The United Kingdom has endlessly appeased the criminal regime in Iran. The Prime Minister speaks of protecting the innocent civilians of Iran but failed to act to help stop the regime’s massacre of 40,000 innocent Iranians in January.
Only an end to this regime - that brings terror to Britain’s own shores - will yield lasting peace and regional stability. Keir Starmer should follow in the footsteps of Churchill, not Chamberlain. He should support the Iranian people’s fight for liberty.
The Iranian people will remember who stood with them in their hour of need and who stood against them. There is still time for the Government to change course: prosecute the IRGC that slaughters innocents, expel the illegitimate regime's ambassador, and act to support the people of Iran.
The two-week ceasefire between the United States and Iran today is welcomed by the UK and our allies.
The goal now must be a lasting end to the war.
Alongside our international partners, the UK will work to ensure a return to freedom of navigation in the Strait of Hormuz.
ALT Joint statement from the leaders of France, Italy, Germany, Canada, Denmark, Netherlands, Spain, the European Commission, the European Council and Japan. We welcome the two-week ceasefire concluded between the United States and Iran today. We thank Pakistan and all partners involved for facilitating this important agreement. The goal must now be to negotiate a swift and lasting end to the war within the coming days. This can only be achieved through diplomatic means. We strongly encourage quick progress towards a substantive negotiated settlement. This will be crucial to protect the civilian population of Iran and ensure security in the region. It can avert a severe global energy crisis. We support these diplomatic efforts. To this end, we are in close contact with the United States and other partners. We call upon all sides to implement the ceasefire, including in Lebanon. Our Governments will contribute to ensuring freedom of navigation in the Strait of Hormuz.

Sharif University of Technology is not just Iran’s top engineering school. It is a talent pipeline for missile, cyber, and dual-use military programs tied to the regime and IRGC. That is why the US government sanctioned it. sanctionssearch.ofac.treas.g… federalregister.gov/document…
Sharif University of Technology (founded as Arya Mehr University in 1966) is an icon of modernization and progress in Iran. Its alumni include the first woman to win the Field Medal in Mathematics, Maryam Mirzakhani. It has been a national symbol of achievement, gaining international recognition for the quality of its graduates, large number who have been admitted into the very best engineering programs in the West. The aim of this kind of wonton destruction could only be the nation of Iran itself.

Shoutout to my co-author @Pouriaaa for our @newsweek piece titled, "Anything Short of Regime Change in Iran Would Be a Failure", and mentioned in the interview. newsweek.com/anything-short-…

Talk therapy is not going to fix the world's Iran problem.
The regime is brain-dead, and its agents are acting on muscle memory:
- Seeking de-escalation through escalation,
- and buying time through pointless diplomacy.

«ایالات متحده با تروریستها مذاکره نمیکند»
👆یک شعار کلیشهای که آنقدر تکرار شده که به یک واکنش شرطی تبدیل شده است،از تریبونهای ریاست جمهوری تا کف سنای آمریکا و فیلمنامههای هالیوود! اما ارزشش را دارد که بپرسیم آیا هنوز هم این اصل اعمال میشود یا نه.
شخصیت مرکزی که اکنون در ارتباط با یک توافق مذاکرهشده با ایران مورد بحث قرار گرفته، محمدباقر قالیباف است فرمانده سابق نیروی هوایی سپاه پاسداران انقلاب اسلامی که توسط آمریکا به عنوان تروریست designation و تحریم شده #IRGCTerrorist ، مردی که سه دهه در ماشین سرکوب و بدترین جنایات جمهوری اسلامی غوطهور بوده است. اگر قالیباف پشت میز مذاکره بنشیند، ایالات متحده دیگر در حال امتناع از مذاکره با تروریستها نیست! بلکه دارد آنها را مشروعیت میبخشد و به آن میگوید دیپلماسی!
این رویکرد به تهران سیگنال میدهد که سرپیچی پاداش دارد!
به دیگرانی که نظارهگرند، نشان میدهد که خطوط قرمز آمریکا قابل مذاکره است.
با مرگ آیتالله و لاریجانی، رژیم ایران حالا یک سیستم بیسر (بی مغز یا در حالت مرگ مغزی) است که با حافظه عضلانی بازماندگانش (ته مانده هایش) قالیباف، اژهای و احمد وحیدی ادامه مییابد.
در ژانویه ۲۰۲۶، این ماشین برای کشتار بیش از ۳۰ هزار ایرانی غیرمسلح در دو روز استفاده شد. اژهای به قضاتش دستور داد «قاطع و حداکثری» عمل کنند و «هیچ اغماضی» نداشته باشند.
حالا دقیقاً با همین معماران یک #IranMassacre در حال تعامل هستیم. نه با یک دولت، بلکه با طراحان یک قتلعام. هر کدام نقش مشخصی دارند. قالیباف، به عنوان اپراتور آن سیستم، از فرماندهی سپاه به ریاست مجلس رفته و شبکههایی ساخته که رژیم را سرپا نگه داشته.
قالیباف، اژهای و وحیدی راهحل نیستند. آنها خود مشکلاند.
هر چیزی کمتر از تغییر رژیم، نه یک دستاورد دیپلماتیک، بلکه تسلیم در برابر همان تروریسمی است که آمریکا دههها با آن جنگیده.

Iran regime is brain dead and acting on mussel memory.
With zero creative thinking, it has again resorted to Deescalation Through Escalation.
The solution? NOT talk therapy but Absolute annihilation or Total surrender, @Pouriaaa and I argue in @Newsweek.

Trump: “We're dealing with the top person in Iran, the most respected by the people.”
Ghalibaf couldn't be LESS respected. He ran for the presidency 4 times, losing all.
In 2024 presidential elections he ran against Pezeshkian, and lost, receiving only 14% of votes 🤡

This war has done a great job of exposing certain British journalists.
They parachute into Tehran, not for truth, but for a quick headline and a shiny line on their CV about reporting from a war zone.
They just hand over the stage, letting officials repackage the same old lies.

🔴The arson attack on the Jewish community in London has been claimed by an IRGC linked group
IRGC is legal in the UK, regime bigwigs have expensive houses in London and use the UK for healthcare
Meanwhile the IRGC have missiles that can reach London
What are we doing !!! 🇬🇧

Can you believe this? An entire nation of 90 million Iranians is being held hostage by the mullahs. This must stop. ✋

Message from Iran: “For the God’s sake do not stop. Hit the regime in whatever way you can. They will butcher us if the regime survives.”
Iranians are not scared of war.
They are only scared of the regime surviving.

Message received from inside Iran:
“Our fear and despair is that they will leave us alone with these people (mullahs’ regime) and a country devastated by war.”

When it comes to Iran, as far as I’m concerned, it’s black and white.
You’re either for the people or you’re for the regime.
No ands, ifs or buts about it.
