Iran Bloody Revolution Now

Postby CR » Thu Jan 12, 2023 2:47 pm

Iran Bloody Revolution Now

It’s true that power corrupts but Mullahs were corrupt to begin with. Shah knew when to leave but Mullahs want to cling to power until the last moment. Shah never killed so many people but Mullahs are killing people and children like there’s no tomorrow.

A governor of a province, I think Golestan made a statement that “if we don’t fight and surrender, these people (revolutionaries) will hang us all!” He is correct, paybacks are a bitch. What do you think, we should just live and let live, maybe thank these blokes for the bloody massacre of the Iranian youth, stealing the Iranian resources for 44 years and destroying Iran? That’s poppycock, that’s bollocks! That’s why these blokes will fight until the very end because they know if the regime goes, there will be a slaughter, no sorry, a genocide of Mullahs, Hezbollah, Islamists and Chadori bitches.

When I hear liberals say they are afraid of genocide, meaning us killing the Mullahs and Islamists after the victory, I get sick to my stomach! I guess liberals are blind and don’t see what Mullahs are doing now! Its because of these liberal pacifists that the situation got this bad. They will not fight and they preach non violence too! The worst enemy of Iran and opposition are these wishy-washy liberal pacifists who preach nonviolence. The Hollywood type, the intellectual Democrat type, the Tudehi, the Jebhe Melli, the Washington DC liberal monarchists and such. Turaluraluralu that’s bloody bollocks!

They have been relaxed sitting in exile for 44 years, doing nothing but writing rubbish on the net and planning the tomorrow of Iran! Right now, they are criticizing us!

Tomorrow when the victory will be ours, who needs you and your future plans? The time to fight is now which you have never had the backbone to ever fight. After Islamism, our worst enemy are liberals. With liberals, its almost like the silent majority, they never take action, they just sit around, do nothing and criticize the active opposition. They are good at bitching and moaning!

You want revolution, it takes bloodshed, get used to it. Aren’t liberals full of themselves which is loads of crap? Its like WC!

Mullahs will never leave until the last minute! They are making too much money to leave! Couple of million Islamists are governing 85 million people. They got all the power, weapons and money. Do you think, they’ll bloody pack up and leave Iran and power? Rubbish, you want to free Iran, be ready to fight and kill a couple of million at the worst scenario! Tough up poofs!

Ahreeman was right, he wrote, “When Mullahs and Democrats die out, Iran will be free!”

We will free Iran by all means possible

Rapper held in Iran protests needs 'urgent' treatment: rights group

Yahoo News
https://news.yahoo.com/

A rapper arrested in October on capital charges in Iran's crackdown on nationwide protests needs urgent medical treatment, a rights group said Thursday, urging an international campaign for his release.

The New-York based Center for Human Rights in Iran (CHRI) also said Toomaj Salehi was being deprived of his right to a fair defence in his trial, for which a date has yet to be set.

Salehi, 33, faces charges related to the protests that could see him sentenced to death. He is being held in solitary confinement in Dastgerd prison in central Iran, the rights group said.

The rapper had won prominence in Iran with his work that was heavily focused on social issues, and had strongly backed the nationwide protests that erupted in mid-September.

"He is in urgent need of intense and coordinated international pressure for his freedom, as are the many other detainees and political prisoners in Iran," said CHRI executive director Hadi Ghaemi.

The group said sources close to Toomaj inside Iran -- who it could not identify for security reasons -- said the rapper "required urgent medical treatment that cannot be provided from within the prison."

There had been alarm in the immediate aftermath of his arrest when state media published a video purporting to show the rapper blindfolded, with bruising on his face, apologising for his support of the protests.

One of the sources told the CHRI Salehi was "severely tortured" during the first days of his detention, with his left eye badly damaged due to blows to the head and his right ankle broken.

It said the family could not take him to hospital for an examination.

"We are very concerned about the severity and extent of his injuries," the source added.

The CHRI said Salehi, who is charged with the capital offence of "corruption on earth", has been denied a lawyer of his choice and denied the right to prepare a proper defence.

The Iran protests began in mid-September after the death in custody of Mahsa Amini, a young Iranian Kurd who had been arrested for allegedly violating Iran's strict dress code for women.

Four men have been executed in protest-related cases in what activists have described as "show trials".

