Today, American dancer, singer, actress, and social media influencer Montana Tucker released a poignant video honoring the fortitude of Iranian women fighting the oppression they face from the tyrannical Tehran regime.
In the video, initiated and produced by the Combat Antisemitism Movement (CAM), Tucker and members of the Israel-based Shiraz Dance Ensemble perform a dance to promote and celebrate solidarity between Iranian and Israeli women.
Interspersed throughout the video are images and information highlighting Iranian women who have stood up to the ayatollahs, often at the cost of their lives. These women include Mahsa Amini, Nika Shakarami, Ahoo Daryaei, and Parastoo Ahmadi.
The video was filmed in Jaffa, Israel, and with the dance choreographed by Iris Delshad Maymon.
“This is dedicated to the women of Iran who stood fearlessly in the face of fanaticism and brutality to fight for their basic human rights,” Tucker said. “Iranian women must be supported in this fight. Israeli women, too, know the brutal impact of this regime and its proxies.”
Since its release on Tucker’s social media channels earlier today, the video has gone viral, drawing the attention of millions around the world to the ongoing plight of Iranian women.
Among those sharing it was Noor Pahlavi, the eldest child of former Crown Prince of Iran Reza Pahlavi and granddaughter of the late Shah of Iran Mohammad Reza Pahlavi.
Pahlavi is a prominent gender equality advocate and a leading anti-regime voice.
The project was coordinated by CAM Public Affairs Officer Natalie Sanandaji, a Persian American Jewish woman who survived the Nova music festival massacre on October 7th. For Sanandaji, the initiative was deeply personal.
“Under the shadow of the Islamic regime, the women of Iran are not just battling for their rights — they are fighting for their lives,” Sanandaji said. “For too long, their voices have been silenced, and their basic liberties denied. Yet, despite the brutality they endure, they continue to resist with inspirational strength.”
“The unity between Iranian and Israeli women is a testament to the power of human solidarity,” she added. “By standing together, they show that freedom is a universal desire transcending traditional religious, cultural, and political divides.”
CAM is engaged in ongoing efforts, led by Sanandaji, to educate people across the globe about the evils of the Tehran regime, which is the largest purveyor of antisemitism today and actively seeks, through its own actions and its support for regional terror proxies, to destroy the world’s only Jewish state.
Over the past year, CAM has organized a series of webinars and other programming and campaigns to expose the Iranian government’s horrific human rights violations, amplify the voices of Iranian women around the world, and mobilize the international community to stand with the Iranian people against their dictatorial leadership.
Particularly in the aftermath of October 7th, the genocidal threat posed by the Iranian regime to its own citizens, the Jewish people, and humanity as a whole can no longer be ignored.
This is the third dance video Tucker has created with CAM. Last year, Tucker released “I’m a Survivor” — honoring the Israeli hostages remaining in Hamas captivity in Gaza — and “We Can Dance Again,” dedicated to the memory of the 364 young men and women murdered at the Nova music festival. The videos garnered tens of million of views across various social media platforms.
