If you're feeling lost about the current situation in Iran and are skeptical about the potential outcomes of the ongoing strikes, I recommend reading this article!

My column in the @Telegraph Comment today:
Iran will not descend into Afghanistan-style chaos if the regime falls. The real danger is something else entirely: Venezuela with centrifuges.
Here's what many Western analysts still get wrong about Iran.

„Der #Iran ist in allem, was er seit 40 Jahren macht, völkerrechtswidrig“, sagt @ArminLaschet (@CDU) – und niemand habe eingriffen. Jetzt, wo dies passiere und „die Menschen im Iran auf den Straßen jubeln, fangen wir Völkerrechtsdebatten an“.

Hi @UN @UNHumanRights and @Europarl_EN
Why is the the Islamic Republic in Iran holding their meetings and media interviews in elementary schools?
Is this the act of a legitimate government, or a terrorist mafia organization that has occupied Iran?

Munich police estimate around 250,000 people are demonstrating against the Islamic Republic & for the people of #Iran today following @PahlaviReza’s call for action. It makes discussions of nuclear diplomacy look so yesterday, so small, & so out of touch.

The massacre in Iran has NOT stopped.
Witnesses report secret burials and protesters being disappeared by the regime.
The world must act.
Governments, journalists, wake up!
People around the world, we need you to pressure them. Help us.

The Islamic Republic has executed Ali Rahbar.
This is not an exception. It is part of a broader pattern of executions carried out quietly in Iran. without fair trials or due process, in order to avoid international scrutiny.
Mr. Trump, you stated that executions in Iran had stopped.
They have not.
Iran’s people are being killed, through executions, firing squads, and state violence. The claim that authorities “intended to execute but didn’t” is no longer credible.
They did execute.
They did kill.
How many people must be murdered before you act?

Thousands have been murdered by the Islamic Republic during Iran's national uprising.
These are the faces of only a few of Iran's best athletes, murdered by the regime for demanding freedom.
The regime silences those who inspire a nation, but Iranians carry on their legacy.

DO NOT look away!
This is not GAZA. This is Iran.
Body bags of 100s of innocents in Iran against the Islamo-Nazi Ayatollah regime who slaughtered them for protesting for freedom.
This why the Ayatollahs have shut down the internet in Iran for 2 weeks. This killing must stop!

Europe must stop legitimizing Iran’s murderous regime. Recall ambassadors & non-essential staff NOW. Open EU embassies as safe havens for hunted opposition. Cut trade, sanction the clerical elite. Designate #IRGC a terrorist org immediately. Invite Reza Pahlavi to Brussels. #Iran

After more than two weeks of unrest, parts of Iran began to feel like a war zone. Protesters have endured what is probably the worst bout of state violence in the regime’s 47-year history economist.com/middle-east-an…

I am an Iranian university professor. I was in Iran until last week and directly witnessed the uprising of the Iranian people. What is happening is a revolution born of desperation and courage. I fully and unequivocally endorse the speeches of Masih Alinejad and Ahmad Batebi at the UNSC. Every claim made by the Iranian regime—including by its foreign minister and its UN ambassador—is nothing but deliberate, systematic lies meant to cover up crimes.
The regime has already killed my friend Parsa Saffar, a brilliant medical student at Mashhad University. Was he a terrorist? His only “crime” was being young, educated, and Iranian. The regime has filled the country with thousands of body bags. Were they terrorists too? How unarmed protesters, many of which being very young students can be terrorists? Why the so called "terrorists" that the Iranian regime claims only kill protesters, and not the rally of regime supporters?
Understanding Iran is painfully simple. Iran possesses some of the world’s largest oil, gas, and natural reserves, yet the Islamic Republic has driven the country into collapse: one of the weakest economies in the region, the least-valued currency in the world, crushing inflation, families unable to afford food or rent, massive unemployment, and millions of young people unable to marry or build a future because of economic despair. The people are angry—and rightly so.
The Islamic Republic has turned Iran into a deadlock through aggression, corruption, killing its own citizens, silencing all free voices, and enforcing internet blackouts to hide its brutality. The Iranian people are demanding regime change—just as people did during the Arab Spring in Syria. The same cruel regime that sent forces to help Bashar al-Assad massacre Syrians is now using the same methods to massacre Iranians.
I call on the United Nations, the UN Security Council, and every single government to end their silence in the face of the Islamic Republic’s murder machine. A regime that massacres its own citizens has no red lines—and will not hesitate to kill the citizens of other countries as well. Act now. Stand with the Iranian protesters. End this brutal regime.
