Meet Fatemeh.
She's just 7 years old.
She should be going to first grade.
But she won't be.
She is working in the harsh conditions of a brick factory to help her parents try and make make ends meet...

Welcome to #Iran under the mullahs' regime

More reason for #IranRegimeChange
Sensing the escalating crisis, #Iran's Central Bank issues a statement claiming reports of the currency crisis are nothing but an "enemy conspiracy" and #FakeNews.
This further proves how deeply concerned the regime is & how correct the reports are.

Add this to the long list linking #Iran's regime with international terrorism.

This time, the al Qaeda-affiliated al Shabaab militant group of Somalia.

"... domestic revenue generation by al Qaeda-affiliated al Shabaab 'is more geographically diversified and systematic' than that of Somalia’s federal government."
