Unbelievable and unacceptable!
Vice President Vance is trying to shift the blame for his failed negotiations onto others, making one false claim after another simply to avoid admitting that the talks with the Islamic Republic failed because of his own naïveté and his lack of understanding of how the ayatollahs’ regime operates.
Because of his misplaced optimism toward the ayatollahs, Vice President Vance gave this terrorist regime a major opportunity to humiliate the United States on the world stage.
The Vice President of the United States also appears to have little understanding of the Iranian people. He seems to view Iranians—who are victims of the regime and are fighting for freedom and democracy—as a threat, while treating the ayatollahs’ regime as a trustworthy negotiating partner.
I hope Mr. Vance comes to understand the realities of the region as soon as possible. As long as the ayatollahs’ regime remains in power, there can be neither stability nor lasting peace in the Middle East.

از درگذشت ناگهانی سناتور لینزی گراهام، دوست ثابتقدم مردم ایران و مدافع سربلند آزادی، بسیار متاثر شدم.
در لحظاتی که به شفافیت و قاطعیت اخلاقی نیاز بود، سناتور گراهام در سمت درست ایستاد. در روزهایی که دوستان و همراهان مردم ایران اندک بودند، او در مبارزه با استبداد، در کنار آنان ایستاد.
او از جایگاه و نفوذ خود بهره گرفت تا صدای مبارزان راه عدالت در مراکز قدرت شنیده شود.
ایرانیان حمایتهای سناتور گراهام را در جریان انقلاب شیروخورشید هرگز فراموش نمیکنند، و یاد او را همواره با سپاس و احترامی عمیق گرامی خواهند داشت.
مراتب تسلیت و همدردی خود را به خانواده، دوستان و همکاران سناتور گراهام، و همچنین به مردم ایالت کارولینای جنوبی و سراسر ایالات متحده آمریکا ابراز میداریم.
روحش در آرامش باد. امید که دیگران راه او را در مبارزه برای آزادی ادامه دهند.
I am deeply saddened by the sudden passing of Senator Lindsey Graham, a steadfast friend of the Iranian people and a proud defender of freedom.
At moments when moral clarity was required, Senator Graham stood on the right side. When friends were seldom found, he stood alongside the people of Iran in their struggle against tyranny.
He used his voice to ensure that the voices of those fighting for justice were heard in the halls of power. His support for Iran’s Lion and Sun Revolution earned him the title “Uncle Lindsey” among Iranians. He will be remembered with profound gratitude and deep respect.
We extend our deepest condolences to Senator Graham’s family, loved ones, colleagues, and the people of South Carolina and the United States.
May he rest in peace and may others carry on the fight for freedom.
شش ماه از مرگبارترین کشتار تاریخ ایران میگذرد.
بیش از ۴۰ هزار ایرانی، تنها برای مطالبه آزادی، کرامت، و حق انتخاب آینده خود، به دست جمهوری اسلامی قتلعام شدند.
در کنار مردم ایران بایستید.
Six months ago, tonight, Tehran went dark. All of Iran went dark. And into that darkness, millions of Iranians walked out of their homes anyway.
January 8th and 9th were not just two nights of protest. They were the night Iran's silence broke. Millions came into the streets, into the squares, onto their rooftops — but the regime answered them with bullets. Tens of thousands of my compatriots were killed in those forty-eight hours. Tens of thousands more have been arrested, tortured, and sentenced to die since.
They came out, determined and brave. I think of them every day. On those two nights I lost countrymen I will never get to meet. I do not hear a statistic when I hear the number 40,000. I see a son who did not come home to his mother. A daughter who will not sit at her family's table again. I think of each of them the way I would think of my own child, my own brother, my own sister. I carry the weight of every one of those names. But the families of the fallen I meet with, week after week, hearten our nation's will to carry on. Their children did not die in vain. They died for freedom, and they died with pride.
History will remember what these men and women did; I will make sure of it. Like the resistance who stood against tyranny in occupied Europe, and like the revolutionaries who fought for liberty in America. But theirs was a particular bravery. They had no army, no air cover, nothing but the belief in what they stood for. They stood anyway. A united nation choosing to face the guns together rather than live one more day in fear. The men and women of the 8th and 9th of January will be remembered in Iran's history as the greatest generation that preferred to die free and standing than to live cowered on their knees.
To the international community, I ask this: do not let a negotiating table in Geneva or Islamabad erase what happened in the streets of Tehran, Mashhad, and Kermanshah. They died for freedom. And when they are free, the Strait of Hormuz will open. The nuclear threat will end. And we will have true peace.
I have told my compatriots: what you did on January 8th and 9th cannot be undone. Together, we will reclaim our country’s rightful place in the world, our national dignity, and honor the lives of our heroes. Now is the time to reassess, regroup, and rededicate ourselves to victory.
We honor the fallen by finishing what they started. A free Iran is no longer a matter of hope. It is a matter of fact.