According to Norway-based Iran Human Rights (IHR), at least 537 people have been killed by security forces in the crackdown on the protests.

Imprisoned Dissident Rapper Toomaj Salehi, Voice of Iran’s Protests, Faces Possible Execution

CHRI
https://iranhumanrights.org/

Sources Close to Toomaj Urge International Community to Demand His Release Before Trial Begins

Imprisoned Unjustly Since October 2022, in Urgent Need of Medical Care

April 6, 2023 – The international community, including music and arts institutions as well as freedom of speech and expression organizations, should urgently call for the release from arbitrary imprisonment of dissident rapper Toomaj Salehi, who is widely considered the voice of Iran’s protest movement, said the Center for Human Rights in Iran (CHRI).

“Toomaj rapped about political and social issues that Iranian authorities have long tried to conceal from domestic and foreign audiences to ward off criticism of their repressive policies,” said CHRI Executive Director Hadi Ghaemi. “Toomaj took extreme personal risks by further exposing issues that the state wants to hide, like child labor and political repression, through his art.”

“For peacefully criticizing state policies through his music, and because he has a large audience inside Iran, Toomaj has been in jail since October 2022, facing charges that could carry the death penalty,” added Ghaemi.

“He is in urgent need of intense and coordinated international pressure for his freedom, as are the many other detainees and political prisoners in Iran,” said Ghaemi.

Widely revered inside Iran as an underground rapper who directly addressed the denial of human rights in the Islamic Republic, Salehi, 33, known among his fans by his first name and from the city of Shahin Shahr, Isfahan Province, has been detained in isolation from all other prisoners in the province’s Dastgerd Prison—in a high-security ward controlled by the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps’ (IRGC) intelligence organization—since October 31, 2022.

Another rapper, Saman Yasin, an ethnic Kurd, also remains jailed in Iran after being arrested in October 2022 amid street protests. He was initially facing charges that could carry the death sentence but that charge has since been dropped. In February 2023, he went on hunger strike against the uncertainty of his situation.

Facing Multiple Charges, Possible Death Sentence

In interviews with CHRI, sources close to Toomaj said the rapper required urgent medical treatment that cannot be provided from within the prison.

They also stressed the importance of international pressure for Salehi’s release before his trial begins—in which he was initially denied a lawyer of his choice, and denied the right to prepare a proper defense—due to the severity of the charges he’s facing, including one that carries the death penalty.

He has only been allowed to meet with his lawyers three times in the last five months, sources told CHRI.

“Toomaj always used to quote [the poet] Ahmad Shamlou’s famous words that “an artist must always be ‘above’ power, not ‘with’ power,” said a source with detailed knowledge of his case who requested anonymity for security reasons.

“I can confidently say that if it weren’t for the media and international pressure in the early days and weeks, Toomaj might not be alive today,” added the source, stressing that the support has since faded.

“Toomaj’s trial has not yet been held, so it is very important to act now before it starts,” the source said.

Toomaj was arrested after joining street protests that had erupted across the country in mid-September 2022 after Jina Mahsa Amini, 22, was killed in state custody following her arrest by the so-called “morality police” for her alleged improper hijab.

He had previously been detained in September 2021 and was released after 8 days.

After moving from one safe house to another, he was detained shortly after the Canadian Broadcasting Cooperation aired an interview with him in which he described what it’s like to live in Iran: “You are dealing with a mafia that is ready to kill the entire nation…in order to keep its power, money and weapons.”

Medical Treatment Urgently Needed

State media then published a video purporting to show the rapper blindfolded, with bruising on his face, apologizing for his words.

Family members and supporters accused the authorities of torturing Salehi in prison to force him to make a false confession.

Directed by Islamic Republic intelligence agents, state media has a documented history of aiding the country’s intelligence and security apparatus by broadcasting false forced “confessions” that have been extracted under torture, in order to defame political prisoners in the public eye.

Toomaj is facing a charge that could carry the death penalty, “corruption on earth,” as well as charges that each carry 1-10 years of imprisonment: “propaganda against the state,” “formation and management of illegal groups with the aim of undermining national security,” “collaboration with hostile governments,” and “spreading lies and inciting violence through cyberspace and encouraging individuals to commit violent acts.”

His court date has not been set.

