Chants of "Freedom, freedom, freedom" tonight in Tehran

It's Day 8 of the #IranProtests and the regime's deadly crackdown has so far failed to silence the people of Iran. The MEK reports protests in 100+ cities in 30 out of 31 provinces. Khamenei's days are numbered. #MahsaAmini WOW! Tonight in Iran's capital, crowds chant: "This is the year that Seyyed Ali [Khamenei] will be overthrown"

The regime's deadly onslaught has failed to quash the #IranProtests for freedom

A protest is commencing now despite heavy police presence outside Tehran's Kasra Hospital where #MahsaAmini died earlier today.

Iran's so-called “morality police” beat & arbitrarily arrested her 3 days ago while enforcing the regime's discriminatory forced veiling laws. Police are trying to break up a protest taking place outside Tehran's Kasra Hospital where 22-year-old Iranian Kurdish woman #MahsaAmini died today.

VIDEO: Iran recruiting child soldiers in 🇺🇸

State media airs video of kids in Houston TX swearing allegiance to the regime's Supreme Leader Khamenei

They sing "Don't look at my young age" "I will be your soldier" "I make an oath. One day when you need me, I will be your martyr" UPDATE There's evidence indicating that this propaganda video in which kids in Houston TX were made to swear allegiance to the Iranian regime's Supreme Leader was produced by the Islamic Education Center, 2313 S Voss Road

IEC has posted the film on its @facebook page

THREAD on impunity in Iran ⬇️

Ebrahim Raisi's government has sent a new law to Parliament for ratification that would allow all armed forces or agents in Iran to be able to use their weapons to attack dissident protesters without fear of consequences, state media reported today. Image While the opposition routinely sends out footage from Iran via social media of armed forces shooting at defenceless protesters, the new law is aimed at giving blanket immunity to those armed forces who are caught firing at people during the #IranProtests.

Workers in Iran today chant against the regime's #internetshutdown:

"They support corrupt people and fear the internet"

@netblocks reported significant internet disruption this week as the regime seeks to muffle #IranProtests

CC @eu_eeas @StateDRL

(via MEK activists in Shush) Chants of "Khuzestan has no water" in Tehran on Day 17 of #IranProtests.

The regime has been unable to end the protests despite a deadly crackdown and disruptions to the internet. The MEK report numerous similar anti-regime protests today in Shush and other parts of Iran.

Senior editors of @amconmag have ties to @NIACouncil & have published hundreds of items attacking US policy & promoting Iran's regime. My new scoop for @IranNewsUpdate1

I'm posting key findings as a thread

irannewsupdate.com/news/general/7… The American Conservative @amconmag is secretly working w/ Iran's lobby @NIACouncil

In 2018 its panel included NIAC founder @tparsi. It has systematically run ~400 pro-regime pieces echoing @JZarif's talking points that also attack Trump Admin policies & officials inc @SecPompeo

THREAD on Iran's economic meltdown:

The regime's Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei last Wednesday issued an Executive Order sending Iran's 2020-2021 budget bill to the Guardian Council without Parliament's approval, using the #Coronavirus crisis as an excuse.
en.parliran.ir/eng/en/Content… By bypassing lawmakers Khamenei hasn't solved Iran's economic crisis. He's simply swept it under the rug. The new budget is 20176016794000000 Rials.
~20000 trillion Rials = $480 billion (official rate) or $132 billion (actual rate). The regime has nowhere near that kind of income

THREAD @PatrickKingsley's @nytimes piece on Iran's MEK is contradictory, fails to offer an objective view & oddly enough has no "scoop". It's just slander. PK says he was allowed in MEK's camp for 9hrs, which in itself undermines his attempt to portray them as secretive & closed. @PatrickKingsley @nytimes @nytimesworld @amsafavi @iran_policy @USEmbassyTirana @StateDept .@PatrickKingsley's piece on the Iranian opposition in 🇦🇱 just doesn't make sense:
He both claims the MEK deny the media access to their camp, but says he was allowed in
He claims he wanted to interview MEK ppl, but then describes their remarks to him as "propaganda sessions"

A group of US-based "analysts" spoke by video-call Monday at an event called "America's Demise" held by Iran's Intel Ministry aimed at boosting IRGC morale after Soleimani's death. @FBI should do a background check on these ppl for possible US law violations.

Yesterday the Supreme Leader of Iran's regime Ali Khamenei attacked Albania for hosting the MEK which he said had plotted the recent #IranProtests.
His remarks prompted strong reactions from Albanian PM @ediramaal, President @ilirmetazyrtar & Diaspora Minister @PandeliMajko. @ediramaal @ilirmetazyrtar @PandeliMajko "Iran must respect international agreements, international laws."
"Albania is not an evil country but a democratic country that has suffered from an evil dictatorship unparalleled in its kind therefor considers human rights sacred."

Do any US military VETs find it offensive of @wrightr to compare the Iranian regime's terrorist Qods Force to @us_navyseals, @USArmy Delta Force & Rangers?

Her description of Soleimani in @NewYorker is seriously creepy.

@nytimes' new cover story about Soleimani mirrors Iran's state media propaganda.
@farnazfassihi claims this terrorist/mass murderer "was almost universally admired". Actually, he was universally detested by all in the region.

Today's letter by @Ilhan, @RepBarbaraLee & @RepRaulGrijalva was probably drafted by Iran's mullahs.
They're objecting to "the designation of Iran's Central Bank under terror authorities".
PS: @NIACouncil helped draft the text
PPS: Iran's ppl support sanctions on their oppressors @Ilhan @RepBarbaraLee @RepRaulGrijalva @NIACouncil @SecPompeo @USTreasury @SenTedCruz @DonaldJTrumpJr @davereaboi @RichardGrenell @mercedesschlapp @hughhewitt @mschlapp @RepLeeZeldin Did some digging over the letter's authors. Found out @NIACouncil (Iran rgm's lobby in the US) has a mole in Congress. @samira_says is now a permanent Legislative Assistant in the Office of @RepBarbaraLee. That could potentially give her (& the regime) access to US citizens' data
