گلگونه دی ماه به سر شد
ضحاک زمانه دربهدر شد
دانیم و بَرآنیم که هربار
پایان شب سیه سحر شد
هر شیر، در این بیشه بهپاخاست
خورشید، چو از سایه به در شد
این روز، که نو شد و بهاری
یادآورِ فردایِ دگر شد
نوروز ۲۵۸۵ پیروز 🌸
پاینده ایران، جاوید شاه 🩵
پیروز باد انقلاب شیر و خورشید 🇮🇷
شنبه، ۹ اسفند ۲۵۸۴ برام شگفتانگیز بود. دومین تجربه جدیدم در این انقلاب، پس از ۲۵ بهمن. به نظرم هیچکدوم از ما نمیتونستیم در لحظهای هم خوشحال نباشیم و هم اندوهگین، هم امیدوار و هم دلتنگ، هم هیجانزده و هم آسوده 🦁🌞🩵✌🏻

Gathering of Iranians in Madrid calling for an end to executions, the release of political prisoners, and unrestricted internet access in Iran
Spain — Sunday, May 10
إلى جيراننا العرب: تقف منطقتنا اليوم عند مفترق طرق.
فإمّا طريقٌ يُبقي الجمهورية الإسلامية في السلطة، ويقود إلى مزيدٍ من الجرائم بحقّ شعبنا وشعوبكم.
وإمّا طريقٌ آخر يساند الإيرانيين في استعادة وطنهم من قبضة نظامٍ لا يتمتع بأي شرعية، وهو الطريق الذي سيفتح الباب أمام عودة السلام والاستقرار إلى المنطقة.
To our Arab neighbors: our region is at a fork in the road.
One path leaves the Islamic Republic in power and leads to further crimes against our people and yours.
The other helps Iranians reclaim Iran from this illegitimate regime and returns peace and stability to the region.
جنگزده بودن خیلی سخته. من نمیتونم بگم که به تمامی تجربهش کردم.
چیزی که میتونم بگم تمامی ایرانیها از چهل و هفت سال گذشته در حال تجربهش هستند، آخوندزده بودن هست. خیلی سخته. از خیلی جنبهها که شاید نشه نشون یا بروزش داد طوری که برای دیگران قابل درک باشه.

@mb_ghalibaf واقعا هنوز نفهمیدم مشکل “شهید” چی بود که هوادار “جانفدا” شدید. شما هر جقدر ظاهرتون رو شبیه ما بکنید، ذاتتون شبیه نمیشه. شما ایرانیِ میهنپرست نیستید اهریمنها!
Whether or not Europe stands with us, whether or not your journalists do their jobs, whether or not your politicians demonstrate the courage to act, I will fight for my people and my country.
چه اروپا در کنار ما باشد، چه نباشد، چه روزنامهنگاران شما کار خود را انجام دهند، یا ندهند، چه سیاستمداران شما شجاعت اقدام داشته باشند یا نه، من برای مردم و کشورم مبارزه خواهم کرد. حتی اگر مجبور باشیم این کار را بهتنهایی انجام دهیم، تا زمانی که ایران آزاد شود، مبارزه خواهیم کرد.
۱۰۰ روز پیش، در ۱۸ و ۱۹ دی ماه، میلیونها ایرانی با آگاهی نسبت به اینکه چه بهایی ممکن است بپردازند، به خیابانها آمدند. بیش از ۴۰ هزار قهرمان، این بها را برای سربلندی، آزادی و رهایی ایران با فدا کردن جان خود پرداختند.
زنان جوان روسریهای خود را در مقابل سرکوبگران مسلح از سر برداشتند. دانشجویان با سازماندهی اعتراضات، در مقابل نیروهای لباس شخصی در دانشگاهها ایستادگی کردند. معلمان، وکلا و کارگران محل کار خود را ترک کردند. مغازهداران به نشانه همبستگی مغازههای خود را بستند. میلیونها تن از مردم ایران، شهر به شهر، جلوهای حماسی از همبستگی ملی به نمایش گذاشتند و جهان را مبهوت خود کردند.
