9. Again, this is a reality many Iranians have come to terms with but it doesn’t make it any less painful We are cut off from our families & our culture not due to a family rift or by choice but due to hostile and corrupt leadership And weeks like this are particularly painful

Yashar Ali 🐘 Retweeted Khamenei.ir
15. A reminder...as most Iranians don’t have internet due to government ordered shutdown, the Supreme Leader continues to tweet lies about protesters. The Supreme Leader has a Twitter account even though Twitter is banned in Iran. Seems unfair

Khamenei.ir @khamenei_irBoth friends and foes should know that we have repelled the enemy in the war in military, political and security issues. The recent actions were security issues. By God's grace, we will also definitely repel the enemy in the economic war. http://english.khamenei.ir/news/7189 pic.twitter.com/x7ZhbSvVxW6 replies 102 retweets 319 likesShow this thread -

18. The House and Senate Democratic and GOP leaders continue to remain silent on Twitter what’s happening in Iran. In situations like this, Twitter is where messages of support can be easily shared with Iranians. @senatemajldr

For good reason. We don’t want the appearance of interfering at the government level. Iran already blames us.
