As Iranians risk everything to fight for freedom, there are growing reports that the international community may once again negotiate with the very regime killing indefensible women and children on the streets.
History warns us what follows. When this regime negotiates while retaining full control at home, talks are often followed by mass arrests, secret trials, and executions once the world’s attention fades.
Today, the danger is even greater. The internet is shut down. The true death toll is hidden. Unofficial reports suggest the violence we can see is only a fraction of what is happening — and what may come next.
Negotiating now sends a deadly signal:
that repression works,
that lives are negotiable,
that freedom can wait.
Standing with the Iranian people means refusing to legitimize a regime that survives by killing its own citizens.
When the regime silences Iran and the world stays quiet to the killing, it falls on us to be their voice.
