اتهام زدن«لابی‌گری رژیم» به ایرانیان آمریکایی که با جنگ و تحریم‌ها مخالفند و از دیپلماسی حمایت می‌کنند، اهداف مشترک جامعه ما را تضعیف می‌کند. دموکراسی از دل روش‌های اقتدارگرایانه بیرون نمی‌آید. حقایق درباره نایاک را اینجا بخوانید: NIACTruth.org

Baselessly targeting Iranian Americans who oppose war & sanctions, & support diplomacy as “lobbyists for the regime” undermines our community's shared goals. Democracy isn't born from authoritarian tactics! Learn the truth at NIACTruth.org

Iranian Americans who oppose war and sanctions have been hit by baseless disinformation, threats, and defamation calling them "lobbyists for the Islamic Republic". A deliberate tactic to suppress debate and silence criticism of maximum pressure policy.

یک مهاجر ایرانی که به طور قانونی در تگزاس یا هر ایالت دیگری زندگی می کند، نباید به دلیل محل تولدش، از دنبال کردن رویای آمریکایی داشتن خانه یا کسب و کار منع شود. این لایحه منجر به تبعیض علیه ایرانیان و هدف قرار دادن یک قومیت خاص خواهد شد٬ و ما به مبارزه ادامه خواهیم داد تا… Show more

حملات کمپین های دروغ پراکنی علیه ایرانی آمریکایی ها به شدت زشت و خشونت آمیز است و مستقیما جنبش حقوق و آزادی ها در ایران را تضعیف می کند. از دل استراتژی های اقتدارگرایانه دموکراسی بیرون نمی آید.

Neyse ne. The question is: why do we call this lush green plains Turkmen Sahara, aka Turkmen desert? We don't call it Turkmen Sahara, that's an Anglophone exonym. We call it "dasht Gorgan". Dasht means plains, savannah, steppe, etc., It also means desert!