رژیم با شلیک گلوله، بازداشتهای گسترده، و دادگاههای نمایشی و اعدام پاسخ داد. ایرانیان در رویارویی با یک شر غیرانسانی، شجاعتی مافوق بشری از خود نشان دادند. بیش از ۴۰ هزار تن جان خود را فدا کردند.
هموطنان من به راه خود ادامه دادند و شجاعت آنها در تاریخ ماندگار خواهد بود. این نبرد نهایی است و ملت بزرگ ایران برای غلبه بر جمهوری اسلامی آماده میشوند. در این نبرد برای بازپسگیری کشورمان و آزادی ملتمان، از مبارزه دست نخواهم کشید.
امیدوارم جهان در کنار ما باشد؛ اما چه باشد و چه نباشد، مبارزه ما ادامه خواهد یافت و ما ایران را آزاد خواهیم کرد.
100 days ago, on January 8th and 9th, millions of Iranians took to the streets knowing the price they might pay. More than 40,000 heroes paid that price for Iran's dignity, liberty, and freedom.
Young women tore off their headscarves in front of armed security forces. Students organized, marched, and faced plainclothes agents on campuses. Teachers, lawyers, and workers walked off their jobs. Shopkeepers shuttered their stores in solidarity. Millions of ordinary people did extraordinary things in city after city in an epic display of national unity.
The regime answered with bullets, mass arrests, and show trials and executions. Facing an inhuman evil, Iranians showed superhuman bravery. More than 40,000 gave their lives.
My compatriots kept going and their courage belongs to history. This is the final battle and they are preparing to win the war against the Islamic Republic. In this battle to reclaim our nation, I will not stop fighting until the day they are free.
We hope the world will be with us. Whether it is or not, our fight will continue and we will liberate Iran.
مردمی که مجریهای تلویزیون جمهوری اسلامی میگن این همه وقت توی خیابون بودن و نگران شدن به خاطر توییت وزیر امور خارجهشون، همه دسترسی به اینترنت آزاد دارن لابد که در جریان قرار گرفتن.
این یعنی به نظر این اهریمنها، مردم فقط سیمکارت-خونیها هستن 👹
#اين_آخرين_نبرده_پهلوى_برميگرده
Appeasing the regime that massacred 40,000 protesters won’t bring peace. It will only delay the next crisis.
It is time for a clean break. Instead of legitimizing their oppressors, the West should stand with the people of Iran.
My op-ed in @thetimes: https://t.co/S7owB7buIH
چطور یک نفر خودش رو اپوزوسیون ایرانی معرفی میکنه در حالی که به زبان ایرانیها سخن نمیرانه؟
برای من، صحبت به زیان یک قوم، تاکیید بر نمایندگی اون قوم هست، موجب دوری افراد از هم میشه. پس، خواسته ایشان، اتحاد با ایرانیها نیست.

My remarks today at the Swedish Parliament:
"Esteemed Members of the Riksdag, Ladies and Gentlemen,
I stand before you today, not to speak of policy abstractions or diplomatic courtesies. I stand before you to speak of a people — a great, ancient, and proud people — who at mortal cost, are fighting for freedom.
What is unfolding across Iran is not simply a political dispute. It is not a contest between factions within a system. It is something far more elemental: a national reckoning between a civilization, and a ruthless regime that has occupied it for nearly half a century.
Since inception, the Islamic Republic has not behaved as a state among states. It has operated as a revolutionary enterprise — exporting instability through proxies, subverting its neighbors' sovereignty, fueling conflict from Baghdad to Beirut, from Sanaa to Damascus, and advancing its nuclear ambitions beneath a fog of denial. It has not sought a place in the community of nations. It has sought to overturn that community.
