Three years ago today, the U.S. military took out #Iran’s IRGC Quds Force chief Qassem Soleimani, the world’s No. 1 terrorist.

Soleimani was a ruthless killer loathed by people throughout Iran and across the Middle East.

Yet MSM glorified him.

2)
We all remember how #Iran’s dictator Ali Khamenei wept at a ceremony for Soleimani, knowing his regime had suffered a strategic setback.

@nytimes

3)
The @nytimes, through the known #Iran apologist @farnazfassihi, described Soleimani as a
- “popular general”
- “national war hero”
- “Iran’s intrigue”

Bahar Khorshidi, killed by #Iran's security forces during #IranRevolution in late September or early October. The media has been silent.
Her family was forced to move from Tehran to northern Iran and they would not answer any phone calls from any friends.

2)
Bahar's younger sister was in shock & wouldn't talk for months. Bahar's mother finally opened up & just said:
"Bahar died!" It was obvious she was terrified.
Friends & family wanted to reach out to the media, but they had no evidence until Bahar's sister finally began to talk.

3)
The two sisters & their mother had went to a clothing shop. Authorities were tracking them as they had put up anti-regime statements on various walls.
The authorities were able to arrest Bahar's mother & sister, while she was able to flee home where she informed her father.
