NUFDI Statement on the Execution Spree in
#Iran
"Unless the Biden Administration changes course to stand with the people of Iran and defend America's values and interests... it will bear moral responsibility for its inaction in the face of such state violence."
When the United States appeases the Islamic Republic, it hurts the Iranian people and harms American interests.
Data on executions in Iran, the regime’s military expenditure, oil exports, and nuclear advancement show a clear trend:
Iran’s waterpolo team refusing to sing the Islamic Republic’s anthem.

After this weekend's Freedom Rallies for

Is it a monarchist flag? Is it a Pahlavi flag?
No. It's Iran's flag.
Read this for the history of the flag:
"I prefer to call it the Islamic Republic IN

The Islamic Republic has put “the most journalists to death in the past half-century,” per
@RSF_inter
. This criminal cult has consistently proven that it is a murderous regime—for workers, students, environmentalists, journalists, all Iranians. The world must not be silent.
The Islamic Republic is waging war on the people of
#Iran
. One of its most vicious tools is the noose, which it has used to hold on to power for more than four decades.
Stand up for the brave people of Iran fighting for freedom. Do not be silent.