Call to Action

CHRI urges governments, UN bodies, organizations dedicated to promoting art, music, freedom of speech and expression, and other basic human rights, and concerned citizens worldwide to publicly demand Salehi’s freedom and publicize his case by sharing this article and signing a petition calling for Toomaj’s freedom.

Social media users can also produce content on their channels calling on others to join in sharing Toomaj’s story and demanding his freedom along with all other prisoners of conscience detained in Iran.

A sample caption: “Toomaj Salehi, a dissident rapper who spoke about social issues, has been unjustly detained in Iran since October 2022 under charges that could carry the death penalty.

Iranian authorities should #FreeToomaj and all prisoners of conscience who have been jailed for peacefully raising their voices.”

Interviews

Following are two interviews CHRI conducted with sources who have detailed knowledge of Toomaj’s case.

Due to the Iranian authorities’ restriction of Toomaj’s contact with his family members and fears that he or his contacts in Iran could be further punished for speaking about his case, CHRI has concealed the sources’ identities.

The following interviews were initially conducted in Persian and have been translated into English below.

Interview 1

Toomaj had been threatened and pursued by [security] agents long before the protests began. Toomaj had always voiced his protest and never backed down from his stand. But he didn’t like to talk openly about the threats and security pressures because he believed that it could make many people afraid.

With the release of Toomaj’s first video after protests began [in Iran in September 2022], the threats started. He was taking part in street protests, and it was possible that he would be identified. At the same time, because he was being threatened and hounded, he was constantly moving around. Every day we were waiting for Toomaj’s arrest. He was constantly changing locations and escaping. I can say he changed his location seven or eight times to avoid being caught. In those days, I was in constant contact with Toomaj. He even left me a few voice messages during his escapes, explaining that his hideout had been exposed. If he didn’t message back within five minutes, it meant he had been arrested.

The last time we were in contact was on October 31, at 4:25 a.m. We were messaging when suddenly Toomaj went offline. After about half an hour, he messaged that his internet connection had suddenly been cut off and switched from 4G to E mode. Right there and then, we both quickly concluded that Toomaj’s [physical] location had probably been discovered, and agents were on their way to arrest him along with two friends. About 20 minutes later, he messaged that a black Peugeot with tinted windows had entered the alley, stopped briefly, and then left. Toomaj wrote that he guessed the car had come to check the location so they could return with more agents to arrest us. It was around 5 a.m. when our connection was completely cut off. Later, I found out that at the same time, 70 armed agents surrounded the house where Toomaj and his friends were staying in the village of Gerd Bisheh, in Chaharmahal and Bakhtiari province. They stormed the house and arrested everyone, even the caretaker. However, the caretaker was released a few days later.

After the arrest, Toomaj and his friends were transferred to the detention center in Boroujen and subjected to severe physical abuse. The next morning, they separated Toomaj from his two friends and took him to another location, probably a safe house. In those days, state media also publicized a video of Toomaj showing him on the ground at the time of his arrest, with visible injuries and blood on his face from physical abuse.

Held in Isolation in IRGC-Controlled Ward

It has been more than 150 days since Toomaj’s arrest on October 30, 2022. He has been held in solitary confinement in Ward 1-T, which is controlled by the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps’ intelligence organization in Isfahan’s Dastgerd Prison.

Denied Access to Proper Medical Treatment

Toomaj was severely tortured during the first days of his arrest. His left eye was badly damaged due to the blows he received to his head. The condition of his injured eye is not clear. During this time, he has not received proper medical attention. Toomaj’s right ankle was also broken as a result of torture and physical abuse and he may need surgery. Due to the fact that our information about Toomaj’s medical condition is very limited and we don’t have permission to take him to the hospital, we are very concerned about the severity and extent of his injuries.

Location Concealed from Family

In the early days of his arrest, Toomaj’s family was told by officials at the prison that he was not being held there. The family suspects that during the first few days of his arrest, Toomaj was being held in a safe house and was not in prison during that time. Unfortunately, during this period, Toomaj was tortured to the point where he either went into a coma or was unconscious, so when the time came, officials transferred him to prison. Toomaj’s physical health was so poor and critical that prison officials refused to accept him because they did not know what was going to happen to him. Finally, he was eventually transferred to that prison.

