As we approach the six-month mark of Iran’s national uprising on January 8–9, the world must hear the truth once again:
in just 48 hours, the Islamic Republic massacred more than 40,000 unarmed Iranians.

A new Video of the gathering for Khamenei’s funeral in Jamkaran, Qom. Compare that to the map of the crowd counting tool. I have included everywhere the video shows.

Even with the most generous 2 people per m² (way more packed than reality in many spots), the max is ~297k.The regime and their Western lapdogs are screaming “millions.”

Assad pulled bigger crowds for a random rally and he was toppled in days. Diaspora Iranians in Munich/LA/Toronto (a tiny fraction of the population) hit similar numbers.

This is a total disaster for the Islamic Republic. They’ve lost legitimacy, numbers, morality — everything. Only guns left and Iranians will get theirs soon enough.

[Parham Ghobadi @BBCParham]

I explained that Khamenei’s funeral is a show staged by the regime to send a message of unity among Iranians, while the reality is far from that.

His mourners are allowed to take to the streets and are given food, drinks, transportation, and security. Protesters, meanwhile, are met with bullets, arrests, and the threat of execution.
Khamenei was killed less than two months after his forces killed thousands of Iranian protesters.

“You do not negotiate with an executioner while he is still holding the knife. 40,000 Iranians did not die so the free world could capitulate.”

Never judge the Islamic Republic by its smiles at the negotiating table.

Judge it by the hatred it celebrates, the threats it glorifies, and the actions it repeatedly takes.

With my people in #Iran, these days…

Behnam AmirAfshari was a father of two teenagers.

On January 17, in Fardis, Karaj, he was struck by live ammunition from the regime's forces.

He spent 14 days in the ICU, enduring repeated surgeries and amputation.
After days of pain and struggle, he passed away.

His children lost their father.
His family lost a life that should still be with them.

This must not be ignored.

با مردمم در ایران، این روزها…

جاویدنام بهنام امیرافشاری، پدر دو نوجوان.

۲۸ دی‌ماه در فردیس کرج، با گلوله جنگی نیروهای رژیم هدف قرار گرفت.
۱۴ روز در آی‌سی‌یو بستری بود و پس از بارها عمل جراحی و قطع عضو، چشم از جهان فروبست.

فرزندانش پدرشان را از دست دادند.
و خانواده‌اش عزیزی را که باید هنوز در کنارشان می‌بود.

این وضعیت نباید نادیده گرفته شود.

The Islamic Republic regime’s propaganda has failed. The number of regime supporters at Ali Khamenei’s funeral procession in the heart of Tehran was far smaller than the number of regime opponents who turned out in Toronto, Munich, Los Angeles, and elsewhere. You can perhaps survive for a while with lies and fraud, but this cannot last forever.

پروپاگاندای رژیم جمهوری اسلامی شکست خورد. هواداران رژیم در تشییع جنازه علی خامنه‌ای در قلب شهر تهران به اندازه مخالفین رژیم در تورنتو، مونیخ و لس آنجلس و ..‌. نبودند. با دروغ و تقلب شاید بتوان چند صباحی دوام آورد ولی این کارهمیشگی نمی‌تواند باشد.

[Reza Pahlavi Communications @PahlaviComms]

Multiple videos from Ali Khamenei’s funeral make clear that the Islamic Republic has not changed.

The footage shows an effigy of President Trump being hanged. Terrorism is part of the regime’s DNA, and its crimes will continue.

Video recorded in Tehran, the capital city of Iran today, shows Reza Gholami Aram, one of the snipers of the special police units of Iran’s Islamic regime protecting regime supporters during the funeral of dictator Ali Khamenei. These ruthless snipers massacred thousands of Iranian protesters in January 2026, including children. They are among the most ruthless terrorists of the Islamic regime.

During the Operation Lion’s Roar, my friends eliminated some of these terrorists by bombing their bases and hideouts. But this piece of shit got away.

[Throwback Iran @Tarikh_Eran]

If 20 million people really showed up to Khamenei’s funeral, then why do his supporters keep posting AI-generated videos instead of real footage?

As America marks the 250th anniversary of its Independence, Iranians are carrying the same message of liberty into the world.

Standing at the grave of Behnam Layeghpour, murdered by the Islamic Republic during the Mahsa Amini uprising, a young Iranian delivers a simple appeal:

"Stand with the Iranian people. No deal with the regime."

