[FREE IRAN 🇮🇷 @nekounamball]

The Iranian national team faced:

- Visa rejections
- Their training camp being moved to Tijuana
- Restricted travel windows for their matches
- Protests from parts of their own diaspora
- The constant pressure that comes with representing a nation under intense political scrutiny

And yet they still came back TWICE against New Zealand in a four-goal thriller.

That is the true spirit of the Iranian people.

Warriors.

[Donya @donyadelsouz]

The Lion and Sun flag dominated the stadium tonight. So FIFA went into overdrive trying to censor it.

At the Iran vs. New Zealand World Cup match, the stadium was flooded with Lion and Sun flags and shirts. Not the flag of the Islamic Republic, but the real flag of Iran. It was everywhere.

Yet if you watched on TV, you wouldn’t see any of it.

The cameras avoided the stands. Crowd shots in the background were blurred. And compared to virtually every other World Cup match so far, there was remarkably little focus on the crowd. Of course, intentional.

They can ban the Lion and Sun from stadiums. They can crop it out of broadcasts. They can try to erase it from the world’s view.

But they cannot erase the reality that thousands upon thousands of Iranians showed up carrying the symbol of a free Iran.

You can censor a flag from a broadcast.

You cannot censor an entire nation.

Iran is executing its own citizens, including teenagers—and the world barely says a word.
Where is the @UN and all the other so-called human rights groups?
The silence is deafening.

Imagine being this brave.

They knew what would happen. And they did it anyway. For freedom.

We don’t understand this kind of courage. Bless these women.

[Houman David Hemmati, MD, PhD @houmanhemmati]

🇮🇷 47 years ago, I stood at a window in Tehran as a 3-year-old boy, smelling burning tires and hearing the chants that would steal my country. I didn’t have words for what was happening. Today, I am watching smoke rise over the same city — but this time the smoke is not the end of Iran. It is, God willing, the beginning of her resurrection.

Several weeks ago I wrote in that the fever of 1979 was finally breaking. I never imagined I would wake up to see that fever confronted so directly. Israel — with the clear support of the United States — has launched a preemptive strike deep into Tehran and against the regime’s military machinery. Explosions in the capital. Military targets hit. The IRGC’s aura of invincibility, already cracked, is shattering in real time.

I do not celebrate war. No decent person does. What I celebrate — what millions of Iranians inside the country and in the diaspora have prayed for in secret for decades — is the possibility that a regime which has no right to exist may finally be forced to go.

This is the same regime that:
- Armed and cheered the October 7 massacre against Israel for no reason other than pure genocidal hatred.
- Murdered tens of thousands of its own sons and daughters who dared to walk peacefully in the streets demanding the most basic freedoms.
- Gouges out the eyes of young women for the “crime” of wearing makeup.
- Hangs teenagers from cranes for posting a tweet.
- Exports terror, poverty, and darkness to every corner it can reach including the U.S.

No nation, no people, should have to live under that. Not Israelis. Not Americans. Not Lebanese. Not Syrians. And certainly not Iranians.

I am a physician who has spent his life trying to heal bodies and a son of Iran who has spent his life mourning a stolen homeland. What we are witnessing is not aggression — it is surgery. Painful, necessary surgery to remove a tumor that has metastasized for 47 years. The tumor is the Islamic Republic that has hijacked Iran.

To the brave pilots and special operators of the Israeli Air Force and the men and women of the United States military now carrying out this mission: I pray for you with everything I have.

May God shield you from harm. May every missile find its target and every soldier return home safely to the families who love them. You are not invaders. You are the answer to the prayers of millions who have whispered “enough” in the dark since 1979. You are giving our friends the chance to breathe free air again. The entire region will owe you a peace we have not known in my lifetime.

To my fellow Iranians watching from inside the country right now, heart pounding, maybe hiding in basements or on rooftops: Hold on. The end is clearer than it has ever been. The regime’s fear is real. Their eyes — those same eyes that once stared down at us with absolute power — now show something they haven’t shown in decades: panic. The math has changed. The window of 1979 is finally closing.

