@bbcnews The chants on the streets and response to Prince Reza Pahlavi's call to action are clear as day. He is the unifying figure that has earned the trust of the people, and proven to bring millions of Iranians across demographic lines together. Iranians know what they want and who they trust to lead the transition towards a free and prosperous Iran.

Since the January 8/9 massacre in Iran, the Iranian diaspora has mobilized en masse.
On February 14 alone, police reported more than 1.4 million people were on the streets around the world.
This is how they acted: dignified, respectful, and thoughtful.

SECRETARY RUBIO: I think what President Trump has exposed is that the number one driver of instability, war, conflict, and the number one obstacle to peace in the Middle East is the Islamic regime in Tehran.

Majid Nikandish, a true soldier of Iran, was arrested and executed by the Islamic Republic after refusing to open fire on protesters who took to the streets of Mashhad during Iran's January National Uprising.
A photo of his final testament, written hours before his execution, was recently released. In it, Majid speaks of his love for his family and asks them to celebrate his life at his funeral. He emphasizes that only one question remains on his mind: "Why?"
This is the question every awakened conscience must ask today to amplify the voices of these innocent political prisoners: Why does the Islamic Republic execute the children of Iran on baseless and fabricated charges?
We will never forget Iran's fallen heroes. Justice will prevail!

زمستان امسال، کمبود گاز می‌تواند زنجیره‌ای از مشکلات را به دنبال داشته باشد، از محدودیت تولید صنایع و خاموشی تا آلودگی بیشتر هوا و آسیب بلندمدت به ظرفیت تولید نفت.
آیدین پناهی، کارشناس حوزه انرژی و از نویسندگان پروژه شکوفایی ایران، توضیح می‌دهد چرا جمهوری اسلامی با دشواری بیشتری در تأمین انرژی روبه‌روست و چگونه هزینه این بحران بار دیگر به زندگی و معیشت مردم منتقل می‌شود.

Peace and stability in the Middle East will only be possible when the Islamic Republic's reign of terror is ended.
Prior to 1979, Iran had strong ties with both Saudi Arabia and Israel.
That is the path Prince Reza Pahlavi represents. That is what the people of Iran seek.
Yesterday's horrific attack on the King Khalid airport in Riyadh is the latest proof that the regime in Tehran will never seek peace. Since 1979, whether directly or through its proxies, it has waged war on the Kingdom and sought instability.
I express my condolences to King Salman, Crown Prince Mohammad bin Salman, and the people of Saudi Arabia at the lives lost in this terrorist attack. The Houthis and their campaign of chaos will end when Iran is free and the friendly relations between our two countries are restored.

“The resistance of the Iranian people” is about the massive majority of Iranians trying to free themselves from their radical Islamist overlords who have held them hostage for the last 47 years. In this effort, hundreds of thousands have paid for it with their lives, including the purging of thousands of “leftists” who helped them into power.
Through the western media the regime in Iran is now trying to reframe “the resistance of the Iranian people” as themselves in “resistance” to Donald Trump”. Yet another laughable trick in their shameful playbook attempting to appeal to American public opinion.
The fact that the regime have issued a 25 page document urging Americans to vote Democrat in the 2026 Midterm elections, with a view to lessening Trump’s powers in Congress, shows how desperate they are to cling to power and continue to kill and execute their citizens. And millions are falling for it.
If going from “Death to America!” to “Vote Democrat!” doesn’t tell you everything, nothing will.
Ask anyone reasonable and with a brain in the Middle East - peace will only be achieved in the region when this regime falls.
Calmly and simply, the record is set straight.

Responding to the statement by 133 Iranian political prisoners and activists, @StSaebisch , Chair of the Executive Board of the Friedrich Naumann Foundation for Freedom, wrote:
“We acknowledge your statement with respect. The 2026 Freedom Award of the Friedrich Naumann Foundation for Freedom honors precisely those many women and men in Iran who risk their lives through their resistance against the mullah regime.”
The signatories recognize Prince Reza Pahlavi as their political representative and the voice of their demands to the international community. They call for concrete international action to halt executions, secure the release of political prisoners, and support the Iranian people’s struggle for freedom.
Wir nehmen Ihre Erklärung mit Respekt entgegen. Der Freiheitspreis 2026 der @FNFreiheit ehrt gerade die vielen Frauen und Männer im Iran, die für ihren Widerstand gegen das Mullah-Regime ihr Leben aufs Spiel setzen.