And know that my brave compatriots are not just fighting for their own liberation but for the peace and stability of the world.
شش ماه پیش، در چنین شبی، تهران در تاریکی فرو رفت. سراسر ایران در تاریکی فرو رفت. اما حتی آن تاریکی نیز نتوانست میلیونها ایرانی را در خانههایشان نگه دارد.
۱۸ و ۱۹ دیماه تنها دو شب برای اعتراض نبود. شبهایی بودند که سکوت ایران شکست. میلیونها نفر به خیابانها آمدند، میدانها را پر کردند و بر بام خانههایشان ایستادند، اما رژیم با گلوله به آنان پاسخ داد. در آن چهلوهشت ساعت، دهها هزار تن از هممیهنانم جان خود را از دست دادند. از آن روز تا این لحظه نیز دهها هزار نفر دیگر بازداشت، شکنجه یا به مرگ محکوم شدهاند.
آنان مصمم و با شهامت به خیابان آمدند. من هر روز به آنان میاندیشم. در آن دو شب، هممیهنانی را از دست دادم که هرگز فرصت دیدارشان را نخواهم یافت. برای من عدد ۴۰ هزار هرگز یک آمار نیست. هر بار که آن را میشنوم پسری را میبینم که دیگر هرگز به آغوش مادرش بازنگشت. دختری را میبینم که همیشه جای او بر سر سفره خانوادهاش خالی خواهد ماند. هر یک از آنان را چون فرزند، برادر یا خواهر خود میدانم و سنگینی بار نام تکتک آنان را بر دوش خود احساس میکنم. اما هر هفته که با خانوادههای جانباختگان دیدار میکنم، اراده ملتم برای ادامه این راه استوارتر میشود. فرزندان آنان بیهوده جان ندادند. آنان برای آزادی جان دادند، و با سربلندی جان دادند.
تاریخ فداکاری این زنان و مردان را از یاد نخواهد برد، و من نیز نخواهم گذاشت نام و راه آنان فراموش شود. همانگونه که مقاومتگران اروپای اشغالشده در برابر استبداد ایستادند و همانگونه که انقلابیون آمریکا برای آزادی جنگیدند، فرزندان ایران نیز ایستادگی کردند. اما شجاعت آنان، ویژگی دیگری داشت. آنان نه ارتشی داشتند، نه پشتیبانی هوایی، و نه هیچ پشتوانهای جز باور به آرمانی که برای آن برخاسته بودند. با اینهمه، ایستادند. ملتی یکپارچه تصمیم گرفت در کنار یکدیگر در برابر گلولهها بایستد، نه آنکه حتی یک روز دیگر در ترس زندگی کند. مردان و زنان ۱۸ و ۱۹ دیماه در تاریخ ایران بهعنوان نسلی جاودانه خواهند ماند که مرگِ آزاد و سرافراز را بر زندگیِ در زنجیر و زانوزده ترجیح داد.
من تنها این را به جامعه جهانی میگویم: اجازه ندهید آنچه در اتاقهای مذاکره در ژنو یا اسلامآباد رقم میخورد، حقیقت آنچه را در خیابانهای تهران، مشهد و کرمانشاه رخ داد، به فراموشی بسپارد. آنان برای آزادی جان دادند و با آزادی ایران، تنگه هرمز گشوده خواهد شد، تهدید هستهای پایان خواهد یافت و ما به صلح واقعی دست خواهیم یافت.
به هممیهنانم گفتهام آنچه شما در ۱۸ و ۱۹ دیماه آغاز کردید، مسیری بازگشتناپذیر است. ما با هم جایگاه شایسته کشورمان در جهان را بازپس خواهیم گرفت، عزت ملی خود را احیا خواهیم کرد و یاد قهرمانانمان را با ساختن ایرانی آزاد زنده نگه خواهیم داشت. اکنون زمان آن است که درنگ کنیم، دوباره نیرو بگیریم، و بار دیگر خود را وقف پیروزی کنیم.
ما یاد جانباختگان را با به پایان رساندن راهی که آغاز کردند گرامی میداریم. ایران آزاد دیگر یک امید نیست. یک قطعیت است.
و جهان باید بداند که هممیهنان دلیر من تنها برای آزادی خود نمیجنگند، آنان برای صلح و ثبات جهان نیز مبارزه میکنند.
The Islamic regime slaughtered 54,000 unarmed Iranian protesters during the January uprising. They had no weapons, the Ayatollahs and IRGC came with machine guns.
European nations still refuse to expel Iran’s diplomats. The UK still won’t designate the IRGC as a terrorist organization.
This is not diplomacy. This is appeasement of a jihadist death cult that murders its own people and exports terror across the region.
Shame on the EU and every government that continues to treat this terrorist regime as a legitimate player while its victims bleed.
Erdogan is a sharia supremacist and he is not our ally.
Turkey and Qatar are the largest funders of the Muslim Brotherhood.
