Free Iran!

Iranians in London hold candlelight vigil for Lindsey Graham outside US Embassy https://t.co/CJR1pvStZR

[John LeFevre @JohnLeFevre]

I often criticized Lindsey Graham. But this weekend, I learned his full story:

- Orphaned young, he adopted & raised his little sister instead of letting her go into the system.

- Grew up dirt poor, racking balls in his parents’ pool hall.

- In search of opportunity, he joined the Air Force. Served 33 years. Retired a Colonel.

- Then spent decades in Congress, earning respect across the aisle.

- Bashed Trump hard in ~2016, then respected the will of the voters, and grew to become a loyal ally.

- Humble. Devoted to his constituents.

- Driven by patriotism (even when misguided). Never in it for the money. Could've cashed in any time like most of his colleagues.

- That Disney trip everyone mocked? Just a good uncle taking his beloved nieces. He smiled through (and ignored) the hate to protect his family.

RIP to a self-made American original.

I welcome the UK Government’s move to designate the IRGC as a state threat to national security, involved in threats to life and intimidation. This is an important and welcome move by @keir_starmer and reflects the growing threat from the regime in Iran to UK citizens and interests. I hope the UK and other Western governments will go one step further and back the Iranian people’s fight for freedom. There can be no peace as long as this regime survives.

We, the Iranian people, will never forget what you did for us. @LindseyGrahamSC
When the whole world turned a blind eye to the massacre in Iran, you were the only voice on Fox News screaming that our children were being slaughtered. You stood with us when almost no one else did.
Thank you, Uncle Lindsey. Thank you for reminding us that there are still people in this world who see us, who hear us, and who care.
Rest in peace 🥀
I still can’t believe I’m writing these words to you.

RIP
YOU WILL BE MISSED!

I already miss you, my friend.

@antonioguterres Who protected the thousands upon thousands of innocent Iranians during the January massacre? You were quick to congratulate their killers on their terrorist state 47th anniversary! The world will never forget!

I want to thank the Committee on Foreign Affairs of the Dutch House of Representatives for inviting me to speak today on behalf of millions of my compatriots fighting for liberty, justice, and democracy.

I am grateful to the Dutch police and parliamentary security services for their professionalism, assistance, and protection.

My heartfelt thanks also go to our Iranian compatriots who gathered respectfully outside Parliament to stand with the people of Iran.

The message I brought to The Hague was simple: the plight of the Iranian people must become the driving focus of international policy on Iran. Empowering them, not emboldening this regime, will bring lasting peace and stability.

No.

This is not regime change.

This is the receipt proving it has not happened yet.

Crown Prince Reza Pahlavi asked Americans to imagine an Iran that goes from “Death to America” to “God Bless America.”

That Iran exists.

I am writing from inside it.

It exists in the homes where people curse this regime under their breath.
In the phones people hide from checkpoints.
In the prisoners who refused to break.
In the mothers who buried children killed for wanting a normal country.
In the young Iranians who know the West is not our enemy.

But that Iran does not own the microphones yet.

The terrorist Islamic Regime occupying Iran does.

So when you see crowds chanting “Death to America,” understand what you are watching:

not Iran reborn,
not regime change,
not national will.

You are watching the prison guards scream from inside a prison they still control.

A free Iran will not export chants of death.

It will export talent, energy, friendship, trade, art, science, and peace.

That is the Iran waiting behind the guns.

Do not confuse the occupier’s noise with the nation’s soul.

Help us finish this.

@DrNeilStone I hear that people were so happy that moosh Ali died, that they need 6 days to celebrate it

To the foreign representatives in Tehran to mourn Iran’s deceased dictator, Ali Khamenei: Iran is not mourning him.

Iran is mourning more than 40,000 sons and daughters slaughtered on January 8 and 9 by Khamenei, Ghalibaf, and their machinery of repression.

The regime is spending vast amounts of the Iranian people's wealth to stage this propaganda spectacle, yet not a single democratic leader attended.

What you see today is not a nation in grief for its ruler. It is a nation filled with righteous anger, and that anger and heroic bravery will bring down what remains of this criminal regime.

@RJKonrad @CIDI_nieuws Wat een sneue tweet.

@PolitlcsGlobal Iran has no place in the World Cup.

It's occupied by an evil, genocidal Islamist regime.

[Ahmed Khalifa @_A_khalifa]

Messages are pouring in
from Tehran & every city in Iran!

“ARM US!”

Don’t leave the honorable
Iranians to stand alone in this fight!

FREE IRAN!

@CENTCOM FINISH THE JOB!!

[Mark R. Levin @marklevinshow]

ARM THEM!

HAVE WE HAD ENOUGH YET!

🚨 DIRECT FROM INSIDE IRAN: "Arm us."

This video was just transmitted directly to me from a woman inside Iran. She is taking a massive risk to smuggle this footage to the outside world because she needs the international community to understand the reality on the ground.

Her message is not a symbolic plea. For her, and for the millions she represents, this is a tactical necessity for survival. She is showing the world that peaceful protest against this regime is an impossibility.

The objective reality driving her demand is clear. Since the uprising erupted in December 2025, the state's violence has been absolute. Security forces are documented repeatedly opening fire with live ammunition directly into unarmed demonstrations, and tens of thousands of civilians have already been killed.

The Iranian people are facing an apparatus fully willing to execute its own citizens to retain power. They are not asking for foreign boots on the ground. They are asking for the basic means to defend themselves against a systemic slaughter.

She risked her life to bypass the blackouts and get this video out. The world needs to confront this reality.
