This is my message to the international community, especially Europe:
“We are not asking for charity. Under the UN’s own Responsibility to Protect, you have a legal and moral duty to act when civilians are being massacred and the state fails to protect them. In Iran, the state is the executioner, deliberately killing its own people with military grade weapons.
For years, you made it easier for this regime to arm itself. If you stay silent now, you are complicit in the bloodshed.
So tell us: how many civilian deaths are enough for you to act?
Do Iranian lives matter at all?
Is 16,000 murdered men, women, and children not enough?
Must all 23,000 arrested protesters be slaughtered before you move?
What is your limit?
Or is this inaction because some of you still benefit, from the Islamic Republic, from the IRGC, from dirty deals dressed up as diplomacy?
We know the EU has grown weak and dependent on others for its own security. But at the very least, you can do this:
Close Islamic Republic embassies.
Expel their diplomats.
Designate the IRGC as a terrorist organization.
Anything less is a choice. And history will remember who chose silence.”
