Iran's Lion and the Sun Will End Sunni Tyranny
While the West Surrenders to Islam, Iran Is Fighting to Break Free From It- Geller Reports
”The Islamic Republic is not simply another authoritarian government. For decades, it has exported terrorism, destabilized the region, violated the human rights of its own citizens, and challenged international security … In January 2026 … millions of Iranians answered the call of Crown Prince Reza Pahlavi …The Islamic Republic of Iran responded with extraordinary violence… widespread killings, attacks on medical facilities, arrests and an ongoing campaign of executions against perceived opponents.” [Geller Reports]
“Yet what deeply disappointed many Iranians… the lack of… support from much of the democratic world for their struggle.” ” [@Anahit322175]

“Under the last Shah of Iran, Mohammad Reza Pahlavi, people had wide cultural and personal freedoms …… The Shah’s crucial decade from 1965 to 1975 when citizens enjoyed secular lifestyles, and women made big gains.”

”Iran is not the land of clerics and fanaticism. It is the land of Zarathustra, the legacy of Cyrus the Great – a civilization built on dignity, wisdom, and leadership long before desert chaos swept in from Arabia.”
