It’s not just that these people are shameless liars, it’s that they are actively lobbying in defence of the Russian and Iranian dictatorships. Actively portraying the victim as the aggressor, and the aggressor as the victim. Morally repugnant.
Ukraine is not trying to just enter the war with Iran. Rather, it appears it is trying to merge the Ukraine war with the Iran war. Why? Because if these two wars merge, Ukraine will be a belligerent in the Iran war and America will be a belligerent in the Ukraine war. That is, the US will no longer just be arming Ukraine, but also actively and openly fighting Russia with US personnel. That is the key objective Zelensky has tried to achieve since 2022...

“four of the world's most deeply-sourced experts” yeah right :))
Replying to @amanpour
We stand by this story, which was based on extensive reporting and rigorous sourcing. The bylines on this story belong to four of the world's most deeply-sourced experts on international affairs and diplomacy who have repeatedly revealed important details about the war.

Tehran and Washington are both escalating by raising each other’s costs in unexpected ways. Pursued recklessly, this path would lead to unexpected humanitarian catastrophes, in Iran and the wider region.

What an absolute disgrace! The regime has suffocated all means of communication with the outside world for the public. @nytimes’s reaction: Let’s dedicate a full column to the diary of the president’s son.

The blown-up police station in Niavaran, Tehran was where the hijab police took me to when I was 16 because my mandatory garment (the long tunic or shirt we had to always wear) did not reach my knees. Among the detainees there was a woman who dared to argue with those thugs, saying her father was a martyr of Iran-Iraq war. After intensely insulting her late father, the officers took her to a back room and beat her up. Initially we heard her screaming and the thudding of them kicking her with their boots. After a few minutes silence ensued. To this day I wonder what happened to her.
این کلانتری نیاوران که زدن فک کنم اونی بود که منو دوم دبیرستان گشت ارشاد گرفت برد اون جا. یه زنی بود که دهن به دهنشون گذاشت و گفت پدرش شهید جنگه. بردنش یه اتاق پشتی و لگدکوبش کردن. ما چند دقیقه صدای جیغ و لگد می‌شنیدیم و بعدش صدا قطع شد. همیشه یادش که می‌افتم با خودم می‌گم چی شد ینی سرنوشتش.

A pragmatic kingpin who oversaw the massacre of 32 thousand innocent lives. It’s like feeling sorry for the killing of Hamas terrorists. Have you people no shame?
I fear @vali_nasr is right. When I met Ali Larijani I found him an absolute insider kingpin of the Iranian regime -- but also the kind of strong and pragmatic leader who just might be able to hammer out a peace deal. Not sure, but I wonder if the war will now be harder to end.

In memory of all the innocent, brave, freedom loving lives of my fellow Iranians, and all the innocents that were killed by the orders of "that" murderous fanatic dictator... The news we've been waiting for all of our lives has finally come... LONG LIVE IRAN پاینده ایران!

از متن همین *بیانیه مطبوعاتی* «از ترس جانم و به دنبال توصیه‌های وزارت امور اروپا و امور خارجه فرانسه، *پس از استفاده از سلاح گرم توسط *نیروهای امنیتی*، در تظاهرات شرکت نکردم*» «توانستم شاهد... و حتی از پنجره‌ام، استفاده گسترده از سلاح برای ساکت کردن معترضان باشم»
بیانیه مطبوعاتی در پی کمپین تهدید به مرگ، آزار سایبری و دروغ‌پراکنی که در حال حاضر با آن مواجه هستم. #Iran

«از من خواسته شد تا توضیحاتم را ارائه دهم و من حقیقت را گفتم: من هر شب برای تظاهرات بیرون نمیرفتم و هر روز صبح در خیابان خودم هیچ جسدی را که روی زمین افتاده بود، نمی‌دیدم.» بله، از متن همین بیانیه‌ی مطبوعاتی (!) مشخصه که حقیقت رو گفتی.

A new low even for the @BBC @bbcpersian
📺 The BBC cancelled almost all TV and radio interviews on #Iran's internet blackout they'd scheduled or suggested changing topic to other outages. With huge respect to BBC journos, this wastes human rights monitors' time, hasn't happened in past crises, and needs investigation.

I’m devastated. A good friend and dormmate of mine, Amin Pourfarhang, has been sentenced to death after protesting in Iran 😭 He’s one of the kindest people I’ve ever known. Please share. Visibility raises the cost for the Islamic Republic and may stop this execution!

Well, this is not a surprise for anyone with a bare minimum of decency and common sense who has followed @FranceskAlbs 's actions and statements over the years.
LEFT: U.N. “human rights expert” Francesca Albanese says she's silent on slaughter of Iranian protesters as it's beyond her Palestinian areas mandate to which she is “rigorously dedicated.” RIGHT: Albanese last week condemning U.S. for arresting dictator Maduro in Venezuela.

Still, it's always sad to see that for many people - especially people who have some sort of meaningful power - their ideology comes first. Anything that goes against their ideological world view is to be dismissed, or ignored. But history will remember.
