Trumps #ultimatum won’t deter or defeat IRGC — they are ready to drag everyone into abyss. Hitting civilian infrastructure in #Iran, especially #nuclear sites, risks disaster and punishes only those fighting for a #FreeIran. This is not strategy, this is madness.

The new Iranian banknote, valued at 10,000,000 rials, has been introduced into circulation for those who believe the Islamic Republic isn't on the verge of collapse. It is worth just over €5.

Last bit of news I got directly from an Iranian is that doctors and nurses are smuggling and hiding medical records of patients from past uprisings. The IRGC is currently going through hospitals destroying medical records, in fear these could be used as evidence against them after the regime falls.

Tabriz…my mom’s hometown.

Nowruz celebrates the arrival of spring and rebirth. But for many in the Iranian diaspora, this year is different. As the war continues, many are trying to balance the joy of the holiday with grief. n.pr/4bV4X8l

It has been 82 days since the protests started in Iran and 20 days since the war started.

Attacks on critical Middle East energy infrastructure risk causing economic and environmental catastrophe to civilians in Iran and across the Gulf. Warring parties should immediately end any and all attacks targeting civilian energy infrastructure.

This is Tehran today on Nowruz, the Iranian New Year. Nowruz is a celebration of overcoming; the triumph of spring over winter and light over darkness. With that, our fight for freedom continues into a new year, more committed and resilient than before.

In Esfahān there’re reports that the entire cemetery was filled with every security personnel they could muster and at the gathering for Sepehr Šekārī, security forces reportedly beat and assaulted his family and threatened gang rape against the attendees.

Rest in Power Saleh, and all those who were executed today for taking part in the December protests. 💔

Mehdi Ghasemi, Saleh Mohammadi, and Saeed Davoudi, arrested during the January protests in Iran, were executed early this morning without prior notice.

It’s always about punishing people Israel and the US are punishing the people who were punished by the Iranian regime so the Iranian regime is attacking energy infrastructure around the Gulf, punishing more people

The European Commission is looking into ways to help Iranians circumvent the internet blockage by the regime. @kajakallas.bsky.social will provide more information soon. #Iran #DigitalBlackoutIran

Security forces dispersing people celebrating Chaharshanbe Suri in Chitgar, northwestern Tehran. Gunshots have been heard, and unconfirmed civilian casualties have also been reported.

Iranian filmmaker Jafar Panahi on why he always returns home, undeterred by imprisonment and film censorship: “When half of you is there, then how could you be out?”

Some concrete steps how 🇪🇺 can help Iranians at the moment: ◾️raise awareness of pol. prisoners at risk of execution ◾️circumvent internet shutdown ◾️prolong visas of Iranians in EU ◾️offer humanitarian visas ◾️support for democratic transition More @france24.com: www.france24.com/en/tv-shows/...

Tehran is currently under intense bombardment. A series of massive explosions and fires has been reported across the city over the past hour.

Once more, a reminder of who’s on the other side of this war:

I met international goalkeeper Rashid Mazaheri in St Petersburg in 2018, he was in the Team Melli squad for the world cup and although he didn't play he was such a nice guy and so generous with fans He has been missing for 17 days after criticising the Iranian regime #IranMassacre‌.

this is some weird creepy shit y'all. use your brains and have some class.

Every taxi driver in Tehran could have told you that for the past fifteen years, and for free!

@mobinkarami.bsky.social the mullah regime is currently torturing the Iranian people on mass, by broadcasting Hasan Piker on national television.

I understand Iran is dominating the news right now, and one can not expect everyone to follow everything happening in the world. So, as someone who follows news from the Ukrainian frontline, you should know this: The situation is getting worse for the Russians.

This is a good reminder for a lot of people these days:

Because CNN's Fred Pleitgen does not take risks, broadcasting IRIB propaganda instead, Iranian citizen journalists have to risk their lives. Text in video: 'The name of the school is Mahdieh [Girls' School, Tehran], and these are security forces exiting the school premises.' (Source: @Tarikh_Eran)

The condition of prisoners in Iran is dire. A recent report from HRANA, based on data from several prisons, indicates shortages of safe drinking water, decreased food quantity and quality, limited medical care, and restricted access to prison shops. www.en-hrana.org/mounting-pre...

