#BREAKING
U.S. imposes sanctions on two UAE-based companies, accusing them of providing support to #Iran's IRGC-affiliated airline Mahan Air.

“The Iranian regime uses Mahan Air as a tool to spread its destabilizing agenda around the world, including to the corrupt regimes in Syria and Venezuela, as well as terrorist groups throughout the Middle East,” Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin said.

Quoted back in 2017:

“In short, Mahan Air is the pseudo name for ‘IRGC Air.’ This front carrier is a primary asset in the IRGC’s fueling of Iran’s belligerence across the region."

And for those interested, this thread explains last month's encounter between a suspicious Mahan Air flight and intercepting U.S. warplanes over Syria.

So, #Iran's IRGC launches a drone attack in NE Syria, killing one American contractor and wounding several U.S. troops.

But MSM is hyped about a recent Saudi-Iran agreement and wants you to trust Tehran, the world's leading state-sponsor of terrorism.

Think about that. ImageImageImage
Biden & his admin claim they "will take all necessary measures to defend our people."

However, "Iran has launched 78 attacks on US positions in Syria since January 2021" with minimum response from the Biden admin.

Why? To revive Obama's failed nuke deal.

US warplanes likely targeted
—Harabesh area of Deir Ez Zor, E Syria, near a military airport
—ammo depot of #Iran's IRGC militia near the former Nasr Center building
—site in the vicinity of Port Said Street in Deir Ez Zor center

Be on the right side of history. Be on the side of the Iranian people, not of the mullahs. Be on the side of freedom, not short-term economic opportunity.

Iranian women know all too well, as all freedom loving Iranians do, that their true emancipation, democracy, freedom and liberty will only be achieved by the overthrow of this regime in its entirety.

New book by @STRUANSTEVENSON

"Dictatorship & Revolution: #Iran- A Contemporary History"

#IranRevolution
#No2ShahNo2Mullahs
twitter.com/i/broadcasts/1…
.@Mahifeh23
The most common slogan in #IranRevolution identified in these protests is “Death to the dictator!” and “Death to the oppressor, be it the Shah or the mullahs!”
#No2ShahNo2Mullahs

@Mahifeh23 .@giannagancia
I would like to thank @STRUANSTEVENSON for his important new book. I think it's very important to fight against the theocratic regime in #Iran & it's important to wake up all the people about what really is happening in Iran.

THREAD

1)
 With this thread I aim to raise attention about Twitter’s ongoing shadow-banning.

After a series of back-and-forth letters, @TwitterSupport informed me that my account “has been permanently marked as potentially sensitive.”

Any explanation? None.

@TwitterSupport @elonmusk @TwitterSafety @RichardGrenell @JessieJaneDuff @rising_serpent @skb_sara @AmandaMilius @joekent16jan19 @LeeSmithDC @AKA_RealDirty @DumisaniTemsgen 2)
It gets even more interesting:

“There is currently no way to appeal a decision by Twitter that permanently changes your account setting to Mark media you tweet as containing material that may be sensitive…” Image
3)
 Through the years, Twitter has informed me of a few tweets they wanted deleted. I have complied every time.

My work focuses on Iran, the regime’s crimes and corruption, the West’s appeasement policy, and Iran’s network of apologists/lobbyists.

This has angered some people.
