Now that the Internet has been opened up again for all Iranians, stories from the dark days of the war and its aftermath are trickling in. I am going to start an on-going thread to document some of the ones that come across my feed (1)

[Waheed U. Bajwa @SigProcessing]

Commencement season is here, and with it the usual cycle of silencing voices that stand up for human rights. This one hits close to home: @RamiElghandour is an @RutgersECE alum who was set to speak at @RutgersSOE Convocation. I publicly call on @RutgersNB to reverse this!

@KushaSefat If only there were any academic organizations devoted to the study of Iran that could condemn and widely disseminate statements and information about the bombings of Iranian educational institutions...

Ever wonder what the Nakba looked like?

[Yara Elmjouie @yelmjouie]

How a viral image of Israelis cooking in the house of a Lebanese family displaced by the Israeli army is lowkey a ritualistic reenactment of the Nakba.

As always, an honor to speak to @gazamom :

Israel killed every single person in this photo in Lebanon.

Every. Single. One.

All journalists.

Targeted and assassinated intentionally.

For reporting the truth from the frontlines.

[am @aamoosavi]

Absolutely. Please take a look at @MESA_1966's position on the destruction of educational institutions in Iran by Israeli and American bombs.

[Niki نیکی @niki888]

Thank you @CAF4MESA for this letter. It is a shame that Iranian Studies @AIS_1967, an org I belong to and on whose governing council I served, has yet to issue anything similar

[CAF @CAF4MESA]

Our letter to U.N., E.U. and U.S. officials expressing urgent concern about Iran’s educational and academic institutions becoming a frontline in the U.S.-Israel war against the country.

آدم‌هایی که دیابت دارند بدون انسولین می‌میرند. پفیوزهایی که اقدام اسرائیل برای زدن صنعت دارویی ایران را توجیه کردید بدانید که این داروها تولید داخلی می‌شد و جان مردم را نجات می‌داد. حالا ایران کمبود دارو دارد و آدم‌ها در اتاق عمل و صف انسولین و صف شیمی‌درمانی خواهند مرد.‌

سالهاست کاری کرده اند گه اگر شما بگویید تهران زیباست به انکار کودکان کار متهم شوید. اگر بگویید جایی در شهر اتفاق خوبی افتاده است به این متهم شوید که رنج هزاران نفر را سفید شویی می‌کنید. انگار نمی‌شود مثلا از مترو تهران راضی باشید اما از مدیریت شهری ناراضی. راه بسیار طولانی برای تغییر این خشمِ کور به فرهنگ مدنی.

So, a couple of the boys have been texting me: “Why the hell would Trump drop the Hormuz blockade bomb on a Sunday? It’ll send oil screaming past $120, maybe $130 if the algos really panic. Makes zero sense if you actually want cheaper barrels.”

But it makes perfect sense. Beautiful, even.

See, Tokyo and Hong Kong are already humming by the time the East Coast is still nursing its coffee. Those futures pits—Dow, S&P, the whole equity complex, plus Brent and WTI on the screens—never really sleep. You’ve got fourteen, fifteen hours of runway before the New York bell. Plenty of time for the right hands to lean in: long the indices in Hong Kong, short the crude in Tokyo, riding the fear wave as the blockade tweet lights up every terminal from Singapore to Sydney.

Then, right on cue, before the U.S. opens, comes the pivot. Something about “there’s regime change in Tehran,” “we can do business,” “Talks were Good,” the usual art-of-the-deal baloney. Markets whip around like they’ve been Tasered. Oil gives back the spike, stocks rip higher. The boys in Asia unwind clean, pocket the spread.

A few hundred million, maybe more, conjured out of thin air on the back of one perfectly timed Sunday morning post. Not bad for a morning’s work. The Street’s been running these kinds of games for decades: information, timing, leverage. Just never quite so… presidential!!

[Sarayu Pani @sarayupani]

It’s shocking how openly and repeatedly the Western media tells you that they simply don’t consider brown people to be human.

Among the first casualties of this war were 160 Iranian schoolchildren, but it takes a lost US pilot to bring a human dimension to the slaughter?

یک مصاحبه مهم و شنیدنی، به‌ویژه برای کسانی که به ایران اینترنشنال گوش می‌دهند و گفته‌هایش را باور می‌کنند....
باز هم درود بر کار مدنی.

درود بر کاوه مدنی.

[Robert Malley @Rob_Malley]

Two takeaways from Trump's speech:
1. That so many still pay attention to what he says, which has no link to reality or to what he might or might not do; 2. that he so cavalierly threatens war crimes (to bring Iran back to the stone age) on behalf of an unlawful & unjustified war

My heart is in my throat reading this. Our children are being used as test subjects for new American weapons with fancy acronyms, their lives cut down by a spray of tungsten pellets from the air that later analysts will describe as an "impressive" display.

Harvard faculty report that they've had to "trim some readings and drop others entirely, switch from novels to short stories, and that it’s difficult to keep assigning reading in the face of increasing student complaints."
