My family escaped a brutal Islamic dictatorship.
Never in my life did I imagine that Americans would one day elect those who not only refuse to call out Islamic terrorism, but also openly praise Allah, in Arabic, in a political speech.
This is what an invasion looks like.

🚨🚨 JUST NOW: Deranged Abdul Supporter tackled a Jewish girl (@basedinmalibu) at free speech event.
She was SWIFTLY arrested, resisted and then said “I SHOULD HAVE KILLED HER!!” As she was loaded into the police vehicle.

Iranian opposition voices are being systematically targeted on this platform. Accounts belonging to Iranians who stand against the Islamic Republic are facing mass reporting, restrictions, and suspensions, often without any clear explanation.
This is not just about losing social media accounts. For many Iranians, X is one of the few remaining ways to expose the crimes of the Islamic Republic, share information with the outside world, document the regime's brutality, and make sure the voices of our people are heard.
The Islamic Republic has spent decades trying to silence Iranians. Its supporters should not be allowed to use coordinated reporting campaigns to achieve the same thing on a platform that claims to stand for free speech.
We are asking the X team to take this situation seriously:
Investigate coordinated mass-reporting campaigns targeting Iranian opposition accounts.
Review wrongful suspensions and restrictions imposed on Iranian users.
Ensure that reporting systems cannot be weaponized to silence people for their political views.
Protect the ability of Iranians to speak freely and expose the Islamic Republic without being driven off this platform.
We are not asking for special treatment. We are asking for fairness, consistency, and the freedom to speak.
Do not let the Islamic Republic export its censorship to X. Our voices matter, and we will not be silenced.

Mr. @MarkJCarney, your disgraceful support for the UAE’s claims over Iran’s three islands is an insult to history! These islands were Iranian before the UAE even existed. You cannot rewrite history with a political statement! 🇮🇷

Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney’s statement describing Iran’s sovereignty over Greater Tunb, Lesser Tunb, and Abu Musa as an “occupation” is outrageous and deserves the strongest condemnation.
Iran’s presence and authority in the Persian Gulf go back more than 2,500 years, to the Achaemenid Empire. Historical records and maps, including British maps from 1886 and 1892, provide evidence of Iran’s historical ownership of these islands—long before the United Arab Emirates even existed.
The UAE was established on December 2, 1971. Iran’s history and territorial rights cannot simply be rewritten to accommodate today’s political or economic interests.
And let me be absolutely clear: Iran is not the Islamic Republic regime. Iran’s territorial integrity belongs to the Iranian nation, not to any government or political system. It is not up for negotiation.
As an Iranian, I find Prime Minister Carney’s statement historically irresponsible, deeply offensive, and utterly unacceptable.

Mr. @MarkJCarney, Prime Minister of Canada,
As an Iranian-Canadian citizen and taxpayer who has lived in Canada for nearly three decades, I strongly condemn your government’s statement supporting the UAE’s territorial claims over Abu Musa, Greater Tunb, and Lesser Tunb in the Persian Gulf.
On what historical evidence, international treaties, or legal authority does your government base this position? Who authorized Canada to take sides in a territorial dispute involving Iran? Did your government even examine Iran’s historical and legal evidence before issuing this statement?
Why is your government giving such prominence to territorial claims against Iran while the Iranian people’s suffering, executions, and decades of repression demand urgent attention? What concrete actions has Canada taken to hold those responsible for these atrocities accountable?
Were economic interests, UAE investments, or diplomatic agreements factors in your government’s decision? Canadians deserve transparency and answers.
Iran’s territorial integrity is not a bargaining chip for Canada’s economic or political interests. No foreign government has the right to treat Iranian territory as something it can give away through diplomatic declarations.
I demand that your government explain the legal basis for its statement and clarify why it chose to endorse the UAE’s claims.
Let me be absolutely clear: Neither you nor your government has any legal authority to transfer, alter, or determine Iran’s territorial sovereignty through a political declaration.
Iran’s territorial integrity is non-negotiable.

نخست‌وزیر کانادا تمامیت ارضی ایران رو زیر سؤال برده. ایمان عزیز در پاسخ به ایشون یک پست انگلیسی بسیار قوی نوشته.
خواهش می‌کنم طوری حمایتش کنید که صدای ما به گوش جهان برسه.
I strongly condemn Prime Minister Mark Carney’s statement regarding Iran’s three islands of Abu Musa, Greater Tunb, and Lesser Tunb.
By endorsing the UAE’s territorial claims and referring to Iran’s presence on these islands as an “occupation,” Canada has taken an unacceptable position that disregards Iran’s sovereignty and territorial integrity.
Canada should know better than to compromise the fundamental principles of sovereignty and territorial integrity for the sake of economic and political partnerships.
The three islands are an inseparable part of Iran. Iran’s territorial integrity is not negotiable.

UAE oil money you may have pocketed as bribes cannot rewrite history or distort facts. Claiming Iran’s three islands belong to the UAE is outrageous bullshit.

Dear stupid @MarkJCarney,
Abu Musa, Greater Tunb, & Lesser Tunb belong to the Iranian people. This is NOT up for discussion.
Please focus on the problems in Canada you were elected to address. I will never, ever vote Liberal again.
