They have lived in a world that you know NOTHING about.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>For 47 years, my people have endured systematic torture, rape, murder, humiliation, anxiety, suppression, and grief under the Islamic Republic. It\u2019s been a long, grinding suffering \u2014 punctuated by brutal spikes like the January protests, mass executions, and now war. The world has no idea of the scale or depth of these horrors. Only when this evil regime finally falls will the full truth pour out \u2014 in quality and quantity that will shock humanity.<\/p>\n<p>We have now reached a point where almost no cost is too great if it rids us of this regime. Because the cost of it staying in power is infinitely higher.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re reading this and you can\u2019t understand how any Iranian could feel relief at their own country losing a war and getting bombed\u2026 I envy you. You have never lived what we have lived. You have never watched your people, friends, family, and loved ones get tortured, raped, or killed almost daily and over half a century. You have never seen an entire nation slowly but brutally suffocated like this.<\/p>\n<p>We tried every alternative imaginable: massive protests, dissent, peaceful reform, negotiations \u2014 everything. None of it worked. The regime\u2019s answer has always been bullets, gallows, and more terror.<\/p>\n<p>Now, less than 24 hours before Trump\u2019s deadline, I write this with a heavy heart from inside Iran:<br \/>\nWhatever happens next \u2014 if there is still an Iran left to save and this regime is gone \u2014 the Iranian people will be happy with the result. No matter the cost. Because the cost of the regime remaining is higher, and for many of us, death itself is preferable to another day under this nightmare.<\/p>\n<p>This is the true sentiment of the majority of Iranians \u2014 the voice of a people who often have no internet, no platform, and no way to be heard.<\/p>\n<p>The world will soon understand why we say:<br \/>\nAnything to be free. Anything to end this evil.<\/p>\n<p>#IranMassacre?<br \/>\n#IranRevolution2026?<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/siaxares\/status\/2041390849620079021\">https:\/\/x.com\/siaxares\/status\/2041390849620079021<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As an Iranian who stayed connected through Starlink during the total internet blackout, I want to wholeheartedly confirm what President Trump just said: &#8220;The Iranian people want to be free.