Yet something irreversible has now changed inside Iran. The battle in my country today is not between reformers and hardliners. It is between occupation and liberation. It is a battle for the soul of a nation.
What we are witnessing is not a fleeting protest movement. It is a generational revolt — the most profound uprising in Iran since 1979 — uniting workers and students, women and minorities, professionals and poets, and yes, even elements within the state apparatus itself. Together, they have rendered their verdict: this regime has forfeited all legitimacy. Indeed, it is a revolt against the 1979 revolution itself.
When legitimacy dies, power begins to crumble. The regime understands this — which is precisely why it silences voices, shuts down the internet, and turns weapons against unarmed citizens.
And the cost has been heartbreaking — a cost that demands this noble chamber bear witness.
Men and women are being slaughtered in the streets and in their homes. More than 40,000 Iranians were massacred in a single week. The regime's operatives hunted wounded protesters in hospitals and executed them in cold blood. Bodies were collected by dump trucks. Families were forced to search through rows of unmarked body bags.
40,000…
The number is almost too large to comprehend. Too abstract. It allows too many in the outside world to look at it like a mere statistic. So let me tell you some of their names and stories.
Consider Hamid Mahdavi, the 38-year-old firefighter from Mashhad, who spent his final moments carrying wounded protesters to safety—only to be shot dead by regime forces for the crime of saving lives.
Think of Sina Kazemi, 22 years old. He was in his final term of engineering school. He had a lifelong passion for music and technology. He chose to fight for his and his nation’s dignity. He was looking forward. Security forces shot him in the back of the head.
In Bushehr, nurse Mansoureh Heydari and her husband, teacher Behrouz Mansouri, were shot dead side by side while protesting peacefully. They left behind two young children, ages 8 and 10 — a family destroyed for daring to dream of freedom.
Twenty-eight-year-old biotechnology student Negin Ghadimi went out to protest despite her father’s pleas. Mortally wounded, she died in his arms whispering, ‘Dad, I’m burning’— a bright future stolen in a single night of terror.
But the terror is not over. It continues every day. Access to the Internet is still blocked. And while the people of Iran are disconnected from the world, the regime continues to kill. Today the media speak of a ceasefire. What ceasefire? There has been no ceasefire in the Islamic Republic’s war on the people of Iran. At check points that mark most every street, regime thugs and their imported terrorists harass, beat, and murder innocent Iranians.
For those who cry of war and its costs, this is the war you should be speaking of: the Islamic Republic’s war on my compatriots. That war that rages on everyday, far from the headlines of your Western newspapers, and the minds of your television producers.
But they are not far from my mind. My brave compatriots continue to resist. Many stand with broken bodies but unbreakable wills. They would rather die standing than live kneeling. So would I.
Churchill understood such a people when he said that nations do not die when their soldiers fall — they die only when their spirit surrenders. I am here to tell you, Iran’s spirit has not surrendered and it never will!
Despite its brutality, the Islamic Republic is closer to collapse today than at any point since 1979.
And one fact is now beyond dispute: the Iranian people will never accept a repackaged version of this regime. Too much blood has been spilled. Too many graves have been dug. The demand is not for a kinder jailer. The demand is for freedom.
There is a military dimension to these events that this chamber is watching closely, and I will not pretend otherwise. But I say to you: however the military operation currently on pause turns — whether it accelerates the Islamic Republic's fall or merely deepens the fractures within it — the outcome of Iran's revolution will not be determined by any force from the outside. It will be determined by the Iranian people themselves.
The Lion and Sun Revolution — the uprising that the people of Iran ignited in January with their own blood and their own courage — cannot be extinguished by any regime calculation, any diplomatic maneuver, or any military result. The people started it. The people will finish it.
If the military operation pushes the Islamic Republic into the historical abyss where it belongs, we will be there — ready, organized, and determined — to build what comes after. And if the regime survives the immediate storm, we will continue the revolution until it is complete. We began this journey. We will see it to its end. History has given us no other choice.
