Iโve decided to step back from the news and online comments โ not out of indifference, but because itโs becoming unbearable. The noise, the ignorance, the selective outrage โ itโs too much. Still, I cannot stay silent.
Chancellor Merz recently expressed support for regime change in Iran โ and he is absolutely right. No one in the West should obstruct the Iranian peopleโs path to liberation. This is not 1979. We are not the same nation that was deceived by hollow promises and clerical propaganda. After 45 years of brutality, oppression, and betrayal, Iranians have earned the right to determine their own future โ free from foreign interference and foreign appeasement.
What angers me deeply is watching powerful Western figures, like French President Emmanuel Macron, continue to support and legitimize the Islamic Republic โ not for the sake of peace or democracy, but for Franceโs own economic and geopolitical interests. Letโs not pretend: the motivation is oil, contracts, influence โ not human rights. Macron and others cloak their diplomacy in the language of dialogue while turning a blind eye to the regimeโs crimes: mass executions, the murder of protesters, the silencing of journalists, the poisoning of schoolgirls. This is not neutrality. This is complicity.
And then thereโs the loud, confused noise from far-left activists across Europe and the U.S. โ those who have suddenly rediscovered their anti-war voices now that Iranโs military infrastructure is being targeted. Where were these voices when the Islamic Republic crushed peaceful protests? Where was their outrage when women were being killed for refusing to wear the hijab? When hundreds of young people were executed after the Mahsa Amini uprising?
Now, as Israel strikes military and nuclear sites, these protesters are taking to the streets โ not in support of the oppressed, but to defend the very regime that has turned Iran into a regional threat and a prison for its own people. They fail to understand that what is being targeted is not โIranโ โ it is a cancerous, metastasized apparatus of power that has hijacked our country for decades. This is not war against a nation โ this is, at best, a confrontation with its captors.
We Iranians are not cheering for war. We are crying out for release. We are not asking for bombs โ we are asking for the world to stop giving this regime the oxygen it needs to survive. Stop reviving it with sanctions relief. Stop inviting its officials to global forums. Stop pretending that reform is possible inside a structure built on execution and terror.
We are ready for change. Donโt stand in our way.
