Here’s to a better tomorrow, born from the wisdom rather than the weight of yesterday. Wishing you all a happy and healthy 2025! 💫
The legendary and iconic @googoosh. For 70 years, her art and indomitable spirit have united a nation and transcended borders. She is more than a voice; she is a symbol of resilience, hope, and identity. Today, her timeless lyrics are etched in the hearts of a new generation, including the fearless #WomanLifeFreedom protesters like @raheleh.amiriii and @mersedeh_eye. Her songs resonate globally, inspiring covers by acclaimed bands like @khruangbin. Googoosh does not only represent nostalgia for the Iran we lost, but is also an inspiration for the Iran we are fighting to create—an Iran of freedom and equality, where women’s voices are amplified, not silenced, and where artists are celebrated, not persecuted.

“Iran is ripe for change. And if we fail to seize the moment—and I don’t mean inciting regime change, I don’t mean going in and causing, you know, a shift. That will happen organically. We need to stop saving this regime. That means no business as usual,” said actress, human rights advocate, and 2023 Sydney Peace Prize Laureate @nazaninboniadi at a recent CFR event. “I’m not talking about regime change. I’m talking about empowering the Iranian people. Fiscal and economic strain exists in Iran. Popular discontent, injustice exists in Iran. We need fissures at the top and the ruling elite, which is starting to happen. There are signs of it, but it needs to happen at a far greater degree. There is a unified opposition that is lacking, and that is really on us, and finally, favorable foreign relations. And so we cannot neglect that fifth point, which is that we do have a responsibility. The onus isn’t only on the U.S. and the West and the world, to tip that balance of power in favor of the Iranian people. But it plays a large part in creating that favorable atmosphere for a revolution to occur. So when we talk about regime change, we’re not talking about enforced regime change in the context of Iraq or Afghanistan or other places that we’ve seen. We’re talking about tangible steps that we can take to empower civil society inside Iran.” Watch Nazanin’s full conversation at the link in our bio. #Iran #HumanRights #ForeignPolicy #WorldNews
I look forward to speaking at the 2025 @TIME Women of the Year Leadership Forum on February 25, alongside extraordinary women who embody resilience and leadership. I’m grateful for the opportunity to amplify the plight of courageous Iranian women on this stage. Highlights from our session will be available on time.com after the event—stay tuned! #TIMEWOTY #Leadership #WomenOfTheYear #WomanLifeFreedom
We join a group of Iranian filmmakers who signed a previous statement condemning the Islamic Republic’s draconian new hijab and chastity law. This intensified oppression of women and girls now includes the death penalty.

Since their arrests in separate cases in August 2023, both have revealed being tortured and otherwise ill-treated, including gender-based violence, and held in solitary confinement. Their trials were deeply unjust, and they are at grave risk of execution. In the aftermath of the #WomanLifeFreedom uprising, Iran’s authorities have intensified the use of the death penalty as a tool of repression and fear, including against women detained on politically-motivated charges.
