In France, despite 150 police officers being wounded, not a single protester has been killed.
Because no government opens fire on its own people—except for the mullahs.
In Iran, nearly 40,000 people were killed during just two days of protests in January2026- 8th and 9th - bloody days

Guys, Schumer said a thing in January2026.

He has to implement that plan in January 2027.

That's just the rules.

Has the electoral environment changed in 10 months?

That doesn't matter. Schumer said a thing so no matter what he will do the thing.

Remember, nothing is allowed to change.

Children did not create Iran’s political conflicts, wars, economic crisis, or uncertainty. But they are living with the consequences.

Their losses today will shape Iran’s future tomorrow.

Iran is a party to the Convention on the Rights of the Child. Documenting these cases is a first step toward accountability.

This vocal expertise was needed in January2026.

Hindsight is 20/20.

Are there any sharp tools in the shed?
