Why does the Islamic Republic of Iran chant Death to America? Because in their view we are a Godless nation. But since the early days of America we have always been a nation that respects the Holiness and Power of God. Freedom of religion means the freedom of the individual to manifest their relationship with the universe on their own terms. For what does any of us have if not for our own unique and singular relationship with all of creation? Respect for the individual is not Godless. America exists for the purpose of protecting each of our inalienable rights and freedoms, including the right to practice our faith and conscience freely. The nation exists to protect this rights of the masses, including the protection of minorities. Freedom dies when one group is allowed to unduly oppress the rights and aspirations of another. Our government exists in part to protect the individual’s right to an uncoerced and deeply personal relationship with the divine source.

@mhdksafa What does international humanitarian law have to say about Iran advocating for the destruction of other UN member states? If international law is to count for anything, let’s start with the basics.

Imagine if Iran bombed and destroyed the Golden Gate Bridge in California, what would you call it? TERRORISTS The U.S bombed and destroyed the highest bridge in Iran, the B1 bridge, why do you call it “PEACE”? Bombing a bridge is a war crime under international humanitarian law

@GovernorShapiro 100% agree. And a clear vision of a just and purposeful society.

Political violence — and the hate that fuels it — has become far too common in our society. We saw it here in Harrisburg when an arsonist attacked the Governor’s Residence and tried to kill me and my family this time last year. We saw it when the Minnesota Speaker of the House, Melissa Hortman, and her husband were gunned down in their home. We saw it with the assassination of Charlie Kirk in broad daylight. Political violence has no place in our politics. We all have a responsibility as elected leaders to speak and act with moral clarity. And to universally condemn political violence in all its forms, no matter what side it comes from or who is targeted.

@Gliner @Ostrov_A @drpezeshkian The think the people of the world are stupid and ignorant, and for the most part they are correct.

Iranian President @drpezeshkian in a letter to the American people: “Portraying Iran as a threat is neither consistent with historical reality nor with present-day observable facts.” Present-day Exhibit A: chants of “Death to America” during a parliamentary session 👇🏼

The regime secretly hanged 4 political prisoners within 24 hours. Now, 7 more are at risk. Each of them detained during the January protests and convicted of “enmity against God” (defying the supreme leader) through sham trials and tortured confessions. Be their voice.

🚨A host went on live TV begging ordinary Iranians NOT to leak the hiding locations of regime officials to Israel! He literally cried that if the people expose their coordinates, “it's over” and they will be eliminated. The Islamic Republic is terrified because they know the ultimate truth: millions of Iranians are acting as the eyes and ears of Israel on the ground. The Iranian people are actively cooperating to hunt down their oppressors. We are allies in this fight. 🇮🇱🇮🇷

Short version of every Jewish holiday: “They tried to kill us, we won, let’s eat.” In a thousand years the Jewish people will look back at this time as a historic victory over our persecutors, when despite the world, and the odds, being against us, we prevailed with the help of a divine hand.

Chag Pesach Sameach! We hope this Passover brings an abundance of prosperity and happiness to all who are celebrating in NY-14 and around the world. Have a wonderful Seder, and may your meal be plentiful and your questions be answered.

Iranian regime launches execution spree over growing fears of another uprising: 'existential threat' trib.al/EeHH3HK

I've been doing a lot of @CNN lately and I have concluded the Democratic position on Iran is: 1. We should surrender 2. Iran, with enriched uranium, a Navy, an Air Force, and missiles was less dangerous than one without. 3. We can't afford to use our missiles 4. We are not for making more missiles 5. We should keep letting Americans die from Iranian terror forever instead of stopping it. 6. We should surrender It's totally nonsensical.

Happy Passover to the Jewish communities in Ukraine and around the world. I wish the light of these days to bring peace, safety, and goodness to every family. Especially to all those who celebrate this holiday during times of war. It is time to restore security. It is time for all leaders to act together to create greater opportunities for a normal life. It is time for everyone with goodwill in their hearts to unite so that everyone has reliable protection and a good life. Chag Pesach Sameach!

وقتی به شما می‌گویند جمهوری‌اسلامی سرنگون نمی‌شود و سرنگون شدنی نیست، باور نکنید. هم سرنگون شدنی است، هم در حال سرنگونی است و هم سرنگونش می‌کنیم. بعد از کشتار دیماه نمی‌تواند بماند. نمی‌توانیم اجازه دهیم بماند.

