Iranian national volleyball team player Mobina Rostami posted on her Instagram account: “As an Iranian, I am truly ashamed of the authorities’ attack on Israel, but you need to know that the people in Iran love Israel and hate the Islamic Republic.”
She was reportedly arrested shortly afterwards.
One of the comments on her post came from an account associated with Iranian security forces, stating: “We will shove you in a bag.”
“Only God knows what fate awaits her,” her friends posted on social media.
A wave of support for Israel from Iranian athletes has swept through social media since the Islamic Republic’s unprecedented drone and missile strike on the Jewish state overnight Saturday. Past and current soccer players, the judo national team coach and many others have condemned the brutality of Tehran’s authorities and sought to distance themselves from the regime.
“We are Iran. We are not the Islamic Republic,” is the recurring slogan.

Israel does not have to attack Iran with bombs. Israel should drop in cartloads of guns and ammo in residential neighborhoods so that the people, like those in America by the 2nd Amendment, will have the means of over throwing a tyrannical government.
