Biggest difference: This is for régime change, NOT for reform. Anybody saying otherwise is either oblivious or a pundit!

[mitradelaney]

[sirvktor]

I'm in love with every single one of them for being so brave and standing up to the dictatorship.

[rezaresali]

Iranian people want regime change please support them and don’t negotiate with government of Iran

[hpersian]

✋✋To all People of the free countries!✋✋


Please contact and ask your politicians, representatives or senators to recall your ambassadors from Iran, dismiss the ambassadors of this illegal regime, and cut any connections with them! This is what we need! They are not our representatives! Don’t deal with our murderers!

The islamic regime is killing iranian people. Please help the people. Women. Life. Freedom #MahsaAmini

[janinecaramanus]

Good for you. Never give in to such ridiculous demands on free soil.

[aradjefferson]

From an Iranian to the rest of the world: We need your help. The regime is torturing us and killing us day by day. 😢 Please go on demonstrations in your countries against the Iranian regime. Make your politicians do something about this.

This is a wrong impression that iranian women are protesting only just for obligatory hijab.
Iranian women prostest peacfully for women's rights ;Human rights ; a democratic Iran.
Iranians want a new goverment at peace with the ; they want independence for a prosperous Iran.
Thank you for covering Iranian news.

[paradisecolors]

The headscarf is part of the movement, but please prioritize "Human rights" and of course women rights which is human rights, and the fact that people are saying "Why Mahsa Amini" and so many other innocent people including youths, children, women, and peaceful protestors are being arrested, tortured and killed, just because the don't agree with Dictatorship, and they are standing up for their basic rights? Please help protect their rights and safety

[Alexkian]

Majority of the Iranian people don't want the Islamic republic regime of khamenie the criminal dictator who has ordered killing of many innocent Iranian people.

[tarabara]

Ms. Amanpour, you understood WRONG! People care about what gov is leading. They are chanting "down with Islamic Republic." It's not only about personal freedom bit also about political freedom, freedom of speech, etc. Why are you downplaying the movement?

[jasperangel]

Fan here in the Philippines 🌴 and I'm supporting woman in Iran and their freedom and change of leadership..

[lovejesus]

these people hate women, torturing them different way it's an entertainment for them.

[farhama]

Iranian people and Islamic regime have a huge cultural difference.
As an Iranian woman, I tell you that our protest is not about Hijab. We want a regime change. Please Do not downsize that.
Even if we do not succeed this time. we will try it again and we will succeed next time. As you see there has been a new uprising in Iran every couple of year, and each time we become stronger and stronger.

[parsoumash]

Due to 43 years of crimes against humanity tbh.

If you care take sanction off!

It’s interesting that all countries care for the women rights and hijab 🧕 but,

They want Iran 🇮🇷 oil!
