Look at the kind of person the Islamists murdered in the name of their apocalyptic ideology. A brilliant young mind with a future that should have belonged to science, innovation, and life erased by a regime obsessed with death.
What kind of world is this, where educated, talented young people are executed while fanatics sit in power?
💸 #Iran's internet blackout is now past hour 1776, entering its 75th day. The digital censorship measure has led to profiteering and a decline in digital security as government-backed "pro" internet schemes and selective whitelisting result in surveillance, corruption and scams.
جمهوری اسلامی ۴۷ سال است علیه آمریکا و متحدانش جنگ به راه انداخته. امروز این رژیم از همیشه ضعیفتر است و مردم ایران آمادهاند تا آن را سرنگون کنند. اتخاذ سیاستی درست در این لحظه، میتواند قرن آینده را تغییر دهد. مشتاقم که فردا در «نشست امنیتی پولیتیکو» درباره این موضوع گفتگو کنم.
This morning the Islamic Republic announced the execution of three more protesters: #Mehdi_Rasouli#MohammadReza_Miri and #Ebrahim_Dolatabadi who were arrested during December protests in Mashhad and sentenced to death after sham trials.
If the international community does not respond to this grave injustice soon there’s a serious risk of hundreds of executions in the coming weeks as the regime expedites the killings of their own people as a deterrent to another (imminent) uprising.
⏱️ It's now the 66th consecutive day of #Iran's internet blackout with the censorship measure surpassing 1560 hours. Despite the distribution of some international access via pro-regime channels, metrics confirm that there is still no restoration of service to the general public.
#⃣ It's now the 56th day of #Iran's internet blackout, with international connectivity severed for over 1320 hours. The measure, the longest recorded national internet shutdown in a connected society, continues while conditions deteriorate amid warfare and reported executions.
The United States restored internet to Egypt in 2011. We have Starlink. We fund the circumvention tools. The capability is right there.
So what is the problem? Why isn’t Washington putting real pressure on the companies that can connect Iran?
Ninety million people are disconnected from the internet and from the world, and we are acting like there is nothing we can do.

This is not a war scene attacking the US and Israel on Iran, this is war scene Islamic regime opening machine gun on empty hands protesters.
Just in one street, just small peace of what happened on January 8 and 9.
Now the message is to the world: go ahead and deal with them!
