I’m deeply saddened to hear of the loss of Marjane Satrapi.

Marjane was a towering artist, a singular voice, and a steadfast advocate for the Iranian people. Beyond her remarkable achievements, I will remember a woman of extraordinary passion and heart.

We bonded over our shared love for Iran, our connection to Rasht, and a belief in the power of art to transcend politics.

When her beloved husband, Mattias, died last year, she spoke of a grief that had become a fire—one that grew larger, not smaller, with time. It was impossibles to read her words and not be moved by the depth of her love and loss.

The world knew her as the creator of Persepolis. I will remember her sharp wit, fearless candor, and unwavering love for our homeland.

Marjane leaves behind an extraordinary legacy—not only through her work, but through the authenticity with which she moved through the world.

Rest gently, dear Marjane.

🚨 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.

[Luai Ahmed @JustLuai]

Dear Iranians, I am sorry.

I am sorry the world has failed you.

I am sorry Muslims and Arabs have failed you.

I am sorry you are executed for speaking out in Iran and get called Islamophobic when do it in the West.

I am sorry the West thinks Iraq is the same as Iran.

I am sorry they use Zionism and Palestine to silence you.

I am sorry the word sorry is not enough.

[Vivid.🇮🇱 @VividProwess]

Remember 19-year-old Diana Bahadour, who was shot and killed by the Islamic regime’s security forces for protesting for a free Iran.

She had her whole life ahead of her.

Never forget the evil of the Islamic regime in Iran.

‼️ EXECUTION ALERT
‼️MEHDI IMANI‼️

Mehdi Imani, one of the Ekbatan defendants, has reportedly been sentenced to death.

He is one of the young protesters arrested in the Ekbatan case a case marked by pressure, disputed accusations, and repeated denials of guilt.

Now his life is at risk.
A court can write a death sentence.
It cannot turn injustice into truth.
Do not let Mehdi Imani be executed in silence.
#بچه_های_اکباتان

[Hamidreza @justchangingun]

The Islamic Republic is preparing to execute four young men as reports of a possible deal with the United States dominate headlines.

Milad Armoon, Navid Najjaran, Mehdi Imani, and Mohammad Mehdi Hosseini have already spent more than four years behind bars.

While the world talks about negotiations, the executions continue.

[Neo @Realneo101]

🔴DON’T LOOK AWAY

The Islamic regime is going to hang Milad Armoun simply for protesting.

He was tortured, forced to confess, and now faces death for demanding freedom.

This is pure barbarism.
Share this before they kill him.

[Masih Alinejad 🏳️ @AlinejadMasih]

While Trump negotiates a deal with the Islamic Republic, a deal with zero human rights clauses, regime is hanging people in silence. Today they hanged another innocent Iranian.

Mojtaba Kian was arrested, tried, and executed in less than 50 days.

All of it happened under a 13-week internet blackout the longest state-imposed digital blackout in human history.

No witnesses. No international pressure. No chance for his family to scream for help.

You cannot make peace with a regime that executes their own people faster than the world can count them.

None of the U.S. presidents included human rights as a central condition in their nuclear deals with the Islamic Republic. That omission gave the regime power, money, legitimacy, and time while the Iranian people paid the price.
💔

[Kusha @kusha_alagband]

I’ve been thinking about how everyone is gaming out a “potential” Iran deal. President Trump calls it “largely negotiated” and Don Jr, (shamelessly) is already hyping it as an absolute win, but nowhere in their victory lap are the Iranian people themselves. If the U.S. Navy has Iran blockaded and Tehran has no real air force or navy left, why are we talking about showering this regime with concessions at all? When you hold all the cards and still feel the need to bribe a terror state to act human, it does not look like America is the side that is winning. Meanwhile the IRGC is hanging protesters and political prisoners like Milad Armon, Mohammad‑Mehdi Hosseini, Navid Najaran and Mehdi Imani, young men who were told help was on the way and are instead walking to the gallows. @marklevinshow @LindseyGrahamSC

[Omid Djalili @omid9]

🚨 This Lego video is circulating supposedly telling you “how the Iranians, the real ones” feel. The AI video with AI rap says “I don’t want the politics, I don’t want the war, I just want to know their names, say their names”.

My first thought: “at last, the people inside Iran speak out!”

But no. It is a regime sponsored video, a sinister one too because it’s subtle. I don’t blame this lady at all. It pulls at the heart strings. But it’s a regime video. How do we know?

Firstly this differentiation between Iranians and “real Iranians”. They want you to see a divide. Now there are Iranians outside the country, and inside. Even the ones inside are split between white Sim card holders who can communicate with the world, known as ‘regime supporters’ and there’s the vast majority of people who have no Internet, known as ‘anti-regime protestors’. In this video “the real Iranians” are the ones holding the crab-like regime flag of Iran (2nd image) thus it’s regime sponsored. A regime that hates America. So anything in the video glorifying America is utter nonsense trying to manipulate.

Also the video only calls for the names of the “168” children in Minab. Where there has still been no independent investigation of the school bombing tragedy, where evidence is coming to light from the parents - currently being silenced - that there were two schools side by side, one with the children of IRGC commanders evacuated just in time, and the other which got hit had its doors purposefully locked from the outside. The intention being pupils from the Baluch minority (traditionally staunchly anti-regime) would be sacrificed by the regime to start a propaganda war. Propaganda the parents were forced to participate in.

This is coming from inside Minab covered by the intentional press. Which is exactly what we said would happen if a war started: the regime would sacrifice innocent Iranians, woman & children, anyone, to stay in power.

