Iranian Women Show Real Courage Risking Their Lives Standing Up to the Radical Islamist Regime

The Iranian women are risking their lives standing up to the radical Islamist regime.  Their courage is unfathomable.

This woman, pictured above now known as the iconic “Smoking Persian Girl”.

This young lady risks her life showing her hair in public. The regime will abuse her, break her, and then kill her.

I agree, the women in Iran are heroes.

These women have real courage.

These women face punishment and even death for showing their hair.

This is the brutal reality of life for women under the Islamic Republic in Iran. A woman in Tehran sent me this photo of her scarred back, flogged for the “crime” of showing her hair. Yet, she refuses to be silenced.

Holding a Woman, Life, Freedom slogan, she took this photo as a powerful act of defiance, declaring:
“The morality police arrested me for resisting their van. My ‘crime’ was unveiling. After months of court hearings, I was sentenced to 74 lashes. The cleric overseeing the punishment stood there to ensure it was carried out. I won’t give up my fight against this brutal regime, but we are fed up with living as prisoners in our own homeland.”

Her scars tell the story of oppression, but her courage speaks of a revolution.

This is a barbaric law, this is terrorism. How is this different from ISIS?

Pray for Iran and the beautiful Iranian women.

  1. Sadly, it seem millions of American women want to go back to being control by wacko communists. Look no further than NYC!! Will we see every woman wearing a Muslim coverup within the next 4 years?? Would not surprise me…
    ,

    • Talk about a "patriarchy".
      They're foolish to think that they can "control" the situation.
      Their thoughts are…
      "Communism only failed in the USSR/E. Germany because there was a US."
      "Islamic states only fail because there is a US. Just wait until we get in charge."

  2. And think, Dems LOVE this country and its repression of women. After all, it's an Islamic country where "nothing bad ever happens", at least according to the Dems.

  3. May the good Lord protect these brave, beautiful women of Iran & swiftly guide them & their families to lives of freedom.

    • Few things are worse than old slang that aged out fast.

      But bad old slang used to prop up girl power at this point in history?

      • I got it. You are an intellectual who enjoys the ability to out intellectual all other intellectuals while your unaware that you got your thumb up your ass and being laughed at. I would suggest you go back to the planet Karen.

    • What does this proposed feminism in Iran have to do with MAGA?

      I guess toppling Iran like toppling Venezuela will prop up the petro-dollar as the reserve currency of the world for as long as we can borrow more money to fund more military.

      But feminism is evil; even in Iran.

      • Take off the blinders and stop isolating it into a feminist issue. Venezuela and Iran are not feminist issues.

  4. Can we make a deal with Khomeini? All the Iranian women who want to leave Iran will be swapped with left-wing women from the West. If he doesn't take the bait immediately, we'll tell him he gets two for one. Are you still stalling? Well, we'll raise our offer, and you get them all.

  5. They need help to turn the country back to the way it was pre 1990. We left them once I hope Trump dosnt.

  6. Their Evil Government run/controlled by Evil.
    I hope/pray they gain their freedom and it's NOT just temporary.

  7. After 1970s, all girls heard about was "how it used to be."
    Iranian women took it on the chin after the Shah was ousted.
    Finally, they can grow some ovaries and stand up for what is right and free.

  8. Living in a backward, Stone Age Muslim country is way more dangerous to your health than smoking a carton of cigarettes a day. (metaphorically speaking.)

  9. And the women are very good looking as well. Let's send our white ugly lezbos to ayatollah and get those Iranian girls here.

  10. In the 1970's Iran went through what the USA is going through now. They were protesting IN FAVOR of islam. Yes, all of those lefty loonies WANT sharia law in America, as insane as it is.

    Well the Iranians quickly found out what that stone age cult is all about once they took over in 1979. Now all these years later they are fighting to free themselves, and I hope they do.

    Lesson for America: Don't Go There in the first place (duh!!)

