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.

Yesterday: “Moderate” Rouhani against radical Ghalibaf. Today: “Moderate” Ghalibaf against radical Vahidi. Tomorrow: “Moderate” Vahidi against another radical figure. The search for the imaginary moderate continues.

German authorities chose to provide a level of security that has now proven insufficient. They could have followed the strong standards set by countries such as Sweden and provided adequate protection. That, of course, would have angered the regime in Tehran, whom Berlin appears very keen to appease.
Der festgenommene Mann vor der Bundespressekonferenz befindet sich aktuell zur erkennungsdienstlichen Behandlung in einem Polizeigewahrsam. Er hatte weder Akkreditierung noch Presseausweis dabei und ist bisher polizeilich nicht in Erscheinung getreten. Gegen ihn werden Ermittlungsverfahren wegen Körperverletzung, Sachbeschädigung und Beleidigung gegen Personen des politischen Lebens eingeleitet. Ein Anschlussgewahrsam für heute wird geprüft. Unsere Einsatzkräfte wurden sensibilisiert und die Sicherheitsmaßnahmen für den Gast nochmal angepasst. #b2304

I encourage everyone to watch this clip. What you’ll see is a leader the Iranian people can be proud of. An articulate individual of high integrity who goes toe-to-toe with adversarial press, and stands his ground on principle and reason. It’s bewildering that much of the Western press keeps asking the same boring questions. Their interest seems to be in manufacturing clickbait, not serious news. They have a higher standard for @PahlaviReza, a legitimate democratic leader (whom millions of Iranians inside and outside Iran are clearly supporting), than the illegitimate tyrannical regime the Iranian people want gone. The Iranian people have now been under 1,200+ hours of an internet blackout, while regime officials imposing that blackout speak freely on Western airwaves. Free press for the regime, no press for the people. Do your job, journalists.
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...

YES!
Masoumeh Ebtekar - also known as "Screaming Mary" - was the spokeswoman for the Islamic terrorists who stormed the U.S. Embassy in Tehran in 1979 and held 52 Americans hostage for 444 days - subjecting them to beatings, starvation, and mock executions. In 2014, the Obama Administration granted visas to her son and his family to enter the United States. In June 2016, the Obama Administration gave them lawful permanent resident status via the Diversity Immigrant Visa Program. This week, I terminated their lawful permanent resident status and today, Seyed Eissa Hashemi, Maryam Tahmasebi, and their son are now in the custody of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement pending their removal from our country. Her family should never have been allowed to benefit from the extraordinary privilege of living in our country. America can never become home for anti-American terrorists or their families - and under the Trump Administration, it never will.

درخواست من از رئیس‌جمهور ترامپ و وزیر امور خارجه روبیو این است که اقدامات فوری علیه استاد دانشگاه پرینستون، سید حسین موسویان، انجام دهند. موسویان که پیش‌تر سفیر رژیم جمهوری اسلامی بوده و با قتل ده‌ها مخالف ایرانی در دوران خدمتش ارتباط دارد. افرادی که در نقش‌های دیپلماتیک خود مرتکب جنایت شده‌اند، نباید در دانشگاه‌های معتبر ایالات متحده تدریس کنند. او باید از کشور اخراج شود @ILTVNews

Trump is right, ending the war is a nightmare for the Iranian people. Iranians have tried everything: two decades of reform within the system and multiple waves of mass uprisings. Nothing has worked. War is now the only option. Anyone who truly cares about Iran and its future should wholeheartedly support this just war against the Islamic Republic.
US President Donald Trump said Iranian people who oppose the Islamic Republic support strikes to weaken the regime. “They are living in fear. They are afraid we are gonna leave in the middle of the war, but we are not going to leave,” Trump said in an interview with Axios on Sunday. iranintl.com/en/202604051040

The U.S. did NOT overthrow a democratically-elected government in Iran in 1953. Stop allowing this false narrative to go unchallenged. 🧵1/11

The exiled crown prince of Iran praised President Trump and thanked the American people for helping make the world a safer place during his speech at CPAC: “Can you imagine Iran going from ‘Death to America’ to ‘God bless America?'”

The UAE stands as a strong partner of the United States. No ceasefire with the Islamic regime in Iran. Not now. You don’t negotiate with terror. You end it. The UAE stands firm. Zero space for terrorists. Germany, Britain, Spain's governments say they want a diplomatic solution with this terrorist regime. Fine. Let it be your neighbour. Take its leadership, as you did with the Muslim Brotherhood. Give them citizenship. They are all yours. If you want the rubbish, take it but don’t ask us to accept it or live with it. It stinks. You can have it. Live with it alone. This Saturday will not pass quietly. It will be marked. It will be remembered.

The regime now proudly puts its leader’s image next to Hitler’s. That is why every Nazi sympathizer in the world, including the woke Reich, supports this regime.

We’re discussing Iran today because in January millions of Iranians answered @PahlaviReza’s call and rose up against the regime. After the US and Israel are done with their military operations, the people will finish what they started. @Leighanngerrans @AlArabiya_Eng

شیرین عبادی، برنده صلح نوبل، گه خورد که در مقام قانون‌گذار برای ۹۰ میلیون ایرانی حکم صادر کرد! چنین تصمیمی فقط در اختیار نهاد قانون‌گذاری خواهد بود.
شیرین عبادی، حقوق‌دان و برنده جایزه نوبل صلح می‌گوید در ایران آینده مجازات اعدام وجود نخواهد داشت و نظام حقوقی بر پایه استانداردهای جهانی شکل می‌گیرد. به گفته او پس از سقوط جمهوری اسلامی، با اتکا به عدالت انتقالی، مسئولان در دادگاه‌های ویژه محاکمه خواهند شد.

Le prince héritier #Reza_Pahlavi a du soutien, un plan, des conseillers et une longue histoire nationale derrière lui. Beaucoup d’#Iraniens le considèrent comme leur choix. Les attaques contre lui ne viennent pas d’un manque de qualifications — mais de sa force.
