#Iran's people are sending an unequivocal message to the mullahs' regime: It's time for you to go!
The uprising in Iran is deep-rooted in the people's 40+ years of struggle.

#Iran's people are risking their lives. You don't need to be Iranian to have a voice about the persecution by the mullahs' regime. The protesters are moving to take power back from the regime.

In June of 2018 our government voted to list #Iran's IRGC as a terrorist entity. I pledge my voice, our colleagues’ voices, to continue to follow through to make that happen.

There is an alternative for #Iran represented in the opposition coalition NCRI (@iran_policy).
The Iranian people want a functioning democracy, equal rights, peace, a government for the people. The NCRI represents this.

#Iran's regime has been spreading false facts for more than 40 years about the Iranian opposition PMOI/MEK.
The mullahs' will execute anyone voicing support for the PMOI/MEK. 30,000 were put to death in 1988 for doing so.

Human rights should be defended in actions. Calling for dialogue w/ #Iran's regime emboldens the mullahs in their unacceptable draconian behavior.
The Magnitsky Act should be used against Iran's operatives.

The regime has been responding brutally against #Iran's protesters. Those fighting the regime need to be hearing support from Canada.

We have to make change today. Prime Minister Trudeau, we are asking you to stand up for the Iranian people and call out [the regime] like it is: they are terrorists.

In Canada, the leadership & senior membership of #Iran's IRGC, designated as inadmissible under the Immigration & Refugee Protection Act, should also be listed under the Criminal Code as a terrorist entity.

The world can help #Iran, and when you look at the things that are available for us in terms of sanctions, in terms of assisting, a pluralistic society is possible in Iran.

My brother, a student of economy, was executed at the age of 26 after enduring seven years of imprisonment. The young rebels today are the continuation of those martyrs who gave their lives those years.

In our country, Reza Shah forced women to remove their veils and Khomeini forced them to wear the veil. They are the flip sides of the same coin.

What do we need to topple #Iran's regime? Organization. Who has this organization? The MEK, the NCRI. They have a plan, and they can carry it out.

Canadian MP @jamesbezan
I denounce Khamenei & the mullahs’ regime who have trampled upon every aspect of int'l norms & values for decades. Canada must and can do more to help the people of #Iran.

@jamesbezan Canadian MP @Cooper4SAE
Now is a critical time. After five months the democratic resistance in #Iran needs every lever of support that it can get, and it's why it's so important that Canada work with our allies to assert maximum pressure on the regime.

Khoy, NW #Iran
People are forced to endure harsh winter conditions and most of the locals don't even have such equipment.
#زلزله_خوی
Khoy, NW #Iran
Local children, who are freezing in the bitter winter cold, are asking for bread and tents.
#زلزله_خوی
Khoy, NW #Iran
"Mam, send your message."

"Where are we to go? What do we have left? What are we to eat?... Please help us! Our kids, newborns, mothers, they're all under the rubbles... We have nothing left in our homes... thank you for being our voice..."

5.9 magnitude earthquake
7 dead, 816 injured
Before any ambulances and/or aid, authorities quickly dispatched anti-riot units to the earthquake hit areas to prevent any possible anti-regime protests by the locals
#زلزله_خوی
Khoy, NW #Iran
Many, if not all, of the locals are left without any aid following last night's magnitude 5.9 earthquake.
#زلزله_خوی
Khoy, NW #Iran
Security forces literally used water cannons of anti-riot vehicles to disperse a gathering of earthquake victims who are desperately seeking aid for their families.

Drone attack in Isfahan, central #Iran

Four explosions targeting a facility developing advanced weapons

Israel is silent, "but most Western intelligence & Iranian sources have credit the Mossad with similarly successful attacks"

jpost.com/middle-east/ir…

Video of the "second blast" in Isfahan, #Iran

Israel has conducted such attacks Iran
—Natanz nuclear facility, July 2020
—Natanz nuclear facility, April 2021
—nuclear facility at Karaj, June 2021
—destroying around 120 or more Iranian drones in Feb 2022
Iran's response matches those after similar incidents
Tehran is known to initially pretend that the attacks failed & only acknowledged the extent of the damage when satellite photos or other evidence broke into the public sphere, outflanking their denials.

#BREAKING
One person is killed and two wounded when a shooter opened fire at a guard post outside Azerbaijan’s embassy in Tehran, #Iran, Azerbaijan’s foreign ministry says.
#UPDATE
—Attack at 8:30 am local time
—A member of the Azerbaijan Embassy's security detail killed
—One shooter reportedly arrested

Note—This could be a false flag operation by the regime to divert attention away from today's anticipated protests in Sistan & Baluchestan Province Image
#UPDATE
More footage from the scene

My take:
Looks very much like the false flag "terrorist attack" in Shiraz, south-central #Iran, on October 26, 2022.
