No Ceasefire in the Islamic Republic’s War Against Women

For nearly half a century, the Islamic Republic of Iran has attempted to convince the world that it represents justice, morality, and the will of the Iranian people. But behind the propaganda lies a brutal reality that millions of Iranians know all too well. The regime’s systematic oppression of women remains one of the clearest examples of its cruelty and fear. For as little as showing a strand of hair, Iranian women are met with intimidation, imprisonment, torture, or worse.

Today, the world is once again witnessing the Islamic Republic’s relentless assault on the dignity and freedom of women.

Recently, reports emerged from Armenia that customs officials intercepted 143 bundles of natural hair weighing approximately 26 kilograms at the Agarak border crossing with Iran. The “best” case is that the hair belonged to impoverished Iranian women selling their hair simply to survive in an economy devastated by corruption, sanctions, and government mismanagement.

I read that men in Northern Ireland are taking a page from the Muslim Rape gangs and harassing Islamic women, ripping off hijabs and those dumb head coverings on the streets. Saw a few YouTubes before they got removed. Priceless seeing these demons shriek. Good!<p) I interviewed one over a Zoom call Friday...nope, some Paki PM who had a good resume and quality references, but was a mumbling idiot in the interview with basically a burka on her head... sucks to be you, Paveeta.

But don’t you want Iran sent “back to the stone age.” So is the argument that these women will be better off...not living at all?
