The @nytimes misses what’s really happening in #Iran. #Iranians have been calling for the overthrow of the Islamic Republic, not dismissal of “local officials.” Also water shortages have been caused by the regime’s corruption more than any other issue.

The regime’s excessive dam building is a major problem. So is diverting water from Khuzestan to other locals in order to profit corrupt regime officials.

The popular rebellion in southwestern #Iran is concentrated in Khuzestan & Lorestan. But it’s not an “Arab” issue. This is a lie spread by the separatists, their foreign backers, and their DC lobbyists...

Khuzestan is inhabited by Arab speakers, Persian speakers, Lurs, Bakhtiaris, and other smaller minority groups. They are all water deprived & repressed by the Islamic Republic.

Does the regime treat Arab Iranians terribly? Yes. Are there some separatist sentiments? Yes. But I have not seen any evidence that the rebellion is motivated by separatism. In fact the different ethnic groups have been calling for unity to overthrow the regime.

The rebellion against the occupying regime of the Islamic Republic in #Iran is becoming more & more widespread. Hearing that some cities have been “taken over” by rebels. This cannot be confirmed. But hard to imagine that the fire burning the regime can be controlled. Shadegan 👇🏼

Was just in a Clubhouse room called “Does NIAC represent the Islamic Republic in America?” Not sure if it’s really worth debating at this point lol
But many people from #Iran were listening & I’m glad they were able to obtain important info from the speakers (I just listened)

As the Islamic Republic teeters, more and more #Iranians will want to know how this regime has stayed in power. We’ll find out a lot more once the regime is gone. For now we must all stay vigilant as this regime and its supporters still stand tall.

And let’s not forget that Zarif created a very effective network of supporters across the world: businessmen, journalists, “human rights activists”, you name it. A few years ago I would have never imagined that the #IranLobby would become so influential in DC
