Iran's security forces killed thousands of protesters in Mashhad and Isfahan during the January 8–9 protests, among the deadliest days of the nationwide uprising.
The third episode of “A Massacre in Iran” examines the nights of killings in Mashhad, Najafabad, and Isfahan, including footage shown for the first time.
Narrated by Iran International’s Farnoush Faraji (@farnooshfam), the documentary draws on eyewitness accounts and local sources.
The Islamic Republic and the IRGC recruit children as young as 12 and send them to war. They abuse them as shields to survive.
I don’t hear the defenders of human rights or the international organizations that claim to defend children’s rights speaking about this.
Selective defense is not what a child needs. We should protect children against these ayatollah monsters, who need more blood to survive.

⚠️ Update: The internet blackout in #Iran is now in its 28th day after 648 hours, with Iranians having spent more than half the year to date cut off from international networks.
Authorities continue to refine a two-tiered system where only regime apparatchiks are allowed online.

I was invited to London in mid-February to consult on the formation of an assembly of Iranian political figures united by their belief in democracy and pluralism. Alongside more than 30 members of the community, a ‘Coordination Council’ was formed with the objective of shaping a larger convening of nearly 400 participants at the end of March, what would become the Iran Freedom Congress (IFC).
I have supported the formation of the IFC because democracy is grounded in pluralism, the coexistence of a wide range of perspectives, even those that strongly conflict with one another. From the outset when I was invited, the premise was clear: to bring together individuals who may hold differing political views and even personal disagreements, yet who understand that in this moment of national crisis, open dialogue, cooperation, and shared responsibility are essential to achieving a stable and lasting transition to democracy in Iran. My role, as always, has been that of a neutral, nonpartisan bridge-builder, and during the initial meeting I shared my specific recommendations on how this initiative could succeed.
It was also expressed that participation in this Congress should not be interpreted as mutual endorsement, but rather as a shared commitment to the principle that pluralism is the only viable path forward. While I completed my role in the first meeting, I continue to encourage the Iran Freedom Congress to apply the broadest possible definition of pluralism and expand its invitation list even more. If the goal is to replace the Islamic Republic, then all voices advocating for regime change and democracy must be included in this effort. Ultimately, it will be the Iranian people who determine their political future through a democratic process, one person, one vote at the ballot box.
Going forward, those with demonstrated support inside Iran and the capacity to mobilize others should play a leading role in this next phase, guided by expert counsel into what is achievable. Though I am not attending, I remain available to this group and others, continuing to serve as a bridge between individuals and factions in pursuit of our shared goal: ending tyranny and violent suppression, and advancing a democratic future.
At this time of existential threat to the future of our homeland, I urge Prince Reza Pahlavi’s team to recognize the necessity of broadening their base. Essential voices, particularly leaders of Iran’s diverse ethnic communities and prominent civil society figures inside the country who have made significant sacrifices for freedom, must be heard, and their demands incorporated into any transitional framework.
At the same time, I ask those who carry past grievances or oppose Prince Reza Pahlavi as the sole leader to acknowledge that he has substantial popular support as a transitional figure, both inside and outside Iran. Denying this reality serves no one.
Acknowledging the realities of support across different segments of society is essential if a truly representative and effective coalition is to emerge.
If these different groups are willing to share their influence proportionally, and where necessary, relinquish some of it for the greater good and broader national interest above individual positions, the result will be a coalition that truly represents Iranian society, complete with the checks and balances a democracy requires.
Without such a broad and inclusive coalition, the opposition risks not being seen or considered as a credible alternative. In that case, external actors may continue to engage with familiar regime figures and bypass a unified opposition entirely. If we truly care about Iran, we need to come together and to do so quickly. This moment is urgent, and without meaningful steps toward greater unity, the opportunity before us could be lost, and that is what I fear the most. (Continuation 👇)

Dear Elon,
In these critical days, the people of Iran need internet access. Please help them stay connected as they struggle to reclaim their country from the rule of the mullahs. Stand with the Iranian people. Iran will not forget its friends.
Recognizing that no single person or group can alone shoulder the Herculean task of toppling the Islamic Republic’s militarized regime, an “Iran Freedom Congress” will convene on March 28–29 in London.
To help shape this Congress, a working group of 30 concerned Iranians already come together on Feb 23-24. This gathering included prominent political figures from across the political spectrum (from constitutional monarchists to those on the left, as well as Kurdish, Azerbaijani, Arab Ahwazi, and Baloch representatives, and civil society activists, many of whom are directly connected to key figures and networks inside Iran.)
The ‘Iran Freedom Congress’ is not a political party. It is a broad-based, inclusive assembly of Iranians committed to pluralism, democracy, and inclusivity. It is not opposed to any movement or figure, including Crown Prince
Reza Pahlavi, and the successful momentum around him, but instead is intended as a necessary platform for cooperation, coordination, and mediation among diverse democratic forces.
With the risk of war in the coming days and potential removal of theocratic dictator Khamenei, many Iranians fear another regime insider being elevated, or internal civil conflict. Preventing such outcomes requires unity now, not later. Only with unity in diversity can we ensure a peaceful, stable, and lasting transition to democracy.
The United States including @USAmbUN and our Western allies have sent a clear signal that unity among Iran’s democratic forces is essential. The Iran Freedom Congress is a direct response to this moment and to that call.
We want to sincerely thank our community partners and GTA policing partners who supported our officers in keeping everyone safe during yesterday’s Global Day of Action. Safely managing up to 350,000 demonstrators is a testament to careful planning, close coordination, effective multi‑agency collaboration, and policing excellence on a large scale.
Proud to see over 350K people on #Feb14Forlran hold the largest rally in Toronto’s history to commemorate #IranMassacre and united for a #FreeIran 🖤🇮🇷✊
Great experience trying Line 5 #EglintonCrosstown on opening day with the entire family. Smooth and fast ride and kids loved it. A celebratory mood with people smiling and enjoying the experience. Savouring the positive impact to fuel doing bigger and better things in Toronto.
150,000 demonstrators and zero incidents.
Thanks to the meticulous planning, effective on‑the‑ground work, and professionalism of our members and specialized units, yesterday’s event in the heart of our city remained safe and peaceful.
-By massacring more than 35,000 people in the span of 48 hours, the Islamic Republic surpassed the Nazis’ record, who murdered 33,000 Jews in 48 hours at Babi Yar.
-En massacrant plus de 35 000 personnes en l’espace de 48 heures, la République islamique a battu le record des nazis, qui avaient assassiné 33 000 Juifs en 48 heures à Babi Yar.

Shocking: “As many as 30,000 people could have been killed in the streets of Iran on Jan. 8 and 9 alone, two senior officials of the country’s Ministry of Health told TIME….The only parallel offered by online databases occurred in the Holocaust.” https://t.co/wJJAtYGea5
