselves on the back for high morality. The rest of us actually care about Iranians not getting turned into collateral damage for your Tel Aviv cosplay revolution. But sure, keep calling us the problem while your movement shrinks to a handful of Miami uncles and ChatGPT generated tweets. You guys are not active fighters.
You little pieces of shit hiding in Europe and North America. If you have the balls, go to Iran and try to do regime change from there. Most of you don’t even have the balls or the intentions of ever going back to Iran. You are not fighters or courageous. You are irrelevant clowns whose 15 minutes ended weeks ago. The world is waking up and seeing you for exactly what you are loud traitor Pahlavi supporters are.
The entire world is talking about the innocent Iranians, Lebanese, and Palestinians killed by the Israeli and US governments, and you are still choosing to look away. This is not blindness anymore. It is willful ignorance, moral cowardice, and a disgraceful refusal to face reality!
Hey Van Jones, you are a Zionist propaganda machine. You are still crying crocodile tears about the Iranian government “burning through millions per day” to keep 92 million people offline? Boo fucking hoo. According to the latest ITU global estimate for 2025, 2.2 billion people do not have access to the internet. That means roughly 26 percent of the world’s population is still offline, you selective outrage clown. Internet access is a privilege, not a right. And when that privilege can be used to destroy your country, as the CIA and Mossad were doing in Iran, the government had no other choice. So stop acting like you care about Iranians’ “right” to the internet, you fake humanitarian. Why have you not spoken about the majority of Africa not having internet? Or the other 2.2 billion people who do not have internet?
How about clean water or electricity? Right now, about 839 million people are trapped in extreme poverty across the world, and roughly 673 million people still go to bed hungry every night. In a world overflowing with wealth, technology, and resources, those numbers are not just shameful, they are a brutal indictment of global failure and broken priorities. But no, you do not care about actual human suffering. You only speak up when it lets you push your Zionist master's narrative. You are not exposing tyranny. You are just a paid mouthpiece for the same dirty, corrupt Zionist billionaires who fund endless wars and regime change fantasies. Shame on you.
Go virtue signal somewhere else while real people starve and the world burns. Your selective tears for Iran are as fake as your conscience. Stay irrelevant, stay bought, and stay out of pretending you care about anyone but your handlers.

I’ve supported Donald Trump. I still support a lot of his policies. But this week I have to be honest — and if you know me, you know I’m going to tell it like it is no matter who it offends.
Trump went on Truth Social and called Tucker Carlson, Megyn Kelly, Candace Owens, and Alex Jones low IQ and stupid. I know Tucker personally. He is neither of those things. None of them are. Then Trump posted an image of himself that looked like Jesus Christ — and had to take it down. I’m a Christian. I can’t stay quiet on that. I’m also going to give you my honest take on Iran, Netanyahu, and why Trump desperately needs a real consigliere — not a yes man. The mob got that part right. This isn’t me turning on Trump. This is me calling it like I see it.
