Meet Mostafa Shirzadi (L), Friday prayer imam in the city of Marivan, NW #Iran.

Word is that this individual himself placed the noose around the necks of #LoghmanMoradi & #ZaniarMoradi.

Welcome to 21st century #Iran under the mullahs' rule.

Authorities using Nazi/Hitler tactics, marking the stores on strike today as shop owners in 28 different cities across 3 provinces launched a general strike.

To the world: Your silence supports the regime.
Raise your voice.

More videos of #Iran regime agents marking stores on strike.

No. This is not Nazi Germany.
This is #Iran. Ruled by the ruthless mullahs' regime.

Mark my words:
Just as the Nazis' rule came to an end, so will the mullahs' reign.