When I look at Europe, I see ambivalence and a continued inability to see the reality of the streets of Iran. I am disappointed, yet not surprised, at the rush to engage this criminal regime. The regime that has murdered tens of thousands of its own citizens. The regime is sponsoring terrorism on the streets of Europe, including in Sweden. The regime is threatening and blackmailing European Governments with hostages and violence.
The Europe I believe in is supposed to stand for human rights, democracy, and equality.
It has a proud record in previous struggles - fighting apartheid in South Africa, supporting the Solidarity movement in Poland, and now in backing Ukrainians in the fight for sovereignty.
So why should Iran be different? Are Iranians’ human rights less important? Are their lives worth less?
Perhaps to some, but not to us.
Sadly this is not new. For decades Europe has appeased and emboldened this terrorist regime. It has been a policy that has helped this Regime survive and kill its own people.
I hope the Swedish Government will press the European Union and other countries to stand with the people of Iran and their struggle for liberty. I am pleased and heartened that so many members of the Riksdag, across multiple parties, are here today to hear a message from the people of Iran. On behalf of my compatriots who are far too often silenced, thank you.
Esteemed members of this Riksdag, this is no longer distant geopolitics — it is a security emergency on Swedish soil.
The Swedish Security Service, SÄPO, together with the Swedish Police Authority, has confirmed that the Islamic Republic of Iran operates within Sweden through criminal proxy networks. These are not surveillance operations alone. They carry out acts of intimidation and violence — targeting Jewish communities, Iranian dissidents, and Swedish citizens at large.
On the third of March this year, shortly after the outbreak of the current conflict in the Middle East, SÄPO issued an urgent public warning of a heightened threat level.This is not speculation. This is a statement from your own security services.
And here is what makes this threat particularly corrosive: the criminal networks that Tehran employs do not cease to exist between assignments. They are embedded in Swedish society. They are the same networks already identified as a major internal threat to public safety.
Sweden has responded with resolve. You have restricted visas for Iranian embassy staff. You prosecuted Hamid Noury for crimes against humanity under universal jurisdiction — setting a historic precedent. But it did not last.
Sweden returned Noury to Tehran where he was given a hero's welcome by his fellow murderers. While he was allowed to return to boast of his crimes on state television, Dr. Ahmadreza Djalali was forced to continue to suffer in the regime’s torture chambers. It was ten years ago that he was taken. And he is still captive.
Decisions like this embolden the Islamic Republic to take more hostages, to commit more crimes, and to further defy the world. A French senator told me a few months ago: our governments have become hostages to our hostages.
But governments still have a choice whether to give in to blackmail or not.
Václav Havel once said that the only genuine security in the world is a security rooted in truth. The truth is, as long as this regime remains in power, Sweden and the free world will not be safe.
Why did Sweden join NATO? Because of Putin’s war of aggression against Ukraine. That decision was correct. And it was necessary.
Let us not forget that the Islamic Republic is not a bystander to Russia's war. Tehran has supplied drones and missile technology to Moscow. Iranian-manufactured weapons have struck Ukrainian cities. Regime technical cooperation has sustained Putin’s capacity to wage war against a democratic neighbor.
As President Zelenskyy and I have discussed and stated together: the Russian threat to Europe and the Islamic Republic’s threat to Europe are not two separate problems. They are two manifestations of a single challenge.
Sweden now stands inside NATO's collective defense. But collective defense is not only military. It is political, economic, and moral. It requires that democratic nations recognize threats in their totality — and treat the Islamic regime's support for Russian aggression as the direct security concern that it is.
Let me now speak, not of present dangers, but of future possibilities.
The relationship between Sweden and Iran has deep roots. In the early decades of the twentieth century, Swedish experts and businesses built strong ties in Iran. During the celebrations of 2,500 years of Iranian civilization at Persepolis, Sweden was represented by then-Crown Prince Carl Gustaf. His Majesty and I sat together and spoke of the future of our nations and people.