    ALL peoples who hate America should be deported, Even If Born here. GET THEM OUT. Their only goal is to destroy America and enslave anyone who is left after that.

  11. The crazy thing is that more and more women are open to wearing and embracing hijabs in America.

    Just recently the Lt. Governor of Minnesota was cosplaying a hijab. Perhaps she wants a beating….

  12. She's not even in Iran. Look at the video. The traffic light. The type of cars on the busy road. The overflowing trashcan with the hefty bag. The buildings. Come on now.

  13. The dems and dem media re silent because they want freedom for the Iranian people while President Trump is president. They would rather the people stay in bondage.

  14. TousiTv is a must visit for those interested in what's actually happening in Iran or that which is non-covered by the BS LSM. Mahyar Tousi does an excellent job of infoming.

  15. In one part of the world, Iranian women are risking their lives to overthrow a vile, vicious, brutal dictatorship of Islamic Republic of Iran while in the republic of the United States radical women are defending corrupt, vicious radical left state and municipal regimes. Go figure!

  16. There are UNCONFIRMED, UNVERIFIED, UNCORROBORATED RUMORS flowing out of Iran that the Ayatollah Khamenei has been "killed by rioters and rebellious troops."

    The RUMOR is going around Iran like a wildfire – but it is just RUMOR (for now.)

    In a total internet blackout, disinformation spreads fast. Claims like this require independent confirmation from multiple credible sources.

    Until then, treat with caution.
    -Hal Turner

  17. Iranian chicks are hot.
    I saw a 2 hour special about Iran several years ago.
    They are smart and industrious people, ruled over by brutal maniacs.

  18. Look how beautiful she is (cigarette notwithstanding). Most people aren't aware but Iranians (aka Persians) are from the same lineage as Europeans, linguistically and culturally (culturally before the Arab/Islam invasion). They have so many beautiful women that are shut away and covered from head to toe and told to feel ashamed of themselves. It's a sin akin to making Scandinavian women wear burkas (Except Gretta Thunberg, she should wear a burka).

    • That little Hobgoblin Greta should have been thrown into a burlap sack with some rocks and thrown into the North Sea 20 years ago.

  19. For 50 years I've been expecting Muslim/arab women to get fed up. I figured there was going to be a night of knives and castration that will be talked of for centuries to come. The Night of the Bobbiting. It still might happen.

    • hasn't Iran suffered enough?

      There aught to be a international travel ban to keep Woke white women from traveling to Iran, or anywhere else, for that matter

  20. American women should take notes on how one can be modest, brave, and beautiful… all at the same time.

  21. That’s one beautiful young woman. I hope the regime falls and the people of Iran can live life as they choose. Good luck to them.

    • Maybe Iran can become westernized, and this young woman can start showing her butt hole on OnlyFans for money. It's ridiculous to believe that Iranian culture and restrictions are worse than our pedo/homo/porn culture that Jews have given us.

  22. Oh joy! The tobacco companies dusted off Edward Bernays old playbook and now link poisoning your body with standing up against tyranny. I'm so thrilled https://media2.giphy.com/media/v1.Y2lkPTg5OGZmOWM5ODJmeTk4aW9mMzZmbzBxYWIxcnV4engwMGlhbzd2OHBvZ2hpa2I0ZyZlcD12MV9naWZzX3NlYXJjaCZjdD1n/jmL3I1l8BDPGM/giphy-downsized-small.mp4
    Yes, I know people have a right to do that and prohibition doesn't work, but it's a stupid way to give the Iranian regime the proverbial one-finger salute. If anything, you should want to live longer to be a bigger headache for these people.

  23. The big story is the ~blog story headline~ above on how Mike Benz found documents linking Ryan Routh to the State Department.

    If he keeps digging he will find all of the connections to a high ranking republican family that lives in Texas

    While beautiful Persian women are nice. It's obscuring the color revolution behind the scenes , and the Trump struggle against it.

