When you look at this thread of actual laws in Iran, it’s hard to believe anyone would defend this country, and yet, we’re seeing it on the Left and even, sadly, on the Right. Maybe they all need a refresher on what this country is really like under Islamic rule and Sharia Law.
If you know someone defending Iran, send this their way and encourage them to read it.
Seriously.
20 actual laws in Iran 🧵
1. Apostasy (Leaving Islam)
Punishable by death, especially for men who publicly renounce Islam. Women can face life in prison.
These laws are real. This isn’t history — it’s Iran in 2025.
