António Guterres I'm Iranian and I just like to say fuck off. Just shut the fuck up. We don't need your empty words. Go to hell.

I’m up in the middle of the night and am about to go back to sleep. But seeing the news of this pilot being rescued after one of the most daring rescue operations in history has me motivated beyond belief. To the media and the haters who’ve been obsessed with palace intrigue
