Doctors Without Borders, You condemn attacks on hospitals in Gaza as war crimes. Yet you stay silent on Iran; tear gas in hospitals, patients beaten, wounded shot, doctors arrested for treating the injured. Silence isn’t neutral. @MSF #IranMassacre

These are sham interviews set up by the Islamic Republic, using agents as "random civilians". @CNN is working in Iran, under the condition of corroboration with the regime. The Islamic Republic does not let reporters roam freely. Iranians want US to Bomb IR terrorists.

After the horrific murder of more than 6 million Jews in the Holocaust, the world vowed: Never Again. Collectively, we committed never to stay silent in the face of pure evil and never to allow innocent civilians to be slaughtered on an industrial scale. Right now that is exactly what is happening in Iran. The world has a moral imperative to put the concept of Never Again into practice and to act decisively to defend the brave people of Iran. Today, as we remember the victims of the Holocaust, we urgently call on the free world not to let another massacre go unanswered.

On Holocaust Remembrance Day, we remember where silence leads. The Iranian regime is committing genocidal crimes against its own people today. Indifference then enabled horror. Indifference now risks repeating it. #HolocaustRemembranceday #IranMassacre #IranRevolution2026
"The genocide started with apathy & silence in the face of injustice, and with the corrosive dehumanization of the other. Today and always, we need to remember this. And we must stand up for our shared humanity." - @UNHumanRights chief @volker_turk #HolocaustRemembranceDay

#Iran's regime wants a JCPOA-like deal. It is highly unlikely Khamenei will agree to the terms America is demanding because it would basically amount to a form of regime change. But the Islamic Republic will try and lead the U.S. on to think it will negotiate meaningfully to avoid an attack and entrap the U.S. in endless negotiations. It's a waste of time. That's not to mention that the Iranian people who have been protesting are watching all of this and would perceive a deal to bolster the regime at their expense. axios.com/2026/01/26/trump-i…

In Iran, there are few ways to get our children’s bodies back: 1. Claim they were 'Basiji' and killed by 'terrorists'. 2. Pay for the bullets and sign that it was a 'heart attack'. The world continues to just watch, offering nothing but useless sanctions and condemnations.

🚨URGENT! The Islamic Regime occupying Iran is withholding the bodies of Iranians they have murdered and refusing to hand them over to families because they are planning on framing these deaths as "civilian casualties" caused by any upcoming American airstrike. PLEASE SHARE!
I just received this urgent message from a contact inside Iran. The Islamic Republic is reportedly refusing to hand over the bodies of the fallen to their families. The goal is to hold them until a US military strike, then frame these deaths as civilian casualties caused by the US to stir outrage and pressure the Trump administration.

. @amanpour for decades you helped rebrand this regime for Western audiences: soft‑focus interviews with Rouhani sold as ‘moderation,’ even while critics showed how CNN massaged translations and airbrushed his Holocaust relativism. Your network downplayed or lagged on key protest moments while Iranians were being beaten in the streets. You platformed regime‑approved figures to tell Americans that Jews live like they’re in ‘Disneyland’ in Iran and treated that propaganda as serious testimony, with no real challenge or balancing voices from dissidents or victims. That is not ‘holding power to account’. Nope! that is laundering the image of a dictatorship for years. And now, at the very moment when the same regime is shooting, blinding, and jailing people, you twist the story to say @potus and @PahlaviReza ‘have blood on their hands’ because they voiced support. You erase the agency of Iranians who rose up on their own, and you shift responsibility away from the men who ordered the crackdown to serve your own political narrative. That is gaslighting, not journalism sweetie. @FoxNews @seanhannity @marklevinshow @LaraLeaTrump @LauraLoomer #iran #IranRevolution2026 #IranMassacre

To whoever is advising President Trump on Iran: stop misleading him. The executions did not stop. The regime simply learned how to carry them out quietly, away from cameras and headlines. Silence is not restraint. Fewer reports do not mean fewer deaths.
PRESIDENT TRUMP says the US is watching Iran closely: "I said, if you hang those people, you're going to be hit harder than you've ever been hit. It will make what we did to your Iran nuclear look like peanuts." "And they actually said they canceled it, they didn't postpone it, they canceled it – so that was a good sign." "We have a massive fleet heading in that direction and maybe we won't have to use it, we'll see."

The European Parliament pays tribute to the bravery of all those killed in Iran with a moment of applause not silence. The people of Iran don't need silence. They have been kept forcefully silent for 47 years. They deserve to be free.

Nothing to see here, just Narges Bajgholi, a well-known regime apologist, blatantly lying about what’s happening in Iran and insulting the people who took bullets for the truth. Here’s reality, not propaganda: The regime is on the brink of collapse. There is de facto martial law across cities. Schools are shut. Shops are closed. Streets are frozen. There is zero normalcy, because normalcy no longer exists. That’s why the internet remains in blackout: you can’t show “business as usual” when the country is at a point of no return. There is a unified opposition. It rallies around Crown Prince Reza Pahlavi. His name is chanted in the streets of Iran in every single video coming out. People have been killed for saying it out loud. @FareedZakaria knows exactly what he’s doing by platforming regime apologists like Bajgholi people with a documented record of lying to launder state violence. Evidence pouring out of Iran doesn’t matter to them. Facts don’t matter. The agenda does. #IranRevolution2026 #IranMassacre

You guys need better arguments. This worn-out narrative is finished. Trying to shield the regime only shows how bankrupt this discourse has become.
.@AliVelshi rightly points out the strangulating effect of sanctions. I told him that had the JCPOA been kept, the Iranian economy would be in a completely different state today, and the power of society vis-à-vis would have been much more favorable, enabling the people to push for change, not out of desperation, but from a position of strength. But Trump pulled out, and the process of internally driven change - fueled by economic growth - was never allowed to play out.
Community note
Regardless of sanctions, regime consistently prioritizes budgets for its cultural, religious, and military institutions over infrastructure, environment, and development. This is evident in low livability, GDP, neglected border provinces, and rising social inequality. media.dolat.ir/uploads/org/20… arashzd.notion.site/The-Saghe-Tala…

Shame on @khalafroula! Her newspaper is a propaganda hub for the regime. If that was not enough, she is going to Davos to whitewash the regime and support Abbas Araghchi who as a member of the regime’s National Security Council is directly responsible for massacre of tens of thousands of Iranians. People like her have been facilitating the regime’s crimes against humanity by providing international support and cover. Shame on her.

The globalist elite at Davos, the paymasters of the radical left across the globe, are rushing to meet, greet, wine, and dine Abbas Araqchi, a man who has the blood of tens of thousands of Iranians on his hands. Their goal is to rescue the regime. Nothing scares them more than seeing Iranian patriots taking their fate into their own hands. The Islamic Republic was and remains a project devised, executed, and sustained by the globalist elite and their Islamist and Marxist puppets. The Davos gang has used the Islamic Republic to steal trillions of dollars not just from the Iranian people, but from the region and the world. Patriots of the world should unite. The war that the Davos gang is waging against you is not just to gradually replace you; it is to totally annihilate you and everything that is dear to you, your homelands, your cultures, and your families.
Abbas Aragchi is the voice of a regime that is committing democide, killing 16,000 people in the last two weeks alone. He does not represent Iran. He is a criminal. Davos should not give him a platform. All decent people must protest his presence. @wef @borgebrende
