A reminder that not even the Islamic Republic regime is blaming the death of Raisi on Israel…so if you’re a white person from Brooklyn you shouldn’t be either.

Lebanon declared one day of national mourning when it blew up its own capital in 2020, while an almost universally hated Iranian president gets three

It never fails to astound me what an abyss exists between how Iranians feel versus what Americans think they feel. While the majority of Iranians are celebrating the death of one of the most brutal figures of recent times, the US leadership “mourns” on their behalf! Tone deaf?

The easy way out for a regime that blinds its own women (who demand equal rights) is to ask the rest of the world to fix their eyes elsewhere. #AllEyesonIran

The war against women in Iran isn’t just based on the way they look. Here is the next installment of our series about the lives of working women in the Islamic Republic

Dozens of non-Iranians have written me to say: what do you think of Iran's new reformist president? Isn't this good? They said this based on media they read. It is irresponsible for media & folks on this platform to promote the idea that this will bring real change to Iran.

On this day, 21 years ago, Iranian Canadian photojournalist Zahra Kazemi tragically lost her life while visiting Iran. She was brutally beaten to death in state custody. For her family and all who remember her, this anniversary is particularly painful: This month, Masoud

Another execution under the Islamic Republic. Reza Rasaei’s family were informed he was executed only after he was deceased, and a CCTV camera was reportedly installed outside of their home to make sure they didn’t mourn publicly. The Islamic Republic of murderers.

When I asked a colleague what difference he thought a Pezeshkian presidency would make he said it would give the regime more cover to kill people. He was right. 87 people have been executed in Iran in the month after the President election radiofarda.com/a/33070097.html