  24. These women are true Feminists!
    They understand the real meaning of sacrifice, of defending their right to speech, their right to gather together and to have their own God!
    I hope the "feminists" in America take note. Maybe see what real oppression looks like and support these women in their struggle.

  25. Mainstream media have after 2 weeks started reporting on Iran but not what is really at the heart of the trouble and pushing a new narrative including by an Iranian woman in the UK on GB News. Always ask if they have sources that can be confirmed and if they have a credible track record and you are unlikely to get an answer. That tells it all.

  26. God bless these Iranian women for having the temerity to stand up to the fascist Iranian ruling elites.
    They have more guts than any American leftist.

  27. I hope the Nazi-like soldiers killing civilians are executed as war criminals! Trump is getting ready to bomb the sh*t out of them, and hope the killing stops! Power to the patriots!

  28. Trump is more popular in Iran than in the US, but he now needs to deliver on his promise to punish the regime shooting and killing people in the streets.

    • US has been punishing Iran severely for years. Guess you missed the piles of sanctions and the US hijacking Iranian tankers. The current riots are the result of US punishment causing economic harm. Your choice. A few dead Iranians at the hands of Iranians or a huge number of Iranians dead from US bombs. Or worse yet a war, or just a few days dustup, and dead Americans and Iranians. Or just let the Iranians work their way out of this situation.

  29. Without a doubt their beauty if comparable to that of Conservative/Republican woman as opposed to Liberal/Democrat women, many who look more like men than women.

    No doubt angry because they cannot find mates while refusing the girlie men in their own Party.

  30. As usual a font of misinformation. Iran relaxed the regulations on women's hair. There are plenty of u tube videos of Iranian malls, the largest mall in the world is in Tehran and its 4 times larger than the Mall of America, and if you bother to look at recent ones lots of women with uncovered hair. Lots of women walking alone or in groups of women and no males present. Couples holding hands. Lots of women with cell phones. Burkas are rare. Women are being allowed to work. All right there for your eyes to see. Go look at recent ones. On the whole if it wasn't for the ethnic features of the people it gives the impression of a middle America mall especially the way men are dressed.

    Many believe Black Friday is an American thing. Not so. A few months ago some Tehran malls had lots of signs inside and out proclaiming Black Friday in English. Lots of English in the malls. Malls and shops overflowing with product.

  31. Meanwhile, in America, foolish white liberal women scream about "equal rights" and then don head scarfs and burqas "in solidarity with muslims" – too dumb to realize that islam enslaves women and most of them would be beaten and executed for opening their mouths.

  32. These women have real courage.

    They have had courage and continue to have courage in spite of bloody suppression by the dictatorial regime during past and present protests.

    Obama turned a blind eye and cold heart to their suffering and chose to give almost $2 billion in cash to their oppressors.

    Hoping America doesn't stand idly by and let them get crushed again.

    • As long as they don't act like progressive 'liberal' women of the West, like that crazy woman in Minneapolis.

  33. Not really impressive unless she and her pals are doing that for real to the racist, vile mullahs instead of their photos.

  34. Brainwashed stupid KKKommunist dem idiots are on the side of the Iranian authoritarian dictatorship regime as told by our KKKommunist dem operative psyop FAKE News msm and are too stupid to know it.

  35. Viva la libertad !
    But for the love of country – do not follow in the steps of militant, aggressive, frustrated, 'liberal' women of the West.

  36. Bravery? If current government goes on full rampage, declares some form of martial law the situation, bravery disappears along with people…sad.

  37. Still trying to make a mountain out of a molehill. If this were Gaza most of you would be wanting to kill them all.

  38. Dear Gateway Pundit; this was probably inadvertent, but I appreciate you putting this story right next to the crying Portland cop. Kinda highlights his idiocy even more.

