An Iranian man in New York City is warning Americans from experience. At a pro-regime-change rally waving Lion & Sun flags, American flags, and photos of the dead, he said: “If you don’t stand up for yourself… this flag will go down. I don’t want that for you or your kids. You must stop the Islamic regime right now.” He pointed to Zohran Mamdani and Ilhan Omar, saying they are not here for Americans, and that voting against Trump out of hate is how the regime’s ideology gains ground. On January 8–9, 2026, the Iranian regime killed thousands of protesters in two nights, according to Iran International. The 2022 crackdown killed 551 people including 68 children, according to Iran Human Rights. Executions reached 975 in 2024 and over 1,500 in 2025. Meanwhile, CAIR’s own 2026 directory lists a record 255 Muslim elected officials in the U.S., including 11 mayors. These people already lived under the system that hangs women for their clothing and executes dissenters. They are standing in Manhattan urging Americans to pay attention before the same ideology uses political divisions to expand its influence here.
