@susankhazaeli @ChronicBabak 1/ So let me weigh in on two points from earlier on the inauthentic and the diaspora's activism. Sorry for the super long thread coming up.
So, in my view, the diaspora is more interested in what is going on in Iran and how to support demonstrators today than at any other time.

@susankhazaeli @ChronicBabak 2/ I also believe that a number of actors have exploited the recent protests to fuel these tensions.
I've witnessed it throughout the years. I don't follow or think much about Kaveh, but I know he exists and has been pushing this smear for years.

@susankhazaeli @ChronicBabak 3/ I believe my first interaction with him was when he went after Jason Rezanian in 2018 or 2019.
The new aspect is the Inauthentic amplification, it's a serious issue because it attempts to game the algorithm on Twitter and I believe Instagram.

Breaking: Iran national football club stand mournfully and refuse to sing national anthem of clerical regime during first match against England at World Cup 2022 in act of protest against Khamenei henchmen’s violence
Better video from @NatalieAmiri shows more clearly the refusal of Iran #TeamMelli to sing national anthem of Islamic regime
Huge risk for these guys. Regime has issued arrest warrants for football legends who have spoken out against it, and has arrested famous actresses just for appearing without hijab in public. How will they be treated when they return to Tehran to a heroes welcome at the airport?
1. So #GroupB of the #WorldCup with #Spain, #Portugal, #Morocco and #Iran is the best group ever and we already know what will happen. You just need to look back to the turn of the 16th century and events that linked all of these countries (and Russia). History will repeat. 
2. In 1578, at the Battle of Ksar El Kebir in Morocco, the young king of Portugal Sebastian I, who had allied with deposed Sultan Abu Abdallah Mohammed against usurper Abd Al-Malik I, died. The next in line, Cardinal Henry, also promptly died. A succession crisis followed.
3. The end of the House of Aviz led to the Iberian Union in 1580, when Philip II of Spain marched into Portugal and defeated the troops loyal to the Prior of Crato, another claimant to the throne, in the Battle of Alcântara. Spain and Portugal were united. (Portrait by Titian)
