Iransplaining

When non-Iranians speak over, dismiss, or reinterpret Iranian voices and lived experiences—often while positioning themselves as more informed or authoritative on issues that directly affect Iranians.

“Every time Iranians share what’s happening, some “activists” jumps in to correct them with headlines they barely understand. That’s straight-up Iransplaining.”
