I have been raging all day about this. In 2022 Australia issued a tourist visa to Majid Khademi, then the Head of counter-espionage within the IRGC's Intelligence Organisation. Khademi went on to become the head of the entire organisation before he was killed in an airstrike just days ago. This shocking revelation only came to light because of an FOI request by the @australian
My head is still spinning. IRGC Intelligence arrested me in 2018 and subjected me to a sham trial, psychological torture, sexual harassment and gross violations of my human rights.
They extorted Australia to arrange the release of 3 convicted terrorists in exchange for my freedom. They arrested 3 other Australians at the same time as me to further pile on the pressure. Then, two years after my release, in the middle of the Woman, Life, Freedom movement, we allow one of the top leaders of IRGC-Intel into Australia on a tourist visa.
We can assume Khademi wasn't here to check out the Opera House or dive the Great Barrier Reef.
What on earth are our security agencies doing to let this slip through? And what else have they missed? This negligence directly endangers myself and every Iranian-Australian who has found themselves a target of transnational repression coming out of Iran. How safe should we really be feeling here in our own country? And who else have they allowed to sneak in through the front door?

I’m writing this through a connection so small it feels like a crack in the window.
99% of the country can’t even get online that’s why you don't see videos or images from inside.
In Tehran and Karaj, every time people hear an explosion, they cheer from their windows and rooftops.
They chant slogans and celebrate because another terrorist base of the regime has been hit.
I’m sure the rest of Iran is exactly the same.
To all honorable Iranians abroad:
Be our voice
louder and more decisive than ever.
Take to the streets and flood the internet with one clear demand:
Trump
DO NOT STOP the attacks.
Right now every mosque and religious gathering hall has been turned into military bases for the IRGC and repression forces.
At Tehran’s Mosalla, dozens of repression vehicles are parked and being prepared.Prove to @realDonaldTrump@netanyahu@IDF@CENTCOM
that these are no longer religious sites
they are official regime military bases.
Bomb them.
The people of Iran do NOT want these places anymore.
This has nothing to do with religion they have become fortresses of terror and must be destroyed.
Also strike the homes of the reformists they are the main anti-Israel and anti-America operators inside the regime.
My connection is too slow to push this properly so please tag everyone you can.
We will take to the streets at the right moment.
We will win.
Long live Iran!

An Iranian tells you why the anti-brain Free Palestine mob is not calling to Free Iran:
hey keep asking the same question: Why are lefties—why are the loudest pro-Gaza voices—completely silent when it comes to Iran?
Well, the answer is simple: because the truth exposes the lie. Because acknowledging Iran would shatter the ideological fantasy that they've built.
Let's be clear: the Islamic Republic of Iran is not a victim of Western imperialism. It is a theocratic authoritarian regime that survives by exporting violence, funding Islamists, and crushing its own people.
And yes, it funds Hamas, it funds Hezbollah, it funds all the little proxies around the region and around the world with Iranian people's money—not the government’s money, not the regime’s money—stolen money, stolen money taken from the worker who cannot afford bread in Iran right now.
Families crushed by inflation, taken from women who are beaten, jailed, tortured, raped for refusing religious obedience. And this is why lefties are silent: because Hamas fits their narrative, but Iranian people don’t. Because Islamist violence against Israelis can be reframed as resistance, but Islamist violence against Iranians exposes the truth.
Right now Iran, a country of more than 92 million people, is being erased in real time. Near total blackout, no internet, no call services, no connectivity whatsoever. And yet, silence. No emergency protests on Western campuses, no hashtags, no solidarity statements, no megaphones, no tears.
Because Iranian suffering does not fit their agenda. Because leftist movements today are not driven by human rights, they are driven by selective outrage and ideological loyalty. They will scream about censorship unless it’s done by an Islamist regime. They will condemn state violence unless it’s wrapped in religious language.
They will chant “Free Palestine” but they will never say “Free Iran” because that would require admitting something unforgivable: that political Islam is not liberation, it is domination.
And that is exactly what’s been happening in the West by the way—that the Islamic Republic is not anti-imperialist, it is imperial toward its own people. That Hamas is not some isolated resistance group, it is part of a broader Islamist ecosystem that is funded, trained, and sustained by regimes like the Islamic Republic in Iran.
And here’s the part that they do not want to hear: you cannot claim moral superiority while excusing a regime that kills and murders women for refusing hijab, executes protesters, cuts off a whole nation of 92 million people from the internet, and uses foreign proxies as a distraction from its internal collapse. You cannot pretend to care about Palestinians while ignoring Iranians being shot, tortured, and murdered by the Islamic Republic in Iran.
That is not solidarity—that is ideological blindness. Iranian people are not silent, they are being silenced.
And the silence from the Western left? Well, that’s a choice. A choice to protect an ideology, a choice to excuse Islamism, a choice to look away when millions of people are suffering because their suffering, Iranian people’s suffering, complicates a slogan. History will remember this moment. It will remember who spoke for universal freedom and who decided that some lives matter less than preserving a narrative. Long live Iran."
'Where are the same people who cared so much about Palestine, for your cause?'
'I want to thank them for staying out of our way!'

If this was a photo of Gaza, there would not be a single media outlet that didn’t have this on the front page. It’s not Gaza. It’s Iran.

One of the most seismic events in world history is occurring as we speak in Iran and Australia's self absorbed activist class focus entirely on tweeting about the Adelaide Writers Festival.