Toomaj’s family spent about a month from the time of their son’s arrest until they became sure he was in the Dastgerd Prison. During this time, Toomaj’s father visited judiciary offices every day to follow up on his whereabouts. In the first few weeks, the authorities misled him by giving him the wrong addresses. For example, they told him such and such institution had arrested Toomaj and that he should follow up through that channel, or they lied and said Toomaj was being held in such and such detention center when multiple inquiries showed all the addresses were lies. Finally, about a month later, prison officials confirmed that Toomaj was being held in Dastgerd Prison, and they took some personal belongings such as clothes and things to deliver to Toomaj. Thirty-eight days after his arrest (December 8, 2022), Toomaj’s father was able to meet him for the first time.

Trumped-Up Charges

The accusations made against Toomaj by the prosecutor in Isfahan were very serious, especially since protesters had been executed for such accusations and lawyers said Toomaj could get the death penalty. The charges include “corruption on earth,” “propaganda against the state,” “formation and management of illegal groups with the aim of undermining national security,” “collaboration with hostile governments,” and “spreading lies and inciting violence through cyberspace and encouraging individuals to commit violent acts.” The court date has not yet been set and we are still in a state of uncertainty.

Denied Access to Lawyer, Restricted Visits with Family and Books

During the first few weeks of Toomaj’s imprisonment, he basically had no access to a lawyer, and all the lawyers he chose were rejected by the judicial authorities. Amir Raeesian and Raza Etemadi, Toomaj Salehi’s chosen lawyers, filed their request for legal representation on November 30, 2022, and on December 28th the judicial authorities agreed to their request. Then Toomaj had two brief meetings with his lawyers, and on February 15th he had a long meeting with Amir Raeesian.

Currently, Toomaj meets with his family once a week. Throughout this time, Toomaj’s family faced many restrictions on bringing him certain items. For example, after many follow-ups, they finally managed to deliver some books to him in early January. However, they [prison authorities] had given a list of books to the family and said they were only allowed to choose from that list, which did not include many authors and subjects. Despite all these restrictions, and since Toomaj is someone who read books every day, his family managed to get some books for him.

Toomaj says he practices writing poetry in his head; he doesn’t always need a paper and pen.

According to his father, in his last visit with Toomaj, Toomaj was very strong and spirited. Essentially, Toomaj’s personality has been the same, and he has always been a symbol of strength and resilience for me and other friends. In fact, the family’s current greatest concern is his health, especially the serious injuries he suffered as a result of torture.

Although Toomaj has a very strong and admirable spirit, we must seriously consider the fact that more than 150 days of isolation, along with poor physical conditions and severe torture, have had a profound effect on the one’s spirit.

Toomaj Salehi: “Son of Iran”

What truly sets Toomaj apart from others is his honesty. Personally, I was amazed to see someone like him, who sings and writes music so courageously, living in a strict society like Iran. When Toomaj produced his song “Soorakh-e Moosh” (“Mouse Hole”) that year, there was no news or such an atmosphere like today. This courage and frankness are very evident in Toomaj’s work.

Toomaj always used to quote [poet] Ahmad Shamlou’s famous words that “an artist must always be ‘above’ power, not ‘with’ power.” Toomaj always believed that artists have a pulpit and therefore they should use it to defend the people. Toomaj’s artistic style, which is rap music, according to him, is the “voice from the bottom of society.”

Toomaj always said that what people talk about should be reflected in art. Toomaj believed that the current problem in our society is the intensity of discrimination that persists everywhere. Child labor, poverty, executions, and torture are all part of our society’s problems, and we as artists must be the voice of these people and their issues.

Toomaj always spoke with frankness and courage and always asked why an artist should speak in a convoluted manner [as some do in Iran]. He said we must speak our minds clearly, especially in the rap genre. According to Toomaj, the era of talking in a convoluted mannr has passed.

Toomaj always said that he was a defender of the oppressed and those who are discriminated against in our society, in his own words, “the voice of the voiceless.” He always said that he was a defender of child laborers. In my opinion, these are the points that make Toomaj the voice of Iran. Or as he says in his music, “I am the son of Iran.”

Toomaj has reacted to even the smallest forms of discrimination in Iranian society and talked about all forms of oppression in his music. Even after the Sepideh Rashnoo incident [a girl who was assaulted and arrested for not wearing a hijab on a bus], Toomaj started a campaign for her. Toomaj always showed a reaction to the oppression and injustice that people face, regardless of their political leanings, and he was their voice.

