Trump said "Right now their people are very hungry." Marco Rubio declared that he knows of "no other country where there's a bigger difference between the people who lead the country and the people who live there." Scott Bessent stood at Davos and boasted: "This is economic statecraft, no shots fired." Pete Hegseth thought he could send ground troops into Iranian soil.
They all had a theory. Bomb their infrastructure. Collapse their currency. Starve them into desperation. And when they are broken enough, they will rise against their own government and deliver the country to Washington on a platter.
Look at these images.
These are not the images of a broken people. This is one of the largest human gatherings on earth. It's a civilization expressing itself in full, with all its grief, its pride, and its cohesion. These are millions who chose, freely and defiantly, to pour into the streets to mourn their leader on their own terms.
The policy did not radicalize them against their government. It did not hollow them out. It did not manufacture the desperation Washington needed. Four decades of sanctions, two wars in the region, maximum pressure, currency warfare, and a Secretary of Defense openly threatening boots on the ground, and this is what it produced: a people more visibly unified than almost any nation on earth can claim to be.
This is the bill coming due for decades of strategic arrogance; the assumption that Iranians were simply a pressure point to be managed, a population to be weaponized against its own state.
Washington never understood what it was dealing with.
On Sky News, John Rees from Stop the War Coalition just completely dismantled the ridiculous claim that the pro-Palestine peace marches have anything whatsoever to do with the Golders Green attack.
It was 1991 and I was still drinking my mother's milk when my parents raised me up in front of his face.
This is how our people raise their sons and daughters.
This is why it is impossible for us to know defeat.
I am merely one of millions like me, and we will give our very souls and the souls of our children for Islam.
What a tragedy it is for the world to know Iran only after attacking it. Yet what a blessing it is to follow on the path of the righteous from the very beginning.
Let this be lesson to those who doubted before and who remain doubtful now... and to those who jump on different bandwagons every few years; our path is consistent and true. It is for the people of certainty, we walk with God even if faced against the entire world. This is why we do not know defeat. Victory and martyrdom are the same. The aim will always be Allah. Defeat is impossible for us. The world is astonished but we are not. There is absolutely no room for doubt, retreat, or surrender. It may be new to you but for us there never has been.
We are a people whose leader is an 86 year old martyr, the greatest martyr of our era, and through his blood we relive Karbala. The spirit of Imam Hussain (a) runs through the people who shed their tears for him. And we see blood! The tyrants will taste the bitterness of what they have sowed this century. That is a Divine Promise from Allah.
Simply to have followed these men of Allah in my lifetime is the honour of my life. I have never been prouder to say they are my leaders.
And the flag shall never fall!
Even if you kill me. There will always be millions more!
Australia being humiliated: Now the sixth Iranian footballer rejects asylum and returns to Iran.
This is what happens when you collude with the Epstein Empire and capitulate to propaganda pressure. How stupid and weak does the Australian Prime Minister look now...
The war between the Axis of Epstein and the Shi'a of Iran and Lebanon, is not merely a political war. It is an intellectual war. They want to eradicate political Islam, the Islam that fights back and never kneels.
Let the world know, the Shi'a of Ali will never kneel to the Axis of Epstein!
Look at what the 'Hasbi Allah' missile of Mohsen Chavoshi can do. Long live the beloved Mohsen Chavoshi.

Never forget the girls killed at Shajareh Tayyebeh School.
An elementary school full of children was destroyed by a U.S. Tomahawk missile ordered under the administration of Donald Trump.
Do not let the world move on.
Keep posting their story.
Keep saying their names.
Never let them erase these children.
They mocked our azadari.
They laughed at our tears and our beating of chests.
Now they see what it built.
The remembrance of Imam al-Husayn at Karbala was never mere mourning, it was a school of resistance. It kept the fire of justice alive when tyrants thought it had died.
Empires faded. The message remained.
Let history testify: it was the remembrance of Husayn and his companions that forged this unbreakable spirit. A spirit that refuses humiliation and rejects tyranny in every age.
Labayka Ya Husayn!
These are graves being dug for more than 160 innocent young girls who were killed in the US-Israeli bombing of a primary school. Their bodies were torn to shreds.
This is how "rescue" promised by Mr. Trump looks in reality.
From Gaza to Minab, innocents murdered in cold blood.
For years he carried in his heart the quiet supplication for shahādah, asking Allah to choose for him an end written in sacrifice and dignity.
And Allah answered him.
He received what he was searching for in the sacred month of Ramadan, while fasting and standing courageously against the Epstein regime.
