I am a woman from Iran. Let me tell you honestly how women like me see politicians like you in America, women who speak about freedom from the safety of Congress while sympathizing with our killers under Islamic regimes.
You stand next to the American flag, speaking about freedom. Now you launch campaigns saying, “No War With Iran.”
Now I want to introduce you to a brave Iranian woman who understood America better than you ever will.
Her name is Sara Saeidi.
Born and raised in Iran.
39 years old.
A mother of two daughters, 19 and 6.
She was shot in the head for the “crime” of peacefully protesting while wearing a sweatshirt that said MANHATTAN, with the American flag beneath it.
While you stood in Congress under that flag, she carried its name on her chest, not as symbolism for a photo opportunity but as a dream.
Three days after she was killed, her body was returned to her family only after threats and money were taken from them. They were banned from holding a proper funeral. Authorities falsified the circumstances of her death.
That is the regime you refuse to confront clearly.
She wanted the freedom Manhattan represents, the freedom to live without fear, without morality police, without a bullet in her head. The same freedom protected by the Constitution you swore to uphold.
You speak of “No War With Iran,” but you refuse to condemn the war being waged against us, the Iranian people, by the Islamic Republic.
More than 30,000 unarmed civilians have been killed.
Women blinded.
Teenagers hanged.
Mothers executed.
When American lawmakers like you reduce this reality to a partisan talking point, you do the regime’s work for it. Dictatorships thrive when moral clarity disappears and when lawmakers choose ambiguity instead of standing firmly with victims.
You call yourself anti war. But where is your condemnation of the regime’s massacre? Where is your outrage at its war against its own people? You are anti-Iranian women.💔
Peace without justice is surrender.
Your hatred of President Trump appears stronger than your love for America, stronger than your love for Manhattan, for freedom, for women’s rights. That is why you sound sympathetic to the Islamic Republic while remaining silent about women like Sara, like me, and like millions of Iranians who are victims of this barbaric regime.
You celebrating hijab day in Manhattan in beautiful New York and watching women get killed in Iran for not wearing hijab.
I dare you to share the picture of Sara, and say no to the war being wage by Islamist terrorist on us, Iranians.
Song of the Future honors the schoolgirl uprising in Iran and the life of 16-year-old Sarina Esmailzadeh, one of thousands of Iranian schoolgirls who took to the streets as part of the Woman, Life, Freedom movement in 2022. These protests were sparked by the death of Jina Mahsa Amini, a young Kurdish-Iranian woman who died in Tehran on 16th September that year from injuries sustained following her arrest by the so-called ‘morality police’ for not wearing a hijab in accordance with government standards. Seven days later, Sarina was beaten by the Iranian security forces and died from her injuries, the regime claiming she killed herself. The song aims to capture Sarina’s free spirit, the promise and hope of her short life.

@MarkRuffalo I wish I hadn’t seen this tweet of yours, Mark. I used to like your movies, and now I feel like I can’t watch any film you’re in anymore. I just wish that, at the very least, you had spoken once about the tragedy that has happened in Iran before posting this tweet.
Under the UK’s Iran Sanctions Regulations 2023, UK nationals are bound by sanctions law wherever they are in the world. They are prohibited from dealing with the funds or economic resources of a designated person, or from receiving economic resources from a designated entity, without a licence from the Office of Financial Sanctions Implementation (OFSI).
“Economic resources” does not just mean cash. It includes flights, hotels, hospitality, logistics and other travel expenses provided in kind.
The Islamic regime has publicly documented that it allocated approximately $20 million to bring foreign influencers to Iran for the purpose of improving the regime’s image. State media has acknowledged these programs in writing, and the Tehran Municipality has admitted they covered expenses of hotels and travel fees for previous delegations (Nov 2024). Even more concerning, regime-aligned media has reported that some of the related contracts and tenders appear to have been removed from the state “transparency” portal.
If Bushra Shaikh accepted travel and accommodation funded through the regime that could constitute a prohibited dealing under UK sanctions law unless a specific OFSI licence was obtained. This is not about speech. It is about whether economic resources from a sanctioned regime were provided to a UK person.
Given the regime’s own admission that it funds foreign influencers through in-kind payments to sanitize its image, there are sufficient grounds for UK authorities to investigate whether Bushra Shaikh violated UK sanctions law.
NO JOKE: The Islamic regime in Iran has just been elected as Vice-Chair of the U.N. Commission for Social Development, whose priority theme will be promoting democracy, gender equality, and ensuring tolerance and non-violence.
Chair: “I hear no objection.”
😳 WTF, I shit you not …
The Islamic Republic of Iran has just been elected Vice-Chair of the UN Commission for Social Development from February 2027.
Read that again!
A brutal regime that last week murdered thousands of protesters, jails dissidents, polices women’s clothing, and executes critics… is now in a leadership role at a UN body responsible for advancing social progress.
These people are insane and we are forced to fund them 💣
Dear Secretary-General Guterres,
I am writing to you on behalf of United Nations Watch, an independent human rights organization dedicated to holding the UN accountable to its founding principles. It has come to our attention that Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi is scheduled to address the UN Human Rights Council on February 23, 2026, in your presence.
A key figure in the Iranian regime, Mr. Araghchi has been implicated in grave violations of human rights, including crimes against humanity. His involvement in the regime's systematic repression, including the brutal crackdowns on protesters, executions, and support for terrorist activities, renders his participation in a body devoted to human rights utterly incompatible with the UN's Charter and the Council's mandate. Allowing him to speak would send a dangerous message that the UN tolerates and platforms mass murderers.
We urgently call on you to disinvite Foreign Minister Araghchi from this event. Failure to do so will compel us to urge Swiss authorities to pursue his arrest for crimes against humanity upon his arrival in Geneva, in accordance with international law and Switzerland's obligations under the Rome Statute. The UN must not provide a stage for those who perpetrate atrocities against their own people and threaten global peace.
Furthermore, reports today in Iranian state media indicate that you sent a congratulatory message to President Masoud Pezeshkian on the 47th anniversary of the Islamic Revolution's victory. This message, as described, extends "warmest congratulations" to a regime notorious for its decades-long record of oppression, including the killing, raping, and murdering of Iranians in the name of its ideology.
The world deserves transparency on this matter. We therefore demand that you immediately release the full text of this letter to the public, allowing for scrutiny and accountability. If the reports are authentic, we urge you to explain how congratulating a regime responsible for ongoing massacres serves the cause of peace and justice.
The United Nations was established to prevent the recurrence of the horrors of the past, not to celebrate or enable those who commit them. We implore you to act decisively in defense of the UN's integrity and the victims of the Iranian regime's abuses. We look forward to your prompt response and actions on these critical issues.
Sincerely,
Hillel C. Neuer
Executive Director
