A young Iranian who barely made it across the border into Turkey has delivered a gut-wrenching eyewitness account that's sending shockwaves worldwide.
He says the outside world has no real grasp of the horror unfolding inside Iran right now.
This isn't about arrests.
This isn't about beatings.
This is about deliberate killingscold, calculated executions on the streets.
Protesters are being shot straight in the chest, point-blank.
No warning shots.
No stray bullets.
No accidents.
Over and over again, with lethal intent. The death tolls trickling out online? According to him, they're nowhere near the truth.
The real numbers are far higherbodies vanish into mass graves, hospitals are raided to finish off the wounded, and corpses are stacked and hidden to erase the evidence.
Families are terrified into silence.
They beg for their loved ones' remains, sometimes forced to pay for the very bullets that killed them, then warned never to speak.
Fear seals every mouth. Inside Iran, people can't cry out without risking the same fate.
Outside, the world sees only fragmentsfiltered, delayed, minimized.
That enforced silence is the regime's most powerful weapon right now.
It lets the killing continue unchecked while the rest of the planet looks away.
The refugee's plea cuts through it: the scale of this bloodshed is being buried alive.
And until the world forces its eyes open, the true carnage stays hidden in the shadows...
The Ayatollah's barbarians are the reason Commander in Chief Trump must blast them back to the Stone Age..

This makes me feel a lot better about Vance and Bessent. Tulsi has NEVER been a fan of forever wars on the other side of the world. Would not be surprised to see her step down in the coming weeks.
LOL I wouldn't put much stock in his comments. A Director of CounterTerrorism in a civilian agency has no need to know be involved in oversight of a military operation. Guarantee you he was not at the WH the night the bombing started.
Listened to Joe Kent's interview with Tucker Carlson the other day. The guy is very well spoken and did not diss Trump, although he had the right to. Class act. Trump has unleashed the hounds of Hell on him for not toeing the company line. Hannity, Fox News, and the DOJ. Hilarious that Trump claims to want to eliminate the weaponization of the justice system. He may be the worst offender before all is said and done.
Gavin Newsome is well-spoken, too. It's the substance that matters.
Kent has gone so far down the isolationism rabbit hole that he's now blaming Israel for all of our foreign policy problems, literally excusing the actions of an Iranian regime which has killed more Americans than any other while consistently pursuing nuclear weapons and intercontinental ballistic missiles.
Iran has admitted to having enough 60% uranium to produce 11 nuclear weapons. If true, that would put them weeks/months away from nuclear capability. (the speed of enrichment process, as a matter of physics, accelerates over time.) They have demonstrated via use this week to have long-range ballistic weapons proven capable of reaching out 4000km. The next leap is intercontinental ballistic missiles capable of striking us.
And of course, we have INDICTED two individuals involved in an assassination plot against Trump. Sorry. You try to kill a former US president running for re-election......you deserve to get your country turned into a parking lot guarded by the US military. Of course, that is hard work. But never fear, there will always be someone who seeks to avoid doing the job by insisting Israel is responsible for all of our foreign policy problems. Blaming Israel makes all foreign policy problems so very simple. Just cut $3b in aid to Israel. Let the Arabs overrun the country and send the Jews all into exile somewhere. And....voila.....the birds sing and the rainbow gleams while the whole world sings in perfect harmony the chords of a just and lasting peace. Selah, selah...as the rastas would say
Isolationism first & foremost is intellectual laziness....an attempt to define away problems rather than dealing with them.
Anti-semitism is the same thing with a little touch of genocide mixed in for effect.
With all due respect, it is Trump that has isolated himself and our country from the rest of the Western world. He looks up, and suddenly we have no friends. I do believe that Israel has more power and influence over the United States. I'm just not sure why the little country of 10 million people is able to dictate the foreign policy of the United States. Not sure why we can't seem to any longer tell Israel NO. Something has changed. Not sure what.
Again "it's the Jews" nonsense. Complete reversal of cause/effect.
It is in our interest for Iran to NOT have nuclear weapons.
It is in our interest for Iran to NOT have ballistic missiles.
It is in our interest for Iran to NOT run terror proxies that kill our citizen.
(I could go on with that list for a while.)
That Israel also has those same interests does not mean that Israel has hornswoggled us. It means we have common interests ergo are close allies. To prove that our, all you have to do is remove Israel from the ndp and run the permutations again. If you do that, nothing changes. The list above is still the list.
Isolationism is intellectual laziness of the highest order. Antisemitism just adds a negative moral factor to it.
Is it in our interests not to be the proxy?
This war has turned everything you said about Ukraine (which I agreed) on its head. We are the proxy. We are the one using resources. We are the ones escalating to boots on the ground for others. We do not receive enough resources from this area to take this type of hit.
LOL pull your head out. We are the sponsor. We pay Israel to be our proxy. And more than any other ally we have, they deliver. They've done half the strikes in Iran. Not since WWIi have we had an all-in partner like that.
Unless the mullah regime survives (unlikely), we will have Iran as a new ally. That gives us the ability to interdict Chinese oil supplies without firing a shot. Without weighing a single anchor. Via "diplomacy."
You know all that. Why the troll nonsense?
LOL

A young Iranian who barely made it across the border into Turkey has delivered a gut-wrenching eyewitness account that's sending shockwaves worldwide.
He says the outside world has no real grasp of the horror unfolding inside Iran right now.
This isn't about arrests.
This isn't about beatings.
This is about deliberate killingscold, calculated executions on the streets.
Protesters are being shot straight in the chest, point-blank.
No warning shots.
No stray bullets.
No accidents.
Over and over again, with lethal intent. The death tolls trickling out online? According to him, they're nowhere near the truth.
The real numbers are far higherbodies vanish into mass graves, hospitals are raided to finish off the wounded, and corpses are stacked and hidden to erase the evidence.
Families are terrified into silence.
They beg for their loved ones' remains, sometimes forced to pay for the very bullets that killed them, then warned never to speak.
Fear seals every mouth. Inside Iran, people can't cry out without risking the same fate.
Outside, the world sees only fragmentsfiltered, delayed, minimized.
That enforced silence is the regime's most powerful weapon right now.
It lets the killing continue unchecked while the rest of the planet looks away.
The refugee's plea cuts through it: the scale of this bloodshed is being buried alive.
And until the world forces its eyes open, the true carnage stays hidden in the shadows...
The Ayatollah's barbarians are the reason Commander in Chief Trump must blast them back to the Stone Age..

Those who want Trump to failโฆ..are going to ignore news such as this.
Total BS. Trump has gotten us into an unnecessary war that we don't need and certainly can't afford. Yeah, Trump's doing great stuff getting people slaughtered all over these places. You good with indesciminate killing of ours and others. I don't want him to fail. I've changed my tune. I want him to keep up the Disaster. Screw the country. I just gonna laugh all the way to the bank as Piggy does. Keep on Donnie! $$$$
The mullah's have been executing their own citizens for many years.
Which is why so many Iranians living overseas support Trumps actions.
Glad you are making money off all this.
Maybe the additional funds will bring you happiness.
Happiness but not joy. And, the happiness will be fleeting.
Suspect most folks lead lives of quiet desperation.
But money sure helps to take the edge off.

Thats not news, it's a fluff piece written by a Trump supporter. It could be true but nobody knows. "One guy said, we swear!" is not real journalism.
Senator Cruz revealed that he โurgedโ President Trump to attack Iran instead of negotiating further.

Cruz told Trump that the regime had never been โweakerโ and that the right time to strike had arrived.
