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 🧵
— Matt Tardio (@angertab) June 20, 2025
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.

This is crazy:
2. Homosexuality
— Matt Tardio (@angertab) June 20, 2025
Gay men can be executed; lesbians face 100 lashes.
Even suspicion can result in arrest or forced confessions.
Even suspicion.
Read that again, Lefties.
3. Blasphemy
— Matt Tardio (@angertab) June 20, 2025
Insulting the Prophet or sacred Islamic figures = death.
Includes online posts, art, or speech.
4. Adultery (Sex outside marriage)
— Matt Tardio (@angertab) June 20, 2025
Married offenders can be stoned to death.
Unmarried: 100 lashes. Applies to men and women.
5. “Corruption on Earth”
— Matt Tardio (@angertab) June 20, 2025
A vague charge used against dissenters, protesters, or activists. Often results in the death penalty.
No wonder so many Iranians believe they are already at the point of no return.

Muslims caught drinking: 80 lashes per offense.
4-time offenders risk execution.

Punishment: Prison (up to 10 years), flogging, fines, surveillance.
Eff this.
8. Criticism of the Supreme Leader
— Matt Tardio (@angertab) June 20, 2025
Even memes can lead to arrest.
Public dissent = 1–10 years in prison.
Meep.
Thank God we're in America.
9. Same-sex relationships (non-penetrative)
— Matt Tardio (@angertab) June 20, 2025

Oh, Hell no.

— Matt Tardio (@angertab) June 20, 2025
No service = banned from travel, jobs, and university.

— Matt Tardio (@angertab) June 20, 2025
Criticizing Islam or the regime online = prison, asset seizure, surveillance.
Welp, we'd be screwed.

20. Baha’i Persecution
— Matt Tardio (@angertab) June 20, 2025
Baha’is can't hold government jobs, attend university, or practice freely.
Arrests for “propaganda.”
