What still shocks me is this: Ali Khamenei called on foreign forces to help kill Iranian citizens. A regime so corrupt and desperate to cling to power that it colludes with and imports foreign troops, including Iraqi militias, to suppress and slaughter peaceful protesters inside Iran.

The Islamic regime is trying to convince world leaders that these were foreign insigators and terrorists instigating the protests. We all saw the natural progression of the protests. I have been watching video. They were normal people, families, children, elderly...the regime lies so much.

Tehran, Pounak Square - A few nights ago, under an internet blackout, the people still gather in their thousands. This is what courage looks like: reclaiming the streets with joy, light, music, and presence; even as the regime tries to silence and isolate them. Iran is not quiet. Iran is alive.