تلویزیون بی‌بی‌سی فارسی در صفحات رسمی خود، با انتشار بخش‌هایی تقطیع‌شده از گفت‌وگوی شاهزاده رضا پهلوی، تصویری نادرست و گمراه‌کننده از اظهارات ایشان ارائه کرده است. تیتر و متن این پست، با اتکا به نقل‌قول‌هایی ناقص که پیش‌تر نیز توسط رسانه‌ها و حساب‌های وابسته به جمهوری اسلامی برای تحریف سخنان ایشان بازنشر شده بود، به‌گونه‌ای تنظیم شده که به مخاطب این برداشت نادرست را القا می‌کند که شاهزاده رضا پهلوی آغاز جنگ یا تصمیم به حمله را به سفر خود به اسرائیل نسبت داده‌اند. برداشتی که هیچ نسبتی با محتوای کامل گفت‌وگو ندارد.

آنچه شاهزاده رضا پهلوی تصریح کرده‌اند، این است که سفر ایشان به اسرائیل، در کنار تلاش‌های گسترده میلیون‌ها ایرانی، به روشن‌تر شدن این واقعیت برای افکار عمومی جهان کمک کرد که مردم ایران دشمن جهان آزاد نیستند، و از این رو دنیا در برخورد با جمهوری اسلامی باید حساب مردم ایران را از این رژیم جدا کند. اینکه مسئول اصلی بحران، جنگ و بی‌ثباتی در ایران و منطقه، جمهوری اسلامی است. ایشان همچنین بارها تأکید کرده‌اند که هدفشان پیروزی مبارزه ملت ایران با کمترین هزینه انسانی ممکن است. چنان‌که در همین گفت‌وگو نیز تصریح کردند: «تمام هدف من این است که این مبارزه با کمترین تلفات جانی به نتیجه برسد… هر انسانی که جانش را از دست بدهد برای من واقعاً دردناک است.»

این‌گونه رفتارهای غیرحرفه‌ای و تحریف‌های آشکار از سوی بی‌بی‌سی فارسی در حالی صورت می‌گیرد که چندی پیش، مدیرعامل کل بنگاه رسانه‌ای بی‌بی‌سی و رئیس بخش خبر این سازمان به دلیل رسواییِ دستکاری، جرح‌وتعدیل و ادیت مغرضانه سخنان و مصاحبه‌ها ناچار به استعفا شدند. از رسانه‌ای که هزینه آن از مالیات شهروندان بریتانیایی تأمین می‌شود و با وجود ادعای راستی‌آزمایی، به دلیل نقض مکرر استانداردهای بی‌طرفی با بحران جدی اعتبار مواجه است، انتظار می‌رود فوراً نسبت به اصلاح این گزارش مغرضانه اقدام کرده و سخنان شاهزاده رضا پهلوی را به طور دقیق و امانت‌دارانه منعکس نماید.

[Reza Pahlavi @PahlaviReza]

To the foreign representatives in Tehran to mourn Iran’s deceased dictator, Ali Khamenei: Iran is not mourning him.

Iran is mourning more than 40,000 sons and daughters slaughtered on January 8 and 9 by Khamenei, Ghalibaf, and their machinery of repression.

The regime is spending vast amounts of the Iranian people's wealth to stage this propaganda spectacle, yet not a single democratic leader attended.

What you see today is not a nation in grief for its ruler. It is a nation filled with righteous anger, and that anger and heroic bravery will bring down what remains of this criminal regime.

[National Union for Democracy in Iran @NUFDIran]

250 years ago, Americans braved an experiment the world had never seen, what Abraham Lincoln would later call “government of the people, by the people, for the people.”

As Iranian Americans, we are proud of what America has taught the world.

Happy 250th birthday, America.

🔴Branch 15 of the Tehran Revolutionary Court, presided over by Judge Abolghassem Salavati, has sentenced protesters Mr. #MehdiNazer and his fiancée, Ms. #MahnazChardoli, to death and 10 years in prison.

🔸Additionally, Ms. Atefeh Nazer, the sister of Mr. Mehdi Nazer, has been sentenced to 10 years in prison. The three individuals were arrested in Tehran on January 11, 2026.

🔸According to Iran International TV, the charges brought against them include "attacking a mosque with Molotov cocktails," "participating in illegal gatherings," offenses related to Articles 3, 4, 7, and 8 of the Law on Intensifying the Punishment for Espionage and Cooperation with Israel, as well as "assembly and collusion."

🔸However, Iran International said that on the date of their arrest, no credible reports of gatherings or attacks on a mosque had been published.

🔸The capital charges brought against Mr. Nazer and Ms. Chardoli constitute a serious miscarriage of justice and are incompatible with international human rights law. The death penalty is restricted to the "most serious crimes," which the UN Human Rights Committee has interpreted as offenses involving intentional killing. The charges against Mr. Nazer and Ms. Chardoli fall far short of this threshold. Moreover, the Abdorrahman Boroumand Center has documented at least 19 protesters executed so far this year following deeply flawed and politically motivated judicial proceedings, underscoring Iran's increasing use of capital punishment as a tool of repression.