Of course the names of these children must be remembered - but in the correct context.

The video has ZERO mention of the daily executions of teenage protesters. ZERO mention of the enforced internet black out (now entering day 71) and ZERO mention the 40,000 slaughtered by the regime. This is the crucial context which the video conveniently leaves out.

If you are “legitimately choked up” by this video then here is news for you: you’ve completely fallen for the propaganda of a terrorist regime. Propaganda that seeks to appeal to the ONLY thing that will keep them in power:
American public opinion.

The way to end the war is to end the regime. The only thing that will bring peace to the entire region is to end the regime.

Anything less and the world is keeping a regime in power who have vowed to punish their own people, 14 million of whom were protesting, which got the attention of the world in the first place, and vowed to continue to export their ideology of hate and inflict even more tyranny on the world.

America. Stop VALIDATING the regime in Iran. Your validation of these videos is supporting the biggest terrorist organisation the world has ever seen.

[Alicia Kearns MP @aliciakearns]

I am going after the IRGC’s full ecosystem: the media titles that launder Tehran’s narratives, the centres hiding in our communities, and every individual recruiting, fundraising or working for the IRGC and its proxies on British soil.

This is not a warning.

It is a reckoning.

[Mackenzie @eatadickfarage]

:@krishgm you're right, it's hard to find accurate data when men with guns and ropes murder anybody reporting the truth.

Nevertheless, sources exist. Here are two significant ones.

1. GAMAAN recorded 80%+ opposition in 2024 https://t.co/XWw2JxPGjM

2. Leaked government polling showed 92% dissatisfaction in late 2025 https://t.co/L7Quti7Ajy

Critically, both of these polls were conducted before the government slaughtered 40,000+ in January. While the west barely seemed to notice, the bloodshed was an epochal event for Iranians. The already tenuous social contract was fundamentally and irreparably broken.

The pro-regime rallies we see so widely shared across feckless western news sources are a sham. No doubt with 5-10% of 92m people, the government is able to generate some genuine organic displays, but they still need to coerce attendees with food, cash, and legal leverage. https://t.co/uhXbhyeDga

Our families in Iran report the same thing. Obviously this is anecdotal and potentially biased, but everyone we speak to believes the government has less than 10% support. You can argue a percent here or there, but the fact is this is an overwhelming supermajority. This is not 52:48.

Of course the Islamic Republic itself indirectly confirms this. The internet remains blocked to everyone except approved propaganda voices, and they don't even trust their own footsoldiers any more, importing Hashd al Shaabi & Fatimayoon fighters en masse from Iraq & Afghanistan. If they had the support they claim, the internet would be open and Iranians would be manning the checkpoints. In fact there wouldn't be checkpoints at all.

So, it's fine to question. Omid answered you well. But the debate you present bears no relation to reality on the ground. To give you the benefit of the doubt, well-meaning journalists such as yourself are responsible for creating an image of Iranian society in the west that is miles from the truth.

Stop normalising this regime. It is a hostile occupying force holding hostage 85m+ lives for the sake of a dying depraved ideology. Use your platform to tell this truth, show the west what is going on. Talk about the executions happening every day. Talk about the celebrations when Khamenei was killed. Talk about the Iranian voices begging for the ceasefire to end, as nothing is more terrifying than being left alone with these barbarians.

I can help you do a journalism. DM me I'll show you sources, I'll put you in touch with Iranians who can attest to all of this. Omid is great, there are millions more.

[Elnaz Cadogan @e_cadogan]

@Bushra1Shaikh By temporary citizen security do you mean regime security to give them control over the narrative. Seriously - there is no way you are this stupid

[Elnaz Cadogan @e_cadogan]

@Bushra1Shaikh @omid9 @PahlaviReza And what will you say to the mothers of the thousands of young Iranians massacred by the state that you are now whitewashing? Shame on you.

[Masih Alinejad 🏳️ @AlinejadMasih]

This is urgent. This is personal. This is heartbreaking.

Kosar Eftekhari is not just another name, she is like a daughter to me.

She stood with my #WhiteWednesdays campaign against compulsory hijab instead Iran. She rose again during the “Woman, Life, Freedom” uprising after the murder of Mahsa Jina Armin in the hand of morality police, for that there’s gonna probably shot her in her eye and blinded her intentionally.

With Germany’s help, we could her to safety. Germany became her home, she’s trying to learn Germany. And now, her home in Berlin was attacked by unknown individuals.

Let that sink in.

A woman who survived state violence, who lost her eye for freedom, he chose to keep fighting, confronting a regime that fears fearless women. is now being targeted again, this time in Europe.
I call on everyone who can help her to find that the truth. She needs safety and Security because she’s young. She has a dream and she wants to be a Journalist a free fighter.
This is not just an attack on Kosar. This is an attack on safety, on freedom, on the promise of refuge.

I am deeply worried about her.

[Elnaz Cadogan @e_cadogan]

@Bushra1Shaikh I’m genuinely curious why our police/secret services are not looking into your source of funds for ABC/AML/Sanctions/Terror concerns …

[Elnaz Cadogan @e_cadogan]

The silence is deafening

[Elnaz Cadogan @e_cadogan]

@mhdksafa Why isn’t this organisation not a registered charity and why do the annual accounts not show proper audited accounts of the moment of funds? Seems suspicious if you are trying to do something genuine.

@IRanMediaco Did you know the president of Iran is a mass murder who presided over a regime killing doctors and nurses for treating injured youth? What about the president of the United States?