Calls for Help from the International Community

I can confidently say that if it weren’t for the media coverage and international pressure in the early days and weeks, Toomaj might not be alive today. We know that if the detained individuals remain anonymous, or if no one speaks for them, any disaster could happen to them. Therefore, it is very important that we always be their voice.

I think currently the most important thing that can help Toomaj is a general consensus in the international community to bring broad, all-encompassing, focused and targeted pressure on the government of the Islamic Republic to release him. These broad and united international pressures will certainly have a significant impact on the case. So far, many things have been done, but they have been scattered and not focused.

Interview 2

Toomaj’s right ankle was broken during severe torture. He was in a coma for several days. Toomaj’s fingers were also broken. Currently, due to the damage to his ankle, he still has difficulty walking. No action has been taken to provide treatment and follow up on his physical condition. On the other hand, due to the numerous blows to the left side of his face and eye, he also has visual problems. Of course, I do not know the exact extent of his eye problem.

Requests

Our most important request is unconditional freedom for Toomaj because as a protesting artist and someone who has been the voice of the people, he has not harmed anyone and has no place in prison whatsoever. There is no place for any artist in prison. Therefore, our request is the immediate and unconditional release of Toomaj. This should happen very quickly because Toomaj needs urgent medical attention, and if this does not happen, his physical problems, such as the condition of his ankle or his eyesight may be affected for years to come. Toomaj has been kept in isolation for over five months now. Our second request is to allow for medical treatment. Our third request is to send a fact-finding committee to investigate the legal and judicial process against him.

See, even now, Toomaj’s political sponsors in European countries have put pressure on their ambassadors in Iran, but unfortunately, no action has been taken. There has been no reaction from anyone…

…I personally think that the reason why no information was given about Toomaj’s whereabouts during that time [of the first two months of his detention] was because of the severity of the torture that they had inflicted on him, and they had brought him to the brink of death, and that’s why they were afraid to inform us about him.

I am sure that many psychological tortures were inflicted on Toomaj. He is a very strong and resilient human being. He has a strong spirit and a strong and resistant body. That’s why he has resisted. We must try in any way possible to free him. Toomaj’s trial has not yet been held, so it is very important to act now before it starts.

*This article was revised on April 6, 2023, to note that Toomaj Salehi was initially denied access to lawyers of his choice until he was allowed severely restricted access to lawyers he had chosen.

Soon or late, Iranian Women led by the “Iranian Female Students” in the Universities and the High Schools will be the end of IRI, Mullahs, Islamism and Islam in Iran! Persian High School Girls will be dancing on the Mullahs’ graves! In a country where the literacy rate is 97%, half the population are women and 70% of the university graduates are women, you cannot Islamize the women! Persian women are too educated and sophisticated to be Muslims and slaves to Islam! Persian women will never accept the Arab religion and its hejab!

Iranian population is young. The median age in Iran is 32. Over half the population are under 35. Over 52% speak English. Young people speak English, are net savvy and educated. Iranian teenagers can surf all the banned sites and are very familiar with the Internet, pop culture and world affairs.

Iran seizes ship in Gulf of Oman, US Navy says

FOX News
https://www.foxnews.com/

Marshall Islands-flagged vessel was en route to Houston before being seized by Iran after leaving Kuwait

The U.S. Navy announced Thursday that the Islamic Republic of Iran has seized a foreign vessel in the Gulf of Oman.

The Marshall Islands-flagged oil tanker Advantage Sweet was taken by Iranian forces after leaving Kuwait on its way to Houston, Texas.

"The oil tanker issued a distress call during the seizure," the U.S. Navy's 5th Fleet said. "Iran's actions are contrary to international law and disruptive to regional security and stability."

The statement added, "Iran should immediately release the oil tanker."

Marshall Islands-flagged oil tanker Advantage Sweet, which, according to Refinitiv ship tracking data, is a Suezmax crude tanker which had been chartered by oil major Chevron and had last docked in Kuwait, sails through Bophorus Istanbul, Turkey, Feb. 11, 2023.

The incident comes amid wider conflicts regarding Iran's nuclear programs

US Naval Forces Central Command (NAVCENT) released a statement attributing the vessel's seizure to the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps Navy.

