As an Iranian who stayed connected through Starlink during the total internet blackout, I want to wholeheartedly confirm what President Trump just said:
"The Iranian people want to be free. They have lived in a world that you know NOTHING about."
For 47 years, my people have endured systematic torture, rape, murder, humiliation, anxiety, suppression, and grief under the Islamic Republic. It’s been a long, grinding suffering — punctuated by brutal spikes like the January protests, mass executions, and now war. The world has no idea of the scale or depth of these horrors. Only when this evil regime finally falls will the full truth pour out — in quality and quantity that will shock humanity.
We have now reached a point where almost no cost is too great if it rids us of this regime. Because the cost of it staying in power is infinitely higher.
If you’re reading this and you can’t understand how any Iranian could feel relief at their own country losing a war and getting bombed… I envy you. You have never lived what we have lived. You have never watched your people, friends, family, and loved ones get tortured, raped, or killed almost daily and over half a century. You have never seen an entire nation slowly but brutally suffocated like this.
We tried every alternative imaginable: massive protests, dissent, peaceful reform, negotiations — everything. None of it worked. The regime’s answer has always been bullets, gallows, and more terror.
Now, less than 24 hours before Trump’s deadline, I write this with a heavy heart from inside Iran:
Whatever happens next — if there is still an Iran left to save and this regime is gone — the Iranian people will be happy with the result. No matter the cost. Because the cost of the regime remaining is higher, and for many of us, death itself is preferable to another day under this nightmare.
This is the true sentiment of the majority of Iranians — the voice of a people who often have no internet, no platform, and no way to be heard.
The world will soon understand why we say:
Anything to be free. Anything to end this evil.

We are praying for your safety and freedom.
Very moving letter. I really look forward to the positive outpouring she projects.
This quote here is why I have little patience for the libertarian minded who say something like "We grant them their power. All we have to do is remove our consent." Or all we have to do is resist. Or all we have to do is throw away our smartphones.
Sorry, it does not work like that. The regime has the bullets. And the police. And the jails. And the street thugs. And the spies. Protests will be squashed. Observe how the government reacted to one million Covid lock-down protesters in Australia.
A Citizens' uprising for freedom can succeed if it is paired to a powerful political counter-power of equal or greater strength. For this I cross my heart and say Thank Q.
I would wager that they had their limits. If it was their kids on the bridge or surrounding the power plant, they would put up with the regime to keep them alive.
Yes I would imagine there is a limit that could be found, but at least for now we only have to worry about IRGC militant families in danger. What is worse, those being brainwashed and led as a lamb to the slaughter or people forced at gunpoint to be human shields. Either option is tragic enough in my mind so I don’t care but I personally think they are likely IRGC families since there was a call to surround the bridges and power plants.
In dealing with human shields standing on bridges, does the U.S. military have the option of using soft weapons?
We know there are sonic and microwave crowd control weapons that can be used in short to medium range to disperse large crowds. Since we can't set up on ground, is it possible to use something like the directed energy weapons deployed on Maui, but instead of set to "burn", drop the setting to "ouchie". Once the crowd is dispersed send the precision missiles.

Just wondering the mechanics of how it's all going to go down...
I guess they'll have to first get power and some infrastructure back up...
Somehow they've got to get their economy going... and that's where I have the most questions...
City of London has been manipulating and doing dirty money deals for so long... How are they going to get around that? Are they getting on a non-swift alternative?
I find it interesting how hard they hide the statecraft aspects of these wars and conflicts so you have no idea wtf is really going on. I guess they're afraid we'll catch on to yet another flavor of their bullshit...
I suspect Trump has a plan for that too . . .
We'll see.
Powerful account! I follow this one and several others.
PRAYING for them! 🙏🤍
didn't a lot of Iranians leave a long time ago, but dearly want to return to a non-muslim country?
How many "Persians" are still in Iran?
