I spoke to @The_NewArab Voice last week about what's next for the international community on #Iran. I talk about how we failed to use leverage to improve human rights, democracy benchmarks, and a positive platform to support democracy in Iran. https://tinyurl.com/y65es9je

To international media:

1) abolishing morality police in Iran is disinformation but it shows the fear of the regime.

2) Regime’s empty promises are a sign of desperation that the uprising continues

3) People are united in their demand for an end to Islamic Republic
