 Today we mark the World Day Against the Death Penalty.

Help us save them.

 Please share this thread for more people to be informed about executions in #Iran.

Please contact your representative; ask them to condemn the mullahs' atrocities & adopt a firm policy vis-a-vis this genocidal regime.

 The Obama/Biden administration was in bed with #Iran’s regime from day one.

Meaning in 2009.

Far before the notorious 2015 nuclear deal that provided Iran access to $150 billion in credit & $1.8 billion in unmarked cash.

First watch this:

 Video/audio/docs out soon.

One look back:
By the summer of 2012, US intel/security officers in Libya warned their chain of command that #Iran was preparing a terrorist attack on the US compound in Benghazi.

The Obama/Biden admin knew. And did nothing.

 “The CIA, the NSA, and Joint Special Forces Operations Command operatives in Benghazi and in Tripoli were actively monitoring Iranian operations in Benghazi in the months leading up to the attacks.”

Europe is so weak in the face of #Iran's regime that an Iranian diplomat on trial of terrorism literally threatened European authorities of "retaliation" by armed groups in Iraq, Lebanon, Yemen and Syria, if he is found guilty.

An Iranian diplomat charged in Belgium with planning to bomb a meeting of an exiled Iranian opposition group in France warned authorities of possible retaliation by unidentified groups if he is found guilty.

"Assadi told the police that groups in Iran, Iraq, Lebanon, Yemen and Syria were interested in the outcome of his case and would be 'watching from the sidelines to see if Belgium would support them or not.'”

 #Iran’s FM @JZarif is in #China today & tomorrow, most likely to sell-off more of Iran’s wealth for political protection from the Chinese Communist Party.

Chinese fishing boats are already destroying marine life in Iran’s southern waters.
2)
 Local fishermen in SE Iran:
-These ships are “vacuuming” all the fish, local fishermen are out of work
-Chinese ships are fishing but authorities have banned locals
-Chinese ships are destroying marine life here
-The [Chinese] are destroying the reefs
3)
 This courageous Baloch fisherman from SE Iran saved a whale from a trawling net. The whale was of an endangered species.

He bravely criticizes the Chinese & Iran’s regime about bottom trawling & the plundering of his country.

All live on air.

 U.S. imposes new crippling sanctions on #Iran’s financial sector, targeting the regime’s support of terrorism & other malign activities.

Note: humanitarian transactions will continue.
2)
 "...sanctions on key sectors of Iran’s economy in order to deny the Iranian government financial resources that may be used to fund & support its nuclear program, missile development, terrorism & terrorist proxy networks, and malign regional influence."
home.treasury.gov/news/press-rel…
3)
 Iran uses these banks to bypass sanctions in order to continue funding the Assad regime in Syria & proxies across the region:

Assad—$15 billion/year
Hezbollah—$700 million/year
Houthis—at least $360 million/year
Hamas—$360 million/year
Iraqi militias—$150 million/year

#BREAKING
Oct 8—Tehran, #Iran
Following the death of Mohammad-Reza Shajarian, an iconic vocalist master of traditional Persian music, Iranians are out in the streets in his memory.

Interestingly they're chanting:
"State media is a disgrace!"

Note:
Iranians also hate #FakeNews
Oct 8—Tehran, #Iran
More scenes of large crowds commemorating Mohammad-Reza Shajarian, an iconic vocalist who passed away today.

"State media is a disgrace!"
"Dictators die, a brave man never dies!"

Officials are deeply concerned of anti-regime protests.
Oct 8—Tehran, #Iran
Large crowd chanting: "Death to the dictator!"

Note:
This is exactly why the regime is terrified of any gathering in Iran. They quickly evolve into anti-regime #IranProtests.

 Prof. Norbert Lammert
Former Bundestag President
Execution of Navid Afkari & Mostafa Salehi led to int'l outrage & focus on this regime. This regime is criminalizing any kind of resistance & prosecuting political dissidents.
