This Antique Armenian rug tells story of two sisters: tragically separated during Armenian Genocide. Their mother cut rug into two pieces and gave them to each daughter. Unlike their mom, sisters survived. 50 years later, they found each other in US. two pieces were united.
They killed Jina Mahsa Amini for “improper” hijab. And now their propaganda machine is pretending hijab is a choice and “different clothing” is allowed. And the westerners lap up their propaganda. This is Jina Mahsa Amini. The morality police murdered her for some strands of hair. You think we’ll forget that? You think our rage will disappear because this couple decided to whitewash the Islamic Regime? F@ck that!
Essay from Iran:
"In the reconfiguration of power & its opponents, women's bodies & appearances are drawn to the center of narratives, & image, color, & body…The very body that is shown as free & diverse within the camera's frame remains under stringent control in daily life.”
I think the fact that y'all fall for this propaganda is less about the failure of the US empire and more of a reflection of the fact that the western left (and frankly the dominant left currents globally) are a bunch of unprincipled nationalist that eat this shit up uncritically
Celebration of Iranian women is really something coming from a regime that encourages the assault, murder, and rape of women. In a country where it is legal to marry young girls. A regime that violently massacres and oppresses their women. Do not fall for this blatant propaganda.
🚨 A devastated husband took his own life after regime agents raped his dead wife’s body and sent him the photos.
Islamic Republic security forces raided the home of Saleheh Akbari and her husband Ahmad Khodaei.
Saleheh, a 38-year-old nurse, operating room technician, and mountaineer, along with her husband, had opened their house to wounded protesters during the January 2026 uprising - people too terrified to go to hospitals because the regime was hunting them down.
They treated the injured. They hid them. They saved lives.
A few days later, regime agents stormed in. They beat Ahmad. Saleheh threw herself between them to protect her husband. They shot her point-blank in the heart - right in front of him and their young child.
She died in his arms.
Then came the unspeakable: agents assaulted Saleheh’s lifeless body, took photos of the desecration, and sent them to Ahmad as psychological torture.
The sexual harassment and horror he endured pushed him beyond any human limit.
Broken by grief, Ahmad posted a final goodbye letter to his wife on Instagram and took his own life.
Two kind, brave souls - a mother and father who only showed humanity in a regime that has none - are gone.
Like, I don’t mean to be exculpatory. After all, I’m anti-war. But pro-war Iranians are a product of a 47 year old synergistic effect between IR’s oppression (leading to the growth of this diaspora), and US/Israeli media being the only outlets covering that oppression.
Stop projecting your need for a loving father onto corrupt politicians doing the bare minimum performance you crave because you miss when US politicians were “normal”.
Most people need to understand that when an account that appears anti–Islamic Republic suddenly becomes pro–IR or starts spreading its propaganda, it hasn’t “changed” it was always aligned with them. This is a deliberate strategy.
The lopsided balance of power between capital and labour: the workers have no ability to refuse to wear the cameras which are training systems which will eventually replace the workers themselves
does the january massacre fit into iran’s “dialectical movement of revolutionary struggle”?
a state that routinely massacres & executes the poor/oppressed for the crime of rising up cant protect anything from imperialist plunder,
a weak state like IRI is a gift to imperialism
how does the world just watch and even protect a government that keeps executing TEENAGERS every time I see a post abt them I want to cry at how cruel the world is
Yes, when they’re loyal to the state that oppresses them and forces them to assimilate, you love them. But when they go against the state, you call them “dirty nomads” and “Mossad agents.”
“we categorically & strongly deny receiving any weapons,aid, support or political-security coordination from US or Israel. Komala..at no point & under no circumstances been part of US or Israeli projects in Iran..This is..a part of our political, social & revolutionary identity”
