Vad väst inte förstår om Iran:
- Jämför inte oss med Irak, Afghanistan, Syrien.
Iranier ser er som våra värdar, därför vi visar era länder respekt, omsorg. Vi tror dock på Irans frihet. De islamistiska snyltarna kommer bli kvar här när iranierna återvänder för att återuppbygga.
I morgonens Ekot lyckas de bara lyfta kritiska röster mot USAs och Israels intervention i Iran, men ingenting om hur folket samlas på gatorna för att fira och med hopp för frihet och demokrati.
Märklig vinkling.
Prediction: When Iranians overthrow their brain-rotted religious dictator, become a liberal democracy, and rejoin the global economy, they’ll become one of the biggest economic powers in the world. Iranians are some of the smartest, hardest-working, and most entrepreneurial people I’ve ever met.
Sad to hear about Norway's startup exodus. Sweden got it right:
>ditched wealth tax in '07
>inheritance/gift taxes in '05
>only tax realized capital gains (no unrealized BS) at 20-30%
It worked
Norwegians are very welcome
Jag är helt fascinerad över hur lite svenska medier skriver om Iran, och hur uselt det lilla som skrivs är. Blir en massiv kognitiv dissonans att öppna medier från andra länder. Så sorgligt och skamligt.
The Iranian Revolution is easily the biggest story in the world right now, even if the legacy media’s reporting on it remains tepid / regime-friendly.
The only way to have a clearer picture of what’s actually happening in Iran is to be on X.
Here is what my X feed is currently telling me. Some of this information has been verified, some hasn’t. Be discerning. But this is worth sharing so more people understand the trajectory of this historic, fall-of-the-Berlin-Wall scale event:
—
1.5-1.85 million Iranians are in the streets fighting tonight. At this stage the revolution has spread to 512 locations, 180 cities, and all 31 provinces.
The regime shut down the internet, switched off the electricity and sent its security forces onto the streets to attack protesters with live fire. Tonight, hundreds of thousands are out on the streets of Tehran again, waiving their phones in the darkness to show the world they’re still there.
Severe clashes are taking place in Iran’s 2nd-largest city Mashhad between anti-regime protesters and the regime’s security forces. People are building barricades to protect the crowd from live fire which is reportedly used by the security forces in the city.
All non-Iranian airlines have cancelled all flights to and from Iran.
The Trump administration has held initial discussions on potential strikes against Iran: WSJ.
A rebel tech group is using Elon’s satellites to outsmart Iran’s internet shutdowns. For 2 years, they’ve worked with local activists to beam protest footage out and smuggle real news back in. The effort is holding strong with a 90.71% connection success rate, even as the regime scrambles to kill the signal.
The Islamic regime security forces shut down the internet yesterday to carry out a massacre. They hoped the world wouldn’t see it.
Iran International reports that even the most conservative estimates indicate at least 2,000 anti-regime protesters have been killed by the Islamic security forces over the past 48 hours.
In Iran, hundreds of mosques have been burnt down in a declaration the people are done with Islam.
Massive military buildup in the Middle East, US strikes on Iran look to be imminent.

Crazy how people will watch Elon Musk literally bypass authoritarian regimes to give people internet access during literal blackouts and uprisings, then turn around and say he’s done nothing good for humanity.
Why Europe and the European nations have still not cut their diplomatic ties with the Mollah regime ? Why they have still not put the IRGC on the terrorist list ? When will they stop their appeasement policy and start to recognize the democratic rights of the Iranian people ? #FreeIran
Urging media outlets to STOP parroting regime propaganda
This is not an Israeli or U.S. backed movement.
It’s an Iranian people led revolution in motion. The people have been screaming for an END to the Islamic republic for YEARS!
LISTEN. AMPLIFY their voices and demands.
This was Nika Shakarami.
She was just 16 years old.
During anti-regime protests in 2022 over the death of Mashsa Amini, the 16 year old was abducted, tortured and killed by regime forces.
Iranian authorities claim she died from falling from a building.
But instead they beat her so severely they broke her skull.
Iranian authorities refused to notify her family of her death for 10 days before removing her body from the morgue and burying her in a remote village without her families consent.
This is what the Iranian regime does to women.
This photo might not be as cool as the ones burning Khamenei's picture with cigarettes outside Iran, but it shows something more than just being cool.
It shows the courage of a girl who is raising a photo in IRAN that could get her shot.
This photo deserves full media attention.
#IranProtests
I Gaza hade SVT och SR mängder av lokala ”journalister” och uppgiftslämnare. Ett område med ca 2 miljoner innevånare. Iran som är regionens stormakt med + 90 miljoner innevånare verkar man ha 0 kontakter på plats. Patetiskt. Visar på PS totala haveri gällande bevakningen.
These brave, young women sparked the 2022 uprising in Iran. Today is built on their courage and their sacrifice.
I hope they’re looking down, proud of how far this has come. I wish they were here to witness it.
We won’t ever forget you 💔
🇮🇷 Reports Iran’s Supreme Leader was shot on his way to the airport are almost certainly false
He hasn’t fled and it’s very unlikely his regime will fall this month
They’ve been in power for decades, so toppling them takes months.
A message from people on the ground in Isfahan with access to Starlink:
“We have nothing, no SMS, nothing.
All we hear is gunfire, heavy bursts, Kalashnikovs.
You can hear people chanting “Long live the Shah,” mixed with gunshots.
They’re setting everything on fire.
I’ve never seen anything like this, not even in 2019, 2022, or 2009.
This is unbelievable.
This is war.
They’ve switched to the national internet; for two or three hours only internal sites work.
You can’t make calls, you can’t send messages.
I took videos, you wouldn’t believe it.
They’ve cut the electricity.
I wish this message reaches you.”
The women of France stand in support with the women of Iran!
French right wing feminist activists from the “Collectif Nemesis” recreate the viral trend of Iranian women lighting their cigarettes with Khamenei.
When will left wing feminists show their support!?
