I am very glad to hear from @POTUS that Iranian media reports about the so-called deal are fake because the deal as described by Iran would be awful. President Trump and our military deserve a lot of credit for making Iran the weakest they’ve been since 1979 through a combination of highly effective military strikes and a crushing blockade. However, we must remember the Iranian regime has killed 42,000 of their own people for simply wanting a better life, and their leadership are radical religious Nazis. 

As to any potential deal, it must be compared to the JCPOA, and I am hopeful that it will be vastly different. The idea of a $300 billion reconstruction fund, given who is in charge of Iran, seems to be tone deaf. It would be akin to a Marshall Plan for Germany with the Nazis still in charge. That wouldn’t have been a good idea then, and any reconstruction fund that benefits this terrorist regime wouldn’t be a good idea now.

As to the Iranian nuclear program, President Trump’s red line has been no enrichment. I hope that holds — as it must.

Allowing Iran to enrich under the JCPOA was one of the major flaws of that terrible deal. As I’ve stated before, any deal with Iran must come to Congress for scrutiny and approval.

@SGhasseminejad Find away of overpowering prisons and free all the political prisoners so that the regime can't continue executions.

To those trying to make a deal with President Trump: Would you consider turning over Mojtaba Khamenei to him in part of your deal? Think of the benefits!

[starcat @WildStarcat]

Several in the remaining 20% would have placed themselves in danger to say anything bad about the Regime over phones or unsecured internet connections, where IRGC and Basij could spy on them.

When Nazis from Germany invaded France in WWII and the Allies fought them, did the Allies say that they were attacking France? No! Why can't more people make a distinction between the decent people of Iran and the violent regime occupying them?

[Reza Pahlavi @PahlaviReza]

جمهوری اسلامی در حمایت از تروریست‌های حزب‌الله لبنان، درگیری نظامی دیگری را آغاز کرد تا ماهیت ناایرانی و ضدایرانی خود را آشکارتر کند. این رژیم، ملت ایران را به گروگان گرفته و جان و مال ایرانیان را ابزاری برای صدور ترور، جنگ و بی‌ثباتی می‌بیند.

در این درگیری نیز، همچون همیشه، مسئول هرگونه آسیب به زیرساخت‌های ایران و جان غیرنظامیان بی‌گناه در هر دو سو، جمهوری اسلامی است.

ملت ایران، که نخستین و بزرگ‌ترین قربانی این رژیم بوده است، به‌خوبی می‌داند که تا زمانی که جمهوری اسلامی بر سر کار باشد، ترور، خشونت و بی‌ثباتی بر ایران، منطقه و جهان سایه خواهد افکند. ��لح، امنیت و رونق پایدار تنها با پایان این رژیم امکان‌پذیر است.

راه‌حل، مذاکره با سپاه پاسداران و تروریست‌های اشغالگر ایران نیست؛ راه‌حل، ایستادن در کنار ملت ایران و حمایت از مبارزه آن برای پایان دادن به جمهوری اسلامی است.

Another thing people generally need to know is that it is likely more than 95% of people in Iran do not support the Regime. I’m hearing this from many Iranian sources. There was a study completed by Netherlands-based GAMAAN that acknowledges up to 81% don't support the Regime.

After 88 days of silence, the internet, although heavily filtered and monitored by the IRGC, is back online inside Occupied Iran.

Those who have been carrying water for the Islamic Regime will be getting a rude awakening from Iranians who manage to secretly access social media.

Imagine a man walks onto your street.

He smashes the windows of ten different houses.
He pours gasoline on the walls. Then, right in the middle of the intersection, he pulls a knife and stabs his own child in the stomach.

The police arrive. But instead of taking him down, they offer to "negotiate" with him so he stops setting fires.

You are reading this thinking it is absolute insanity.

You know a neighborhood cannot survive under those rules.
It would burn to the ground.

So why does the free world think global geopolitics works any differently?

The terrorist Islamic Regime has launched missiles at ten different nations from Israel and Saudi Arabia to the UAE and Cyprus. At the exact same time, they are actively slaughtering their own youth in the streets of occupied Iran.

And the international community’s response?
They want to sit at a table and "negotiate."

Get this through your heads. You cannot negotiate with a rabid death cult that is burning down the neighborhood and executing its own children.

The global system cannot sustain this cancer.

There is no diplomatic solution. There is only the end of the occupation.

[Hooman M. Melamed MD FAAOS @DrHMelamed]

A direct message to President Trump @realDonaldTrump @POTUS
Sir, you have done what no other President had the guts to do in 47 years: you stood up to the tyrannical, blood-sucking Islamic regime. But regarding your Truth Social post saying "they'll be laughing no more"—I am begging you to listen to those of us with family actively living inside the country.
The Iranian people are deflated because they want the military campaign to CONTINUE. The strikes were demoralizing the IRGC and the Basij. Now, the regime feels they have a new lease on life because they think the U.S. has retreated due to political and economic pressure.
Here is the exact blueprint to finish what you started and collapse this regime faster than anyone thinks:
1️⃣ Restore the Internet: The people cannot organize or communicate if they are in the dark. Give them Internet. Even if armed, they can’t uprise w/out internet
2️⃣ Buy Off the Low-Level Military: The Artesh and low-level IRGC commanders are not ideological; they are just trying to survive. Offer them $1 million or asylum. They will defect overnight and turn their weapons on the regime.
3️⃣ Arm the People: 80 million Iranians want this regime gone. Give them the means to fight back. Just need to arm half a million at most
4️⃣ Eliminate the Remaining First-Tier: Ejei, Ghalibaf, Araghchi, Vahidi, @s_m_marandi , Jalili, Hejazi. The head of the snake is still breathing. Cut it off.
5️⃣ Unleash Israel: Let the IDF do what they do best without holding them back.
We can end this 47-year nightmare. Please watch the video and share to get this on the President's desk. 👇

They Expect You to Be the Next Victim

Just a reminder that October 7th was over two years ago, and not only did the press downplay the massive atrocities committed against women and children, but governments including our own purposely buried critical facts from the public.

