Comparisons of bad and worse are never accepted, torture and killing political dissidents will not be allowed in a future Iran. There shouldn't be any praise of the SAVAK or the brutal IRGC, both of which have suppressed the Iranian people. #WomenLifeFreedom#IranProtests
Returning to tyranny yet again will not take place evident from the sharp slogans against all dictatorships, however, it should not even be a discussion. #Iranprotests#MahsaAmini#IranRevolution
The people of Iran have chanted slogans against the monarchy and the ruling religious dictatorship. This makes it evident that they reject both absolute clerical rule and hereditary absolute rule. #Iranprotests#MahsaAmini#IranRevolution
In the future of Iran, the dissolution of the IRGC, Basij, and other repressive institutions must first take place. Followed by the freedom of the press, speech, political parties, and assembly. The Universal Declaration of Humans Rights must also be implemented. #IRGCterrorists

The Iranian regime for decades exported its terrorism throughout the world as one of the pillars of its survival. It conducts these operations through the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps Quds Force (IRGC-QF) and Ministry of Intelligence and Security (MOIS). #IRGCterrorists

The commander of the FTO IRGC-QF is Esmail Qaani, whose predecessor Qassem Soleimani was taken out in a strike by the Trump Admin in 2019, and the head of MOIS is Esmail Khatib. In the last four decades, Esmail Khatib has been Khamenei’s man to seek, identify and remove dissent.
2011 Assassination Plot Against the Saudi Ambassador: Manssor Arbabsiar and Gholam Shakuri were charged with conspiring to assassinate the Saudi Ambassador to the U.S. by bombing a Washington, D.C. restaurant. The plot was linked to Iran's Quds Force. justice.gov/opa/pr/two-men…
Reza Pahlavi has frequently boasted about his "bilateral contacts" with IRGC commanders, describing the IRGC and Basij as "the very force to guarantee Iran's future security"! The IRGC is known for its brutal internal oppression and external terror, with many of them aimed at the U.S.
National Union for Democracy in Iran (NUFDI) was launched in Feb 2013 by Saeed Ganji, then 'chief of staff' of Reza Pahlavi. NUFDI's mission is to promote the son of the deposed Shah. Reza Pahlavi has close ties with the IRGC and many of his close advisors have a background rooted in the Iranian regime.
After the 2018 Iran protests, NUFDI, which was previously idle, ramped up efforts. Harnessing the momentum of Iran's uprising, their goal was clear: promote Reza Pahlavi, whitewash his IRGC ties, and undermine those who have been fighting the regime for the past four decades.
