My grandfather, Yousef Khoshkish, was the last Governor of the Central Bank in Iran before the Islamic Revolution. He was executed by Khomeini’s regime 44 years ago, today.
Every day, especially today, I think of his legacy serving Iran. Before his time at the Central Bank, he served as the head of Bank Melli for 17 years, where he turned a struggling institution into one of the nation's pillars.
Despite talks of needing to close branches and lay off employees, under my grandfather’s leadership, Bank Melli grew from 180 to 1,800 branches, becoming the 60th largest bank in the world, while ensuring no employees lost their jobs or benefits. That legacy was what he worked and died for.
My grandfather's story taught me at a very young age what it meant to love and serve the Iranian people, no matter what. He will always be remembered as a true and selfless patriot ❤️

ایران کهنسال ما کشوری است همزاد تاریخ، که تا به امروز از فراز و نشیب های بیشماری گذر کرده، و از طوفان های هولناک سربلند بیرون آمده. راهنمای ایران و ایرانی، در درازای این راه، نام آورانی بوده اند که به ستون‌های هویت ملی ما تبدیل شده اند.
پر آوازه ترین آنها کوروش بزرگ است، که نخستین امپراتوری تاریخ جهان را بر موازین آزادی ملت ها، مساوات و حقوق بشر پایه گذاری کرد، و آخرین آنها هم شاهنشاه آریامهر بود، که با برگزاری جشن‌های پرشکوه ۲۵۰۰ ساله شاهنشاهی ایران، نام کوروش را جاودانه کرد، و یادآور هر ایرانی شد که بداند مسئول حراست و ادامه راه این پادشاه بزرگ برای میهنش است.
ایران ما، تا به امروز پیروز بر همه این سختی های تاریخ بوده، و همواره ققنوس وار از خاکسترش سر بلند کرده، و تردیدی ندارم که امروز هم، با پیروزی نهایی نور بر تاریکی، از این آخرین مبارزه تاریخی خود نیز سربلند و پیروز بیرون خواهد آمد.
On Cyrus the Great Day, we honor a civilization that birthed the first-ever charter of human rights, rooted in freedom and justice.
For over 2,500 years, that legacy has endured through the Iranian people. Iran's identity did not begin with the Islamic Republic, nor will it end with it.

"In 2014, Medea Benjamin, the co-founder of anti-war organisation Code Pink, was in contact with men later identified by US officials as facilitators for the Islamic Republic’s foreign intelligence. They were sanctioned by the US treasury five years later."

Hasan: "What do you call Crimea? I call it a part of Russian territory, bitch. That's what I call Crimea. I call it cry me a river. A Russian river."
Hasan claims he was "incredibly critical of Russia's invasion" and that Russia is as bad as the U.S.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know

The regime’s judiciary is drafting a law to criminalize “insulting” the Islamic Republic’s flag.
Yet the Iranian people continue to risk their lives to raise the Lion and Sun, refusing to allow this regime to erase Iran’s identity.
Anyways, yesterday the Islamic Republic murdered another innocent man, mountaineer and musician Ali-Sina Mostafavi, for wanting freedom for Iran.
23-year-old Najmeh Amini, only two years younger than me, is facing imminent execution over a social media post.
Where was this outrage when their employees were being interviewed by regime outlets? Why didn’t they confront them?
“HEGSETH, YOU’RE NOT A WARRIOR! YOU’RE A COWARD!”
Today, Iranian Americans, including NIAC Communications Manager @BellaJavidan, confronted Secretary of War Pete Hegseth at a massive gathering of military officials and defense contractors showcasing the latest weapons of war.
While weapons manufacturers gather to profit from death and destruction, Iranian Americans are demanding an end to the war and accountability for the civilians killed by the very weapons being bought and sold in these halls.

23-year-old Najmeh Amini is at risk of imminent execution after the regime sentenced her to death over a social media post.
Her life is in danger.
In a message from prison, Najmeh said: “I do not want to make a hero out of myself today. I only want one thing: be my voice."
Say Najmeh's name.
On the birthday of Her Imperial Majesty Shahbanou Farah Pahlavi, we honor her enduring legacy and devotion to Iran.
From preserving Iran’s ancient heritage to championing the arts, elevating Iranian culture on the world stage, and advancing opportunities for women, her contributions and love of country continue to inspire generations of Iranians and embody the promise of a prosperous Iran ♥️ مادر ایران زمین
this happens in Iran almost every single day.
countless Iranians have been executed for speaking out against the regime, charged with this exact thing.
why are accounts like @PopBase silent when it comes to Iranian lives and the Islamic Republic's crimes against humanity?
24-year-old migrant worker, Anojan Sivarasa, is facing the death penalty in Saudi Arabia after a court declared him guilty of blasphemy against Islam and the Prophet Muhammad over a comment he made on Facebook.

Another of Iran's bravest executed by the Islamic Republic.
This morning, the regime murdered mountaineer and musician Ali-Sina Mostafavi on a false charge of "waging war against Allah."
This is the reality of life under the Islamic Republic occupying Iran. They will not stop massacring freedom-loving Iranians.
Today, Amnesty once again sounded the alarm on the regime's executions of innocent protesters. Five in one week.
Meanwhile, NIAC is engaging in marches that proudly fly the regime's flag. The one the Iranian people were killed for rejecting.
I'd like to know when their march for victims of the regime will be held.
One post about executions that acknowledges and legitimizes the charges the regime puts on these protesters doesn't count. Especially when your employees downplay the regime's use of the death penalty by conflating it with the United States.

Iran executed two men over January’s protests in Isfahan last Monday. One of them, 25-year-old Alireza Sepahi, was hanged a day after he married his fiancée inside prison. His bride, Mahshad Kashani, had herself been arrested and jailed for five years. The second, Alireza Raisi, 21, was his family’s only son, detained days after he buried a cousin killed in the same protests. Iran has executed nearly two people a week in political and security cases since the January protests, an Iran International review of cases shows.

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.

9 months ago, the regime massacred thousands of Iranians for demanding freedom.
@manototv's documentary ensures that the voices the regime tried to silence live on and that the world can't claim it didn't know.

US Secretary of State Marco Rubio accused Iran on Thursday of killing wounded protesters in hospitals and, in some cases, doctors and nurses who treated them.
“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,” Rubio said during a visit to Lisbon.