That future, with a democratic Iran, would change the security calculus of the entire region — and of Europe. It would immediately dismantle the proxy networks operating on Swedish soil. It would end the hostage diplomacy that has poisoned relations with Western nations for decades. It would cooperate on intelligence and the rule of law. It would cease its support for Russia's war machine. It would secure Europe’s energy needs for decades to come.
It would emerge as a natural partner — a nation of 90 million people with extraordinary human capital, a rich civilization, and a desire to rebuild after decades of misrule.
Sweden has every reason to be part of that future. Your excellence in information technology and digital infrastructure, your defense industry — Saab's world-class capabilities in aerospace and defense — your engineering heritage through Volvo and Scania, your commitment to culture, your tradition of precision manufacturing and industrial innovation: these are precisely what a rebuilding Iran will need. This is not charity. This is partnership between equals, between nations with complementary strengths and shared values.
At this historic moment, as Iranians call upon me to help provide leadership toward a democratic transition, I reaffirm the commitment I have made throughout my life: to serve as a unifying national figure — not a partisan one, not a claimant to power — but a facilitator of stability, of national unity, and of a peaceful transfer to democratic governance.
I am not alone in believing this is possible. Together with economists, legal experts, security professionals, and civil society leaders from across the Iranian political spectrum, we have developed detailed transition frameworks — the Iran Prosperity Project — to ensure institutional continuity, prevent instability, and allow rapid national recovery after the regime's end. There is a plan. There is a path. There is a responsible alternative.
Even within the state apparatus, the fractures are deepening. Reports indicate that members of the armed forces and security institutions are increasingly refusing orders to participate in violence against civilians. Many have quietly signaled where their true loyalties lie: with the nation, not with those who repress it. When the path emerges, I am confident they will act.
No government can survive once it loses the willingness of its own institutions to enforce repression. We are approaching that moment.
Let me conclude, esteemed members of this Riksdag, with what I believe is the simplest and most important truth of this address.
The Iranian people are not asking you to fight their revolution. They are already risking their lives doing that themselves — with a courage that should humble all of us.
They are asking something far more modest:
Do not legitimize those who oppress them.
Do not strengthen those who terrorize them.
Protect those who have sought refuge among you.
Prepare for the day when Iran stands free.
There are moments in history when neutrality is not a position — it is a decision. When caution is not prudence — it is complicity. When history quietly presents a question and waits, with terrible patience, for an answer.
Churchill faced such a moment in 1940. Havel faced it in 1989. Zelenskyy faces it today. And in their own way — with no aircraft, no armies, no diplomatic immunity — the people of Iran face it in every street, every prison cell, every unmarked grave.
The Iranian people have already answered. They have answered in the streets and in their prisons. They have answered with their lives. They have chosen freedom.
History now asks the democratic world a simpler question, and Europe in particular:
Will you stand with a free people? Or will you accommodate those who oppress them?
Future generations will not read your statements. They will assess your actions. They will not ask what you said. They will ask what you did — and what you refused to do when it mattered.
And one day soon — and I say this, not as sentiment but as strategic conviction — when Iran is free, when its people stand again among the free nations of the world, when its children inherit a country without fear, we will all know that this was the moment when history turned. The moment when a great people refused to kneel. The moment when free nations chose not to look away.
Let it be written that when that day came, Sweden was ready.
When the Iranian people stood for freedom, Sweden stood with them.
Thank you."
Stockholm, Sweden
April 13, 2026
The United Kingdom has endlessly appeased the criminal regime in Iran. The Prime Minister speaks of protecting the innocent civilians of Iran but failed to act to help stop the regime’s massacre of 40,000 innocent Iranians in January.
Only an end to this regime - that brings terror to Britain’s own shores - will yield lasting peace and regional stability. Keir Starmer should follow in the footsteps of Churchill, not Chamberlain. He should support the Iranian people’s fight for liberty.
