“But,” a journalist at a major news agency told me, “European diplomats say it’s good for the UN Human Rights Council to be a big tent, allowing countries like China, Russia and Venezuela to join, learn and improve.”

No. The big tent theory is a big lie. I said so at the UNHRC: pic.twitter.com/LuMBCWEazs

Campaign Against Islamic Regime in Iran

In July 2022, a gunman hired by the Ayatollah’s regime in Iran came to Brooklyn to try and murder my friend Masih Alinejad because she created the successful mass movement to fight their compulsory hijab law. Now the US has announced another arrest. /1https://t.co/I4kcoj3i3z pic.twitter.com/8kmQcZoLtw

BREAKING: 9 minutes ago, for the first time since the Sept. 16 death of Mahsa Amini, @UN_Iran posted a tweet. About an earthquake. They went silent for 134 days during mass protests for freedom, never saying a word for hundreds of protesters killed and injured or 18,000 detained. https://t.co/p8BYFqDsvX pic.twitter.com/JSKtZHbTRi

The UN is hiring for its fact-finding mission on Iran. We need people to apply who aren’t NIAC! They need a mission coordinator who knows Persian, Persian-English interpreters, Information Management Officers, Human Rights & Political Officers, Assistants:https://t.co/j52JBvzJJf pic.twitter.com/bxps7MxRHk

If you think about it, the Islamic regime in Iran is no less murderous and fanatical than ISIS — but they are treated like a legitimate state because they have diplomats who smile and lie to the world, and useful idiots in the West who go along. List IRGC as a terrorist entity.

.@elonmusk As the new owner of Twitter, I urge you to remove all of the accounts of the Islamic Republic of Iran, including @khamenei_ir, @Iran_GOV & @Amirabdolahian on the grounds that they are part of a terrorist regime that is no less fanatical and murderous than ISIS.
