Rashid Mazaheri is the REAL Iranian goalkeeper. Not the one chasing fame and money, but the one who stood with his people.
The regime arrested him for speaking out against the massacre of January 8-9. Because in their eyes, silence is the only acceptable price for wearing the national jersey.
We Iranians have a sacred word: Pehlivan (Pahlevan). It means hero, champion, noble warrior, patriot. For thousands of years, it belonged first to our wrestlers — the heart of Persian sport — but today it belongs to any athlete who carries the soul of Iran.
Before his arrest, Rashid Mazaheri delivered a message that will echo forever:
“Medals and performance do not make an athlete a Pehlivan. Standing with the people does.”
That is the standard. That is the measure.
Alireza Beiranvand knows this truth better than anyone. He has seen it. He understands it. Yet he chooses silence. Worse — he openly swears “by the blood of Khamenei” that he will not let the opponent score. He said it during the Iran vs New Zealand match. The joke writes itself.
While one goalkeeper risks everything for the blood of our youth soaked in the streets, the other endorses the very regime that spills it — all for a starting spot and regime favor.
This is not about goalkeeping. This is about sportswashing. This is about the Islamic Republic and the IRGC trying to use our national team to launder their crimes while our athletes are beaten and imprisoned for saying “enough”.
But the wall of fear has crumbled.
As his translated instagram post proudly says: The heirs of Cyrus, Darius, and Kaveh the Blacksmith are rising. Our roots are older than their whips and gallows. Our dignity is deeper than their tyranny.
Rashid Mazaheri is a Pehlivan.
Beiranvand is not.
We have not forgotten the path of a free and modern Iran.
We will no longer bow our heads.

BREAKING: An Iranian fan at the World Cup held a sign asking: “Where is Rashid Mazaheri?”
Mazaheri, Iran’s former goalkeeper, was abducted by the IRGC in January after speaking out against the regime’s senseless killing of protesters.
Every year, I share this video of French caretakers who take sand from Omaha Beach in Normandy, and scrub them into the letters to give them the gold coloring.
They do this for all 9,386 US soldiers who died.
France also gave us this land as American soil. #MemorialDayWeekend
Most downtown Seattle businesses are GONE because of leftist rule.
Starbucks
Old Navy
The Loft
And many more GONE.
They left because of crime and homelessness & now most of downtown Seattle is VACANT.
How SAD.
While Karen Bass is worried about getting meth-heads new grills, the LAFD has 3 dozen LESS firefighters than we had when the Palisades Fire hit. Folks, you need to vote like your life depends on it, because it does.
Elon Musk just defended America better than every politician in Washington combined.
Musk: “After World War 2, the US could have basically taken over the world and any country. Like we got nukes, nobody else got nukes. We don’t even have to lose soldiers. Which country do you want?”
One nation on earth held a weapon nobody else had.
Total dominance. Zero competition. No risk of retaliation.
Every empire in history that held that kind of advantage used it.
Rome. The Mongols. The British. The Ottomans.
They conquered until they collapsed.
America had a bigger advantage than all of them combined.
And it rebuilt the countries it just defeated.
Musk: “The United States actually helped rebuild countries. So it helped rebuild Europe, it helped rebuild Japan. This is very unusual behavior, almost unprecedented.”
Almost unprecedented?
It had never happened before. Not once in 5,000 years of recorded history.
The Marshall Plan wasn’t foreign aid.
It was the most radical act of restraint any superpower ever committed.
America turned its enemies into allies. Turned rubble into economies. Turned surrender into partnership.
Germany went from ashes to the economic engine of Europe in a generation.
Japan went from unconditional surrender to the third largest economy on earth.
Three years after the war, America was flying food into Berlin.
A city in the heart of the nation that just tried to destroy it.
That’s not policy.
That’s a civilization deciding what it is at the exact moment it has the power to be anything.
You’re being told a story right now.
That America is the villain of history.
You hear it everywhere. Media. Universities. Social platforms.
Musk: “There’s always like, well America’s done bad things. Well of course America’s done bad things, but one needs to look at the whole track record.”
Every nation on earth has dark chapters. Every single one.
The difference is what a country does when nobody can stop it.
And when nobody could stop America, it fed its enemies and rebuilt their cities.
Musk: “The history of China suggests that China is not acquisitive. Meaning they’re not going to go out and invade a whole bunch of countries.”
Probably right.
China has historically built walls, not fleets.
But the real question isn’t about borders anymore.
We’re approaching a moment that mirrors 1945 in ways nobody has fully processed yet.
AI is going to give a handful of people a power advantage that makes nuclear monopoly look quaint.
If someone is going to hold that kind of power, who do you want it to be?
The country that conquered when it could? Or the one that rebuilt when it didn’t have to?
Every alliance. Every trade route. Every economy.
Billions lifted out of poverty.
All of it traces back to one act of restraint that had never been done before.
And carries no guarantee of being repeated.
The most powerful thing America ever did wasn’t building the bomb.
It was what it didn’t do after.
Arcadia, California Mayor Eileen Wang just agreed to plead guilty to acting as an illegal foreign agent and promoting Chinese propaganda
This is THE SAME woman in Los Angeles county who has been pushing for noncitizens to be able to vote
Make sense yet?
“Arcadia Mayor Eileen Wang acted in the interest of the Chinese Communist Party — Federal Prosecutors say the mayor and a then-fiancée were posting Chinese Communist Party propaganda on a website called US News Center”
This shouldn’t be shocking, Modern day Democrats are communists and they want to bring down America by brining in illegals and letting them vote
Maximum potential sentence is 10 years in federal prison
Muslims are completely losing their minds after Brigitte Gabriel destroyed the false “freedom fighters” narrative. To those who keep blaming Israel for the “occupation” in Gaza: The Palestinian people have brought this on themselves over and over again.
They rejected every peace offer. They chose Hamas. They celebrated the massacre of October 7.
Brigitte Gabriel said the quiet part out loud. The truth hurts.
Stephen A. Smith disses LeBron James after explaining why Michael Jordan is the "goat" of the NBA 👀😳
"there's no way you could watch Michael Jordan and LeBron James and think MJ is not the GOAT"
"Michael has 10 scoring titles, won 6 titles, 6 NBA finals MVPs.."
Bill Maher asks how the government is “failing the poor so badly” when he pays “60 PERCENT” of his earnings in taxes.
“Last week was tax day… I paid the government probably almost 60% of what I earn. That’s a lot.”
“And I… wouldn’t mind if Bernie Sanders would stop saying the rich don’t pay taxes.”
“The top 10% pay 72% of all federal income taxes. And the bottom half, 3%.”
“The Democratic Socialists talk about socialism like we don’t already have a lot: Social Security, unemployment, Medicare, nutritional assistance, Medicaid, Obamacare, disability, housing subsidies.”
“How can you be soaking the rich and failing the poor so badly? How can it be that the federal government alone took in over 5 trillion in taxes last year, and we still need that?”
“Are we really this incompetent and corrupt?”
🚨 The Iranian regime’s mask is OFF: It’s not a functioning government, it’s a terrorist cartel.
Arabs expelled their diplomats in days. Europe? Still protecting them for dirty money.
Time’s up.
Expel every regime diplomat NOW and recognize Prince Reza Pahlavi as leader of a free Iran. #JavidShah
I studied Islam at Columbia University because I needed to understand what it says in the Quran that forced my family to flee Iran under gunfire after the Islamic revolution.
I’ve read the Quran. I know what it says to do to Jews. And no one can deny it to me because I studied it. And here’s the truth: Sharia Law is not compatible with the West.
