Iranian lawmaker vows to oppose what he calls a 'coup'

Iranian lawmaker Mahmoud Nabavian said in a post on X that in what he described as the “farewell” to the “martyred Imam,” he and others would stand against what he called a “coup.”

Nabavian accused critics of using what he described as “thuggish” tactics, saying such behavior, which he said involved repeated lies, had historical precedent in Iran and was being repeated today.
