Khuzestan is the heart of Iran’s oil industry. Videos from Ahvaz tonight show thick smoke engulfing parts of the city after today’s strikes. Whether the targets were oil facilities or military sites, the environmental damage and public health consequences could affect civilians long after the bombing ends. Ahvaz is a city where major oil infrastructure and some military facilities are located within or near densely populated urban areas. That makes the principles of military necessity, distinction, proportionality, and precautions under international humanitarian law more critical than ever. Without clear evidence that those standards were met, the U.S. is moving dangerously close to the line of potential war crimes. After months of expanding strikes across hundreds of locations in Iran, both countries are drifting further from diplomacy. The mood in Tehran is not that military pressure will force the government to yield. From what I see, the dominant view is the will to raise the costs of war on the Trump admin as much as possible, increasing the risk of an even wider and more destructive war… almost five full months into a war that was supposed to last 4-6 weeks…

Outrageous. More than “700 girls have been poisoned by toxic gas in Iran since November.” 1000s of parents are shocked and extremely disturbed by the Islamic Republic’s incompetency to stop this and protect schoolgirls from these #ChemicalAttacks. And this is how a an authority violently attacked a mother, who is just worried about her daughter. #حملات_شیمیایی

Inhumane. Ruthless. Lethal violence. A young woman beaten by plainclothes forces. As Iran’s internet slowly comes back online, more footage of what happened during the protests is emerging. The scale of the tragedy is far greater than what has been reported so far. #IranMassacare

In this 6-minute clip from Narmak, Tehran, at least 262 gunshots are heard—scenes resembling urban warfare. A wounded person is dragged into a police station; bodies appear to be collected. They may have the guns, but they’ve lost the ppl: a losing battle.

This video feels like a love letter to Tehran, to everything it holds: the beauty and the chaos, the warmth and the weight, the memories that don’t leave you even when you’re far away. It captures a city that lives inside you, even as everything outside feels uncertain: war, ceasefire, silence, disconnection. With the internet cut off for weeks, with difficulties of reaching out to reach family & friends, this has become a kind of a window to home. When you can’t call home, you hold onto whatever reminds you of it.