      • The Leftist women in this country usually have some sort of grudge against our society. They join these protests to show their angry and get even with the system. In Iran, these women have experienced the results of this harsh religious rule. Women accused of adultery are stoned. Gays are thrown off roofs or hanged via construction cranes. You are so right —- they haven't a clue and yet they are impossible to reason with.

      • Maybe you are the one with no clue why the women long for men to stop being abused and bullied by them?

        It's pretty desperate when your women are joining islam to be abused because you refuse to be the Patriarch of your family.

      • This is upside down ! Maybe a great huge trade could be arranged ,ALL These fat nasty pink haired karens for 5 million 15 -40 year old Iranian woman !

    • THE SHA WAS A WESTERN PUPPET!!! BETTER LIFE, IN WHAT WAYS? YES/NO!!! SOME YES, BUT ENOUGH NO TO HAVE THEM REVOLT AND OVERTHROW HIM!!! BUT THE REPLACEMENT JUST AS BAD, JUST DIFFERENT WAYS!!! BUT THE FACT IS THAT AS HORRIBLE THE PROCESS, THEY MUST SOLVE THESE ISSUES FOR THEMSELVES!!! NO GOV IS PERFECT, BUT WE MUST STRIVE TO HOLD THEM ACCOUNTABLE TO BRING US CLOSER. IN TRUTH, UNTIL JESUS RETURNS FOR US, THINGS ARE NOT GOING TO BE WHAT GOD INTENDED FOR US!!!

      • Look at the era, the shah was undermined by the Soviet communist nonsense. Look what that got them.
        The communist here keep driveling about inequity, yet aside from community organizing don’t produce anything. They want to use their rhetoric to gain government control of all industries and institutions. Hmm, smells like fascism. Yet they they call anyone in opposition to them fascist. DUH!!

        • I AM SURE THE SHA HAD GOOD POINTS AS WELL AS BAD. BUT EVERYTHING YOU POINTED OUT IS ABSOLUTELY ON TARGET IN THE PRESENT AS MUCH AS ALL THE MANIPULATORS OF THE PAST!!! AND THIS IS WHY WE MUST NOT GET INVOLVED AND THE IRANIAN PEOPLE MUST RISE UP TO SOLVE THIS FOR THEMSELVES!!! NOT WITH OUTSIDERS TELLING THEM HOW!!! IT IS A HARD JOB WITH MANY SORROWS!!! SORRY ABOUT THE CAPS, BUT I AM MAD!!! JUST NOT AT YOU!!!

      • You're a fool.
        In modern free societies, there are obvious negatives, but the people are free.
        Explain how "different" the Shah was became better under the current regime. You can't bc it pales in comparison to the atrocities of a tyrannical theocracy where there is no freedom.
        I double dog dare you to move to any country like this.
        If male, you could probably get by enslaving the women with your patriarchy.
        But if you utter a negative word against the regime, you're dead.
        Don't even think about being gay or a fake woman.

        • WELL IDGIT!!! I HAPPENED TO HAVE LIVED THROUGH IT!!! AND ALL ITS AFTERMATH!!! I DO NOT SEE THE SHA AS ANY GOOD!!! JUST THAT THEY TRADED BAD FOR WORSE!!! AND ONLY IRANIANS CAN FIX THIS!!! SO BLOW OFF!!!

    • Yup, all of the elders need to break out as many photos as possible showing what life was like before 79. The greater population has no idea how modern and free life was prior to being ruled by the Mullahs.

    • The exile crown prince of Iran may or may not be the person to lead Iran when the current brutal regime is overthrown. I just hope for the sake of the good people of Iran and the rest of world that that a competent, ethical, honest leader emerges.

    • The people were much different before that. I knew them and shouldn't surprize anyone that they went to the radical path and changed everything. The people were prospering

    • islam is toxic to women, in fact, it is toxic to humanity. John 14:6. Christ is The Only Way to God, The Father.

