#Iran,
For the second day upper-middle class in Tehran are protesting and asking everyone to close their shops and businesses.
This development will make the regime weaker than before as some parts of the middle class were the supporter of a faction within the establishment.
Protests are spreading and security forces can’t stop them. We may see the end of Islamic Republic of Iran soon if Trump refuses to negotiate with Tehran.
Central Tehran is also on the streets protesting Iran’s policies. Tehran’s Bazar demanding changes and the number of protesters growing.
#RegimechangeinIran
Protesters in Tehran are asking law enforcement forces to join them.Iranians want to divide security forces in order to counter IRGC&other ideological forces much easier.
Regime apologists in the West are worried,want people to stop protesting&tweeting Iran will be a 2nd Syria.
#Iran,
Protesters in #Tehran are chanting “death to Syria.” This chant is a reaction to Tehran’s policies in the region.
Stopping Tehran will be very difficult for the regime if Tehranis continue what they have started.
“Our enemy is here,they lie when they say US is our enemy”
More people are joining.
Protesters chant the same slogans as they did in December and January protests:
“No to Gaza,no to Lebanon, my life is for Iran.”

It would be interesting to see how Tehran is going to respond.
#تهران
Security forces have been deployed to counter protesters. Special forces attacked protesters in Tehran but people are trying to counter them.

Iranians need your support for freedom and democracy. Support them by spreading the word.
#RegimechangeinIran
A video from different locations in Tehran. People chanting “leave Syria and think about us.”

#RegimechangeinIran
Protesters are trying to gather in one location but in some part of the city security forces are trying to stop them.
#Tehran
Chanting “we don’t want incompetent parliament.”
The target is the entire establishment here.

A few minutes ago in Kurdish city of Kermashan(Kermanshah) IRGC fired a few missiles to an unknown destination. Two of the missiles crashed near the city a few second after they were fired.
At least 8 missiles were fired.
The missiles were fired from IRGC's base in Kermanshah called Shohada headquarters.
The moment when one of the missile exploded and a few minutes later crashed.
The IRGC has not published any statement.

#THREAD/
Following Iranian media outlets, the @iaeaorg and international community should investigate @netanyahu's claim regarding Iran's secret atomic facility.
It is highly likely that the evidence provided by Netanyahu is reliable. 1/9
This was the video published by an Iranian website. It is interesting why these three men are asking people to not visit the location. In this video they repeatedly ask people to not try to visit the place because there is nothing. But they fail to show inside the building. 2/9
Iranian state TV reporter went to the location. The reporter refused to ask to go inside and show inside the building.
In the report, a man in a red T-shirt[was introduced as an ordinary citizen]makes fun of Netanyahu.Him and another person claim the place is an old depot.3/9

Who was behind #AhvazAttack?
Another contradictory statement from spokesperson for armed forces:"Attackers didn't have military uniforms on them."But reports&footages published by Iranian media contradict him .
Ahwazi Movement rejects responsibility&claims IRGC was behind it.
IS has published a video claiming its forces've conducted #AhvazAttack.ISIS claims the video was sent to them.Those speaking mention neither ISIS nor Ahvaz.Some claim an Ahwazi group might have cooperated with IS which can't be true cause none of Ahwazi groups focus is religion.
Surprisingly Iranian media publish a photo of the third attacker [who was 'killed' by the Iranian security forces]just hours after ISIS publishes its video. Prior to the video published by Iranians, only photos of two killed attackers had been published by Iranian media.

Be very careful about what you read about #AhvazAttack.
There are many fake news, unconfirmed reports, fabricated photos and photos taken for propaganda use.
For example @bbcpersian journalist @BahmanKalbasi claims a group has taken responsibility when it is not true.1/8
.@guardian journalist @SaeedKD mislead public opinion by writing 'children' were killed by 'terrorists'. And when you read his piece you only see there was one child and not children. But what the headline of the article suggests is very different to its context.2/8
Director of Iran project at @CrisisGroup, @AliVaez jumps in to protect Iranian regime and asks US officials to condemn the attack. However, he has never asked US officials before to condemn Iranian regime for arresting, raping, torturing and executing political prisoners.3/8

#IranUpdate
Kurdish opposition parties asked Kurds in Iran to go on strike to protest the execution of 6Kurdish political prisoners by the Islamic regime.Kurds responded to their calls,shops are closed&no one has been to work. Security forces threatened people but it didn’t work.
All the Kurdish cities are on strike. To see the unity and how organised the Kurds are is unique. We haven’t seen this anywhere else in Iran. This should be taking Into consideration when it comes to confronting the Iranian regime. A united force is crucial.
#TwitterKurds
Kurds in Iran are on strike in response to brutal and inhuman executions of Kurdish political prisoners. Shops are closed in all Kurdish cities and no one is working which demonstrate the Kurds can be more important and effective in confronting the Iranian regime. This is unique.
