The assistance that the President of the United States had promised to the brave people of Iran has now arrived. This is a humanitarian intervention, and its target is the Islamic Republic, its apparatus of repression, and its machinery of killing—not the country and great nation of Iran.
However, despite the arrival of this assistance, the final victory will still be achieved by us. It is we, the people of Iran, who will finish this task in this final battle. The time to return to the streets is approaching.
Now that the Islamic Republic is collapsing, my message to the country’s military, law enforcement, and security forces is clear:
You have sworn an oath to protect Iran and the Iranian nation, not the Islamic Republic and its leaders. Your duty is to defend the people, not to defend a regime that has taken our homeland hostage through repression and crime. Join the nation and help ensure a stable and secure transition. Otherwise, you will sink with Khamenei’s ship and his crumbling regime.
And my message to the President of the United States, President Trump, is this:
The honorable people of Iran, despite the brutal repression and killings carried out by this regime, stood bravely for nearly two months. I now ask you to exercise the utmost possible caution to preserve the lives of civilians and my compatriots. The people of Iran are your natural allies and the allies of the free world, and they will not forget your assistance during the most difficult period of Iran’s contemporary history.
And to you, my dear compatriots in Iran:
In these sensitive hours and days, more than ever we must remain focused on our ultimate goal: reclaiming Iran.
I ask you, for now, to remain in your homes and remain calm and safe. Stay alert and ready to return to the streets for the final action at the appropriate time, which I will communicate to you.
Follow my messages through social media and satellite media. If disruptions occur in the internet and satellite broadcasts, I will remain in contact with you via radio.
We are very close to final victory. I hope to be with you as soon as possible so that together we may reclaim Iran and rebuild it.

While researching WIKI for bias which we have known all along, some may want to fact check fact checker… no they are not unbiased as so many on the left maintain! Funny how that works eh?
I am so sorry for people who have lived their whole lives in regimes that are so oppressive. Some who live in a succession of these regimes and must live on a razor’s edge to survive. I pray Iran will become freer, so that they can live according to the dictates of their consciences and seek the one true God. Don’t we all want that?
I am sorry for those who suffer because of the few, whether from bomb strikes or whatever. Sin always affects others than the sinner.
Regime change? And that ended really well the last couple of times. I believe the Bush admin said Iraq would be a beacon of democracy, and they had grand ideas about Afghanistan too
Bring back the Shah? I’m old enough to know what happened the last time the US did that. Not a family I would trust to bring any type of freedom or democracy. It’s rather amusing to see the Trump admin supporting an absolutist monarchy while an opposition group calls itself No Kings.
The US really doesn’t have a strategic interest in Iran. Iran is a regional power versus Saudi Arabia and Israel. It’s those two states that benefit from any change in Iran and any diminishing of Iranian power. So why is the US doing the bidding of Israel or Saudi Arabia? There was no need to break up talks and attack — according to Oman, Iran had already agreed to almost all demands.
Depending on the duration, oil prices should go up and thus fuel inflation.
China receives most of its oil imports from Russia, Saudi Arabia, and Malaysia. Iran and Venezuela account for about 2-3% each. China has been employing soft power — Silk Road initiative — and quiet diplomacy and is now rivalling the US outside of the OECD. This will only help them.
As an aside, Venezuela produces a heavy crude useful as an additive in certain refineries. Currently the Houston refineries use Canadian crude but if they switch to Venezuela crude (which they used prior to Chavez) then Canada will simply switch to China. In effect Canada and Venezuela will merely switch customers.
Rating material and sources is quite normal for open source sites like Wikipedia. The NYT is boring and mostly reliable — its editorial stance and opinion pages are usually centre right for economics and centre left for social issues. Its news articles are usually fact based. Wikipedia needs to gate-keep to avoid polluting junk from various right and left wing populists sites that are full of rumour and conjecture and short of facts. If you want your encyclopedic sources to be based on rage bait found in social media, than a fact based universe will no longer exist.

For those of you who think Wikipedia is a good resource…
It is, for leftist lies…

“You simply may not cite, or use as sources… anything that has been branded as right wing.”
Wikipedia co-founder @lsanger revealed to me that Wikipedia has a blacklist of sources that, if used, can prevent you from posting on the site.“
Wikipedia now has a list of what they call perennial sources, and it functions as a blacklist.”
“There’s a color coding of different media sources.”
“The New York Times, of course, is green, which means you can cite The New York Times.”
“Anything that is colored yellow means essentially caution.”
“And red means it’s a no go.”
“If you actually attempt to use such sources, that actually might be grounds for you being dismissed from the project.””
