1/ Did you know that the Iranian regime has been waging a sophisticated campaign in the U.S. Congress against the #Iran uprising & those seeking change in Iran?

The campaign uses MAHSA, who was murdered in Sep 2022 by the regime, to cover its true agenda.

#No2ShahNo2Mullahs
2/ The regime in #Iran aims to derail the revolution & target those seeking regime change, particularly the MEK, the main Iranian opposition.

Using various individuals & dubious groups as cover, Tehran seeks to demonize the MEK & NCRI’s President-Elect @Maryam_Rajavi.
3/ By portraying the ongoing revolution in #Iran as an attempt to return to Shah’s dictatorship, the regime hopes to deflate the uprising inside Iran and discourage international support.

1- NIAC, #Iran regime’s lobby arm in the U.S., since Sept. 2022 uprisings in Iran, came under increased criticism for its incessant support for the regime of mullahs since its 2002 inception. Yet, it maintains its services to repressive ruling mullahs in Iran.
#HRes100
2- NIAC issued a statement and sent letters to Members of U.S. Congress echoing the Iranian regime’s utmost anger against a popular resolution, #HRes100 supporting a Secular, Democratic, Non-Nuclear Republic of #Iran.
3- #HRes100, introduced by @RepMcClintock and @BradSherman with 165 original co-sponsors, has now reached over 190. This resolution is also intended to send a strong signal to the #Iran'ian regime by holding it accountable for murders inside Iran and terrorism abroad.

1) The Iranian regime, since February 8, 2023 has become unhinged as a result of a key congressional legislation in support of the uprising in #Iran and a pathway to a democratic, secular Republic Iran. #HRes100
(bit.ly/HRes100)
@RepMcClintock @BradSherman
2) #HRes100 “Expressing support for the Iranian people's desire for a democratic secular & nonnuclear Republic of Iran, & condemning violations of human rights and state-sponsored terrorism by the Iranian Government,” was submitted with an impressive 165 original co-sponsors.
3) That was enough to draw the ire of the #Iran'ian regime. Immediately, all state-run media, & senior officials started attacking Members of the U.S. Congress for this bi-partisan and extremely popular resolution.

2.@SenTedCruz: the Iranian regime is terrified of dissidents. Just recently, I and others were sanctioned by the regime. What was the reason, what was they so afraid of; because of speaking with and engaging the MEK. #Westand4FreeIran

A large number of those designated by the Iranian regime, are would be targets of the regime’s terror plot by convicted diplomat Asadollah Assadi, in the 2018 Free Iran World Summit in Paris. Tehran is seeking a controversial deal with Belgium to free Assadi. #DontFreeTerrorists
These 61 Americans sanctioned by #Iran's regime are fighting state-sponsored terrorism by the ruling theocracy in Iran. Today’s designation should be an added reason why Belgium must not return the regime’s convicted terrorist Assadi, as a gift to Tehran.

THREAD on impunity in Iran ⬇️

Ebrahim Raisi's government has sent a new law to Parliament for ratification that would allow all armed forces or agents in Iran to be able to use their weapons to attack dissident protesters without fear of consequences, state media reported today. Image
While the opposition routinely sends out footage from Iran via social media of armed forces shooting at defenceless protesters, the new law is aimed at giving blanket immunity to those armed forces who are caught firing at people during the #IranProtests.

Today's state-run @EtemadOnline has this headline:

"New government bill: Granting the right to security agents to use weapons in 'illegal armed demonstrations'"

i.e. Raisi is authorising Iran's security forces to open fire on the #IranProtests
