Gathering of Iranians in United Kingdom calling for an end to executions, the release of political prisoners, and the restoration of internet access in Iran London — Saturday, May 9

.@SecRubio on the Iranian people: "I don't know of any country in the world where there's a bigger difference between the people and the people who run the country."

Whether or not Europe stands with us, whether or not your journalists do their jobs, whether or not your politicians demonstrate the courage to act, I will fight for my people and my country.

As things stand now, the regime is likely to survive. Its tolerance for the pain inflicted by the blockade is greater than the US media’s tolerance for higher gas prices (though President Trump’s tolerance may be higher). 3 options for next steps: 1) Stay the course a little longer, inflict maximum economic damage to the regime, weaken it as much as possible, claim victory—it will certainly be a military victory—but recognize we’ll always have to be ready to come back to ensure the regime doesn’t regenerate its nuclear program and deal with its inevitable terrorism. 2) Keep the blockade restart a military operation to definitively destroy the regime’s ability to regenerate its nuclear program—or delay it by decades (this will require putting boots on the ground to at least remove the “nuclear dust”). This approach will likely mean we’ll have to come back from time to time. 3) Option 2 restart the targeting of the regime’s top (and local) leaders, degrade their repression capabilities as much as possible, while arming the population, with the clear objective of toppling the regime. Only Option 3—definitely the riskiest—can lead to the change of leadership in Iran that’ll ensure we don’t always have to look over our shoulder. Who knows?Maybe we’ll even end up with @PahlaviReza, who’ll usher in a democracy that likes America.

ساسان آزادوار قهرمان ۲۱ساله کاراته در اصفهان امروز به دست جمهوری اسلامی به قتل رسید. رژیم هفته‌هاست اینترنت را قطع کرده، در سکوت ایرانیان را اعدام می‌کند و به بهانه «مذاکره» از جهان برای بقایش وقت می‌خرد. هرلحظه بقای این رژیم جنایتکار به بهای جان جوانی دیگر از ایران تمام می‌شود.

BREAKING: The U.N. just elected the Islamic Republic of Iran as one of the Vice Presidents of the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Review Conference. Bravo to the U.S., UAE, Australia, UK, France and Germany for objecting. Last time, only 🇺🇸 spoke out: x.com/UNWatch/status/2044678…

The fastest way to end the war with Iran is to actually defeat the regime or make a deal that doesn't defeat the regime but attempts to contain it.  The truth is that it cannot be permanently contained for several reasons, including that if a Democrat becomes president, or even an isolationist or establishment Republican, the necessary military force will not be used to ensure compliance because the regime itself is fundamentally and ultimately incapable of honoring a deal given its fundamentalist Islamist ideology.  Also, the public will tire of it over a course of years (a forever war) and there will be other enemies that will require some form of attention, thereby requiring our military resources to also deal with them in some form -- perhaps an even bigger foe, like Red China. To defeat the regime requires: 1. continued military operations aimed at obliterating the IRGC and perhaps key dual use infrastructure; 2. continued maximum economic pressure, especially continuation of the blockade; AND 3. arming the people in Iran, a very important and necessary resource (we've done this before during the Reagan administration and I presume the CIA is still up to the task).   The president will be criticized regardless of how he proceeds, as the Democrats and their media are rooting for the enemy and hope to gain advantage in the midterms.  So, they must be ignored.  But a real victory will not only ensure our security from a nuclear-obsessed terrorist regime beyond the Trump presidency (as it won't exist any longer), but the American people will ultimately praise it as victory has a way of focusing the mind and the heart (which should have political benefits as well).  I am concerned that waiting for the enemy to come forward with some kind of an offer, which might be framed as a victory, could be problematic. I must caution, however, as I have before, that I am not privy to all the information.  And I also underscore that President Trump is never to be underestimated.  He is a truly gutsy and great leader.  Indeed, he has done more than all previous seven presidents who preceded him combined to deal with the Iranian regime's grave threat.  And for this alone he will be remembered long after most of us are gone.  That's my 2 cents worth, again.

I’m struck by Reza Pahlavi’s dignity and empathy, which come through in his visible indignation at the journalists’ behavior. Nothing about it feels staged : you can sense how deeply he suffers from what his people are enduring and from the appalling way they are treated.

As a journalist, it’s mind-boggling how 150 reporters seemingly "coordinated" to ignore one of the largest street massacres in recent history. Not a single question for @PahlaviReza on regime crimes, rapes, or executions? Independent media must investigate this silence. #Iran

Some deranged terrorist supporting freak threw paint on HRH Reza Pahlavi. This is not just an attack on him. This is an attack on the 45k Iranians murdered by the Islamic Regime in January. This is an attack on all Iranians fighting for freedom. Shame!

I asked Reza Pahlavi today if he's an Israeli asset. "Of course not", the former crown prince of Iran replied. I also asked him why he does not exclude to restore a permament monarchy in Iran. Isn't that what a true democrat would do? He does not agree...

I dont know who she is, but she is 💯 correct. I don't care what political party you are. YOU SHOULD BE SPEAKING UP ABOUT THIS. She is right. Where are the feminists? Where's the pope? Where are the other world leaders? Where are the democrats? Where is Kamala,the person you voted for? Why are you quiet? The Iranian regime is killing their people. SPEAK UP!!!!!!!! Crimes against humanity.

"To the Iranian leaders, who will soon be in negotiations with my representatives: I would greatly appreciate the release of these women. I am sure that they will respect the fact that you did so. Please do them no harm! Would be a great start to our negotiations!!!" - President Donald J. Trump 🇺🇸

100 days ago, on January 8th and 9th, millions of Iranians took to the streets knowing the price they might pay. More than 40,000 heroes paid that price for Iran's dignity, liberty, and freedom. Young women tore off their headscarves in front of armed security forces. Students organized, marched, and faced plainclothes agents on campuses. Teachers, lawyers, and workers walked off their jobs. Shopkeepers shuttered their stores in solidarity. Millions of ordinary people did extraordinary things in city after city in an epic display of national unity. The regime answered with bullets, mass arrests, and show trials and executions. Facing an inhuman evil, Iranians showed superhuman bravery. More than 40,000 gave their lives. My compatriots kept going and their courage belongs to history. This is the final battle and they are preparing to win the war against the Islamic Republic. In this battle to reclaim our nation, I will not stop fighting until the day they are free. We hope the world will be with us. Whether it is or not, our fight will continue and we will liberate Iran.

UK, France, Italy and allies trying to open the already open Strait of Iran.

.@POTUS: "I have nothing against the Pope... If the Pope looked at the 42,000 people that were killed over the last two or three months, as [protesters] with no weapons, no nothing... I have a right to disagree with the Pope."

Oh no… devastating scenes in Europe. Rising fuel prices and expensive summer holidays are truly horrifying. I condemn the excessive pricing and restrictions on affordable fun. We stand with Europeans bravely facing overpriced dinners and rosé in this difficult time.

The brilliant @__Injaneb96 notes a trend: 1. Europeans cry about gas prices & demand America open Hormuz 2. Iranians respond as Europeans did during the protests: "The reduction of gas prices in Europe must be brought about by the European people, not by foreign agents." 🤣
