  1. #RezaPahlavi is our real representative and he is also a real alternative for our future leadership. #RezaPahlaviIsOurShah #LongLiveShah #MahsaAmini

  2. From India 🇮🇳

    Whatever a woman chooses to wear, she has the right to decide for herself.

    I am calling for justice for #MahsaAmini.

  3. Where is the uproar from the feminist at the woman's March?? Nevermind it's not trump related!!

  4. It's not just about mandatory hijab!
    It's all about this regime, we don't want islamic republic, we want free, democratic and secular government 👊🏻
    Talk about this subject 🙏🏻
    #TheIslamicRepublicMustChange

  5. …Iranians need to take of their business…by the way so should the Ukrainians,…in other words we shouldn't get involved, basically figure it out…we have our own problems here in America

  6. Oh look .. it's because democrats are in the white house this happened. The world knows democrats are sick and weak. Truth. Fact.

  7. We, the brave people of Iran, are taking revenge for our sisters Mehsa Amini, Hananeh Kia and Mehsa Mogoi from the dictatorial regime of the Islamic Republic

  8. Morality police is something Republicans would love to have

  9. 🙏 pray for there safety and to achieve there own rights. Praise God

  10. Burning 70 ambulances It's called a peaceful protest and you want the government to allow that

  11. The gangsters found a good excuse to Burn ambulances and vandalize stores

  12. Everyday Israel kills palestinians and we never hear it on the news It surprised me this is so important

  13. Problem is these protests happen every so often and then fizzle out

  14. Iranian women are so strong! warrior women!

  15. Western people know their pupets as bravers like zelensky

  16. Take care your women not ours we are not people who follow their desires but we follow God's will

  17. No dept that Iranian dictator regime is a murder of young generation of people in iran. Faith to freedom

  18. Women should respect their man if he is of good character and has earned it but, the term “obey” seems to be taken to the extreme, which is only limiting and harmful to others. The ways of some countries are still far too oppressive for women and children 😣 I hope Iran continues to fight for a better balance of goodwill and well-being for all their citizens 🌎

  19. Iranians are now shouting for regime change in streets all over Iran. They are burning down Khomeini, Khamnei and Qassem Soleimani banners and pictures.
    Please cover this every day.

  20. It's good to see the Iranian woman fighting for their rights, if they succeed it could be a big step for women rights in iran

  21. Freedom Iran and Iranian. 💙💙💙💙💙💙✌✌✌✌✌

  22. Please report more of this please

  23. Real women with real problems, unlike the west and its feminism. These women face far more than the pampered societies of the modern western world.

  24. ❤️‍🔥Für MAHSA AMINI & WORLD WIDE WOMEN 🌪🌍 بدون امید ما هیچیم

  29. Women aren't caged birds. Don't crush there free spirit in the name of some regressive religion. Let them enjoy their life as par with their european counterparts or Hindu girls.

  30. Persia was a powerful and progressive nation until it was taken over by Islam

  31. firdt its ukraine, now iran? wow, how cruel is the world?

  32. 🐎/🕊️🕊️
    TABWYA
    🤗

  33. The main legitimate man that should lead the fight and opposition to the Islamic corrupt republic of Iran should be Reza Pahlavi and should restore Persia's Glory day's