To the little three-year-old boy I once was — and to every little boy and girl in Tehran, Isfahan, Shiraz, and Tabriz today who hears explosions instead of lullabies: This time the sounds are not the closing of a door. They are the opening of one.

The road ahead will not be easy. Transitions never are. But the direction is unmistakable. A secular, prosperous, free Iran is no longer a dream — it is becoming an inevitability.

I have lived the stolen life so that others might not have to. Today, for the first time in 47 years, I allow myself to believe that the stealing is almost over.

Thank you, Israel. Thank you, America. The Iranian people — the real Iran — will never forget.

The fever is breaking.
The dawn of 2026 is here.
And this time, the light wins.

BREAKING: Sources have just informed U.S. General Michael Flynn that, so far, more than 90,000 Iranian protesters were mass-murdered by the Islamist regime in Iran. The former National Security Advisor said the genocidal massacre in Iran has not been stopped and continues.

🔴 I have more reports from Tehran as well as Southern Iran.

• People are trapped in their homes almost all day.

• They're allowed a small window to go outside to buy essential household items. Groups of foreign terrorists escort them to shops.

• These terrorists observe their every movement and listen to their every word. If anyone steps out of line or says something "wrong", they get shot.

• Each shop also has a heavy regime presence. They are everywhere.

• The regime is blasting loud Arabic, Shia islamic chants throughout neighbourhoods.

• Patrols make sure people don't even look out of their own windows at nighttime.

• If you are giving birth, you can't go to any hospital. You must arrange for someone to visit your home instead to give birth in your home.

• The closest comparison is now Handmaid's Tale, but real life and not fictional.

• It's a state of actual foreign occupation. There are more Afghan and Arab mercenaries than there are local IRGC forces. The mullahs imported thousands of non-Iranian islamic terrorists because they would have lost control otherwise.

• There is an actual genocide happening, not in the fake Gaza sense but literal mass murder in the darkness, on a scale and speed barely ever seen since WW2.

• The death toll reports I'm getting are over 50,000 so far. In a country of 90 million, everyone knows at least one or more loved ones who've been murdered. This number is rising rapidly, and will probably skyrocket again when the internet returns

• Iran is now a concentration camp containing 90 million hostages.

[سیامک جوادی | Siamak Javadi @SiamakJavadi]

What happened in Iran is the largest and most lethal state massacre in modern history of the world after the Second World War. Even the 1989 Tiananmen crackdown had fewer casualties than what ayatollahs did to the Iranian protestors.

And for the record, 12,000 is a conservative figure. Almost all emerging anecdotal reporting that’s gradually coming out of Iran indicates this figure is far larger.

What is unfolding before our eyes can be easily described and characterized as crime against humanity in epic proportion.

It’s time for world leaders to act, intervene, and stop the regime’s atrocities.

Expelling IR ambassadors from your countries and shutting down your embassies in (occupied) Iran are a start.

🚨 HOLY SMOKES. Brave Iranian activist Masih Alinejad GOES NUCLEAR on the Khamenei regime at the UN

"I now address the Representative of the Islamic Republic DIRECTLY: You have tried to KILL me 3 TIMES!"

"My crime?! Echoing the voice of innocent people that you killed! Your leader, Ali Khamenei, he ordered my killing!"

"I have seen my would-be assassin with my own eyes in front of my garden in my home in Brooklyn."

"He said, 'that American agent who compared compulsory hijab to the Berlin Wall must be killed.' I am that woman but I am NOT the agent of America. I have agency, but I am thankful to American government and the law enforcement to protect my life!"

"And it was not the protection of the law enforcement, I wouldn't, I couldn't have been here to testify for millions of people who are facing the same killers, facing the same terrorist regime in my country!"

USA STANDS WITH THE IRANIAN PEOPLE!