جسارت نمی‌کنم اما نشانه‌های سقوط رو شما عزیزان خارج از کشور نمیتونید به اندازه ما که داخل ایران هستیم تشخیص بدید. اینکه جمهوری‌اسلامی هنوز موشک‌پراکنی می‌کنه رو دال بر عدم سقوط می‌دونید درست نیست. ما هر روز در کوچه و خیابان نشانه سقوط می‌بینیم. از پیامک‌هایی که میفرستن و به وضوح میشه در لابلای هر کاراکترش صدای زوزه باقیمانده حکومت رو شنید، از التماس‌هایی که فیس تو فیس می‌کنن برای حضور در خیابان، از عدم حضور یکماهه رئیس مجلس و فرمانده سپاه در تلویزیون حکومتی، از قطع ۳۲روزه اینترنت، سانسور مطبوعات و محاصره ضربتی مکان‌هایی که نقطه‌زنی میشه و از همه مهمتر پایگاه‌های موشکی که دیگه خاموش شدن و موشکی ازشون شلیک نمیشه و... ما اینجا روزانه داریم نشانه‌های سقوط رو می‌بینیم. اگر وقت و حوصله داشتم یک لیست مفصل از نشانه‌های سقوط براتون ردیف می‌کردم. پس لطفا با فکتهای محدود ته دل ملت رو خالی نکنید. از مایی که داخل هستیم بشنوید که از در و دیوار مملکت نشانه‌های سقوط می‌باره. #جاويدشاه‌ 🇮🇷

We see that many Iranians around the world respect Ukraine and are grateful that we did not stay silent about their pain and their desire to end dictatorship and live freely. And we all should act to help them. We feel that, despite all the disinformation, American hearts have not grown cold – they support those who fight for freedom, and they support us in defending ourselves against Russian aggression. It is important. From an address at the meeting of EU Foreign Ministers (1/5)

² Kuwait is softening stance on Israel, dissident tells ‘Post’ after viral UN speech - interview jpost.com/middle-east/ar… @Jerusalem_Post

Western civilization may never win another war if this keeps up This is maddening. The radical left, mainstream media, and the woke right are running the exact same playbook with the US/Israel campaign against Iran as they did with Israel in Gaza They create impossible standards in terms of: -Zero Casualties -Zero Economic Disruption -Zero Uncertainty -Zero Time to Accomplish the Mission -Zero Collateral Damage And everything the bad guys do is actually our fault because we made them do it….same script as Gaza…the bad guys have no agency and it’s actually our fault Day 32 of the Iran war: -degraded missile factories, nuclear sites, IRGC bases, and proxy networks -the Supreme Leader is gone…and his replacement is s vegetable -all the top leadership is gone…in fact, we don’t even know who’s in charge Yet the all you hear is endless doomerism And all of this sounds exactly like the demoralization propaganda from Russia, China, and Iran, that has infiltrated our society for years via social media and retarded influencers chasing click This isn’t responsible skepticism It’s weakness… And you’ll never get peace through strength when the opponent knows you lack resolve and they can just wait you out This is madness

Why haven't the evil zionists of Israel made incursions into Jordan? Oh yeah. Because Jordan hasn't allowed itself to be used as a staging spot to attack Israel. Rockets aren't coming into Israel from Jordan & Israel leaves Jordan alone. Amazing how that works.

I’ll bite. Finish the job for the U.S. IMO, destroy Iran’s current ballistic missile stockpile, destroy their ballistic missile building capability (industrial complex), destroy their navy and other means that allow them to threaten the strait of Hormuz, i.e. destroy their ability to project power outside of Iran; destroy all parts of Iran’s nuclear program and obtain their 1,000 pounds of 60% enriched uranium, deny Iran from ever getting a nuclear bomb. The new leadership in Iran discontinues its current and long standing behaviors to develop a nuclear bomb, ballistic missile shield and increasing range program, and use of the strait of Hormuz as a tool of regional and global economic coercion. Many military, political, and economic means and ways (not just military) can be used to achieve these ends.

@araghchi Your regime is finished. Leave now and spare your life. Your government is offensive to God.

Israel has hit 2 of Iran's largest steel factories, a power plant and civilian nuclear sites among other infrastructure. Israel claims it acted in coordination with the U.S. Attack contradicts POTUS extended deadline for diplomacy. Iran will exact HEAVY price for Israeli crimes
