Gold Star wife here.

When ISIS killed your wife, you supported going after the people responsible. You understood exactly why we were fighting and never called it “Israel’s war.”

My husband, Alan, was killed by Iranian proxies in Iraq. And now, after decades, the fight is finally leading back to the number one state sponsor of terrorism in the world.

You understood it when it was your loss. Now you’re minimizing it when it’s mine.

You don’t get to redefine this war just because it’s not your grief anymore.

Twenty-four hours ago there were seven countries in this conflict. Now there are twelve. By Monday there will be more.

Here is the full picture no single news feed is giving you.

Israel struck Tehran, Isfahan, Qom, Karaj, Kermanshah, Tabriz, and Lorestan in a single coordinated operation timed to the moment Iran’s senior leadership gathered in one room. Daylight strikes at 8:15 a.m. because the target was not infrastructure. The target was a meeting. Months of intelligence. One window. The first Israeli strike in history designed not to destroy a program but to decapitate a government.

Iran answered by firing missiles at every American installation it could reach. Bahrain’s Fifth Fleet headquarters. Al Dhafra in the UAE. Al Udeid in Qatar. Ali Al Salem in Kuwait. Jordan shot down two ballistic missiles over its own territory. One civilian killed in Abu Dhabi from debris. Every Gulf defense system activated simultaneously for the first time. Most intercepts succeeded. Iran demonstrated range. It failed to demonstrate precision.

And then the dominoes fell.

Saudi Arabia, which four weeks ago personally promised Tehran it would never allow its territory to be used against Iran, released a statement pledging “all its capabilities” to support every attacked nation in “all measures they take.” Dubai shut down both international airports indefinitely. 280 flights canceled. Emirates, Etihad, Qatar Airways, Turkish Airlines, Air India, Lufthansa, British Airways grounded or rerouting. The busiest international aviation hub on earth went dark because Iranian missiles were crossing its airspace.

Now watch what is moving in the shadows. Russia signed a 500-unit Verba MANPADS deal with Iran in December. China is finalizing CM-302 anti-ship missiles for the IRGC navy. Joint Russia-China-Iran naval drills ran through the Strait of Hormuz eleven days ago. But when the strikes landed, Moscow issued a statement. Beijing issued a statement. Neither moved a ship, a plane, or a soldier.

Russia called it “unprovoked armed aggression.” China called it “extremely dangerous hegemonic bullying.” Then both sat on their hands while their ally absorbed precision strikes on its capital and fired missiles into six sovereign nations, building the very coalition Russia and China spent a decade trying to prevent.

Iran needed its allies to act. They wrote press releases.

This is the architecture of isolation. In 48 hours Iran went from a nation with diplomatic channels to Oman, trade ties to China, arms deals with Russia, and détente with Saudi Arabia to a nation that attacked its own mediators, exhausted its missiles against interceptors, and watched its partners choose words over weapons.

The regime that survived the June war. The regime that survived 32,000 protester deaths. The regime that survived economic collapse. That regime now faces precision strikes, a six-nation coalition, closed airspace, frozen diplomacy, and allies who condemn on television what they will not contest on the battlefield.

The war is 24 hours old. Iran is already alone. https://t.co/BrzGRrU3VW

So much to say as an Iranian American who has devoted my entire career to the promise of a moment like this, and now it is finally here. It feels surreal to witness the jubilation of Iranians who have literally sacrificed their children for such a day, and who are now pouring into the streets in celebration. 💚🤍❤️

It is hard to fathom a people so desperate for justice, so hungry for freedom, that they are cheering military strikes on their own soil as the price of liberation. At the same time, it is deeply frustrating to watch voices on social media in the United States dismiss this as nothing more than a war for the military‑industrial complex or for Israel, as if the fact that others may benefit from the downfall of this regime somehow cancels out the urgency of the threat it poses to our own national security.

Let me be very clear: America did not start a war with the Islamic Republic. The regime declared war on us in 1979, when militants stormed our embassy in Tehran, seized American diplomats, and held 52 of them hostage for 444 days. Since then, the regime and its proxies have targeted our service members, our diplomats, and our partners across the region through terrorism, rocket and drone attacks, and assassination plots.

