"Overthrowing this regime is not possible except with unity and empathy. Let’s leave the differences for the election polls. The only thing that matters now is how to get rid of this bloodthirsty and criminal regime. And I believe we will succeed." ~ Dr. Shirin Ebadi, Nobel…
سرنوشت ایران و همه ما به این بسته‌است که بتوانیم علیرغم اختلاف عقیده برای همدیگر حق حیات قائل باشیم!
Hitting hospitals is a major crime, no matter who does it -- Be principled and condemn this act of aggression by the Iranian regime
BREAKING: The biggest hospital in southern Israel was directly hit by an Iranian missile
I want everyone to see this because the West has dehumanised so much of our identity across the Middle East for centuries. They’ve been made to believe we come from nothing more than desert tents that flap in the wind. We come from culture. We must humanise our region and people.
This city is being bombed by Israel
#ایران در جنون ایدئولوژیک دو دیوانه در حال ویران شدن است.
“Negotiate with America right now”, activist in Iran who has defended our country relentlessly in the past few days against Israeli strikes
هرچه سریعتر با آمریکا مذاکره کنید. آمریکا شوخی بردار نیست.
Israel’s attack on Iran and Iran’s retaliation are already claiming civilian lives. Stop defending one side’s “rights” while ignoring UN Charter violations and the killing of innocent people. The world needs less hypocrisy—and more respect for diplomacy and international law.

It is #PersianGulf, you know it, we know it, everybody knows it! #Persian_Gulf #PersianGulf
The Persian Gulf has been recognized as such by international bodies for centuries, and politically-motivated attempts to rename it will never succeed. Donald Trump needs to stop trying to rename bodies of water and focus on doing his job.
The name is #Persian_Gulf and it always has been. We strongly object to any attempt to distort this historical name for political reasons. For decades, NASA and other global scientific institutions have consistently referred to this body of water as the Persian Gulf — a name…
