The Shah in exile is the only alternative trusted by the majority of the Iranian people.
As an Iranian who has personally experienced torture and brutal repression by this regime, I tell you this truth clearly:
All those individuals whom the regime, over the past years, has sent abroad with the help of internal funding and foreign governments—to act as Trojan horses against the only hope of the people, and to discredit and portray the Crown Prince as unfit through organized propaganda—have absolutely no legitimacy or standing among the Iranian people.
Please do not bet on these dead horses of the Islamic Republic in exile—you will lose.
In this terrifying darkness, where our compatriots are being slaughtered one by one by the most criminal and brutal regime in the world, he has been the only strong and clear voice on the global stage, standing up for his defenseless nation in the face of the shameful and deadly silence of the international community.
May the God of Iran protect him, and all those who stand beside the defenseless people of Iran.

So many of my 9–10 year old students saw the video. Some tried to open it and show me. They didn’t even flinch. To them it was “exciting.” They said it was “so cool” to see a man get shot. My heart broke.
This is NOT normal. This is NOT OK.
On 9/11 of all days a day we teach about hate and its consequences it felt fitting to stop and talk. I got quiet, tears in my eyes, and asked a simple question: What if this was your father? Your mother? Someone YOU loved?
The room went still. Heads dropped. Wheels started turning.
One student whispered, “It isn’t supposed to be this way. God wants us to love each other.” Another asked, “Why did they hate this man so much?” Some asked about his kids… his family. A few even had tears in their eyes.
These are children. They should never have been exposed to such violence, let alone find it thrilling. But in that moment, something shifted. The rest of the day, my class focused on kindness. They comforted each other, shared pencils, helped with their work. The calm was different tinged with sadness, but rooted in compassion. Even if it was just for today, they chose love over hate.
I didn’t know Charlie personally, only followed his videos occasionally, but this still brings me to tears. A life was lost. A father, a husband, a friend.
To those who laugh, mock, or share that video please remember: he has young children, a wife, family, loved ones. If this tragedy happened to you, would you want your children to see your death on repeat? Or would you pray for compassion?
Politics aside this was a life. And every life matters.
I haven’t felt a mix of emotions like this since 9/11; the way he was gruesomely murdered so publicly, in front of thousands and millions more saw it on their phones!! I didn’t agree with Charlie on everything(which was very little imo), but I vehemently endorse what he stood for: open debate/discourae. The attack on Charlie, was attack on American values at its core. When the media uses selective editing, cherry picking clips to be taken out of context (because words like facist and nazi garner more “clicks”, which in turn makes $), no wonder it would unhinge an individual, if not many. The media is wholeheartedly responsible for this “stochastic terrorism”. The amount of emotional trauma that they influenced needs to be held accountable and congress needs to codify this into law. Freedom of spree h is dear, but when it incites violence it needs to be held to account.