The Iranian people will remember who stood with them in their hour of need and who stood against them. There is still time for the Government to change course: prosecute the IRGC that slaughters innocents, expel the illegitimate regime's ambassador, and act to support the people of Iran.
I won't let the world forget that two months ago the Islamic regime massacred 40,000 people just for protesting for a free Iran.
Now, during this 2-week ceasefire, the same regime has started executing tens of thousands of those who were arrested.
The revolution in Iran started with the people and it will end with the people and their ultimate victory over the Islamic Republic.
Whatever twists and turns the diplomatic process takes, the fundamentals of the Islamic regime have not changed. Not from the standpoint of ninety million Iranians who have lived under this tyranny for 47 years.
This is a regime that murdered 45,000 innocent protesters in just two days on January 8th and 9th of this year. A regime that is executing young protesters as we speak. A regime that has lost every shred of legitimacy it ever claimed to hold. No ceasefire, no agreement, no formula with the remnants of this regime changes that reality.
The military operations of recent weeks have weakened the regime's repressive machinery and fractured its command structure. The playing field is more level than it has been in decades. The people of Iran welcome this. It is what they called for on the streets of Iran and in the streets of cities around the world, in their millions. They want to see the regime's capacity for repression degraded further.
The Iranian people are determined to bring this regime down. They have had enough. They have always known that ultimately, while they welcome and appreciate international help, they would need to finish the job themselves. Because they will never accept this rump regime, the very same regime and same thugs that slaughtered them in the streets just two months ago.
Ali Khamenei is dead but the regime has not changed, because its nature and its DNA are unchangeable. We see it clearly at this very moment. This criminal cabal is still firing rockets at and violating the sovereignty of our neighbors. It is still threatening the United States and Europe. It is still inviting terrorist groups like Hezbollah, Hashd-al Shabi and others onto our soil to terrorize Iranians and prevent popular protests. It is still holding the people of Iran hostage with an Internet blackout that has lasted for more than one whole month, because it is still afraid of the people of Iran.
It is still afraid of their righteous rage, their demand for dignity, and their fight for freedom. They are afraid because they know the people’s fight will not cease. Nor should the world’s resolve.
This regime, weakened as it is, is not a reliable partner for any lasting arrangement. A wounded animal lashes out. It becomes more dangerous. That is what this regime will do. It is not sitting at the negotiation table out of good will. It is there, yet again, to buy time, to seek concessions, and to strengthen its hand to inflict more terror on Iranians and on the world. It won’t be tamed at the negotiation table, it can only be empowered and emboldened.
The right course is to see this through to its conclusion, to continue to set the conditions for the people of Iran to wage the final battle for liberation. To ensure that when Iranians again come to the streets, the regime is not able to crack down. But even if further help does not come, Iranians will fight on.
The regime will fall. That is a certainty. The only question is when, and how much more terror, blackmail, and suffering the world is prepared to tolerate in the meantime.
A free, democratic Iran restored to its civilizational roots is the only path to stability across the entire region. A country the international community can work with. An end to decades of proxy wars, gas price terrorism, nuclear brinksmanship, and hostage blackmail.
Iranians will not quit. They will not surrender. Mark my words: Iranians cannot be hidden from history. They are making history. Iranians will reclaim their liberty and their nation.
As I have told my compatriots: I hear you. I am with you. The world may be distracted today by the back and forth of diplomatic compromises, but your courage, your sacrifice, and your cries for liberty continue to be seen and heard. And they will not go unrewarded. You will not be forced to accept the remnants of this regime clinging to power. This battle will only end with your liberation.
You, like the other heroes of our history, will be recorded as great men and women who defied an illegitimate, tyrannical regime and reclaimed Iran for future generations.
I am with you until our ultimate victory. Until we reclaim Iran and we rebuild our beloved nation, hand in hand.
The struggle continues. We will see it through.
