⚠️ Update: The internet blackout in #Iran is now in its 42nd day after 984 hours. While the general public are restricted to the local National Information Network, chosen users are whitelisted by the regime to deliver alternative narratives to the outside world via social media.

[Nabauti @Nabauti88]

Iran belongs collectively to all Iranians, a people with 7,000 years of civilization who have spent the last 47 years fighting oppression and destruction. We have spent decades resisting with empty hands or choosing the bitter path of exile.

The infrastructure and power plants of this land belong to the freedom-seeking people of Iran. Threatening to turn Iran into "hell" is exactly what we’ve been fighting against for 47 years

@FaceTheNation @margbrennan Lie! The people of Iran have their own voice and don't need anyone to be their voice.
Open the internet.

⚠️ Update: Two full weeks have now passed since #Iran fell into digital darkness amid a regime-imposed internet blackout.

The public remain isolated from the outside world with only a limited domestic intranet after 336 hours while state-approved accounts get whitelisted access.

[Neil Stone @DrNeilStone]

90 million people in Iran without Internet for TWELVE DAYS now

Only regime officials are given access, to push their narrative - which remarkably, many people in the Western media seem quite happy to blindly accept

The Iranian women’s national football team refused to sing the anthem of the Islamic Regime. Tonight. At the opening match of the Asian Cup. In front of the entire world.

So, to all liberal Western women:

Watch and learn.
THIS is what real feminism looks like.

People all over Iran are celebrating the death of Khamenei 🥳

[Fox News @FoxNews]

SEE IT: A crowd in southern Iran was seen toppling a statue of Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei.

Listen to Iranians!!

[Sana Ebrahimi Ledene @__Injaneb96]

For 47 years they silenced anyone who opposed them; prison, bullets, threats.
“If you don’t like it here, leave,” they said.

So we left.

Engineers. Doctors. Scholars. Entrepreneurs. Students.
We scattered across the world and built lives in exile, but we never stopped dreaming of a free Iran.

Now the Iranian diaspora is their worst nightmare.

They can’t jail us.
They can’t shoot us in the streets.
They can’t shut down the internet on us.

For decades they forced us out.
Now it’s their turn to go.

We will come after you, Khamenei.

[Reza Pahlavi Communications @PahlaviComms]

150,000 Iranians took to the streets of the city yesterday without a single incident.

This is the real Iran. One that, after the fall of the Islamic Republic, will become a pillar for peace and stability in the region and the world.

Thank you, @TorontoPolice, for your service.

@Nabauti88 @jnbarrot this is what is happening in Iran!

[Hemad Nazari @Hemadnazari]

This is the funeral of a young protester who was killed by Islamic Regime last week.

Traditionally in Iran, funerals are marked by sorrow: sad music, Islamic sermons, and recitations from the Quran.

But here, something completely different is happening.
The music being played is the kind normally heard at weddings. People are clapping. They are dancing. At a funeral!

This is not celebration, it is protest.

By rejecting religious rituals and replacing them with wedding music, people are sending a clear and defiant message:
how deeply they despise this so-called “religious” government, how strongly they oppose the regime and its imposed ideology.

There is hardly any way more difficult, more profound, or more unmistakable to express opposition to this regime, and yet, the people of Iran continue down this path.

They do not retreat.
They do not back down.
