my Sunday column: a surprise
@PahlaviReza
Holocaust Memorial Day visit to Israel, following the Iranian regime’s alQuds day, contrasts today’s Islamic Republic with the Iran of tomorrow
Outside the UN I challenged the Biden administration not to deal with a regime that kills women: "We aren't asking Biden to bring democracy for us. People of Iran are brave enough themselves. We don't want them to save us, we want them to stop saving the regime."

my Wednesday column: US leads in kicking Iran out of a UN commission it had no business being on to begin with. Would Biden further help Iranians by supporting their struggle to overthrow the IRI regime?
Please listen to this interview on CNN and be my voice. Last week Iranian regime arrested anti compulsory hijab women inside Iran and tortured them to denounce themselves and me on state TV. Now they send a man with loaded AK-47 in New York to kill me.
Hamas and Islamic Republic are terrorists, and they do not talk for the people of Iran or Palestine.
The whole situation in Israel and Gaza is an incredible tragedy.
While this is a proxy war by the Islamic Republic and its terrorist arm Quds Force and should be condemned in

is an Iranian hero. She’s also an American citizen and a Brooklynite. Her would-be kidnappers are IRI agents dispatched by the government in Tehran. This crime should be prosecuted, yes, in the courts. But surely also in the political arena
This. America, once the world leading superpower, has become indistinguishable from the UN. The country that led DDay now acts by crafting “strongly worded” gibberish. Ps: even at the UN, a “press statement” is the lowest form of SecCou action
🇺🇸 Ambassador Linda Thomas-Greenfield says U.S. expressed "in no uncertain terms" at the United Nations through "a very strongly worded press statement" from the Security Council that "we expect the Taliban to respect women's rights" and "to be respectful of humanitarian law."
My latest in Washington Post challenges Censorship in the name of Islamophobia.

Watching the Sunday news shows, I think of a posting I saw in Israel today: “the rest of the world is behind, still stuck with Covid while we’re already four catastrophes ahead.”
The UN votes on Cuba will undoubtedly be presented as a huge defeat for US &
@nikkihaley
but remember: they’re voting in favor of Cuba. Yes, THAT Cuba. So these votes are actually a huge defeat for the UN
I repeat my challenge to reporters attending today’s Rouhani presser: ask why Ali Alinejad was arrested, when his only “crime” is being related to

And for those who ask about legal justification for killing Soleimani in Iraq: there’s a UN travel ban barring him from traveling outside Iran.

One thing that’s got to stop is this “Palestinians ‘of color’ v Jews are white” business. If you really need to go all race-woke (and why would you) Jews, including the Ashkenazi variety, and Palestinian Arabs share same DNA roots

Just caught CBS FaceTheNation intvw with JavadZarif. Many qs about his views on US politicians (Trump, Bolton, Pompeo). Not one about Iran: politics, oppression of demonstrators/women, economy mismanagement, supporting a Syrian butcher, threats to annihilate israel..
