The terror attack at embassy of #Azerbaijan Republic (#Baku) in #Tehran, #Iran is most likely a false flag operation of Azerbaijani Intel service. Authorities of the Baku were fully prepared to release statements for this attack. Even Azerbajani media had received notice before!
This CCTV footage shows inside the #Baku embassy in #Tehran, #Iran, when the 50 year old attacker armed with an AK-47 Assault rifle entered and opened fire at people inside. Head of the security of #Azerbaijan embassy attempted to stop him & he was wounded.
With the heroic action of this man, head of security of the emnbassy of #Azerbaijan Republic (#Baku), the terrorist who is believed to be hired by Azerbaijani Intelligence failed to kill more people inside the embassy in #Tehran, #Iran.

Where is #Iran heading?🧵

1- After almost 4 months of protests, Iran can't afford a return to the way things were prior to the killing of #MahsaAmini. As i predicted in Oct Iran enters a period of hyper-uncertainty & instability; a period in which the regime won't be able to...
2- extinguish #IranRevoIution & Iranians cannot topple the regime in the immediate future. But, given the regime's use of extreme forms of repression (i.e. summary executions of teenagers) all bridges btw people & regime are burnt. Now, all bets are off!
3- Regardless of state narratives of victory over "rioters", neither side is winning or losing. For now, #Iran & #Khamenei's regime have fought themselves into a stalemate. The country is a powder keg ready to explode but we never know when the next volcano of protest will erupt.

The @nytimes and other Western outlets reported that #Iran has abolished its #morality_patrol, which enforces the mandatory hijab. But this is an overstatement. The regime has not made any such concession as #Iran_protests enter their twelfth straight week. (1/7)
This reporting is based on misinterpreted remarks from Iranian Prosecutor General #Montazeri on December 3. Montazeri noted that the regime has reduced morality patrols—comments mistakenly framed by Western media as confirming the abolition of the patrol. (2/7)
Iranian state media quickly clarified that Montazeri was only acknowledging the reduced morality patrols but not confirming their abolition. No other regime official has indicated the end of the patrol. (3/7)

That is not a serious issue. Since the beginning of the revolution, we have faced many problems of this kind. This is the war between Islam and Kufr. Enemies are upset, that is why they do what they do & they have some assistants inside the country too but we should not worry! /2
If we fulfill our divine duties, God shall help us. Ayat. Khamenei added, "Whoever can do anything to help Islam and the Islamic system but doesn't do so and remains silent, is doing a Haram act"
