Iran Tried to Put A Bullet In My Head Because I Support The West’s Pressure against The Regime
In July, Americans watched Donald Trump providentially survive an assassin’s bullet when he turned his head at the last second. Less than a year prior, the same thing had happened to me. It was Nov. 9 of 2023 at 11:30 a.m. I was 30 meters from my home, just back from a walk in the park. A man in a motorcycle helmet walked up to me and said the words “Hello, sir.” What happened next was a blur.
He raised a gun towards my head and pulled the trigger, firing a 9mm bullet that ripped into my jaw. I couldn’t see his face. He tried to shoot again. His gun jammed.
My would-be assassin got away on a motorbike.
I was severely injured and had to fight for my life.
For many reasons, surviving this attack was a miracle. I had bent my head very slightly as I turned to speak to the assailant. He aimed for my neck, but the bullet went through my jawline instead.

Former Navy Sailor Pleads Guilty to Federal Charge In 2022 Plot to Attack Illinois Naval Station
A former US Navy sailor pleaded guilty to a federal charge accusing him of a 2022 plot to attack Naval Station Great Lakes in northern Illinois, according to a plea agreement unsealed Thursday.
Xuanyu Harry Pang, 38, allegedly devised a plan involving Iranian actors to conduct an attack against the US to avenge the death of Qasem Soleimani, a general of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps who was killed by a US airstrike in 2020, according to court documents. The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps was designated as a foreign terrorist organization by the US in 2019.
In November, Pang pleaded guilty in a Chicago federal court to conspiring to and attempting to willfully injure and destroy national defense material, national defense premises, and national defense utilities – namely Naval Station Great Lakes – with the intent to injure, interfere with, and obstruct the national defense of the US, the Department of Justice said in a news release Thursday.

U.S. Lawmakers Back Iranian Resistance Against ‘Pariah, Murderous, Terrorist Regime,’ Call for Democratic Iran
Over 150 members of Congress expressed support for a resolution endorsing the Iranian resistance movement against the “murderous” and “terrorist” Islamic Republic while advocating for a secular, democratic Iran.
A bipartisan coalition of more than 150 U.S. lawmakers has introduced House Resolution 166, calling for an end to Iran’s theocratic regime and backing the National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI). The resolution, co-sponsored by Reps. Tom McClintock (R-CA) and Brad Sherman (D-CA) affirm support for the Iranian people’s fight against oppression and endorse NCRI’s Ten-Point Plan for a free and democratic Iran.
During Wednesday’s congressional hearing, lawmakers condemned Iran’s government as a “pariah, murderous, terrorist regime,” with Rep. McClintock emphasizing that the Iranian regime has become a “supreme source of misery, injustice, and oppression for its own people.”
Who Is the Real Enemy of The Iranian Nation?
In a speech on February 17, Iranian regime Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei repeatedly stated that “the enemies of the Iranian nation want to harm this nation through software”
Within this single statement, there are two lies and deceptions: Firstly, no government in the world has ever sought to harm the Iranian nation. The focus of most Iranians inside the country and their supporters worldwide is to deal a decisive blow to the clerical regime and remove it as an obstacle to Iran’s progress and freedom. Meanwhile, major global powers, rather than supporting the Iranian people, have only engaged in appeasement and deals with the ruling mullahs—ironically preventing the regime’s downfall during various uprisings over the past four decades.
Secondly, it is Khamenei himself who has ordered the filtering of communication tools for the Iranian people—not any foreign government or external force. Beyond the filtering imposed under Khamenei’s rule, the rest of the world enjoys free and open communication, using internet services as needed for work and daily life.
The Guiding Light of “Neither Shah nor Mullahs” Illuminates Iran’s Path to Freedom
On February 26, 2025, news broke about a lawsuit filed in the United States against Parviz Sabeti, the head of the notorious Third Department of SAVAK (the Shah’s secret police) before the 1979 revolution. The lawsuit, filed by three political prisoners tortured during the Shah’s time, introduced Sabeti as the architect of institutionalizing torture in Iran and using forced confessions in public, obtained through torture. This practice was developed by Sabeti and has been expanded and used today in the mullahs’ regime.
The Independent reported that many sources say the Shah and Mullahs’ regimes are “two sides of the same coin.” The legacy of torture was built by the Shah and expanded by the Mullahs’ regime. SAVAK was never dismantled and was employed by the Mullahs’ regime.
Many political prisoners of the Shah’s time, in a statement recounting the crimes of the Shah and his SAVAK, exposed this strategy.
Femicide, a Continuing Tragedy in Iran: Seven Women Fall Victim
As the mullahs’ parliament continues to delay the adoption of a bill intended to prevent violence against women, the harrowing statistics of honor killings and domestic violence in Iran paint a grim picture. In just 12 days, at least seven women across the country fell victim to femicide at the hands of those who should have been their protectors—husbands and fathers. These tragedies expose the ongoing crisis of gender-based violence, perpetuated and institutionalized by the Iranian regime’s deeply misogynistic laws.
- Tehran, February 16, 2025: Najibeh Hassan-Khani, a 40-year-old woman, was lured by her husband under the pretense of finalizing their divorce settlement. Once at the designated location, he locked her inside the car and set it ablaze. She succumbed to her severe burns after being transferred to the hospital.
The Plight of Patients in Iran: Victims of Structural Tensions
The current situation of patients in Iran is one of the most glaring manifestations of the inefficiency and neglect of the ruling clerical regime toward the fundamental needs of society. In this regard, the state-run newspaper Arman Emrooz published a report on February 25, 2025, stating: “The tension between insurance organizations and healthcare centers, which has intensified in recent years, has not only disrupted access to healthcare services for vulnerable groups but has also put the lives of thousands, including dialysis patients, at serious risk.”
This crisis stems from structural problems, financial mismanagement, and misguided government priorities, burdening the people with its consequences.
