The young Iranian woman went viral: "We don't want war". Elica Le Bon is a lawyer of British and Iranian origin who often shares her views on social networks, which do not really match the approach of the extreme Islamist regime in the country. Le Bon is now calling for calm and claims that the Iranian people are not interested in escalation. Digital | Published 19:48 15.04.24 | Updated 01:06 16.04.24
In recent hours, a video of a young woman of Iranian origin who does not hesitate to express her opinion has gone viral. Alika Le Bon, a lawyer of British-Iranian descent who currently lives in the United States, has popular accounts on Instagram, where she has 180,000 followers, and on Tiktok, where she currently has 90,000 followers.
In the viral video, as well as in other posts she published on her accounts, Le Bon calls for calming the situation between Israel and Iran and even goes against influencers who "heat" the atmosphere according to her, such as the anti-Semitic tweeter Jackson Hinkle. In the video in question, which is almost 4 minutes long (quite a bit compared to what is common on Instagram and Tiktok), Le Bon expressed a protest against the silence of the world around the protest of the women who were massacred because they did not wear a hijab and came out against those who are trying to degenerate the situation into a regional war.
Le Bon also criticized the fact that many in the West claim that "Iran has the right to defend itself". "What the Iranian Republic is doing is not a reflection of the Iranian people," Le Bon claimed in the viral video. "We were clear about what we wanted - peace."

Le Bon also condemned the militias and proxy forces that Iran is strengthening throughout the region to create instability, including Hezbollah, Hamas and the Houthis, and hinted that those enlightened people who condemn Israel on social media "discovered the Middle East yesterday".
In her words, Le Bon also mentioned the October 7 massacre, and also the missiles that Hezbollah launches on a daily basis into the northern region. "If you had listened to us, you would have known that the Iranians do not want a war with Israel. The people of Iran have said this over and over again. It is you who want a war with Israel, it is your hatred of Israel and the Jews that is dragging us into a war that we did not ask for. Leave us alone, we do not want that."
This is a rare statement, though, it must be remembered that Le Boon does not live on Iranian soil and therefore she allows herself to speak like this freely on social networks. Also, many in the comments praised her words, including one commenter who identified herself as a citizen of Lebanon and wrote: "I don't know how long we have to keep telling the world that the Islamic Republic is not Iran, Hezbollah is not Lebanon. Those who say 'Iran has the right to defend On its own, they also think that Hezbollah, which has killed more Lebanese than Israelis, is a 'resistance'.
Another commenter who identified himself as Syrian, wrote: "Thank you for speaking up for humanity, we love the free Iranian people. Stay strong, stay free, the day will come when we celebrate together."
The viral video has already reached more than 1.2 million views on Tiktok, and on Instagram it has accumulated tens of thousands of likes and comments, which indicates that it has a lot on this platform as well. Also, Le Bon's words were also quoted in media around the world, including in the New York Post.
And Israel didn’t want 300 drones with missiles either. You can’t always get what you want.
Only a fool would want a war. But when you believe your savior will arise out of a well and wipe out your enemies…well, you are a fool.

Thinking the Supreme assclown of Iran didn’t call her for a reason.
They would prefer peace, a more western type of life with iPhones and modern clothes.
Iran was a much different place under the Mohammad Reza Pahlavi. Known and the Shaw of Iran.
The last Monarch of Iran back before the Jimmy Carter Presidency.
Our despicable Left, esp the despicable Femi-nazis (to borrow a phrase which they deserve) do NOTHING to help the abused women in the Islamic world.
What a fool believes…
Sorry sweet cheeks, your mullah has deemed it so.
Yeah we actually got along with him and the country under him, was a freer place.
Obama stoped an Iranian Revolution in 2009.
One thing I noticed in videos showing cheering Iranian crowds supporting the missile strikes is that the crowds were 100% men, and most of them leaned towards the elderly end of the scale. The Iranian government has lost the youth, and either doesn’t let women into their protests or doesn’t have their support either.
Hope she has A LOT of security.
Sadly, the Iranian people - particularly the younger generation - are stuck living under an oppressive theocracy they detest but don’t have the power to remove. That dictatorship may well get a bunch of them killed due to its lunacy and aggression abroad.
Iran has the government their parents and grandparents rioted for back in 1978. Enjoy. I still remember it well, and the hostage situation along with Jimmy Carter’s incompetence.
Of course you don’t Nobody expects the average person to.
It’s the islamic government you’re saddled with.
And of course, Israel doesn’t want war either but they keep getting attacked because islamists won’t leave them alone.
Yes
