The uproar, the girls and women ripping off and setting fire to their hijabs, the rage in the streets of 90 Iranian cities, show no signs of abating. The young people now leading these protests are different from the previous generation; they have lost that feeling of fear. They know that they have nothing more […]
Imam asks of those who support Iran protests, ‘Why aren’t these people fighting for the rights of nudity in Texas?’
There are people who actually think this Sharia advocate is a “moderate.” There are always some people who are not just willing, but eager, to be fooled. But if he supports hijab, and apparently forced hijab as well, as in Iran, then he likely supports the rest of Sharia as well. Most Americans have no […]
Iranian Government Focuses its Fury on the Kurds
Iran may be thought of not so much as a country as an empire. The rulers of this empire are the Persians, who make up about 60% of the population. The other 40% consists of four minority groups: the Kurds (13 million), the Azeris (14 million), the Arabs (2 million), and the Baluchis (3 million). […]
More vague promises from Biden to impose ‘further costs’ on Iran over its crackdown on protests
The Biden administration is once again talking big, but doing nothing concrete, as protests spread across the globe against the Iranian Islamic regime over the brutal murder of 22-year-old Mahsa Amini by the morality police, for not wearing her hijab correctly. At first, Biden said that America would sanction the morality police, which was meaningless. […]
Supreme Leader Finally Speaks, Denounces the Demonstrators, Blames U.S. and Israel for Unrest
For more than two weeks in 90 cities across Iran, including Tehran, Shiraz, Isfahan, Mashhad, Tabriz and even the religious center of Shi’ism, the city of Qom, protesters have denounced the murder of a young woman, Mahsa Amini, who had been picked up by the morality police for improperly affixing her hijab; three days later […]
Islamic Republic of Iran: ‘We will take action against the celebrities who have fanned the flames of the riots’
They’ll likely be charged with spreading corruption on earth, which is an actual crime in the Islamic Republic of Iran. “The only reward for those who make war upon Allah and his messenger and struggle to spread corruption on earth will be that they will be killed or crucified, or have their hands and feet […]
Biden vows to accelerate enforcement of sanctions on Iran’s petroleum and petrochemical sales
It looks as if the incompetent Biden administration is finally showing some sign of possibly taking action (beyond sanctioning Iran’s morality police, which was an utterly meaningless gesture) following the violent beating death of 22-year-old Mahsa Amini after her arrest in Tehran for improperly wearing her hijab according to regime rules. It seems to have taken […]
Iran Attacks Kurds In Iraq
Iran is now at the end of the second week of protests over the death of Mahsa Amini, a young Kurdish woman tortured and killed while in police custody, after having been arrested by the Morality Police for not wearing her hijab properly. What started as protests in Tehran and the Kurdish areas have now […]
Iran: Islamic Republic’s security forces shoot and kill 20-year-old woman who was getting ready to join protests
This is how the Islamic Republic has survived earlier uprisings: murder the protesters indiscriminately until things quiet down. Will they succeed again this time? Possibly. But eventually even the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps and the rest of the regime’s most ruthless enforcers will be sickened at the prospect of continuing to murder their own mothers […]
Iran: The Protesters are Not Cowed, and the Regime Has Been Shaken to Its Core
On September 13, in Tehran, Iran, the Morality Police took Mahsa Amini, a 22-year-old Kurdish woman, into custody for incorrectly tying her hijab. Eyewitnesses said they saw her being beaten with a baton as she was shoved into a van. Three days later, she was dead. The police announced that she had died of a […]