They have built and directed a vast network of militias and terrorist organizations that have attacked U.S. forces and allies in Lebanon, Iraq, the Persian Gulf, and beyond, and they continue to explore options for asymmetric attacks, including the potential use of covert operatives and sleeper cells right here against Americans at home and abroad. This has been the regime’s established playbook for nearly 50 years; it's just that most American presidents decided to ignore or in some cases, fuel, this threat.

So no, President Trump did not “start” a war with Iran’s regime. Together with Prime Minister Netanyahu, he made the difficult and consequential decision to confront and, ultimately, end it. And yes, the Iranian people, the broader Middle East, and we Americans will be safer for generations for it.

The Islamic Regime is not execution Iranians— It’s lynching them!

Execution requires a legitimate court, due process, and a proven crime.

The Islamic regime in Iran is an illegal occupying power—with no lawful justice system, no democratic mandate, and no legitimacy derived from the Iranian people.
The civilians it kills committed no crimes.

This is not execution.
It is the lynching of civilians.

By definition, this constitutes crimes against humanity.

Under international law, Iranians have the right to defend their lives against a genocidal occupation force using all necessary means.

The international community therefore has a legal and moral duty to act—through diplomatic, economic, and urgently necessary military measures—to stop the mass slaughter of a civilization by an illegitimate, terror-linked regime responsible for documented atrocities.

I’m now in the depression phase on the situation in Iran.

From anger to numbness, and now depression.

Will be back to anger soon.

[Eyal Yakoby @EYakoby]

20,000-40,000 Iranians have been murdered by the Islamic Republic since President Trump posted this.

[Omid Djalili @omid9]

Based on verification of images, reports and comparative investigative analysis by the International Centre for Human Rights, to date approximately 43,000 people have been killed, 350,000 injured, 20,000 arrested and await possible execution.

“Taken together, ICHR believes that this body of evidence, methods, and data presents a clear picture of a systematic and organized campaign of repression and mass killing; one that may silence the streets in the short term, but will not resolve the underlying crisis.

Silence by the international community in the face of such violent repression and crimes against humanity will only enable the repetition and escalation of these atrocities.”

Personal message from a friend of mine — uncensored:

“We keep getting cut off, so I’ll summarize. Everything I’m sharing comes from close, trusted chains—friends of friends, never more than three degrees away.

Tehran was in the millions. Every neighborhood was packed. There wasn’t a single area that wasn’t overflowing with people.

They killed indiscriminately. In Nezamabad, police arrived on Friday, jumped out of their vehicles, raised Kalashnikovs, and opened fire on civilians without hesitation.
One person was shot and lost hearing in one ear.
A cousin of a friend was shot at close range with a shotgun—by a miracle he survived, with 18 pellets in his brain.

At Labbafi-Nejad Hospital, the director is aligned with them. Anyone with an eye injury has their eye removed, even if the damage is minor.

They’ve arrested so many that there’s no space in prisons—people can’t even lie down. They’re held sitting, crammed into sports halls, prayer rooms, even bathrooms.

In Karaj, two friends were at home. Someone else in their alley was chanting with a loudspeaker. Thirty minutes later, officers stormed their house by mistake, beat them brutally, trashed the place searching for the loudspeaker—and left only after realizing they were wrong.

Some people were shot dead at their own doorsteps—fired upon in alleys, even those standing right outside their homes.

From Mashhad, we heard of a massacre—reports that nearly 2,000 people from one village were killed (third-hand account).

In hospitals, families were sometimes forced to falsify causes of death just to bury their loved ones. Later, the IRGC discovered the burials, exhumed the bodies, and ordered reburials under their control—allowing only three family members to attend.”

My response to him:
“This will be recorded by history.
There is no doubt: they have made Saddam, Gaddafi, and Assad combined look restrained.
But make no mistake—they have dug their own grave.”

مصاحبه یک بازنشسته ارتش امریکا را با رادیو گوش می‌دادم که کاش می‌توانستم آن را ضبط، و اینجا منتشر کنم.