"Advantage Sweet was seized by Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps Navy while transiting international waters in the Gulf of Oman," NAVCENT said.

"Iran's continued harassment of vessels and interference with navigational rights in regional waters are a threat to maritime security and the global economy," the statement continued. "In the past two years, Iran has unlawfully seized at least five commerical vessels sailiing in the Middle East.

Image
The Gulf of Oman is a strait which connects the Arabian Sea with the Strait of Hormuz. The Gulf borders Iran, Pakistan, Oman and the United Arab Emirates.

"The Islamic Republic continues to prove that its terrorism and regional destabilization is not limited to land, air, or even international waters. Tehran’s threat to international shipping is almost as old as the Islamic Republic itself," Behnam Ben Taleblu, senior fellow and Iran expert at the Foundation for Defense of Democracies, told Fox News Digital.

"Iran’s continued hostage taking of oil tankers and harassment of other vessels blows a hole through the theory that greater Chinese involvement in the Persian Gulf might restrain the regime’s bad behavior," he added.

The US Navy's 5th Fleet is monitoring the situation as it develops.

Iran National Team Rewarded for Betrayal of People

Postby Atusa Qajar » Thu Jun 22, 2023 7:26 pm

Iran National Team Rewarded for Betrayal of People
Contract on Team Melli Traitors Still Stands!


Let it be told for the record that Team Melli before departure to Qatar World Cup, went to kiss Raisi’s hand and sell out to the Mullahs. In Qatar, they did not wear a small piece of black cloth on their jerseys’ chest area or a black armband on their arms. They did not kneel, nor did they protest by not singing the IRI national anthem. Some of them are Hezbollahi, some of them are opportunists and some reluctant to protest. The worst that could happen to them was to be jailed a while or home arrest like IRI done to the female athletes for not wearing hejab abroad. Team Melli are cowards. Iranian Female Athletes had more balls than Team Melli.

Most of you play abroad for foreign club teams and make a bundle of money, so what do you care if IRI punish you? You are typical cowards.

Back then, Iranian people put a contract on their heads. This contract still exists because Iranians will never forget the betrayal of the Team Melli.

For their betrayal of the Iranian people and their cowardice, indeed for kissing Mullahs’ balls, today they have been rewarded by the regime. Team Melli players who played in Qatar World Cup, each received a spots car, tax free. Sports cars imported such as Porsche, Maserati and Range Rover. Each also received a number of Gold Coins and cash money. They were honored and received benefits for losing and getting eliminated in the Qatar World Cup.

Iranian people booed you, cheered the USA Team and put a contract on your heads. That contract still stands. Iranians will never forget and in the future free Iran, paybacks will be granted. Some say forget ang forgive but if we forget and forgive every traitor, then the people will consider us as traitors! We are the voice of the street people from every corner of Iran. We obey the people of the streets.

Shame on Team Melli Players of Qatar World Cup. You are opportunist Pigs. Soon or late playbacks will come.

Many Express Concern Over Secret Trial Of Iranian Dissident Rapper

Iran International
https://www.iranintl.com/

Iranian lawyers and activists have expressed concern over the secret trial of Toomaj Salehi, a rapper opposed to the Islamic Republic.

Lawyer Pegah Banihashemi, told Iran International on Sunday that "Salehi has been detained for more than 230 days, and a few days ago, his trial was held behind closed doors. Considering that there are reports about his beating, the US government has announced that it will monitor his case."

On June 22, representatives of the German, Austrian, New Zealand, and Italian parliaments, who have become Salehi's political sponsors, announced that the court proceedings concerning the singer's charges were held 230 days after his arrest without media coverage or official notification.

Milad Rasaimanesh, a political activist, also said “the more famous people inform about the case of Toomaj Salehi, the better the situation will be for him.”

Three parliament members of Germany, Italy and Austria also demanded access to his file.

"We are very concerned. There is no transparency at all. We don't know anything: Not how the court date went. Not when the next court date will be. Not when the verdict will be announced," Ye-One Rhie, a member of Germany's parliament, stated on Twitter.

"We demand direct access to Toomaj himself. We demand access to all court files," she underlined.

Inside Iran, public protests against the imprisonment of the dissident singer continue with people chanting slogans or putting up posters of Salehi in various cities.

