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

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.

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

#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.

This is unacceptable and @AJEnglish must apologise.
In this programme by @AJENews its Tehran team has distorted what an Iranian guy says and Aljazeera fabricates lies and has completely changed the words to mislead people around the globe.
[0:55 to 1:05]Man speaking Farsi:"This medical centre has been very helpful. We don't usually receive treatment at this centre.The hospital we go to is in a different place but this centre now helps us."
This man does not even mention sanctions or the Americans neither politics.

THREAD on #IranUpdate and possibilities. The Third Current movement[a new movement formed by young leaders with different backgrounds]asked Iranians to start cross country protests. People responded positively and protests kicked off on 31st of July. 1/16

https://twitter.com/Raman_Ghavami/status/1023940269534838785

It appears for the first time one group has influence inside Iran to guide people and current protests are very different than last ones in DEC-JAN. However, only central parts of Iran have joined the anti regime protests. Kurds, Azaris,Ahwazi Arabs&Balouchis have not joined.2/16

#IranUpdate,9 days to see the effect of first wave of sanctions.However,Iranian Rial continues to lose its value before sanctions start to weaken the IRI.
Today one Dollar is 107000 Rial.Price of dairy products yesterday increased by 32% as 73% of fodder etc in Iran are imported. Due to tanker drivers strike across the country in some cities petrol stations have no fuel to sell.On top of this the gov has decided to increase the price of fuel by 25% which would make the people even more angry.Iran imports 19% of its fuel.

[THREAD] Can IRI block the strait of Hormuz?
The short answer is no. It may not be as easy as it was for the US in 1988 to reopen it but without deploying any troops Trump could open the strait. Plus other gulf countries won't tolerate such act by IRI. IRI will lose.
1/18 Everyday more than 20mb of oil are transported through the strait of Hormuz which represents 1/5 of world's oil production.During Iraq-Iran war,Iran tried to cut off Iraq's oil shipment by placing mines which hit the US instead of Iraq 1988. 2/18

مصاحبه‌ رو نگاه كردم و چند نكته‌ كه‌ به‌ نظرم یك سیاستمدار[و كسی كه‌ ادعای مخالفت با نظام ج.ا را دارد]باید مد نظر داشته‌ باشد:
١.در شان یك سیاستمدار نیست كه‌ az الفاظ رقیق &زمخت استفاده‌ كند:'اولین تیر را دربكنید ببینین چه‌ پدری ازتون درمیارن.'@PahlaviReza

https://twitter.com/NazeninA/status/1016586877678379008

٢.یكی از موفقیتهای نظام در طول ٤٠ سال این بوده‌ كه‌ توانسته‌ یك رژیم ترس و وحشت از خود را در بین مردم نهادینه‌ كند. اساسی ترین دلیلی كه‌ مردم به‌ صورت یكپارچه‌ و متحد به‌ خیابانها نمیریزند وزود همین ترس از نیروهای سركوبگر است. در واقع سخنان ایشان ناخواسته‌ به‌ خدمت نظام درمی اید.

This statement is very important.PKK's Iranian branch is the most organised opposition group inside Iran followed by other Kurdish parties,Ahwazi Arabs(3 MOG),Balouchis(mostly underground but very organised called SAHAB).1/10

https://twitter.com/Raman_Ghavami/status/1017298601779847168

Azari people who are mainly organised by NGOs(based in uni&abroad)but they may find support in possible changes in Iran by Turkey and Azerbaijan.
The difference between these groups is that PKK's branch(PJAK)has a significant armed forces positioned inside&outside of Iran.2/10
