"The regime severely tortured my brother. They drove nails into his feet... After he endured seven years in prison and torture chambers, he was killed by the regime."

"One day, my father was summoned to the prison. He thought his son was released. But instead, they informed him that Reza was executed and they gave him a bag with his belongings."

"The massacre of the political prisoners of #Iran in 1988 was one of the worst crimes in the post-World War II era. The regime lied to the world. But the truth has come out."

Rep. @RepCohen

"What’s going on in #Iran is still horrific. The actions of the government have been repression against the people’s rights. It’s more important than ever to remember the victims of the #1988Massacre. We must have a free Iran."

Rep. @AngieCraigMN

"I join you to condemn the #1988Massacre. I join the thousands who raise their voices to call justice for the victims. We both have a history of disavowing the terrorism of the regime against the people of #Iran. I will support you."

Rep. @DebbieLesko

I’m a co-sponsor of the House resolution that condemns the regime and calls for a non-nuclear #Iran.
I appreciate what you’re doing and stand with you to support your mission.

"#Iran's regime has continued its campaign of terror at home and abroad. They regularly target Iranians who call out their rights abuses. The Iranian regime is the biggest state-sponsor of terrorism."

.@CongressmanRaja

"Together, we need to support the ongoing fight for human rights in #Iran & speak the truth of the past, including the mass executions of thousands of pol prisoners in 1988. This slaughter was carried out under the order of Khomeini."

.@PJK4brainhealth

"It’s important that we remember who we are dealing with, the mullahs in #Iran, and we recognize that things really have not changed... We saw it last year in the uprisings, and all those young people killed in Iran’s streets."

.@kenblackwell

"In 1988, 30,000 political prisoners were victims of summary executions by the regime of #Iran. We must be protectors of human dignity everywhere. We can’t be on the ground in Iran. But we can do what we can where we are."

"I knew Kazem Rajavi. He belongs in the human rights Hall of Fame. He was assassinated thirty years ago by Ayatollah Khamenei."

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!”

@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.