Earlier, Shirin Ebadi, a lawyer and winner of the Nobel Peace Prize, wrote about the judicial process of Toomaj, saying that he was denied the right to have a lawyer of his choice.

The Iranian diaspora also organized several rallies across Europe and America in recent months to support Salehi and other political prisoners.

Salehi, 33, is an artist mostly known for his protest songs about Iran's social issues and injustice by the government. Salehi was arrested on October 30th as part of the crackdown on opponents.

His arrest came shortly after his interview with the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation, saying that “You are dealing with a mafia that is ready to kill the entire nation... in order to keep its power, money and weapons.”

In his politically charged songs such as “Buy a Rat Hole” (2021), Toomaj, a 32-year-old metalworker in Esfahan, spoke out against repression, injustice, poverty, and authorities’ own corruption and impunity from prosecution.

Analysis: Iran Gets an Unwritten Deal From the U.S. as Israel Gets a Bear Hug

Haaretz
https://www.haaretz.com/

The U.S. generously publicizes joint drills with Israel, while it expects Israel not to take unilateral military action ■ On the judicial crisis and calls to refuse duty, Defense Minister Gallant – a minister the U.S. still sees as a partner to dialogue – is both right and wrong

Things are going pretty well for Iran these days. The hijab protest has waned, the tightening relations with China and Russia are bearing fruit, and the Arab states, aware of the new international strategic reality, are looking for routes to rapprochement with Tehran. But for the regime there, the crowning glory is likely related to a deal with the United States.

Under the aegis of the Biden administration, the international media are talking about emerging understandings whose aim is de-escalation, a reduction of friction. In practice, what’s shaping up looks more like an unwritten agreement of which a significant portion is already starting to be implemented. The Biden administration is declining to term it officially an agreement, not least because that would stir a negative response by the Republicans in Congress.

The U.S. initiative is based on a freeze in return for a release. Iran has committed not to enrich uranium above a level of 60 percent – that is, not to reach the 90-percent level at which nuclear arms can be manufactured. Washington, for its part, has withdrawn its opposition to the release of Iranian assets worth $20 billion in banks across several countries. Iran and Western countries will mutually release prisoners and kidnapping victims. These unofficial understandings have already taken effect, and it looks as though Iran has slowed down, if it hasn’t already stopped, enriching uranium to high levels. The compromise effort is being coordinated by Brett McGurk, the Biden administration’s National Security Council coordinator for the Middle East and North Africa.

Concurrently, the Americans sought to place Israel in a kind of bear hug. On the one hand, they are more generous when it comes to official publicity about joint military exercises, which imply joint attack capability against Iran (and it could be they are also willing to discuss this in greater detail in backrooms). On the other hand, their expectation is apparently for Israel not to take them by surprise in the form of an independent attack on Iran. More than a decade ago, the U.S. invested a major effort, both in collecting friendly intelligence and in moves that can be described as “soft influence,” to ensure that no such scenario came to pass. Since then, one basic fact has changed: The Biden administration trusts Netanyahu even less than the administration of Barack Obama did.

The White House is now looking toward a different target date, namely the presidential election in November 2024 (as is Netanyahu, though he’s likely hoping for the opposite result). Until then, the aim is to ensure that things remain on a low burner. With understandings, Iran will not burst through to nuclearization and the likelihood of an Israeli attack is vastly reduced. Washington hopes to use this time to focus on the two principal fronts from its perspective: China and Russia-Ukraine. The primary expectation from Israel is for it not to interfere.

In the meantime, Jerusalem is playing its part. Gallant has thought for some months that the U.S. was aiming to reach understandings with Iran; Netanyahu made do with lip service by way of objecting, but has not actually mounted a concrete campaign against the understandings. The experts say it’s really quite a good idea, considering the alternatives. This way we will at least gain time until Iran next considers breaking through to the bomb, and in the meantime the military option can continue to be developed, after it was neglected for six years – from the signing of the nuclear agreement in 2015 until the rise to power of the government of Naftali Bennett and Yair Lapid in 2021.

