Prince @PahlaviReza: The international community should back the people of Iran’s fight for freedom. Put them at the center of any negotiations and in their Iran policy. Doing a deal with a regime that murdered 40,000 protesters in two days will backfire. thetimes.com/world/middle-ea…

Whilst the piece is fantastic, somebody have a word with those sub editors. I’d say ‘The Shah’s Son’ is pretty credible in his own right. He has been consistent on Iran, his position and the role the country can play on a global stage. And Iranian people have chosen him.

Really important piece for those curious about the Iranian question.

If anybody believes that the Islamic regime can be trusted they need to have a long hard look at themselves, and the last 47 years.

What drivel from @FIFAWorldCup

شاهزاده رضا پهلوی، رهبر اپوزیسیون دموکراتیک ایران، روز سه‌شنبه ۲۶ خرداد، همزمان با بررسی لایحه «تهدیدات امنیت ملی و نفوذ دولت‌های خارجی» در پارلمان بریتانیا، به لندن سفر خواهد کرد. در جریان این سفر، شاهزاده رضا پهلوی با رهبران سیاسی بریتانیا، نمایندگان پارلمان، رسانه‌ها و چهره‌های اثرگذار و همسو با مبارزه ملت ایران دیدار خواهد کرد. محور اصلی این دیدارها تأکید بر ضرورت قرار گرفتن مردم ایران در مرکز تصمیم‌گیری‌ها و گفت‌وگوهای سیاسی درباره آینده ایران است. شاهزاده همچنین در این سفر بر این واقعیت روشن و انکارناپذیر تأکید خواهد کرد که تهدید جمهوری اسلامی تنها به درون مرزهای ایران محدود نیست و رژیم خطری مستقیم برای جوامع دموکراتیک و امنیت ملی کشورهای غربی، از جمله بریتانیا است.

It is disappointing Trump has thrown a lifeline to a dying Regime but let’s be honest it was always expected. Iranian’s knew there were limits to external military action. Change was always going to come from within. Lots of regime apologists and appeasers will claim this “war” has made the Regime stronger. But this is not true. The Regime and IRGC are weaker, more hated, more fractured and the opposition under @PahlaviReza stronger and more organised on the ground in Iran. This regime will fall. It may take longer but freedom will come.

Huge thank you for your support, Dan. Brilliant to see there are parliamentarians out there who are raising awareness of the massacre and the dangers of the IRGC. The UK needs more MPs like this.

The bravery of the Iranian people is astonishing. Look at this sea of heroes who risked their lives for liberty and dignity. This scale of protest, and the tens of thousands who gave their lives, is certainly unprecedented in history.

FIFA bans Iran’s centuries-old national flag as “political” 🇮🇷 Then clears the keffiyeh as “cultural expression,” despite being a symbol for resistance forces 🏴 That’s not neutrality. That’s selective enforcement. @FIFAcom, care to explain?

Will the @ukhomeoffice investigate this?

Yes @patrickwintour would be an important piece for @guardian to investigate and cover. Feels like a massive story now that another wig maker in Germany has also noticed the massive influx of hair coming in from Iran. Iranians might then start having faith in you again after the disgraceful IRI Foreign Minister opinion pieces you commissioned, constituting the first articles the Guardian printed on the uprisings. The 2nd piece on Jan 12th - three days after the massacres of tens of thousands of people, basically justifying the actions of the regime - was particularly egregious for a British newspaper to publish. Investigating this story will go a long way to re-establish trust with British Iranians.

The diplomatic route to what? 40,000 Iranians didn’t die for a nuclear deal or simply opening the strait of Hormuz. They died for freedom and democracy. Why do European leaders continue to appease this regime? It will never change. It is stringing you along. Only regime change will bring peace and stability.

For those suffering from amnesia: just four months ago, the Islamic regime in Iran slaughtered over 40,000 people in only two days, for the sole ‘crime’ of protesting for freedom.

Cenk Uygur? Silent. Mehdi Hasan? Silent. Ana Kasparian? Silent. Francesca Albanese? Silent. Greta Thunberg? Silent.

Investigate Trita Parsi.

With Mehdi Hasan, Owen Jones, Sangita Myska, Peter Oborne and Carole Cadwalladr on board, this Qatar-funded media outlet won't be rooted in solid journalism, it'll be rooted in obsessive, antisemitic anti-Zionism.

As the world watches the 2026 World Cup, millions of Iranians remember the athletes, footballers, fans, and young people who were killed, executed, or imprisoned for freedom. The real team of Iran is its people. #NotIransTeam #TheyShouldHaveBeenHere

Protesters in Iran continue to be executed by the regime. But not always by public hanging. Take Amir Davoodabadi who was injected with a poisonous substance into his testicles when held in prison which led to his death soon after release. #امیر_داوود‌آبادی was born 1980 in Arak and one of tens of thousands who took to the streets January 8th and 9th to protest. Days after the protests Amir was identified and arrested. After a month of interrogation and torture, he was released from prison in early March. Just before release he was injected with unknown chemicals into his testicles. A few days later Amir's body began to react. His entire body swelled up and his kidneys and liver failed. His family were forced to transfer him from a hospital in Arak to Tehran where doctors where were unable to help him. The family was then informed that toxic substances had entered his body. Amir lost his life 25 days later. He played the violin and was full of life. Like so many others with so much to give, murdered by the Islamic Republic. Amir Davoodabadi is buried in the village of Gavkhaneh, next to another murdered protestor of Arak, Amir Mehdi Nemati Nejad.