    • Where are the American Feminists supporting this revolution that will give freedom to all Iranians?? Silence —— Continues silence —–

    • Probably they paid this actress to pose for this picture and then they created a narrative based on a posed for pic.

      Most of the women there are probably 5's when ours are internationally adjusted 6's. You have to go to Northern Europe to get 6.5's average. Eastern Europe are 5- until you get to certain parts.

  39. Can we swap out the women in America, we'll send all the White Skull Screwed so called Liberal women to Iran and take their women in return. Seems like a great trade, Trump may want to look at this deal?

  40. Can we exchange our liberal white-women Karens for these lovely Persian women?

    The Muslims can have our fat, entitled, tattooed, nose-ringed, purple-haired lesbians, and we'll take (quoting Alexander the Great) those [Persian] women who are torture for the eyes.

  41. Why There’s No Starlink Access During Nationwide Shutdown in Iran?
    January 9, 2026
    Solmaz Eikdar

    Despite reports that tens of thousands of Starlink units are operating inside Iran, the blackout has also reached satellite connections. Internet researcher Amir Rashidi told IranWire that as nationwide protests began, military-grade jamming signals were detected targeting Starlink satellites.

  42. Iranian women get it… more freedom please. American women seek to censor and impose their ideology on others. If it's not mandatory, they want it made illegal.

    • Yeah, if she wasn't there would be less sympathy among western males. Since there is snow on the ground she's probably in Canada.

  43. Iranian chicks are hot.
    I saw a 2 hour special about Iran several years ago.
    They are smart and industrious people, ruled over by brutal maniacs.

    • I've met several Persian women here in central Ohio over the years, all refugees who escaped Iran. Just flipping gorgeous, each one of them.

  44. I hope the best for the Iranian citizens that promote a positive change to their country, and I hope they succeed.

  45. Yes, these women are brave.
    Before the Internet, I had a house with 3 Persian (they refused the word "Iran") housemates who gave me my first Qu'ran after a lecture on hygiene techniques that was prompted by an argument at my own dinner table where they called me an Infidel for using my fork in my left hand in the typical Continental style of eating.
    "Fanatics" is the mildest term you can use for Muslims.

  46. Wow and she's not even aLesbianPOS Like in the USA white KKKommunist dem women are. Well not all white women though.

  47. I'll make a bet with you about which happens first. The Ayatollah is in Russia, or Israeli bombs are dropping on Iran.

  48. Yeah, that's not what's happening. The protests, which were mainly about the economic policies of their leftist president, have been diminishing. This led the most radical elements, led and funded by the usual foreign benefactors, to become more violent to try and spark more protests. They got the violence they provoked and things have gotten more under control as of Friday morning, leaving another attempt at a color revolution to overthrow the regime a failure.

    And this is very much about getting Trump involved in another war for Israel. Because this isn't the United States, it's little Israel.

  49. Yeah, I prefer more sensible reports. All of these articles about Iran on TGP have all come from Joe Hoft, who has made it clear over the years he will say just about anything for the cause of Greater Israel. And your comments are the usual nonsense we get when Israel wants to involve us in a war, which you openly admit you are doing also. The only thing missing from your comments are the Iranians burning babies in ovens because no one would believe babies are protesting. And who would bring their children to a riot? And begging Bibi to come save them, who is an avowed enemy of Iran, would be the equivalent of leftists in this country asking China to attack the United States. It's all nonsense you're peddling.

  50. Im sorry but these Iranian women are absolutely gorgeous!!! This is why the men make them cover the faces. They are beautiful.

  51. If you kick a dog long enough and often enough it will either bite you or run away. These Iranian dog are in the biting mode.

  52. The lead photo is an Iranian woman living abroad in Canada. If you bothered to do some researcher, she fled Iran over a year ago.

    She is brave and its a great photo, but facts do matter.

  53. Here in the US women won’t even defend themselves from men taking over their sports, bath and locker rooms. Even when a man was named “the first female admiral in our history” American women said nothing.
