Last night, like many Iranians in exile or inside the country, I couldn’t sleep. The news of Israel targeting military and nuclear sites in Iran shook me — not because I support war, but because it reveals a horrifying truth that the world still doesn’t fully understand: Iran is not the Islamic Republic.
For 45 years, our country has been taken hostage by a regime of corrupt, fanatical, and uneducated men. These stone-hearted mullahs have enslaved a vibrant nation, silenced artists and thinkers, brutalized women, and destroyed our place in the world. They’ve turned Iran from a center of culture and wisdom into a tool of terror and proxy wars.
And now, once again, their actions bring us to the brink of disaster — a war that could devastate innocent lives.
We, the people of Iran, are not the regime. We don’t support its alliances, its ideology, or its madness. If this regime had not existed, Hamas and Hezbollah would not have the same backing. If this regime were gone, the region might finally breathe.
Khamenei is not a religious leader — he is a cancer. He has metastasized across the Middle East and poisoned everything he’s touched.
What’s worse: this theocracy hasn’t just destroyed lives — it has destroyed faith. It has made generations of Iranians turn away from Islam, even from God, because of the cruelty done in His name. The regime has tainted the very soul of spirituality by using it as a weapon.
As painful as it is to watch what’s unfolding, many Iranians silently — or not so silently — hope this moment becomes a turning point. A final rupture that brings about the fall of this murderous system.
Let the world know: we want our country back.
