  1. Thank you for showing beautiful Iranian women here. They are just as beautiful in Iran, just not free. They so want freedom. It’s TIME! HELP OUST THIS EVIL REGIME! ❤❤

  2. these women probably wore 2-piece bikini the first day they moved to USA

  3. I feel so sad that I can’t go back to Iran but I’m so proud of you great woman🙏🏻🙏🏻🌸💕☘️👍

  4. So where are all the cowardly men? Typical Iranian weak men who allow themselves to be ruled by dictators!

  5. FREEDOM FOR WOMEN OF IRAN remember the old song for women DONT TELL ME WHAT TO DO… It applys to you x good luck

  6. Tragedy in IRAN!#MahsaAmini wasn't the first one nor the last. We are losing our people every single day.#woman_life_freedom

  7. It would have been better to have a few men explain the situation.

  8. Empire's useful idiots!

  9. Never underestimate the Powerpuff girls , almost changed my diet

  10. We are not asking the world to interfere in Iran, wage war or sanction Iran’s people, We want the world to impose targeted sanctions on the leaders, operatives, oligarchs and lobbyists of the Islamic Republic.of Iran.

  11. The worst mistake people of Iran made was allowing bunch of so called:”Ayatollahs “ become their leaders.
    Iran held hostage.year 43 😢

  12. Then go to Iran and do something about it if you feel so strongly. I haven't had many good interactions with Iranians when I lived in LA and I know I'm not the only one.

  13. Iran may god bless you 💕🙏💔💋😓😢

  14. You're either Iranian or Americans not both

  15. No. We do not need to be involved in this

  16. If women are in the streets guess what? THEY BELONG TO THE STREETS!

  17. Put God first. See what happens. Put self first, this continues.

    Praise Jesus Christ.

  18. Like these Iraniam-American women, I am in awe of what the girls and young women in Iran are doing, to protest the unnecessary death of a young woman who was taken into custody by the "Headscarf Police" and then ended up dead. For more than a month, these fearless young females have been in revolt. It's absolutely astonishing! They are taking off these hideous headscarves and burning them! Sheer courage! And aren't these Iranian-American women beautiful! So nice to see their faces. You can see why men are so afraid of them!

  19. Sandra Bland, 28, a Black woman, dies in custody- arrested by TX police for refusing to put out a cigarette! Black women in America are subject to discrimination and they have been fighting for their rights for almost 400 years! Hypocrisy!

  20. Indigenous women in Canada face discrimination/lack of access to education/health care. They have the highest rates of poverty and are subjected to violence! Hypocrisy!

  21. Let's talk about the U.S.-backed Saudi war in Yemen which has created the world's worst humanitarian crisis! Women in Yemen are suffering! Hypocrisy!

  22. Let's talk about the Muslim women in France. They have a right to wear hijab and they are banned to exercise their rights! The double standard is disgraceful!

  23. Talk about Women's rights all across the world with no double standard. Talk about the rights of Palestinian Women too. Since 1948, the apartheid regime of Israel has slaughtered/murdered/lynched/brutalized/dehumanized/oppressed, & mass incarcerated them!

  24. The Western reaction is shameful if you care about women in Iran then you should be against the US sanction on Iran which is impacting millions of Iranian women! The sanction is denying them of life saving medicines/food/jobs/a decent economic prosperity! Sanction is a collective punishment & has caused Iranian women to suffer!

  25. They are not "protestors"! They are thugs and mobs burning police officers alive, burning schools/buses/hospitals/banks! They are separatists that creating chaos! Law and order should apply to all countries!

  26. Let's talk about the barbaric regime of Saudi Arabia & the suppressions of women's rights!
    No double standard!

  27. Women in America & their "rights": American women don't have paid family leave, affordable housing/child care/education, & reliable retirement! They are fighting for abortion rights & equal pay! They/their loved ones are trapped in endless wars! On top of it their elected president was a sexual predator/a pussygrabber! Shameful hypocrisy!

  28. USA has placed illegal/inhumane sanction on Iran/an economic warfare against Iran, a nation with 80M people, making it difficult to buy food/medicine during a pandemic. If you care about women in Iran then speak out against the collective punishment! Hypocrites!

  29. USA has created ISIS, the barbaric regime of Saudi Arabia funds ISIS, and the apartheid regime of Israel trains ISIS. If you care, cover ISIS(treatment of women especially Yazidi women/girls)!

  30. Pure propaganda! Shameful! Women in Iran are the most educated women in the world. #s of women in Iran studying science/medicine/engineering is the highest in the world & cost of education is paid by the government of Iran! Iranian women are free.
