The monstrous irony here (that #Trump would never understand) is that if you want *any* #Iranians to survive this revolution to overthrow the #IslamicTheocratic #Dictatorship, it would exactly be educated young girls
And yet, here we are...

"At the center of #Hamadan, #Iran, one of the oldest continually inhabited cities in the world, stands the holiest site for #Jews in Iran: a small brick mausoleum traditionally believed to hold the #tombs of #Esther and #Mordechai.
For at least the past 15 years, the #tomb has become a flashpoint for protest reacting to #Iranian regime–propagated narratives that frame the #Book of Esther not as a tale of #Jewish survival, but as a genocide of 75,000 #Iranians perpetrated by the Jews. Each year on #Purim, #protesters gather outside the mausoleum. At times, they have thrown #Molotovcocktails at the building or burned #Israeli flags.
Iranian Jewish leaders have responded with carefully worded appeals to the Interior Ministry, emphasizing their loyalty to the state and asking that protests not be held at the sacred site."

#IRANIANS CELEBRATE ASSASSINATION: Following the death of Ali #Khamenei, large crowds across Iran took to the streets to celebrate with fireworks, dancing, clapping and chants of “freedom”. https://www.nytimes.com/2026/02/28/world/middleeast/iran-khameni-celebrations.html
But that may well be a source of comfort for its clientele – many of whom are paranoid after fleeing an #authoritarian surveillance #state.
#Iran
#Tehran is just as real and important of a #city as #Paris or #Washington.
#Khameini is just as #human and #legitimate of a #WorldLeader as #Trump or #Macron.
#Iranians are #people just as much as #Americans or #French.
An #attack on #Iran is just as bad as an attack on the #USA or #France.
