"I think it is appropriate now to declare that I oppose my brother's actions and I express my sympathy with all mothers mourning the crimes of the Islamic Republic, from the time of Khomeini to the current era of the despotic caliphate of Ali Khamenei…Ali Khamenei's Revolutionary Guards and mercenaries should lay down their weapons as soon as possible, and join the people before it is too late.”

------ Badri Hosseini Khamenei, Sister of the Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, December 7, 2022
