Amid growing internal tensions, thousands of Iranians have taken to social media to voice their anger at the regime in Tehran.
Using hashtags like #NoToIslamicRepublic and #FreeIran, users are posting images, videos, and personal testimonies criticizing the country’s leadership, corruption, and oppressive policies.
This latest online wave comes in the wake of the regime’s crackdown on protests, censorship of independent media, and worsening economic conditions. Many users, particularly the younger generation, are defying strict internet surveillance by using VPNs and encrypted apps to bypass government controls.
Images of women burning hijabs, men tearing down posters of Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, and viral videos of chants calling for regime change have gained traction both inside and outside Iran. Some posts are even openly calling on Iranians to rise up and reclaim their country.
Despite the regime’s efforts to silence dissent — including arrests, internet blackouts, and intimidation — the online resistance continues to grow. Many exiled Iranians and activists abroad are amplifying these messages, pushing for international attention and support.
The digital revolt highlights the deepening disconnect between Iran’s authoritarian rulers and a population increasingly unafraid to demand freedom and justice.
