A deaf street sweeper in District 4 of Tehran is serving at the site where a missile struck. He himself is a war veteran, and many of his friends were killed in the war. He hopes for the destruction of Israel.


I’m Persian I’m not Muslim

Our world will be screaming by the end of April. The effective Hormuz closure by the Iranians is akin to seeing the flash of a distant explosion, but only hearing it after a delay. In the coming weeks, the world will not just hear, but feel the first of many shockwaves that will upend all that is predicated on the free flow of commodities from the Gulf. This will affect billions of people.

I was asking someone about this and they said a huge disincentive was perception (rightly or wrongly) that the Iranian diaspora was pro-war so as a result people didn’t really know what to say. The few highly visible rallies that have taken place were supportive of the war initially



🚨BREAKING: #Iran arrests woman accused of #Mossad ties after she thanked Netanyahu & Trump for strikes, calling explosions "charming." Now in tears: "I made a mistake, I’m just a kid... didn’t know I’d be arrested." Regime set to execute her shortly. #Execution #Breaking


Today was one of the most horrifying days of my life as an academic. Walking through Iran University of Science and Technology, a top-ranked public university in Iran, I was struck by the devastation. Only last month, this campus was alive with students, bustling between classrooms. Now, parts of the campus lie in ruins, classrooms shattered, hallways choked with dust and shattered glass. I saw the offices of professors burned. A newly renovated building, where students gathered for programs, for socializing, for life, destructed. One student, tearfully, told me: “My professor’s office was still burning a little. That’s where I used to wait for office hours. To ask questions. To appeal my grade.” This is the same university that launched Iran’s Omid and Zafar 2 satellites, symbols of homegrown technological achievement. A week ago, one of its professors was assassinated. Yesterday, they bombed it. From sanctions to targeted killings, to the bombing of research centers and universities, there’s a clear pattern: de-development & de-industrialisation/ the systematic dismantling of a nation’s indigenous development, its industrial base, its capacity to stand on its own. We will never forget that as the American and Zionist war criminals blatantly target universities, schools, hospitals/ assassinating professors and killing children, and after 2 years or genocice, western intellectuals are still debating whether or not to pass a symbolic, non-enforceable BDS resolution. Photos taken by me, full report incoming.
