Why is Iran's current regime dangerous for not only Iranians but the world (why you should care and be our voice)

Someone in Iran made an interesting argument about how Iranian politicians don't know or don't respect political ethics in international affairs and it got me thinking... As you know the united nations conference was just held in New York where all UN leaders were invited, including our current president, Ebrahim Raisi. Even though he has a criminal record due to his involvement in the mass murder in 1988 (He was one of the four people on the prosecution committee that sentenced thousands of people to death, among them innocent men and women: link) he still got a safe pass (I am critical of this, I'd be very happy if he got captured there but the message here is that they promised him a safe pass and they held up their end of it).

But If the role was reversed and if it was say Biden who had to travel to Iran there would be no safe travel for him. Islamic republic plays dirtier than western politicians. Lying and deceiving is how they kept ruling Iran for such a long time.

A western politician wouldn't be safe in Iran and they know it. Hell, a western citizen won't be safe in Iran and by that, I don't mean "they don't like American tourists and they will give them a hard time". What I mean is that the Islamic republic has been kidnapping, jailing, and torturing western tourists and holding them for ransom for a long time now. Here's the list of all those poor souls who came to visit Iran but ended up going through the worst trauma of their lives: link.

The Islamic republic also has a history of direct terroristic operations in other countries. And let's not talk about their known support for some terroristic organizations. This is beyond my point but I thought I add this as an honorary mention: link.

So next time you or someone you know though Iran's situation is not my business, consider these facts.

P. S. As I was writing this I realized the side stories I used to support my point were more horrifying than the actual point. So you must check those links for this post to be fully understood. Spread the word.

People outside of iran are asking how they can help. I can suggest these options:

Be our voice, spread our stories. It's important to share what's happening in Iran as much as you can. The more people hear about it, the harder it gets for governments to deny it. Acknowledgment can be a tool here.

Have peaceful gatherings and protests in front of Iran embassy in your country of residence if possible. Obviously I don't want anyone to get in trouble but if you live in a country that allows freedom of speech and peaceful protests, do it. The sense of solidarity alone helps our courage.

Demand your government to un-recognize our government as legit. We do not know Islamic republic of Iran as our representative government, we wish other countries to stop shaking hands and welcoming Islamic republic politicians in international affairs. Iran's current government is not recognized by majority of people and it shouldn't be by other nations. You can demand this by just tweeting and posting about it.

Thank you in advance for any help you're able to do. We appreciate it.

minors that have been killed by regime forces in the past few days:

Amir Fuladi, 15

Mahsa Moogouei, 18

Pedram Azarnoush, 16

Zakariya Khiyal, 16

Abduallah Mohammadpour, 16

Siavash Mahmoudi, 16

Amin Ma'roufi, 16

Parsa Rezadoost, 18

I'm speechless, I don't know what to do or say. my heart hurts so much. it feels like they're killing my family. it's not right to stay silent, it's not right to watch them kill us one by one. they should've been alive, they should've been worrying about school and exams and their high school crushes. but now they're gone and there's nothing I can do about it. they killed Nikita Esfandani and Pejman Qolipour three years ago and no one cared, I thought it would be the last time that they kill young innocent people. I hope this is the last time. they took away me and my people's freedom and liberty and there is one thing left, hope.

How can something be there, and then not be there? How do we forgive ourselves for all the things we did not become?

14 Lines from Love Letters or Suicide Notes

[solsburryhill]

cant sleep too busy thinking about “love is awful. it’s awful. it’s painful. it’s frightening. it makes you doubt yourself, judge yourself, distance yourself from the other people in your life. it makes you selfish. it makes you creepy, makes you obsessed with your hair, makes you cruel, makes you say and do things you never thought you would do. it’s all any of us want, and it’s hell when we get there. so no wonder it’s something we don’t want to do on our own. i was taught if we’re born with love then life is about choosing the right place to put it. people talk about that a lot, feeling right, when it feels right it’s easy. but i’m not sure that’s true. it takes strength to know what’s right. and love isn’t something that weak people do. being a romantic takes a hell of a lot of hope. i think what they mean is, when you find somebody that you love, it feels like hope.”

“Have you ever been in love? Horrible isn’t it? It makes you so vulnerable. It opens your chest and it opens up your heart and it means that someone can get inside you and mess you up.”

I'm clueless. I don't know my demon, my angels, the flowers that bloom inside me; I am not aware of what I have become or what I was.
