In recent days, the Islamic Republic has stepped up its international propaganda. On screens across the world — from CNN to Al Jazeera — their spokesmen sit polished and prepared, quoting international law as if it were scripture.

“Article this, Article that,” they say with rehearsed indignation, condemning Israel’s attacks on IRGC commanders or nuclear sites. Suddenly, the regime that has operated as a rogue state for decades wants to be seen as a lawful victim — a righteous protector of sovereignty.

But let me ask:

Where was your concern for international law when you tortured children for singing freedom songs?

When you executed teenagers for protesting in the streets?

When you blinded young women with pellet guns aimed at their eyes?

When you imprisoned journalists, artists, lawyers, and mothers for speaking their truth?

The hypocrisy is unbearable.

This is a regime that has never respected the dignity or life of its own people. A regime that has turned Iran into a graveyard of dreams and a prison for the living. A regime that weaponizes religion, silences difference, and reduces a once-great nation to international isolation.

Now they dare to speak the language of justice?

You do not get to cite the Geneva Conventions while your prisons are filled with tortured bodies.

You do not get to call for sovereignty while denying your citizens the right to live free.

You do not get to pose as a victim when your crimes stretch across four decades of oppression.

We, the people of Iran — inside and outside the borders — see through every word.

This propaganda may fool diplomats. It may buy time in some international chambers. But it will never change the truth.

Iran is not the Islamic Republic.

Iran is the poets you tried to silence, the mothers you tried to break, the students you tried to erase.

Iran is alive — wounded, scattered, grieving — but alive.

And we are watching.

Stop quoting the law. Start answering to it.
