The Iranian Revolution
UPDATE: The civil protests in Iran have been raging for months. Iran is now publicly hanging protesters to silence opposition.
Mohsen Shekari was executed by hanging last week for the crime of “waging war against god,” according to the Iranian state media. But the hanging is not stopping opposition to the regime.
Public anger at the ayatollahs is boiling over inside Iran ... But instead of standing with the Iranian people, Joe Biden is propping up Iran’s cruel tyrants, offering them a nuclear deal to legitimize and entrench the regime while enriching it with billions.
Biden is ready to give a windfall to the Islamic Republic—riches it will use to crush domestic resistance and target Israel for annihilation. We MUST stop him.
Please, take a moment right now to sign our petition and fax the Senate demanding they STOP the IRAN DEAL. Then read on for the news. —Mat
The fury inside Iran detonated after the regime's morality police snatched 22-year-old Mahsa Amini off the streets of Tehran. Witnesses watched these Islamist thugs shove her into a van where they beat her and took her away.
Three days later she was dead. A blow to the back of her head brought death, says a prominent Iranian attorney.
Her “crime”? Her headscarf—which the ayatollahs force women in Iran to wear—was ill-fitted. It showed some of her hair.
“You killed her for two strands of hair!” her father lashed out when mullahs tried to perform last rites for Mahsa. “Take your Islam and go!” cursed the embittered father.
A firestorm of protests erupted in Tehran and across Iran ... and have now gone on for weeks. Women take off their headscarves in public—a crime punishable by lashing and jail. Crowds chant “Death to the dictator!”
But the dictator—Ayatollah Ali Khamenei—has ordered a brutal crackdown. His forces have killed at least 154 protesters with live bullets, metal pellets and tear gas. Some 1,200 people have been swept off the streets and thrown into jail.
And Biden? While protesters have filled the streets across Iran in some 80 cities, Joe is almost silent.
Yes, he has offered a few words of sympathy and sanctioned some Iranian officials. But he is STILL standing, hat in hand, waiting for the criminal gang ruling Iran to say “yes” to a renewed nuclear deal. And that outrages many Iranians. An Iranian human rights advocate fumed at Biden for offering a sweet deal to Mahsa’s killers:
“I have a simple question: How come, at the same time, you’re going to negotiate with the murderers?”
“It means you’re giving billions of dollars to those who killed Mahsa. I don’t get this contradiction.”
Please, fax the Senate and demand they put a stop to Joe Biden’s insane deal before it destroys the entire Middle East. Demand the Senate STAND WITH ISRAEL and STOP THE IRAN DEAL.
As you do, please also prayerfully consider making a recurring monthly donation to support our mission on Capitol Hill and around the world defending Israel. We cannot do this important work without you! Please, give generously today.
