Look at the kind of person the Islamists murdered in the name of their apocalyptic ideology. A brilliant young mind with a future that should have belonged to science, innovation, and life erased by a regime obsessed with death.
What kind of world is this, where educated, talented young people are executed while fanatics sit in power?
The Iranian and Israeli governments are very similar in the way they use foreign influencers to whitewash their crimes.
Israel hosts influencers to deny apartheid and genocide. The Islamic Republic hosts influencers to deny state atrocities against its own people.
This woman won’t ask Iranian authorities why a Nobel Peace Prize laureate remains imprisoned as her health deteriorates.
She won’t tour Evin Prison, Ghezel Hesar Prison, or Qarchak Prison to report on the conditions of prisoners. She won’t ask about the high number of executions or political prisoners sentenced to death.
She won’t meet families who’ve lost loved ones to state violence. She won’t visit the graves of killed protesters.
Because if she did any of that, she would be in prison right now.
I literally had to go see this for myself. Sure enough. Apple Maps has removed almost every town in Lebanon from the map while keeping every podunk town in Israel and Syria clearly marked.
If you’re wondering how intense the bombing in Beirut was yesterday, then you need to watch this video. It documents the bombardment around the Indonesian Hospital in northern Gaza, near my family’s home in
Nov 2023.
This is what we call a “fire belt,” in Arabic, meaning relentless, consecutive strikes that feel like hell itself. I lived through this many times in Gaza before we left for Egypt. It feels like the end of the world, as if you’re standing in flames from every direction, with no escape and no way out.
Don’t look away from this video.

This aligns with what I've heard from my family.
People question, "How were 45000 killed?!"
This is how. You open heavy machine gun fire randomly into this crowd, and each bullet can take down three people. Multiply that by 107 cities, then by the number of neighborhoods.
Pejman Zare, a Bahá’í resident of Shiraz, was arrested on the morning of March 15, 2026, after Ministry of Intelligence agents raided his home, searched it thoroughly, and took him into custody.
During the raid, authorities confiscated personal belongings, including religious books and electronic devices belonging to him and his wife.
Following his arrest, agents proceeded to his father’s home directly across the street, where they carried out another search & took photographs.
No one was inside the house at the time of the raid.
A day later, intelligence agents also raided his workplace and detained his business partner, taking him to an unknown location.
His family still has no information about his whereabouts or the condition of either him or his colleague.

According to information obtained by IranWire, agents of the Islamic Republic’s Ministry of Intelligence arrested a 31-year-old Baha’i citizen named Shayan Abadi in the city of Kerman on the evening of Monday, March 23, and transferred him to an unknown location.
The Baha’i Faith is Iran’s largest non-Muslim religious minority, but it is not officially recognized by the Iranian Constitution. Consequently, Baha’is systematically face discrimination, including being barred from higher education and government jobs, and are frequently arrested on vague national security charges such as “propaganda against the state.”
As of the time of this report, there is no information available regarding Shayan Abadi’s place of detention or the specific charges brought against him.
In addition to Shayan Abadi, four other Baha’i citizens identified as Shakila Ghasemi, Borna Naeimi, Adib Shahbazpour, and Peyvand Naeimi have also been arrested in Kerman and remain in a state of legal uncertainty.
Kerman, located in southeastern Iran, has a long history of Baha’i presence, but the community there has faced intensified pressure in recent years. “Legal uncertainty” (or belataklifi) is a common tactic used by the Iranian judiciary, where detainees are held for weeks or months without formal charges or access to a lawyer.
Meanwhile, the Baha’i International Community (BIC), the organization representing the faith at the United Nations, had previously issued a statement expressing grave concern over the situation of Peyvand Naeimi. According to this statement, Peyvand Naeimi has been in detention for over two months and is being pressured to provide a forced confession. She is currently being held in solitary confinement.
Forced confessions are a hallmark of the Iranian judicial system, where detainees are often coerced under physical or psychological duress to “admit” to espionage or anti-state activities. These recorded confessions are frequently aired on state television to justify harsh sentencing.
#ShayanAbadi, a Bahá’í citizen and a resident of Kerman, has been arrested and transferred to an undisclosed location. Agents of the Ministry of Intelligence arrested him at approximately 6:00 p.m. on Sunday, March 23, 2026, without presenting an arrest warrant. His families attempt to follow up and get more information have been unsuccessful. #StopBahaiPersecution

Just so people understand what happened here:
These women claimed asylum because they were likely to be tortured and killed for a gesture standing up to the regime. The regime then started kidnapping their families instead to force them to come home and face likely execution.
‼️FYI for anyone in Toronto that shops at Zamani Meats (Super Zamani) at 6120 Yonge Street, please boycott them. They are Islamic Republic regime supporters. Also they are discriminatory towards Bahá’í’s and refuses to serve them, because of their religious beliefs. My mother was denied service and was not allowed to purchase anything, because she’s a Bahá’í.
The Iranian women’s national football team refused to sing the anthem of the Islamic Regime. Tonight. At the opening match of the Asian Cup. In front of the entire world.
So, to all liberal Western women:
Watch and learn.
THIS is what real feminism looks like.
For 47 years, the people of Iran have yearned for justice, freedom, peace, and prosperity—and have paid for it with their blood.
If your outrage at Iranian lives lost began only today, but you were silent as the regime slaughtered thousands of its own people in recent weeks, Iranian lives did not suddenly become worthy of your concern. Their lives have always mattered.
Many Iranians today are experiencing a profound and painful dissonance: waiting with bated breath for the fall of their tormentors, while grieving every innocent life lost—and knowing it was decades of the regime’s violence, repression, and recklessness that led the country to this precipice.
Imagine the profound dissonance of living under such injustice for so long that war begins to feel like the lesser evil.
It pains me deeply that the Islamic Republic has led Iran to this moment. The Iranian people are not this regime. They are its first victims—and they have never stopped fighting to rid themselves of it.
I stand with the people of Iran and their right to self-determination. May freedom, justice and peace swiftly prevail.
