This is my attempt at putting together a theoretical framework for a successful revolutionary movement in Iran.
TL;DR: A successful revolution depends on calculated organization and pragmatic incentive structures.

.@CliffordDMay of @FDD has a message for @MELANIATRUMP: Beyond the oil and the nuclear file, there is another cause worthy of American leadership—the women of Iran. https://t.co/jGgxMPweKL
The strongest argument in favor of the MoU w/ Iran made by @megynkelly in conversation w/ @JDVance: the ease at which one could leave it:
“You’ve already signed it. But it’s not like legally binding to where you can’t undo it. It’s a diplomatic agreement. So if people freak out and there’s an utter melt down here in the United States it could always be undone if you change your minds.”
“Yea, exactly.”
As it signs a Memorandum of Understanding for “peace”, the Islamic Republic just executed two more protesters from January 8th and 9th.
This is the consequence of making a deal with this criminal regime. To do a deal with a regime that murdered more than 40,000 protestors in two days in January is morally wrong and strategically misguided.
Dealing with this regime will fail and we will all face the consequences. The regime’s 47-year war against the Iranian people continues. Just as it has never made peace with its own citizens, it will never truly make peace with the world.
The international community should back the people of Iran’s fight for freedom. Put them center in any negotiations and in their Iran policy. But let me be clear - with or without international support - this regime will fall. The people of Iran will liberate themselves from tyranny.
به ما گفتن خودکشی کرده، اما وقتی جنازه رو دیدیم، زمین تا آسمون فرق داشت با ادعاها.
دستها و پاهاش شکسته بود.تنش پر از ساچمه بود.چشم چپ نداشت.نصف صورتش از بین رفته بود.کل بدنش رو سوزونده بودن.مظلوم کشتنش.
یک ماه هیچ خبری ازش نداشتیم. گفتن بگید خودکشی بوده

Whether or not Europe stands with us, whether or not your journalists do their jobs, whether or not your politicians demonstrate the courage to act, I will fight for my people and my country.
چه اروپا در کنار ما باشد، چه نباشد، چه روزنامهنگاران شما کار خود را انجام دهند، یا ندهند، چه سیاستمداران شما شجاعت اقدام داشته باشند یا نه، من برای مردم و کشورم مبارزه خواهم کرد. حتی اگر مجبور باشیم این کار را بهتنهایی انجام دهیم، تا زمانی که ایران آزاد شود، مبارزه خواهیم کرد.
«جنگی که باید دربارهاش سخن گفت، جنگ جمهوری اسلامی با هممیهنان من، مردم ایران است؛ جنگی که هر روز زبانه میکشد و هیچ آتشبسی در آن برقرار نشده است. مردم هرگز یک بستهبندی جدید این حکومت را نمیپذیرد. خواستهی ما تغییر زندانبان نیست، آزادی است.»
شاهزاده رضا پهلوی، پارلمان سوئد.
The United Kingdom has endlessly appeased the criminal regime in Iran. The Prime Minister speaks of protecting the innocent civilians of Iran but failed to act to help stop the regime’s massacre of 40,000 innocent Iranians in January.
Only an end to this regime - that brings terror to Britain’s own shores - will yield lasting peace and regional stability. Keir Starmer should follow in the footsteps of Churchill, not Chamberlain. He should support the Iranian people’s fight for liberty.
The Iranian people will remember who stood with them in their hour of need and who stood against them. There is still time for the Government to change course: prosecute the IRGC that slaughters innocents, expel the illegitimate regime's ambassador, and act to support the people of Iran.
For the Trump administration to understand: The Strait of Hormuz is NOT OPEN. The UAE does not and will NEVER accept the Islamic regime in Iran imposing CONDITIONS on access. The UAE is not Britain or the EU. It does not accept any terrorist actor restricting freedom of navigation. As for Pakistan, Turkey, and Saudi Arabia negotiating to keep the regime afloat, understand this: no state has a legitimate right to decide who may pass and under what terms. That is international law, not a bargaining chip.
Shame on United Kingdom, NATO, European Union, and anyone who tolerates this regime’s terrorism and piracy.
This morning Iranian patriot Amirhossein Hatami was murdered by the Islamic Republic terrorists, by means of execution.
The regime occupying Iran has not changed.
Regime change in Iran means the total dismantlement of Islamic Republic, and return of Crown Prince Reza Pahlavi.
