Yasmine and I just arrived in Israel. We are very happy to be here and are dedicated to working toward the peaceful & prosperous future that the people of our region deserve. From the children of Cyrus, to the children of Israel, we will build this future together, in friendship.
On Memorial Day, we pause as a nation to honor the brave men and women who gave their lives in defense of our freedom. Across generations, more than a million Americans have made the ultimate sacrifice so that our country might endure and our values might prevail.
Their courage secured the liberties we too often take for granted. Their sacrifice binds us together in gratitude and solemn remembrance.
تلاش من برای قرار دادن کشور در یک مسیر صحیح است، نه برای یافتن یک مرهم سریع که راه را برای بازآفرینی استبداد و انحصار قدرت باز بگذارد. گام نخست برای رسیدن به چنین شرایطی، گذار از جمهوری اسلامی است که نماد انحصار و انباشت ثروت و قدرت در دست گروهی اندک است. #پیمان_نوین
I don’t care how many death threats I get from deranged IRGC thugs in Britain. I will never stop.
Liberating Iran from the bloody grip of Islamist tyranny is the defining battle of our era, and I’m here until the end.
We will win. Free Iran!
نزدیک به ۸۶ روز است که جمهوری اسلامی تماس مردم ایران با جهان آزاد را قطع کرده و در خاموشی به جنایات خود ادامه میدهد.
در قبال طولانیترین قطعی اینترنت تاریخ سکوت نکنید.
صدای مردم ایران باشید.

🚨 HOLY SMOKES. Marco Rubio just got FIRED UP and obliterated the Fake News for refusing to focus on Iran's atrocities!
"They would rather invest in the R*PISTS and the MURDERERS of Hamas than their OWN PEOPLE! THAT'S what you should be asking me about. THAT'S what the BBC should be covering and that's what these OTHER media outlets should be covering!"
"Is how EVIL these people are in Iran and the DAMAGE they've done to people all over the world. The world's leading sponsor of terrorism is Iran and look what they're doing now."
"This is an Iran that has organized the assassinations and the attempted assassinations of people all over the world, including civilians and dissidents and people that don't agree with."
"There is no nation on earth that sponsors more terrorism than Iran."
"They spent millions and millions of dollars sponsoring terrorism and targeting individuals all over the world and including civilians that have been caught up in them."
"That's what Iran has done. They did spend their millions and millions on building roads and bridges and improving the life of their people."
"That's why their people are always in the street protesting because their economy has been in shambles because they don't invest in their economy! They'd rather invest in Hezbollah!"
"DESPITE all of that, the United States remains committed to finding a peaceful, a diplomatic solution to this crisis."
He's so good 🔥🔥🔥
تنها توافق قابل قبول، توافقیست که در آن جمهوری اسلامی در برابر ملت ایران تسلیم شود.
ما برای چنین توافقی که صلح را به منطقه و جهان خواهد آورد، آمادهایم.
کامران خوانسارینیا در گفتوگو با فاکسنیوز:
این رژیم جنایتکار که کشور ما را اشغال کرده، نماینده مردم ایران نیست و مشروعیت مذاکره از طرف آنها را ندارد. حتی اگر توافقی حاصل شود، این رژیم را نجات نخواهد داد، چرا که مردم دیگر این رژیم را نمیپذیرند.
As I extend my best wishes to all those celebrating Christmas, I am writing to Pope Leo XIV (@Pontifex) asking him to be a voice for the Christians of my country, Iran.
Your Holiness, in this season of peace, my people are suffering persecution.
I ask you to hear their voice.
-------------
"Your Holiness,
As Christians around the world prepare to celebrate Christmas, I write to you with respect and gratitude for your consistent witness that human dignity is a gift from God, preceding every government and outlasting every tyranny.
In my capacity as an advocate for the Iranian people, I would like to draw your attention to the quiet but relentless persecution of Christian converts by the Islamic Republic in Iran, including baptized Christians seeking full communion with the Catholic Church. The Islamic Republic’s “security” services and Revolutionary Courts increasingly treat peaceful belief and worship as criminal acts, punishing with lashes, lengthy prison sentences, internal exile, and even execution those who pursue the Faith. The regime imprisons those who receive the Holy Communion for “drinking alcohol,” raids house-churches, and is cracking down on ordinary religious expression online with accusations of vague “threats to national security.”
In 2024 alone, Christian converts in Iran received a combined 263 years in prison and 37 years in internal exile for “crimes” directly related to the practice of their faith. This is a nearly sixfold increase in sentencing length compared to 2023. According to a report recently released by the National Union for Democracy in Iran (@NUFDIran), the trend continued in 2025. In one incident this year, three Christian converts, among them a pregnant woman, were collectively sentenced to more than forty years in prison on charges described as “propaganda activities contrary to Islamic law.” In another incident this year, similarly tied to religious expression on social media, five Christians received combined sentences totaling more than fifty years.
The Islamic Republic outlaws conversion to the Christian, or any other faith, and punishes those who seek to worship God in a new way by charging them with “warring against God”. Under the current regime, this “crime” carries the death sentence. This is nothing new. An unknown number of Iranian pastors, both converts convicted of apostasy and those from the Armenian Christian community the regime claims to respect, have been put to death for their Christian faith. Among those, who we remember especially during the Christmas season are Reverend Mehdi Dibaj, Bishop Haik Hovespian Mehr, Reverend Tateos Michaelian, and Reverend Hossein Soodmand. For those who survive, especially the baptized, it punishes them. This, beyond the forms of worship previously mentioned, includes persecution for simple acts of gathering to pray, learning the Faith, sharing Scripture either physically or digitally, and celebrating Christmas among friends.
This Christmas season, as the world remembers the proclamation of peace on earth and goodwill toward men, I ask for the Holy See’s help in bringing the plight of Iran’s persecuted Christians into clearer international view. Speaking publicly to and on behalf of Iran’s converts, especially during this sacred season, would go a long way in letting those Iranians suffering in silence know they are present in the prayers of the Church. Please consider raising the plight of Christians in Iran with international authorities through diplomatic channels, urging the release of imprisoned converts. In your May address to the diplomatic corps, you noted that authentic peace requires full respect for religious freedom, and that religion can serve peace only where such freedom is honored. Iran under the Islamic Republic is a case study in the opposite.
A future, free Iran will be a united home for all its citizens. A nation where Christians, Jews, Muslims, Baha’is, Zoroastrians and those of all or no faiths live equally under the rule of law. The Islamic Republic’s current persecution of converts is not only an assault on Christians, it is an assault on the very idea that the human person stands before God with a conscience no state may command. May the light of Christmas strengthen all those in Iran who seek to follow that conscience, and may it hasten the day when no Iranian must fear imprisonment or violence for the act of worship.
With respect and my best wishes for Christmas,
Reza Pahlavi"
سخنانی کمتر-شنیدهشده از پدرم در آغاز دوران شکوفایی ایران
«ما با هم این مملکت را به آن اندازهای که استعداد دارد، به آن اندازهای که در دل کوهها و زیر زمینش ثروتهای عظیمی نهفته است، به همان اندازه ما کار خواهیم کرد و با قوانین مترقی ایران فوایدش به اکثریت این مردم خواهد رسید.»
I've trained all my life to serve my nation. I am more than ever ready to step into Iran. I will be there with my compatriots to lead the ultimate battle.
