Reza Pahlavi on Western media:

"It appears to me more often than not that there's a disconnect between the world media, Western media, from the reality on the ground in Iran. That is stupefying for me. I saw that to some extent in Stockholm and I see another occasion, it looks like you guys are on another planet. You're not hearing what the people on the streets are saying."

Trump has an opportunity to negotiate for the Iranian people, not just for a narrow deal with the regime on weapons, Eli Lake argues.

The “occupied” Iran 😔

[kooshiar @kooshiar]

Media lies about this

“Iranian diaspora” is not a different type of Iranians.
It’s just Iranians with internet

It's been more than 45 days since Iran's internet went dark. And the Iranian regime is burning through MILLIONS per day to keep 92 million people offline.

Why spend so much to silence your own country? Because when you control the internet, you control the story. When a government won't let its OWN PEOPLE speak, question the narrative the outside world is hearing.

This is the realest description of the situation of the people of Iran.

Bravo to the artist!!

This list was clearly written by someone who knows nothing about the Islamic Republic, Islamic terrorism, or the Middle East.
If America actually carries out this list, not only will the US gain nothing , it will suffer the greatest failure in its history.
After implementing this list, the Islamic Republic won’t collapse. Instead, any possibility of regime change by the Iranian people themselves will be completely destroyed.
A country of 90 million people will turn into a paradise for Middle Eastern terrorists, and in a few years, America will be forced to return for another war, this time against a one-million-strong army.
Instead of this nonsense, America should realize that the Iranian people are capable of overthrowing this regime themselves. The only thing the US military should do is help them come out onto the streets safely.

[Reza Pahlavi @PahlaviReza]

Mr. @SecMullinDHS, as you step into your new position I ask you to provide particular consideration to the status of Iranian students and professionals in the United States who may be at risk of immigration complications due to Presidential Proclamations 10949 and 10998. Many of these individuals fled the Islamic Republic’s because they believe in freedom, democracy, and the values this country stands for. They are also contributing to the United States every day.

They arrived in this country legally, followed the rules, respect this country and its system of law and order and are among the most dedicated and accomplished contributors to American society. I ask that you and your department consider these factors, plus the personal and political risk many of these young people would face if sent back to the criminal regime in Iran.

America’s concerns for its national security and the threat posed by the Islamic regime to the homeland are entirely justified. To that end, my office stands ready to provide you and your colleagues with regime operatives, propaganda agents, and influence networks for investigation and removal from the United States.

Thank you for your consideration.

On a recent @joerogan episode, @ComicDaveSmith talked about misinformation on Iran, but ended up spreading several misleading and one-sided claims. As an Iranian, I fact-checked just 3 minutes of what he said and it was already disappointing. Here’s a breakdown 🧵

@FaraOn13thFloor @USCIS @DHSgov کسانی که مثل من pending H-1B extension petition دارن و تحت تاثیر hold هستن و مهلت ۲۴۰ روزه رو به اتمامه براشون، می‌تونن از طریق کارفرماشون amended H-1B فایل کنن. قانون ۲۴۰ روزه مجدد شامل حالشون می‌شه و در این مدت اجازه کار خواهند داشت. کارفرمای من این رو انجام داد.

Hundreds of vehicles carrying Hashd al-Sha’bi terrorist forces have entered Iranian territory.
The most important function of these forces is to massacre the Iranian people in the event of a popular uprising in the streets.
We strongly call on the US Army and Israel to destroy all of these foreign terrorists.

I recently graduated with a Ph.D. and received a postdoctoral offer from a respected institution. #USCISPause is preventing me from starting my position. It has also immobilized me;I can’t work, drive, or afford my expenses.

BIG Iranian contingent at this year’s CPAC because exiled crown prince Reza Pahlavi will be speaking.

All the Iranians I’ve spoken to so far are supportive of Pres Trump and the war in Iran.

Pahlavi wants to be the interim transitionary leader if and when the regime falls.

Ending the Iran war without regime change will lead to slaughter https://t.co/qMdMVIXbrO