People were not told that Osama bin Laden’s own sons were involved in the planning for this massive coordinated attack, or that it was not just Hamas on the ground. Terrorists tied to Al-Qaeda, ISIS, and yes, even the Taliban of all things, were all there, too. The terrorists have evolved and we can’t even get the truth out to the public regarding this convergence.

I like to ask people, why do you think so many of the attackers during October 7th were on hooked Captagon? Because they got hooked on it sitting around in Syria waiting for the attacks to kick off. A simple fact no one seems to understand.

When you are lied to about the enemy, a large portion of the country is left mentally and physically unprepared. October 7th is not viewed by these terrorist groups as an isolated event. It was treated as a dress rehearsal for their upcoming attacks against the U.S. homeland.

That is not speculation, it is what Al-Qaeda senior trainers told terrorists while they were cross-training in Afghanistan for both October 7th and the U.S. homeland plot. If your math is good you are realizing some of these terrorists have been on U.S. soil since 2023. They think about the attack they are going to carry out every single second of every day. They walk by you on the street and the supermarket and fantasy about the harm coming to you.

Our government can stick its head in the sand all it wants and continue to make a mockery out of the counterterrorism fight, but refusing to educate yourself on the tactics used by the more than 8,000 terrorists involved in the October 7th attack does not just put you at a disadvantage, it puts the people you love at risk too.

Do not look away, especially when that is exactly what the terrorists and the useful idiots aiding and abetting them want. They expect you to stay distracted, silent, fearful, and willing to become the next victim.

Time to say: HELL NO!

SCANDAL: Stolen help for Iran! 🚨

If you're wondering what happened to the help and support intended for the Iranian people, here is your answer.

Meet Ebrahim Oveysi, a commander of the separatist group PAK. Just a few weeks ago, he was on Instagram threatening to burn and behead Iranian monarchists. Now, he’s running a black-market operation selling STOLEN Starlink terminals.

These thugs intercepted the help and are now profiteering from it. Even worse, they are likely working with the IRGC to trap anyone who tries to buy one. They are betraying the Iranian people and sabotaging President Trump’s efforts.

I don’t have anything against any peace-loving Muslims and I’m not anti-Muslim. Yet, Khomeini-ism, the brand supported by many in the IRGC and Basij has been murderous and oppressive to millions. It is a version of twelver Shia with support of Jurists, and they want their religious leaders (mullahs) to rule the whole world, politically. In my opinion, they shouldn’t have the religious freedom to harm women and other people. It isn’t a good version of this religion to spread. I don’t support it.

Watch this short explainer to understand how the Islamic Republic builds networks of indoctrination in the United States, exporting the same ideology it uses to terrorize Iran.

[Siaxares 🇮🇷 سیاکسارِس @siaxares]

As an Iranian still inside Iran, I stare at this chart and feel nothing but pure despair and fury .

70 days.

Seventy straight days of total disconnection from the global internet. Seventy days since the Islamic Republic flipped the switch and plunged 90 million of us into darkness. Look at the graph: from nearly 100% connectivity to a flatline 1-2%. “SHUTDOWN” — that single word says it all.

Students cannot access knowledge. Universities are dead. Young Iranians who dream of medicine, engineering, or simply learning the truth about their own history are now cut off from the entire world’s libraries. Online businesses that were the only lifeline for families are going bankrupt one by one — people who sold their last belongings to survive are now watching their only source of income vanish into the blackout. Basic internet access is dead. Parents cannot even message their children abroad. Peopel cannot work. The entire country is suffocating in silence.

And the regime is doing this on purpose.

They are hiding their atrocities. While the world scrolls past, they are hanging a person every 6 hours on average — public executions, secret torture chambers, bodies piling up while the internet stays dark so no videos can leak out. They massacre protesters, fill ditches with blood, and then broadcast their selective propaganda through the few channels they still control.

This is not a technical failure.
This is calculated evil.

They want us blind, deaf, and isolated so they can continue their 47-year slaughter without the world seeing. While they hunt Starlink users with $2,000 bounties, torture innocent fathers to death, and roll out their loyalty-based “White Simcard” internet for regime loyalists only.

We have endured 70 days of this hell. We have endured 47 years of systematic torture, rape, executions, grief, and lies. We danced in the streets when Khamenei was removed because we saw the light at the end of the tunnel.

We are still willing to endure the blackouts, the hunger, the fear, the economic collapse — everything — if it means this evil regime finally falls and our suffering is not in vain.President Trump, the free world — look at this chart. Look at what they are doing to us. Stop listening to their propaganda. Expose the massacre happening in the dark.

The blood of our people is still wet on the streets. Their screams are still echoing.

The Lion and Sun will rise again.

One suicide bomber and one armed, trained terrorist and they would have been screwed. Not to mention the new cells are trained 5-10 man teams. That security configuration never could have handled 5. We literally know how they are training and no one is increasing security postures based on it. It’s incredibly frustrating to see. And it’s a pathway to a massive security failure where people are going to die next time and we won’t hear any more jokes about dresses.
