To be clear, the protestors in Iran are not just demonstrating for their government to respect their dignity and human rights. They are saying “death to the dictator,” and “death to the Islamic Republic.” They don’t want reforms. They want an end to theocracy. Plain and simple.

I urge the media to invite Iranian activists & scholars to speak on what’s happening in Iran. It’s hugely problematic to deny the Iranian people their agency with US-centric world views. No protest slogans in the past 6wks have mentioned the U.S. Only anti-Islamic Republic chants

Iranians are such passionate, joyful people but for 43 years the Islamic Republic has only shown a dark side to the world.

Never thought I’d see protests like this in Dezful. Conservative town, where my family originally came from before moving to Tehran. It’s a world away from Tehran. Just shows how widespread #IranProtests are that one of biggest protests last night was in Dezful. #IranRevoIution

1. Absolutely disgusting that went to MEK in Albania...most likely for a speaking fee.
Anyone who visits MEK and normalizes its leader Maryam Rajavi is no friend to the Iranian people.
MEK is a totalitarian cult that physically and psychologically abuses members.

Many of the people in this crowd have had the Islamic Republic violate their rights and exile them from their homeland.
It is important that governments around the world understand that they need to recalibrate their policies to support the people of Iran, not this government.
