Speaking in poor English, Islamic Regime representative refused call for UN session on Iran tomorrow:

“There's no need for a special session, no critical situation that requires urgent addressing...”

Just 20,000 massacred.
What’s the big deal 🤷🏻‍♀️

[SN @SepidehN]

@GavinNewsom We appreciate the acknowledgment, Governor Newsom.

Silence is no longer an option—but neither is inaction.

➡️The Iranian people need sustained leadership, accountability, and real pressure for change.

[Gavin Newsom @GavinNewsom]

California stands in solidarity with the people of Iran, who are confronting violent repression, mass internet and power shutdowns, and economic collapse imposed by a theocratic authoritarian regime.

The scale and persistence of protests across Iran demand fundamental change after decades of state violence and denial of basic rights.

In support of California’s Iranian community and in defense of universal human rights, we urge an immediate end to violence against civilians, the restoration of internet access, and respect for the Iranian people’s right to chart their own future.

[Cyrus II of Persia @ShahanshahCyrus]

You have any idea how fed up a people must be to go out unarmed and fight violent armed Islamists?

The Iranians who are out tonight are lions.

Doctor says more than 200 reported dead in Tehran as regime opens fire on mass protests

I will be thrilled to be amongst the first to open a Lux office in Tehran when the incredible Iranian + Persian people are once again free of intolerant Islamist theocratic oppressive religious extremists

There are so many brilliant Iranian engineers + scientists the world needs

[Sana Ebrahimi Ledene @__Injaneb96]

Anyone who understands the Middle East knows this: the fall of the Iranian regime would be more consequential than the fall of the Berlin Wall, not because the Islamic Republic is a global power, but because it has been a central tool for China and Russia and a major engine of terrorism in the Middle East. Its collapse would rip out a core pillar of their influence and fundamentally change global power dynamics.

I have been waiting for this moment for Iran since I was six years old.

I woke up night after night to the sound of bombing sirens. I watched missiles tear across the sky. I remember running hand in hand with my mother down into the basement, lighting candles, seeing fear reflected in people’s eyes. I cried myself to sleep from the pain of missing my father who had been forced to flee under threat of execution by Khomeini. Because he dared to help others escape to freedom.

As a child of war, my drawings were not of playgrounds or dreams, but of airplanes and bombs.

Now, forty-seven years later, I stand before the same monuments in Washington, D.C. that greeted us when we escaped to freedom in America.

But more than 90 million of my brothers and sisters were not so lucky. They have lived for nearly fifty years in an occupied, open air prison. Their hopes and dreams have been snuffed out. Now they can’t take it anymore.

Do you feel their yearning for freedom echoing through the streets of Iran?

How could you not?

Even as the media looks away. Even as they ignore this historic chance for liberation. Even as they chant for democracy, for a free Iran, for the return of Pahlavi to lead the path forward.

Tonight, I cannot sleep. I pray that my childhood dreams finally come true, that we will welcome the Nowruz Persian New Year together again, in Tehran. Reunited. A free Iran, at peace with itself. At peace with Israel. At peace with America. At peace with the world.

A free Iran will transform the world. Its liberation will send ripples across the planet. A free Iran will unleash the greatest peace and economic dividend the world has ever seen.

What is happening in Iran right now is the most important story on Earth. The future of the world hangs in the balance.

Do not look away.
Do not look away.

Offer your support in any way you can. However you can. Please repost news about Iranian people’s final fight for their freedom. Because the media will not.

The Iranian people will never forget your courage, your kindness, and your solidarity.

من از شش‌سالگی، در انتظارِ این لحظه برای ایران بوده‌ام.

شب‌ها، پی‌درپی با صدای آژیرهای بمباران از خواب می‌پریدم. موشک‌ها را می‌دیدم که آسمان را می‌شکافتند. به یاد دارم دست در دست مادرم به زیرزمین می‌دویدیم، شمع روشن می‌کردیم و ترس را در چشمان مردم می‌دیدیم. با گریه به خواب می‌رفتم؛ از دردِ دوری از پدرم که زیر تهدیدِ اعدام، مجبور به فرار شده بود.

من کودکِ جنگ بودم. نقاشی‌هایم نه از زمینِ بازی و رویا، بلکه از هواپیما و بمب بود. در کودکی خیال‌پردازی می‌کردم که هواپیماهای کنترلی بخرم و با آن‌ها خانهٔ خمینی را بمباران کنم تا پدرم را نجات دهم.

اکنون، چهل‌وهفت سال بعد، در برابر همان بناهای یادبودِ واشنگتن دی‌سی ایستاده‌ام؛ همان‌ها که وقتی به آمریکا گریختیم و به آزادی رسیدیم، به ما خوش‌آمد گفتند.

اما بیش از نود میلیون از برادران و خواهرانم چنین بختی نداشتند. آنان نزدیک به پنجاه سال است که در یک زندانِ باز و اشغال‌شده زندگی کرده‌اند. امیدها و رویاهایشان خاموش شده است. و حالا دیگر تابِ تحمل ندارند.

آیا اشتیاقِ آزادی را که در خیابان‌های سراسر ایران طنین انداخته، حس می‌کنید؟

چگونه می‌شود حس نکرد؟

حتی وقتی رسانه‌ها روی برمی‌گردانند. حتی وقتی این فرصت تاریخی برای رهایی را نادیده می‌گیرند. حتی وقتی مردم فریادِ دموکراسی سر می‌دهند، فریادِ ایرانِ آزاد، فریادِ بازگشتِ پهلوی برای هدایت مسیر آینده.

امشب خواب به چشمانم نمی‌آید. دعا می‌کنم رؤیاهای کودکی‌ام سرانجام به حقیقت بپیوندد؛ اینکه نوروزِ فارسی را بار دیگر در کنار هم، در تهران، جشن بگیریم. دوباره به هم برسیم. ایرانی آزاد، در صلح با خود. در صلح با اسرائیل. در صلح با آمریکا. در صلح با جهان.

ایرانِ آزاد جهان را دگرگون خواهد کرد. رهاییِ آن موج‌هایی در سراسر سیاره خواهد انداخت. ایرانِ آزاد، بزرگ‌ترین سودِ صلح و شکوفاییِ اقتصادی را که جهان تاکنون دیده است، آزاد خواهد کرد.

آنچه امروز در ایران می‌گذرد، مهم‌ترین داستانِ روی زمین است. آیندهٔ جهان در ترازوی سرنوشت قرار دارد.

روی برنگردانید.
روی برنگردانید.

هر طور که می‌توانید، هر اندازه که می‌توانید، حمایت کنید.

مردم ایران هرگز شجاعت، مهربانی و همبستگیِ شما را فراموش نخواهند کرد.

🚨🇮🇷 Breaking scenes from Iran. Protesters are reportedly setting fire to the tomb of Khomeini, the founder of the 1979 Islamic Revolution. This is an extraordinary moment that highlights the intensity of the unrest.

Yesterday was such an Incredible day celebrating the 20th year of Nowruz at San Francisco City Hall. Thank you to SF Mayor @DanielLurie for joining us in this celebration of recognizing the culture & heritage of our community 🌱

[Daniel Lurie 丹尼爾·羅偉 @DanielLurie]

Today, we celebrated Nowruz, marking the Persian New Year with a beautiful Haft-Sin display. Nowruz, meaning “New Day,” welcomes the arrival of spring, a time of renewal and fresh beginnings. It is a new day in San Francisco, and there’s so much to look forward to in our future. May this year bring you health, happiness, and prosperity!