The people in #Iran are ready for a democratic change. And we should do our best to support them in their efforts. More at Deutsche Welle: www.dw.com/en/eu-lawmak...

The Iranian regime used shell companies to evade sanctions & maintain financial reserves. Any funds connected to #IRGC must be identified & frozen immediately. Sanctions are only credible if they're rigorously enforced. We have to close these loopholes:

I just want to point out that you can express your distain for Netanyahu, the Israeli government, their actions in the world and not display antisemitism. Opposition to AIPAC can be expressed without antisemitic language. You are just fueling the notion that opposition is antisemitic.

“My young girl is gone… she’s gone.” A father in Bahrain whose daughter was killed in an Islamic Republic drone attack is overcome with grief as he speaks about his loss.

If you dial a random Iranian number, even though there's a 95% chance it won't connect, you are still more likely to get reliable information from Iran than from the Al-Jazeera correspondent in Tehran.

Fünf iranische Fußballerinnen sind nach der Zusage humanitärer Visa in Australien vor Freude in Jubel ausgebrochen. 👉 taz.de/Asyl-fuer-ir...

Australien stattet fünf iranische Fußballerinnen während des Asia Cups mit einem humanitären Visum aus. In ihrer Heimat gelten sie als Verräterinnen.

In the shadow of war, the danger for political prisoners does not disappear. It grows. Prisons in #Iran are full of protestors - from Nobel Peace Prize laureates, to tens of thousands whose names we may never know. The world needs to pay attention to their fate.

With Ali Qapu palace, 4 of Trump's shortlist of 52 Iranian world heritage sites are now damaged by airstrikes. These sites are not just Iranian, they are the shared heritage of humanity civilization. This is akin to the Taliban's actions with the Buddhas of Bamiyan.

3 of Trump's list of 52 Iranian world heritage sites now damaged by airstrikes. Will the others on his shortlist also experience his 2020 promise..? medium.com/doctoryak/52... #Iran #IranWar

Thoughts with my family in the world treasure city, and UNESCO heritage bastion which is Isfahan 🙏🏻 May the people not suffer. May the people be free. #IranMassacre

🚨 5 players from Iran’s women’s national football team have successfully sought refuge in Australia & declared support for Iran’s revolution They left the team’s training camp and sought safety abroad The players are Fatemeh Pasandideh Zahra Ghanbari Zahra Sarbali Atefeh Ramazanzadeh Mona Hamoudi

You know you’re *truly* despicable when you can be morally owned like this by, of all people, trump.

All these Iranian monarchists who cheered on the bombing of our country, who got on bended knee for Lindsey Graham and Trump, keep asking me, “What if you’re wrong?” about my opposition to intervention and the disaster it could be. I keep telling them I would be thrilled to be wrong.

“Death to Mojtaba” is already being shouted in Tehran. They’re not even using his surname.

Apocalyptic scenes from Koohsar Blvd. in the Shahran neighbourhood of northwestern Tehran.

Furchtbare Szenen in Teheran gestern Nacht. Das israelische Militär hat kritische Infrastruktur in der Stadt bombardiert. Menschen, die versucht haben Richtung Norden zu fliehen, konnten das wegen der Rauchentwicklung und dem Chaos nicht. (Video von CNN International. Abrufbar auf deren Website.)

You can fiercely oppose Trump and Netanyahu’s war on Iran without becoming a cheerleader for the Iranian regime

#InternationalWomensDay #WomanLifeFreedom

Tehran's morning today. After a long night of massive fires, thick smoke still hangs over the city, and the rain has turned black.

The saddest part about this is that I know exactly where it is. I’ve been here a thousand times. One night, I remember waiting around here for “the guy” to come so I could buy homemade beers from him for a gathering with our friends. It was one of the worst beers I’ve ever had.

Donald Trump sagt bei CNN, die nächste Führung im Iran müsse nicht demokratisch sein. Er sagt: „Ich habe mit vielen religiösen Anführern zu tun, und die sind fantastisch.“ Die Bevölkerung im Iran will in allererster Linie einen säkularen Staat. Wie man sich je auf Trump verlassen kann is beyond me.
