To those sitting comfortably outside Iran, in homes still owned by the bank, now thumping their chests and crying “homeland homeland” If the Islamic Republic were truly a homeland, you wouldn’t be in exile. A homeland isn’t where daughters are forced into sex work just to survive or escape. It isn’t where women and men, workers, writers, and poets line up for execution. A homeland is not a place where prison, torture, and rape are written into law. A homeland doesn’t exile its people. A homeland doesn’t assassinate its citizens. A homeland doesn’t use its own people as shields in war, it protects them. The Islamic Republic has never been a homeland. It is a land under occupation, waving a flag soaked in lies. We haven’t had a homeland in years, not I in exile, not you in the hell inside. This is not our war. It is a war the Islamic Republic and its terrorist IRGC have forced upon us. And today even the Arab world stands with the West, united against this rotting monster, a slap in the face of those who spent years trying to paint the Islamic world as inherently anti-Jewish. Now, weaker than ever, the terrorist beast known as the Islamic Republic is collapsing before our eyes, not because of prayers, not because of slogans, not because of lies, but because of the brutal truth of war, the fury of the people, and the resistance rising from the ruins. And the only one to blame for this darkness is the blood-soaked Islamic Republic.