Erdogan has explicitly said he wants a global Islamic caliphate. We cannot keep placating these genocidal Muslims.
Attendees of Khamenei’s funeral in Iran today are holding signs that say “Kill Trump”. They are also openly chanting for the Death of America.
Imagine thinking this can be “negotiated” with.
The US and Israel need to finish the job and rid the world of all IRGC supporters and enablers.
IRGC supporters at Khamenei’s funeral today in Iran are holding up signs with photos of me and my head in a bullseye, calling for me to be assassinated by Muslims.
And of course, Clash Report, which is a Turkey based media operation that supports Erdogan and the Muslim Brotherhood is promoting these calls for my assassination by IRGC assets.
The foreign Islamic influence operation continues.
Muslims gonna Muslim.
Iranian Muslim leaders are openly waving hit lists with targets on President @realDonaldTrump and @LauraLoomer.
Iran has targeted me too — we have to take these threats seriously. The @FBI and @SecretService must act now to keep those targeted by Mainstream Islam safe in the United States.
We won’t negotiate with those who want us dead, we must destroy them.
Ban every last one of these animals from ever entering our country, and deport everyone who supports them.
No exceptions!
Hey @JDVance@SecRubio
The “negotiators” from Iran and Pakistan are attending the funeral for Khamenei in Iran today where the IRGC is holding a poster of my face with a bullseye over my head calling for me to be assassinated.
Speakers are calling for President Trump to be killed and the entire funeral procession is chanting Death to America in the presence of these so called “negotiators for peace”.
I don’t think the negotiations with Islamic terrorists are going very well for America. And quite frankly, they never will go well if we are being honest because Islamic terrorists don’t believe in peace.
Iran shouldn’t be allowed to get away with threatening to murder a US President and US citizens.
This is utterly unacceptable.
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.
No one is forcing the nun to become a nun or to wear her habit, but I was forced to wear the hijab at age 7, otherwise, they wouldn’t let me into elementary school.
So yeah… screw your savage religion.
Oh…
What do we have here?
@SohrabAhmari defending Dugin as a beacon of truth and promoting Dugin’s interview with Tucker Carlson, which was filmed in Russia when Tucker flew to Russia to interview Putin.
Dugin was caught on camera a few months ago saying the Russians should give nuclear weapons to Iran to destroy the West and attack the United States. He has also said the US needs to be destroyed and works daily to amplify hatred of Trump and Jews.
Now, Sohrab is running around telling everyone he is advising JD Vance on Iran.
Sohrab was born in Iran, he’s married to a Chinese national, and is a “former communist” who regularly bashes Donald Trump. He has no commonality with any MAGA conservative, but he wants to help dictate US foreign policy.
Defending Putin advisor Dugin @AGDugin makes me believe Sohrab isn’t a “former” at all, but rather a hard core Duginist like his buddy Tucker Carlson who said everyone in the GOP is condemnable “except” JD Vance.
Why was Sohrab allowed on Air Force 2?
People like this have no business being near any White House official.
Why would @SohrabAhmari be invited on Air Force 2 to travel with Vice President @JDVance and get special access for an interview? In his post below, he’s bragging about flying with the VP.
3 weeks ago, a Senior White House source of mine came to me very concerned. They told me Sohrab has been running around telling people he is advising our Vice President on Iran and other foreign policy issues, and they expressed concern over why Sohrab has been given access.
Now, I have no idea if he is “advising”, but now that he’s traveling on Air Force 2 and published the article below admitting his close access to the VP, I think it’s certainly plausible what I was told is true.
I genuinely hope it is not true though, as someone who supports the administration, and I think it’s bizarre that Sohrab Ahmari runs around calling himself one of Vance’s closest allies and friends in media.
Sohrab is someone with little to no moral character, and he openly fraternizes with enemies of America and runs cover for Islamists. He was born in Iran, and he is married to Ting Li, a Chinese immigrant.
Here he is recently sitting next to serially convicted pedophile Scott Ritter, a Russian asset; a pro-Iran and pro-Hezbollah imam from Dearborn, Michigan, CodePink’s Medea Benjamin who is under investigation by the Trump administration, and Jeffrey Sachs, who is allegedly paid by China and the UAE.
The Vance wing of the GOP would be wise to avoid these figures. These types of alliances don’t win votes. Those who are vested in JD Vance winning in 2028 should really make sure people like Sohrab and Tucker are kept far away from the campaign.
Sohrab’s associations are anti-American.
As I always say: Vetting matters.
I’d be very careful about allowing Iranian born “journalists” to travel with the VP and ask about the IRGC.
Obviously Sohrab is not pro-America, because people who love America don’t hang out with people like this. 👇🏻
@tparsi@DailyCaller How about you fuck off to Iran where you belong? Very rich of an operative like you to be saying which Americans should be fired. You’re a Muslim piece of trash who isn’t even a US citizen. Who do you think you are dictating US policy?
