@thewriterme@FarmGirlCarrie Well, I wouldn't have been in the ladies' room, but my wife and I teach practical (street-style) self defense, so I don't imagine she'd have been too kind....😆😆😆
....and after she was done with them, then I might have chimed in, just to put a point on the matter.....
🚨 DIRECT FROM INSIDE IRAN: "Arm us."
This video was just transmitted directly to me from a woman inside Iran. She is taking a massive risk to smuggle this footage to the outside world because she needs the international community to understand the reality on the ground.
Her message is not a symbolic plea. For her, and for the millions she represents, this is a tactical necessity for survival. She is showing the world that peaceful protest against this regime is an impossibility.
The objective reality driving her demand is clear. Since the uprising erupted in December 2025, the state's violence has been absolute. Security forces are documented repeatedly opening fire with live ammunition directly into unarmed demonstrations, and tens of thousands of civilians have already been killed.
The Iranian people are facing an apparatus fully willing to execute its own citizens to retain power. They are not asking for foreign boots on the ground. They are asking for the basic means to defend themselves against a systemic slaughter.
She risked her life to bypass the blackouts and get this video out. The world needs to confront this reality.
