Don't Look Away.
50000+ Iranians have been massacred and your attention and voice can save lives
#IranMassacre‌
#R2PforIran‌
I'm Iranian, and I cannot stay silent while my people are being killed in Iran.
I already recorded a previous long video (about 60 minutes) reviewing the footage coming out of Iran — videos of people being shot, massacred, and disappeared by the Islamic Republic regime, its forces, and the IRGC. This video continues from where that one left off, covering updates from around January 18 and onward.
At the time of my last recording, multiple sources and on-the-ground reports pointed to a death toll around 12,000. The numbers now appear far higher. Anyone who has lived under this regime understands that official numbers never match reality, and that the scale of what’s happening is being hidden from the world — especially from people in the West. That’s why I’m speaking in English.
This video includes disturbing material. It contains graphic and upsetting footage: direct gunfire at protesters, snipers positioned on rooftops, wounded people being attacked, bodies being carried away, morgues overflowing, and evidence of the regime trying to erase what’s happening by cutting internet access and suppressing information.
There is also growing evidence that the regime may have modified tear gas or used chemical agents, but forensic data is difficult to obtain because the Islamic Republic blocks investigation and aggressively suppresses anything that could document the truth.
I also speak from firsthand experience. In 2022, I was detained by IRGC/security forces for protesting. I spent months under interrogation. I witnessed the brutality of the system directly, including forced confessions and the way detainees are beaten and coerced in staged “studio” setups inside prisons. I’m not speaking from theory.
The regime’s tactics are clear in this footage:
* Internet blackouts to prevent documentation
* Live ammunition and military-grade weapons used against unarmed people
* Threats, forced confessions, intimidation campaigns on national television
* Targeting wounded protesters, even inside hospitals
* Stealing bodies, mass burials, and denying families information
* Narrative manipulation and attempts to frame destruction on protesters
Iranian people are unarmed. The regime has an organized armed structure with large numbers of forces, weapons, and logistics. This is not a normal “riot response.” This is war being waged on civilians.
If you want to help, share this video and spread the word. The Islamic Republic depends on silence, confusion, and the outside world looking away.

For those who cannot believe the 12,000 number for #IranMassacre, I can only say that it is probably much higher. And the number will grow even mor...
