Father's Targeted Execution

  • πŸ’‘ Jazelle Sharmahd's father, a German-American software engineer, was abducted in Dubai and executed in Iran after creating a website for Iranians to communicate freely.
  • 🎯 He was targeted because his work exposed the Islamic regime as an occupying force, not a legitimate Iranian government.
  • πŸ’” His remains are still in Berlin, and the family is seeking U.S. administration help to bring him home, noting he was left behind during a 2023 hostage deal.

The Nature of the Iranian Regime

  • πŸ—£οΈ Jazelle asserts that the Ayatollah regime is not Iranian, but an occupation by Arab Islamists who have sought to destroy Iranians since day one.
  • πŸ“ˆ Despite the regime's attempts to suppress dissent, Jazelle believes the Iranian people will rise up, as they have historically.
  • ⚠️ The key concern is whether Western governments will continue to support the regime through deals, rather than supporting the people of Iran.
