I’ve been thinking about how everyone is gaming out a “potential” Iran deal. President Trump calls it “largely negotiated” and Don Jr, (shamelessly) is already hyping it as an absolute win, but nowhere in their victory lap are the Iranian people themselves. If the U.S. Navy has Iran blockaded and Tehran has no real air force or navy left, why are we talking about showering this regime with concessions at all? When you hold all the cards and still feel the need to bribe a terror state to act human, it does not look like America is the side that is winning. Meanwhile the IRGC is hanging protesters and political prisoners like Milad Armon, Mohammad‑Mehdi Hosseini, Navid Najaran and Mehdi Imani, young men who were told help was on the way and are instead walking to the gallows. @marklevinshow@LindseyGrahamSC
President Trump keeps proudly talking about “eight women” he says he just saved from execution. A couple months ago he said he spoke to the Islamic Republic, asked them not to hang 800 people on death row, and that out of respect for him they agreed. He is being sincere. The story is not.
While he repeats that line, the same regime has already executed close to 1000 people since that time. They just killed Sasan Azadvar, a 21‑year‑old karate champion from Isfahan, arrested in the January uprising and hanged after torture and a fake trial. They tortured and killed Hesam Ghalaleddin, a mall owner whose “crime” was having Starlink and trying to give people uncensored internet.
Their blood is proof that the Islamic Republic is still killing right despite what @potus is being told. @marklevinshow@SecRubio
Whether or not Europe stands with us, whether or not your journalists do their jobs, whether or not your politicians demonstrate the courage to act, I will fight for my people and my country.
This is October 7th all over again.
The Iranian regime creates the crisis, closes the Strait of Hormuz, and then begs the world to focus on “America attacking our infrastructure.”
They want the strike, they want the images, they are even putting children on bridges and around key sites as human shields so that if anything happens, the world sees dead and wounded kids instead of the regime’s aggression.
They want to flip public opinion the same way Hamas did once the bombs started falling.
This is October 7th all over again. The same playbook. The same gaslighting. @POTUS@LindseyGrahamSC@marcorubio
You don’t defeat a regime by destroying the country it has occupied!
That just turns 90 million natural US allies into enemies over night!!
A r m the ppl to topple it
that’s the most effective path.
Destroying #Iran ’s infrastructures is the dumbest idea, with all due respect
Posting this with a lot of hope that, by some miracle, President Trump sees it.
If you believe in helping the Iranian people, not bombing Iran “back to the Stone Ages,” please watch, share, and tag

Iran is not the Islamic Republic.
Iran’s civilian infrastructure belongs to the Iranian people and to the future of a free Iran. The Islamic Republic’s infrastructure is the machinery of repression and terror used to keep that future from becoming reality.
Iran must be protected. The regime must be dismantled.
I ask President Trump and Prime Minister Netanyahu to continue targeting the regime and its apparatus of repression, while sparing the civilian infrastructure Iranians will need to rebuild our country.
With the support of the US and Israel, and above all the sacrifice of Iranian patriots, the hour of Iran’s freedom is at hand.
Long live Iran!
Targeting Iran’s civilian infrastructure is a grave strategic error. Obliterating power plants will not degrade the IRGC’s military capabilities or liberate the Iranian people; it will only punish the millions who have bravely stood as your greatest allies on the ground. For years, Iranians have lobbied the West, trusted you, and risked everything to oppose this regime.
To destroy the foundations of a post‑Islamic Republic economy is to sabotage the very vision of “Making Iran Great Again.” If the United States ever puts troops on the ground, success will hinge on the cooperation of the Iranian people. To eliminate the IRGC, you need Iranians to facilitate your objectives, or at the very least trust your intentions enough to yield the battlespace.
If that trust is shattered by the destruction of hospitals, water systems, and power, the mission is lost. Never underestimate the power of Iranian patriotism. When the West attacks a nation’s lifelines, it does not break the regime; it gifts it the oxygen of nationalism to survive. Do not hand a dying terrorist cartel a lifeline at the expense of its own victims. @POTUS@marklevinshow@SecRubio@LindseyGrahamSC

Everyone in the Iranian diaspora, and everyone who cares about Iran, needs to watch this video. We need all hands on deck right now, because our message has to be much sharper and focused on what actually helps people inside Iran, not on distractions. @marklevinshow@POTUS@elonmusk #RezaPahlaviForIran

Dear Elon,
In these critical days, the people of Iran need internet access. Please help them stay connected as they struggle to reclaim their country from the rule of the mullahs. Stand with the Iranian people. Iran will not forget its friends.
