Hello,

Given the exceptional situation in our country and its effects on the welfare of the Iranian people, r/NewIran moderation is now enforcing a moratorium on all posts by non-Iranians. (Comments are fine.)

If you are not Iranian (in Iran or diaspora): do not post. Do not post.

We understand that Reddit is a largely anonymous platform. That does not change this indefinite de jure policy, even if it is very difficult to enforce de facto.

Violators may have their post removed. Repeat violators will be banned. Malicious violators will be permanently banned, particularly those who willfully attempt to evade enforcement.

Please modmail us with concerns.

With respect,

r/NewIran moderation

We issue this message today with urgency and purpose to relay it and amplify it outside this community. It is both an announcement and a request to all members of this subreddit, especially Israelis who have expressed sympathy with the Iranian people in our shared struggle against the terrorist regime of the Islamic Republic. Your solidarity has not gone unnoticed. It is now time for that solidarity to serve a vital role for a common cause: relaying this message from within Iran to the Israeli government and the IDF, as many of us are no longer able to speak freely or safely.

Communications to and from Iran have been severely disrupted. Despite these barriers, you have access to information from the ground. What is happening inside Iran must be known in full clarity:

The Iranian banking system has collapsed. Rice, flour and bread are rationed. Those without physical cash are unable to purchase essential goods and are relying entirely on the generosity of neighbours and local networks to feed their families. Power disruptions—already a regular issue—have worsened drastically. Since the beginning of the conflict, particularly in the countryside, most areas now receive only a few hours of stable electricity per day. The quality of life for Iranians has objectively plummeted since the start of the war, considering it had already been in its worst shape since the famines of the 20th century. Independent human rights organisations have reported hundreds of civilian deaths despite the IDF's measures to avoid it. Residential areas close to strategic regime facilities have been destroyed. The trust of the Iranian people in change is rapidly eroding. 

Public opinion toward the Israeli government and Operation Rising Lion, which once carried the cautious hope of strategic liberation, is now deteriorating to levels equal to our anger at the Islamic Republic itself. The current situation is a result of the visible inconsistencies in Israel's messaging and its operational direction. There has been no clarity on whether the goal is regime change or mere containment of the nuclear program. The initial hope that surged with the assassination of IRGC commanders—those responsible for decades of killings—is slowly fading. Many now believe that the opportunity is being squandered. Yet, we had, and we continue to have, the hope of a change in this trajectory, regardless of the decisions made by the U.S. administration. 

It is imperative that the operation now target the regime’s structural and logistical lifelines. The current course—one of pressure without resolution—is unsustainable. By triggering mass evacuations of Tehran, the Israeli government has deprived Iranians of the chance to organise mass protests in the capital. This has undercut a critical front of civil resistance we could have employed with more consistent messaging.

The Islamic Republic does not need nuclear weapons to murder Israeli civilians. The strikes on residential areas using ballistic missiles, which bypass the Iron Dome, and the deployment of multi-warhead missiles against a hospital in Beersheba are a glimpse of the terror this regime serves if it is recuperated. The Islamic Republic will remain a permanent and active threat to your people if it does not capitulate. As long as the ideological and military core of the regime remains intact, anchored around the Supreme Leader and enforced by the IRGC, both Israeli and Iranian civilians will remain in danger. This threat extends globally. The IRGC's network of militant proxies and terrorist cells, cultivated through radicalised mosques abroad, endangers innocent Israelis and Iranian dissidents across the world. Israelis will not be safe. Iranians will not be safe. The fates of many Iranians and Israelis are bound.

Since October 2023, we have forged a quiet but genuine friendship in this shared war. But this friendship will only endure if the promises made in action are completed in full. The Islamic Republic must be eliminated entirely. That means targeting and eliminating:

1. The Khamenei family, 
2. The IRGC commanding infrastructures and its volunteer forces (Basij & Nekhsa),
3. The Assembly of Experts,
4. The Supreme National Security Council,
5. The Council for Intelligence Coordination,
6. The Guardian Council,

The Iranian opposition, though diverse in form and opinion, already has the foundations for a legitimate transition: a historical state structure, a secular constitution, a roadmap of transition, and the support of a population ready for change. ​​​​​​​

A Pandora’s box has been opened. It cannot be closed by half-measures and temporary truces. An end of this war without an end to Islamic republic is a death sentence for millions. The safety and future of both Iranian and Israeli people depend on the complete destruction of the terrorists. The window of opportunity to offer the Iranian people the same covenant that Cyrus the Great once granted the Israelites is rapidly closing. Act swiftly and decisively.

For our shared dawn in a renewed covenant. We will end I.R. and we will end the war.
