2.5 years on from this tweet below another reminder that “real Iranians” will always choose joy over hatred, terrorism, human rights violations, systematic suppression, floggings, amputations, executions, radical Islam and death worship. (Music: Diar by Shahram Shabpareh) ⬇️

On behalf of their client, Zara Sultana, Bindmans Media and Information Law Practise Group requires that I publish the following statement on X, and that such statement must be clearly visible and pinned to my
profile for a continuous period of no less than 24 hours:
“On 30 March 2026, I published a post on my X account addressed to Zarah Sultana in which I stated that she encourages and incites violence and is friends with terrorists.
Those statements are false. I was wrong and offer my sincere apologies to Ms Sultana for the harm and distress caused to her.”
It is my very great pleasure to do this, and I reiterate my sincere and repeated offer to meet with Miss Zara Sultana in person to resolve our differences.

The Iranian women’s national football team refused to sing the anthem of the Islamic Regime. Tonight. At the opening match of the Asian Cup. In front of the entire world.
So, to all liberal Western women:
Watch and learn.
THIS is what real feminism looks like.

Message from Tehran:
“President Trump, the people of Iran are trying to save the world from a terrorist regime with their bare hands. Please help.”

Nothing on @BBCNews about #IranMassacre - not one article.
If I’m being kind it might be because the general population of Britain can’t quite believe there is now overwhelming evidence that so called “security forces” in another country are exterminating their citizens by the thousands mostly shooting them in the head at point blank range for peaceful protest when in Britain you can’t get the police to come out if you’ve had your car stolen.

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!

There was so much talk about the protests in Iran – but they drowned in blood. The world has not helped enough the Iranian people, it has stood aside.
What will Iran become after this bloodshed? If the regime survives, it sends a clear signal to every bully – kill enough people, and you stay in power.
Don’t lecture us on what we need. If you were being beaten by an abusive partner, would you want your family, neighbours and friends just to stand by? We are facing brutality that you cannot even imagine from the comfort of your warm office with high speed internet!
The images of body bags leave no doubt about the brutality of Iran’s repression, and a communications blackout is indefensible.
Across the country, Iranians are protesting real economic hardship, much of it deepened by US sanctions. From the UK, genuine solidarity means opposing those sanctions and the imperial strategies and aspirations behind them.
At the same time, this unrest is being cynically exploited by Netanyahu’s genocidal government as a pretext for military intervention and regime change — a path that must be firmly rejected.
It must be clear: only the Iranian people have the right to decide their own future. No outside power should dictate or interfere.
Any serious politics requires holding all of these truths together.
