What does it mean to belong to a country whose history fills you with pride, but whose people are still paying for the simple hope of a better future?

A deeply personal conversation with @persianorigin about Iran, our history, the massacre of our compatriots in January, and the future we hope to see for our homeland.

Three women, different experiences, and a shared love for a country whose story deserves to be told beyond the headlines.

Documentary coming soon. 🥹🎥

While Iranians march peacefully by the hundreds of thousands for basic survival and fundamental freedoms,

 streets across Europe are torn apart by violent riots over everyday grievances.

In Europe, the toxic doctrine that "the end justifies the means" has been fully normalized—legitimizing destruction in the name of justice.

Meanwhile, the Iranian diaspora hands out flowers to police, and protesters in Iran throw back state handouts to demand the complete end of an oppressive regime.

The mindset that justifies destruction in European streets shares its core DNA with the regime in Iran: pure, destructive force.

It is time to learn true civic dignity from the Iranian people and recognize the forces quietly dismantling the Western world from within.

فارسی

در حالی که صدها هزار ایرانی برای ابتدایی‌ترین حقوق انسانی و حق حیات خود با متانت و آرامش راهپیمایی می‌کنند،

خیابان‌های اروپا به اسم اعتراضات مدنی دستخوش اغتشاش و تخریب می‌شوند.

در اروپا این تفکر آسیب‌زا جا افتاده که «هدف، وسیله را توجیه می‌کند» و خشونت را به نام عدالت مشروع می‌داند.

در مقابل، ایرانیان خارج از کشور به پلیس گل می‌دهند و مردم در ایران جیره‌های حکومتی را پس می‌زنند تا نشان دهند خواسته‌شان نه صدقه، بلکه پایان کامل این رژیم است.

ذهنیتی که تخریب اموال عمومی در اروپا را توجیه می‌کند، همان جوهره و ذات ویرانگر رژیم حاکم بر ایران را دارد: تخریب محض.

وقت آن رسیده که درس کرامت و شرف مدنی را از مردم ایران بیاموزیم و نیروهایی که دنیای آزاد را از درون تخریب می‌کنند بشناسیم.

As Iranians we have heard this quote many times over. We have shared not only the wisdoms of the late shah of Iran, but also our own experiences. 

Everything we have warned about is now developing in front of your eyes. It’s not even only in your backyards anymore. It’s full blown revealing in your streets. 

Yet you call it something else. Instead of what it really is, as if the truth hurts to much. 
Yet you still don’t take it seriously. Instead call us Iranians bad things, as if we were the problem.
Yet you refuse to learn from history. Instead you believe the lies and propaganda, as if you were all blind. 

So many cities in France. Bruxelles. Amsterdam. Milan. Tirana. Which cities are waiting? How many of our heritage sites must burn? How many shops must be robbed? How many old paintings must vanish? How many police men and civilians must be hurt?

Before you put your naivety away? What makes you think what happened in Iran cannot happen to you?

What makes you think you know better than us who not only lived it but lost everything because of it?

How long will you look away?

Iranian Americans are the most successful migrant group in the US, making some of the best companies, and excelling in science and technology, however the political influence remains to be very low. Only 4% take part in the elections and that number is incredibly low. In order to get political influence and make a change, your votes are needed. Your deadline to register is 19th October. #IranianAmerican #USElections #Democracybuilding

ایرانی‌های ساکن امریکا که واجد شرایط رای دادن هستید؛ قرار نیست فقط توی اقتصاد و دانشگاه موفق باشیم، باید اهمیت حضور در عرصه عمومی و سیاسی رو هم جدی بگیریم.

چون موفقیت فردی به شما جایگاه می‌ده، اما مشارکت و سازمان‌دهی سیاسی، به یک جامعه قدرت اثرگذاری می‌ده. 
To all eligible Iranian-American voters: Our success shouldn’t be limited to business and academia. We must also recognize the importance of active participation in public and political life.

Individual success earns you recognition, but political participation and collective organization give a community the power to make a real difference.

Islamic Republic of Iran is a Republic of death, hangings, slaughter, torture, and repression. A nation held hostage by minority radical ideologists, its people punished for demanding freedom.

One execution in America shook the world. Yet over TWO THOUSAND executions in Iran within a single year have not sparked the same global outrage. Why?

Every day, we wake up to news of executions claiming the lives of some of Iran’s brightest, most talented young people—lives filled with potential, dreams, and futures that will never be realised.

Why does one execution command the world’s attention while thousands more seem to fade into silence?

Is it because it happened in America? Or have Iranian lives been deemed so insignificant that even the loss of thousands fails to provoke the outrage they deserve?

Are some lives worth more than others?

The Islamic Republic demands the world’s concern for children while teaching generations to glorify sacrifice.

Children aren’t born wanting to become martyrs. Somebody teaches them that🤷🏻‍♀️
