@amanpour We stand by this story, which was based on extensive reporting and rigorous sourcing. The bylines on this story belong to four of the world's most deeply-sourced experts on international affairs and diplomacy who have repeatedly revealed important details about the war.
@deedydas@shek_dev@YashVrdn "exactly what I thought"? Sir, do you even read the abstract of the papers that you post about? The abstract of this one literally starts with "A single two-input gate suffices for all of Boolean logic in digital hardware."
Tehran and Washington are both escalating by raising each other’s costs in unexpected ways. Pursued recklessly, this path would lead to unexpected humanitarian catastrophes, in Iran and the wider region.
What an absolute disgrace! The regime has suffocated all means of communication with the outside world for the public. @nytimes’s reaction: Let’s dedicate a full column to the diary of the president’s son.
The blown-up police station in Niavaran, Tehran was where the hijab police took me to when I was 16 because my mandatory garment (the long tunic or shirt we had to always wear) did not reach my knees. Among the detainees there was a woman who dared to argue with those thugs, saying her father was a martyr of Iran-Iraq war. After intensely insulting her late father, the officers took her to a back room and beat her up. Initially we heard her screaming and the thudding of them kicking her with their boots. After a few minutes silence ensued. To this day I wonder what happened to her.
A pragmatic kingpin who oversaw the massacre of 32 thousand innocent lives. It’s like feeling sorry for the killing of Hamas terrorists. Have you people no shame?
In memory of all the innocent, brave, freedom loving lives of my fellow Iranians, and all the innocents that were killed by the orders of "that" murderous fanatic dictator...
The news we've been waiting for all of our lives has finally come... LONG LIVE IRAN
پاینده ایران!
«از من خواسته شد تا توضیحاتم را ارائه دهم و من حقیقت را گفتم: من هر شب برای تظاهرات بیرون نمیرفتم و هر روز صبح در خیابان خودم هیچ جسدی را که روی زمین افتاده بود، نمیدیدم.»
بله، از متن همین بیانیهی مطبوعاتی (!) مشخصه که حقیقت رو گفتی.
از متن همین *بیانیه مطبوعاتی*
«از ترس جانم و به دنبال توصیههای وزارت امور اروپا و امور خارجه فرانسه، *پس از استفاده از سلاح گرم توسط *نیروهای امنیتی*، در تظاهرات شرکت نکردم*» «توانستم شاهد... و حتی از پنجرهام، استفاده گسترده از سلاح برای ساکت کردن معترضان باشم»
📺 The BBC cancelled almost all TV and radio interviews on #Iran's internet blackout they'd scheduled or suggested changing topic to other outages. With huge respect to BBC journos, this wastes human rights monitors' time, hasn't happened in past crises, and needs investigation.
I’m devastated. A good friend and dormmate of mine, Amin Pourfarhang, has been sentenced to death after protesting in Iran 😭 He’s one of the kindest people I’ve ever known.
Please share. Visibility raises the cost for the Islamic Republic and may stop this execution!
Still, it's always sad to see that for many people - especially people who have some sort of meaningful power - their ideology comes first. Anything that goes against their ideological world view is to be dismissed, or ignored. But history will remember.
Well, this is not a surprise for anyone with a bare minimum of decency and common sense who has followed @FranceskAlbs 's actions and statements over the years.
LEFT: U.N. “human rights expert” Francesca Albanese says she's silent on slaughter of Iranian protesters as it's beyond her Palestinian areas mandate to which she is “rigorously dedicated.”
RIGHT: Albanese last week condemning U.S. for arresting dictator Maduro in Venezuela.
URGENT🚨: Islamic Republic Ministry of Intelligence forces raided Milad Hospital in Isfahan, kidnapping several doctors who treated wounded protesters. Their lives are now in grave danger. #DigitalBlackoutIran#Iran
