This is why supporting #IranProtests2026 is not Islamophobic. The regime plays morning call for prayer before every execution
This is why people can’t stand the call for prayer in Iran.

Mosques have lost their functions as a sacred peaceful places of prayer, for a long time.

Or maybe he’s waiting for shooting stars? Bombs? Meat balls?
What am I missing Mr. president??

Once again, the Islamic Republic has shut down the internet and phone lines, cutting people in Iran off from the world.
Iranians abroad are deeply worried about the safety of our fellow citizens. Silencing a nation is not security it is hostage taking.

Be the voice of #iran‼️

The regime uses internet blackouts to slaughter their own people.
Don’t stop talking about it. Night 2 of a 2 day coordinated protest is happening now.

Iranians are in the streets, protesting resisting the Islamic regime,

The regime has shut down the internet, phone lines, and cancelled international flights, to hide the violent crackdown on protests and the killing of protesters

I’ve never seen Armenian chronologies mentioned in the work of Iranian mythologists until today in Pourdavoud’s (1885–1968) article on the Aban Yasht, written about 100 years ago. He even cited Ełišē’s History! WOW!

In Iran, I fought with the uni porter every day cause my clothes were “inappropriate.”
Today I’m in a light dress, and I see young students in the yard smoking.
I remember how we were under pressure for every small thing: clothes, tattoos, smoking, sunglasses!

A daily fight in an unfair battle.
