For years, Western officials called Ali Larijani a “pragmatist” and a “diplomat.” In reality, he helped oversee one of the Islamic Republic’s most notorious propaganda operations — built on fear, coercion, and forced confessions. In 1996, state TV aired Hoveyat (“Identity”) — an Orwellian smear campaign targeting Iran’s leading writers, historians, and intellectuals. Week after week, they were branded traitors, Western agents, and enemies of the state. Larijani was head of state broadcasting at the time. This wasn’t incidental. He defended the program publicly — accusing its targets of taking money from foreign embassies and justifying the campaign against them. The show relied on forced confessions. Ezzatollah Sahabi. Gholamhossein Mirza Saleh. Even Ali-Akbar Saeedi Sirjani — who died in custody — was made to “confess” on air after his death. Behind Hoveyat was a coordinated system: state TV, intelligence services, and hardline media working together to crush dissent. This is Larijani’s record. Not a reformer. Not a centrist. A key operator in the machinery of repression.





Mahmoud Khalil says Hamas is an integral and apparently ethnic component of being “Palestinian” because according to him, to ask a Palestinian to condemn Hamas is “racist” Can’t make this up. Why is this disgusting terrorist fanboy still in the U.S.?

Catholics are called to reject antisemitism and the lies and conspiracies that fuel it, and to stand clearly against hatred and violence directed toward our Jewish brothers and sisters. To defend religious freedom with integrity, we must also reject antisemitism. @ArchbishpSample @archdpdx Watch the full video at: ow.ly/sYF550Yw6cA