In security cabinet and regular cabinet meetings on Sunday of this week, Netanyahu was perceptibly on edge about the possibility of mass refusal to serve by reservists. He pressured the attorney general and state prosecutor to find a legal reason to take measures against those who organize for or preach refusal to serve, as he sees it. There is dual sensitivity here: not only because of the regime coup, but because of the Iran issue. During the air force pilots’ protest last March, Netanyahu was incensed by what a reservist pilot said in a Channel 12 interview: “Without us, Netanyahu doesn’t have anyone to attack Iran.” That was the basis for Netanyahu’s attacks on the IDF chief of staff and on the commander of the air force in light of the pilots’ protest. The preparations for Iran, or their semblance, are his chief joy; the air force pilot spoiled the narrative.

‘Oops, too late’

In 2012, at the height of the debate about a possible attack on Iran’s nuclear project, the then-defense minister, Ehud Barak, coined the phrase “immunity zone.” Barak, who at the time, in coordination with Netanyahu, was pressing for an attack on Iran, contrary to the opinion of the heads of the security branches, maintained that only a limited time remained for Israel to bomb Iran before it fortified its subterranean sites in a way that would render an attack ineffective. When the generals argued that the time was not yet ripe for an attack, Barak claimed that a situation might be created of “too soon, too soon … oops, too late.”

That’s also the thinking of many of the leaders of the protest movement, in the wake of the decision by the reservist pilots and navigators not to declare at this stage that they will cease volunteering for service. The concern is that waiting for the picture to become clear will enable Netanyahu to make a snap move and enact the law to cancel the reasonability standard in the final two votes on the bill in Knesset. The pilots prefer to wait until next week. Until then, a critical mass of resignation letters might emerge, which each pilot will write individually. If the total number reaches the red line set by the IDF for the necessary size of qualified air crews, the coalition’s coup legislation and the air force’s fitness will be pitted against each other.

This time, Gallant is on Netanyahu’s side. To people with whom he has spoken, Gallant sounded apologetic, defensive. Unlike other ministers, the defense minister does not declaim the talking points of the Prime Minister’s Office. But of late he has apparently forged an alternative narrative about the protracted political crisis. According to Gallant (and there is truth in this), he was the only one ready to take a courageous step, almost to commit political suicide, and bring about a freeze in the legislation last March. Now, when the opposition could have arrived at a compromise and made do with limited legislation – and perhaps also join the government and thus dictate a more moderate, centrist line – it is unwilling to take this step because of its burning hatred for Netanyahu and the boycott it has imposed on him. In Gallant’s view, refusal to serve is outright unacceptable, and perhaps the protest is exaggerated, he says, because what’s in the cards is only a small part of the originally planned legislation.

The narrative Gallant has fashioned for himself ignores two facts. First, that it was the protesters who kept him in the Defense Ministry in March. If half a million Israelis hadn’t taken to the streets to protest Netanyahu’s attempt to punish Gallant for making his courageous move, his dismissal (reportedly the idea of Netanyahu Jr.) would have gone through. And second, the protest is focused on the hallucinatory situation in which a prime minister who is under severe indictment on corruption charges insists on staying in office, despite his undertakings in the past, and is also trying to exploit his status to crush Israeli democracy.

Together with the pilots’ protest, U.S. pressure against the coup legislation is rising. Hardly a day went by this week on which President Joe Biden, the State Department or commentators close to the administration, such as the New York Times’ Thomas Friedman, didn’t assail the Israeli government’s actions. The Pentagon is continuing to maintain a substantive relationship with Israel’s security establishment, but even there, in the day-to-day conversations, apprehension is being voiced in the light of the rampages by settlers in the territories, and Israelis are plied with questions about the political crisis.

Gallant is perceived by Washington as a minister with whom it’s still possible to hold a dialogue, certainly after the attempt to dismiss him. He lacks independent political clout such as his predecessor, Benny Gantz, wielded, but the Americans are also encouraged by his relatively moderate stance regarding the Palestinians and by the way he and the security chiefs have spoken out against Jewish terrorism in the territories.

The tensions with the administration are directly affecting the IDF’s long-range force building plan. For all kinds of reasons, there has been a delay in the air force’s acquisition of aerial refueling planes, which are considered a critical component in connection with an attack on Iran. This week, as a kind of compensation, the United States sent a refueling aircraft of its own to a joint exercise in Israel, thereby enabling the air force to gain prior experience. The administration is continuing to further the deal for Israel’s procurement of an F-35 squadron, although the differences of opinion about assimilating more Israeli systems in the planes to come remain unresolved.
