We are not your mirror, definitively not. Pezeshkian, after ordering the death of protesters, squeezed by the Trump wind, lamented the climate of protests. It is this kind of manure that received Guterres' congratulations.

Just when you think the ceiling of shamelessness has collapsed, here comes another load of mortar: the UN Secretary-General's office sent a message of warm congratulations to Iran on the 47th anniversary of the Islamic Revolution. Congratulating the beginning of an indeterminable savagery is bad enough, but congratulating it warmly is superlative. You must read it twice, and sitting down, to believe it and not fall over. The so-called Revolution, which took place in 1979, transformed Iran into a theocratic Islamic republic ruled by the dictator Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini.

Ayatollahs do not deserve written, personal or virtual hugs. Names change, but that hell remains the same. While people in Tehran and other cities took to their balconies on the night of 11 February and shouted slogans that capture their feelings towards the scum that rules the country with a bloody hand — Death to Khamenei, Death to the dictator and Death to the Islamic Republic, António Guterres helped blow out the candles on the cake celebrating a date that marks oppression, repression, the funeral of women's rights, the burial of rights, autonomy and individual and collective freedoms.

With his blunder, which provoked many, the spokesperson conveyed his boss's message that the message sent to Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian was merely a ‘routine diplomatic gesture’ and a protocol followed uniformly for all Member States and therefore should not be interpreted as an endorsement of the policies of the Tehran regime. They take us for idiots. Perfect idiots. We are not their mirror, absolutely not.

Pezeshkian, after ordering the death of the protesters, squeezed by the Trump wind, lamented the climate of protests. It is this kind of manure that received Guterres' congratulations. The Secretary-General of the United Nations, during the tragedy unfolding in Iran, greets, salutes and congratulates the anniversary of the most criminal regime and the most dangerous enemy of the free world.

Soon, the former prime minister of the swamp, who always wants to appear demanding in his compliance with democratic rules, always with his finger pointed in favour of the unprotected, in defence of the innocent and victims, says that the congratulations he gave to the president-elect in an ordinary façade democracy do not alter his position of condemning violence and calling for respect for human rights in Iran. He should ask, yes, but in a different way and manner. The affectionate greeting is at odds with the deep internal crisis, where crimes, the result of state cannibalism, have reached inconceivable levels. January saw seven thousand deaths and 53 thousand arrests. For 47 years, this revolution has fed on the blood of Iranians murdered for not aligning themselves with the despotic cave completely isolated from the world. Another source of nourishment is the destruction of Israel and the Jewish people, and to carry out the plan, blinded by nuclear power. But that no longer matters to the UN Secretary-General, because genocide only appears to him in visions of Gaza. If he cared, he would not bow down to the Ayatollahs, he would not ignore executions, he would not turn a blind eye to censorship, and he would be tough on Iran's involvement in terrorism. Guterres' congratulations represent a contradiction between diplomacy and the absence of human rights in Iran, legitimising the monstrous, despicable government that shoots those who side with civilisation and courageously shout for freedom in the streets controlled by thuggish police.

One can add to the sewn mouth on the left, the institutions of false feminism and the parasites of the flotillas that only sail to save Palestinians. They do not save Iranians.
