Pandemic rise in domestic violence worsens plight of women in Iran
Stay-at-home lockdowns in response to the coronavirus crisis have led to a dramatic rise in domestic violence against women around the world so much that the UN calls it, “the shadow pandemic.” In Iran, however, lack of virtually any form of government support for low-income and impoverished families as well as the absence of any authority to attend to the victims of domestic violence have accentuated the impact of the shadow pandemic.

The regime incompetence exposes people to coronavirus threat
While the Iranian regime continues funding terrorism in the region, most of the Iranian people have nothing to eat and must leave their homes to make $6 a day for their families. This is what Ali Khamenei and Hassan Rouhani have imposed to the people: Risking to contract coronavirus just for $6!!!
This is just one reason the Iranian people want the overthrow of mullahs.

How Khamenei-linked foundation funds Iran’s terror group Fatemiyoun in Syria
In March 2020, the Iranian regime’s state-run TV channel, Ofogh, aired a program named “Javanmard,” in which the head of the Mostazafan Foundation (one of the richest foundations in Iran under Ali Khamenei) narrated his memories from Qassem Soleimani. Parviz Fattah said that Qassem Soleimani had asked him to pay the paycheck of regime’s proxies in Syria, the Fatemiyoun terror group. Parviz Fattah faced much criticism later from regime’s factions for revealing the regime’s secret issues.
This fact proves how the entire regime is working to fund terrorism.