در حالیکه جمهوری اسلامی و بلندگوهای خارج از کشورش مدعیند به خاطر تحریم‌ها دارو‌در ایران کمیاب شده، جمهوری اسلامی دویست میلیون دلار به عنوان کمک هزینه به طرفداران حزب‌الله، هر خانواده سه هزار دلار، کمک کرده است. این جدای از کمک سالانه یک میلیارد دلاری رژیم به حزب‌الله لبنان است که خرج بودجه نظامی حزب‌الله می‌شود.

سقوط شتابان ریال یعنی بی‌ارزش شدن دستمزدها، حقوق‌ها و مستمری‌ها، آب شدن پس‌انداز مردم و گران‌تر شدن زندگی روزمره. تورم نزدیک به ۹۰ درصد، مالیات پنهانی است که رژیم از دارندگان ریال می‌گیرد و به جیب کسانی می‌ریزد که پول را چاپ می‌کنند و زودتر خرج می‌کنند.
تورم مهار نمی‌شود، اما سیاست‌های شکست‌خورده‌ای مثل دلارپاشی تکرار می‌شوند که فقط ثروت خودی‌ها را زیاد می‌کنند. در چنین شرایطی که ریال به ریسک روزانه تبدیل شده، طبیعی است که مردم از آن فاصله بگیرند و به ارزهای باثبات روی بیاورند.
دلاری‌شدن اقتصاد و نابودی پول ملی نتیجهٔ مستقیم بی‌ثباتی دائمی، چاپ پول، فساد گسترده و سیاست‌های نابخردانهٔ این رژیم است. تا وقتی این ساختار سر کار است، اصلاح ممکن نیست و سقوط ادامه دارد.

Iran uses the death penalty to silence its people and has by far the world’s highest execution rate per capita, UN experts said Friday, calling for an immediate halt to executions.
They said Iranian law still allows the death penalty for consensual same-sex relations and for some religious offenses, including apostasy.
“Iran’s death penalty is used to silence dissent, with broadly defined national security offences recasting peaceful activity as a threat,” the experts said.

US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said Washington’s expanded pressure campaign was increasingly cutting Iranian officials off from international travel and assets, mocking what he described as the overseas lifestyles of members of the Revolutionary Guards.
“They can’t go see their plastic surgeon in London, their girlfriend in Paris, and their money in Geneva,” Bessent told Newsmax on Thursday, arguing that restrictions on flights and financial access were leaving Iranian officials increasingly isolated.
“We did have a maximum pressure campaign. Now we have an absolute isolation campaign and it’s working,” he said.
Bessent said the campaign extended beyond financial sanctions to the US blockade of Iranian shipping and efforts to restrict air and land routes. He said the UAE and Oman were cooperating with Washington, while the US was working with Pakistan and Turkey “to cut off all the land routes.”

Marco Rubio on Iran:
The Iranian regime goes into hospitals when protesters are injured and murders the people there, and sometimes murders the doctors and the nurses who treated them.

Iran is cancelling passports, freezing bank accounts, and confiscating homes — not just of dissidents but also of their families. The government’s strategy: make protest too costly. @specialreports investigates reut.rs/4i5IRDj

And you — @CNN — fall for it over and over.
Because you hate the President more than you love the country (and our troops).

Thank you, @PahlaviReza, for your deeply meaningful message of solidarity and friendship as we mark three years since the horrors of the October 7th terror attacks carried out by Hamas.
To the people of Israel: I stand with you in grief, remembrance and solidarity on the third anniversary of October 7. We will never forget those murdered or the suffering of their families and the survivors.
The Islamic Republic that armed and supported Hamas is the same regime that keeps Iranians in chains. When Iran is free, we will hold all those involved in these crimes accountable. Both our peoples deserve freedom and security.
The bond between Iranians and Jews stretches back 2,500 years to Cyrus the Great. A free Iran will be a friend and partner to Israel. Lasting peace and stability for both our peoples will only come with the fall of the Islamic Republic.

We remember the lives stolen on October 7, the survivors, & the families forever changed. Hamas carried out these atrocities with the support of the Islamic Republic — the same regime that has brought decades of violence & suffering to the Iranian people. We will never forget 🕯
