As an Iranian still inside Iran, writing through Starlink with a broken heart and burning rage, I am showing you what the regime desperately tries to hide
Look at these streets. Look at the blood. They killed so many of our brothers and sisters on January 8th and 9th that the ditches filled with blood, the streets ran red, and the walls were soaked with the blood of innocent protesters. This was one of the most savage massacres of peaceful demonstrators in modern history — and the Islamic Republic’s internet blackout is their attempt to bury the evidence.
Yet while Iranians the ground reject their lies — IRGC propaganda gets almost zero traction and tiny impressions on our social media — the English-speaking world, especially Western platforms, keeps consuming and amplifying the regime’s propaganda non-stop.
This is not the free world.
This is not independent journalism.
This is betrayal.
Stop listening to the Islamic Republic’s propaganda. Stop giving oxygen to the butchers who murder our people and then cry “victim” in English. While they hunt Starlink users with $2,000 bounties, torture fathers to death, and roll out their loyalty-based internet tiers, mainstream media stays shamefully silent on the rivers of blood we have shed.
For 47 years we have lived this nightmare — economic pressure crushing every family, blackouts, arrests, and now open bounties on anyone seeking truth. We danced with pure joy when Khamenei was removed because we saw the beginning of the end. That hope still lives in us.
We are willing to endure everything — the fear, the threats, the hunger, the daily terror that our children feel — because our country and our people are on the line. But we will not let our suffering be in vain while the outside world platforms the regime’s lies.
President Trump sees through them. The rest of the free world must wake up and do the same.
The blood on these streets cries out.
The souls of our martyrs demand justice.
The Lion and Sun will rise again.
