وقتی جهان جام جهانی ۲۰۲۶ را تماشا می‌کند، میلیون‌ها ایرانی به کسانی فکر می‌کنند که باید امروز اینجا می‌بودند.

فوتبالیست‌ها، ورزشکاران، هواداران فوتبال و جوانانی که برای آزادی کشته، اعدام و زندانی شدند.

تیم واقعی ایران، مردم ایران‌ هستند.

CPJ and RSF are warning that the #Iranian government is using an ongoing 83-day nationwide internet blackout to hide a severe crackdown on independent media and call on Iranian authorities to immediately restore full internet access across the country, cease all judicial harassment and arbitrary detentions of media workers, and release all journalists imprisoned for their reporting.

You cannot preach inclusion while banning a symbol tied to millions of Iranians.

Iran existed long before any regime and will endure long after one.

The Lion and Sun is more than a flag: it is hope carried through revolution and repression, not something FIFA gets to regulate.

[Iran International English @IranIntl_En]

FIFA plans to again prohibit fans from bringing pre-revolutionary Iranian flags and related apparel into World Cup stadiums, The Athletic reported.

The flag, featuring the lion and sun emblem used before the 1979 revolution, is widely displayed by members of the Iranian diaspora as a symbol of identity and protest against Iran’s government.

When asked by The Athletic whether the flags or related apparel would be allowed at venues during the 2026 tournament, FIFA responded by referring to its stadium code of conduct banning political or discriminatory materials.

During the 2022 World Cup in Qatar, fans carrying the flag or anti-government messages were blocked from entering some stadiums.

This is disgusting. The cowards at FIFA have stated they plan to ban the Lion and Sun flag of Iran at the World Cup because they reject “political statements”

But allowing the Islamic regime flag with Islamic symbols is not political?! The flag they used to spread their jihadist death cult ideology around the world? The use all of sports and the athletes to advance their ideology, but FIFA is fine with that.

SECRETARY RUBIO: President Trump is heartbroken for Iranians who don’t have freedom. It’s heartbreaking to him to see that these people are abused and have no measures to take against their own government as a result of it.

.@SecRubio on the Iranian people: "I don't know of any country in the world where there's a bigger difference between the people and the people who run the country."

[Richard Nixon Foundation @nixonfoundation]

Richard Nixon and the Shah of Iran shared one of the most consequential friendships of the Cold War.

The lesson here is simple: if America won’t stand by her friends when it’s costly, she shouldn’t expect to have friends when it matters.

PRESIDENT TRUMP: The Iranian regime killed 42,000 innocent, non-weapon carrying people for protesting. This is a rough group, but we have decimated them and their economy is a disaster.

[Reza Pahlavi @PahlaviReza]

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.

[Reza Pahlavi @PahlaviReza]

We are relieved that President Trump and the First Lady, along with the Cabinet members in attendance at the White House Correspondents Dinner, are unharmed.

This attack on the American President and American democracy is appalling.

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."

[The White House @WhiteHouse]

"To the Iranian leaders, who will soon be in negotiations with my representatives: I would greatly appreciate the release of these women. I am sure that they will respect the fact that you did so. Please do them no harm! Would be a great start to our negotiations!!!" - President Donald J. Trump 🇺🇸

[Masih Alinejad 🏳️ @AlinejadMasih]

After killing her, Iran’s security forces stormed the morgue, sexually abused, and sent the images to her husband as a weapon of terror.

Today in a deeply disturbing case, Ahmad Khodaei, husband of Salehe Akbari, an Iranian nurse who secretly helped wounded protester during the January uprising, has reportedly attempted suicide following months of pressure, threats, and alleged abuse by Iranian security forces.

Ahmad had sent me all the evidence the psychological torture he endured, and the details of how his wife was shot directly to my Instagram.

Today, I was shocked to learn that he has attempted suicide.

Akbari, a nurse and outdoor enthusiast, was shot dead inside her home during a raid by security agents. Ahmad was beaten, detained for 11 days, and repeatedly threatened to remain silent about what he witnessed.

Khodaei said that after killing his wife, agents later accessed her body in the morgue and committed acts of sexual abuse, sending him images in what appears to be a deliberate attempt to psychologically torture him.

The couple had been helping injured protesters seek medical care, avoiding state-run hospitals out of fear of arrest. Days later, their home was targeted.

Following his release from detention, Ahmad have faced ongoing harassment and intimidation. The sustained psychological pressure have driven him to attempt to take his own life. His current condition remains unclear.

This is what a brutal regime does when it fears its own people.

Salehe and Ahmad were a young couple in love, their lives filled with hope, their days filled with purpose. They were saving the lives the wounded. And for that, she was shot in her home.
He was detained, threatened, and psychologically broken.

The world cannot look away.