در پاسخ به این پرسش که چه روز و زمان�� می‌توانیم انتظار رخداد این حمله را داشته باشیم گفت که این عملیات می‌تواند پیچیده ترین عملیات‌ ارتش ایالات متحده در تاریخ این کشور باشد، از هیچ جهت قابل مقایسه با حمله پیشین به تاسیسات هسته‌ای یا عملیات در خاک ونزوئلا نیست، و فاکتورهای متعددی باید با دقت محاسبه و بررسی شوند.

برداشت من این بود که:
۱.قطعا امریکا از محل دقیق خامنه‌ای آگاه است، اما به احتمال بسیار زیاد او برخلاف تصورها، در مکانی پنهان شده که جمعیت زیادی از مردم ایران سپر انسانی او قرار داده شده‌اند.
۲.این عملیات باید طوری پیش برود که به جان ‌و اموال مردم عادی آسیبی وارد نشود .
۳.عملیات زمینی نیست و هوایی است و این اوضاع را بمراتب پیچیده‌تر می‌کند.

همه ما ایرانیان، این بار در کنار بسیاری از مردم جهان از جمله خود امریکایی‌ها! منتظر لحظه اعلام حمله به رژیم هستیم، اما دوستان، باورکنید پرخاش به اکانت‌های تیم ترامپ واقعا هیچ چیز را جلو نمی‌اندازد.

امریکایی‌ها در توییتر و…می‌گویند که برای سربازان امریکایی در عملیات پیش رو دعا کنید، تا با موفقیت و به سلامت برگردند. بهتر است با آنها همراه شویم، ازشان سپاسگزاری کنیم که کنار مردم آزادی‌خواه ایران ایستاده‌اند، و از حجم جنایات خامنه‌ای و خطری که زنده بودن رژیم، برای جامعه جهانی داشته و دارند آگاه‌ترشان کنیم.

Dear UN Secretary General @AntonioGuterres:
Dear UN High Commissioner for Human Rights @Volker_Turk:

On behalf of UN Watch, we write to express our outrage at the horrific mass killings of protesters by the Islamic Republic of Iran.

We call on you without delay to ensure emergency action by the United Nations to address the Islamic regime’s assault against the people of Iran, which amounts to grave, widespread and systematic violations of fundamental human rights.

Since December 28th, large-scale protests have erupted across Iran, reflecting longstanding demands of the Iranian people for fundamental rights, dignity, and accountability.

The response of the regime has been marked by extreme and unlawful violence. Latest reports estimate that over 3,000 protesters have been killed by the regime since the demonstrations began, and more than 10,000 injured, and many more arbitrarily detained or forcibly disappeared. Bodies are piling up in makeshift morgues.

Regime security forces have used live ammunition against unarmed civilians, carried out mass arrests, and subjected detainees to torture and other ill-treatment.

Detainees have been denied access to lawyers, family members, and medical care. Journalists, students, women, human rights defenders, and members of ethnic and religious minorities have been deliberately targeted.

Internet shutdowns and severe restrictions on information have further obscured the full scale of violations and impeded independent scrutiny.

These acts constitute serious violations of international human rights law and amount to crimes under international law. They stand in direct contravention of the Islamic Republic's obligations under the United Nations Charter and core international human rights treaties, including protections for the right to life, freedom of expression, peaceful assembly, and due process.

The continuing failure of the international community to respond decisively risks enabling further bloodshed and repression. At this critical juncture, decisive leadership from the United Nations system and its Member States is indispensable.

We therefore urgently call on you to:

• Call for the convening of an emergency session of the United Nations Security Council, the General Assembly, and the Human Rights Council, to address the rapidly deteriorating human rights situation in Iran;

• Publicly and unequivocally condemn the horrific killing of protesters and other grave violations of international law committed by Iranian authorities;

• Demand the establishment of independent, international investigative mechanisms to ensure documentation, accountability, and justice;

• Demand the immediate release of all individuals arbitrarily detained for exercising their fundamental rights; and

• Ensure sustained UN monitoring and reporting on Iran until the violence and repression cease.

The people of Iran are risking—and losing—their lives for the peaceful exercise of rights guaranteed under international law. You must ensure that the voices of Iranian protesters are heard, protected, and upheld.

The credibility of the United Nations depends on a response that matches the scale and urgency of this crisis.

Sincerely,
Hillel C. Neuer
Executive Director
United Nations Watch
