Iran was never incompetence.

What looks like failure is design.
A system built on ideology doesn’t correct, it shifts cost and continues.

Misreading isn’t analysis.
Negotiation isn’t diplomacy.

Statement by Sharif University alumni: We condemn attacks on Iran’s civilian infrastructure, incl. healthcare & universities. Targeting institutions like Sharif & Pasteur Institute violates international law. Silence is unacceptable—stop these war crimes. #IranWar‌

[Leyla Mirmomen @leylamirmomen]

The targeted, intelligent war has turned into anger-driven, reactionary escalation...

Striking infrastructure only pushes the burden onto civilians, leaving ordinary Iranians caught in the crossfire.

[Leyla Mirmomen @leylamirmomen]

Watching #IranWar and seeing the scale of the regime’s survival strategy from weapons, missiles and drones to proxy networks,
Makes me wonder what #Iran could have been if those resources had been invested in building the country instead.

[Leyla Mirmomen @leylamirmomen]

This is not the moment to tear each other apart arguing war or no war.

The harder question is how we got to a point where war felt like the only option left.

#IranWar

[Leyla Mirmomen @leylamirmomen]

It is heartbreaking to see
my home country damaged.

Infrastructure built with the people’s resources, destroyed.
Civilian lives, at risk.
An entire region, destabilized.

Why is the world order so broken
that even the hope of freedom
comes at such a devastating cost?

#IranWar

[Leyla Mirmomen @leylamirmomen]

Again, there are arguments forming for and against war.

But the main question remains unasked:

Why, despite all our progress and all our institutions, do we still turn to war to remove an authoritarian regime and its threats?

If this is the only path, the system is broken.

@defense_civil25 Another crazy angry moolah.

[Leyla Mirmomen @leylamirmomen]

Right now, I have so many mixed feelings, fear, worry, and HOPE.

I’m worried about my parents, family, and friends in Iran.

I’m afraid this war could drag on, wear people down, and hurt them.

Yet, I have SO MUCH HOPE that this could be the beginning of a new, liberated #Iran

[Leyla Mirmomen @leylamirmomen]

I’m hoping for the day when all of us #Iranians can live normal lives and have normal worries.

[Leyla Mirmomen @leylamirmomen]

This is the end.

It’s infuriating that this crisis has been reduced to nuclear talks.

And even worse is watching the regime’s 20-year strategy of strategic delay still working.

@FT This isn’t about Trump demanding concessions, it is about addressing the root cause of problem ignored For years as the world avoided confronting fearing another Iraq.
But managing the symptoms didn’t bring peace, it made the regime bolder.
It is time for real action.

[Leyla Mirmomen @leylamirmomen]

@FT Sure, he could have ignored it, like the rest of the world has for years.
But confronting the root cause of Middle East instability was never going to be painless. Avoidance is easy. Strategy isn’t.

@joeroganhq He is an amazing human and scientist

[Leyla Mirmomen @leylamirmomen]

@WSJ Every operation has risks but doing nothing at this point carries a much bigger ones.

[Leyla Mirmomen @leylamirmomen]

@TheEconomist Strategic delay is this regime playbook.
Stretch every crisis until the world accepts their survival.

[Leyla Mirmomen @leylamirmomen]

@FareedZakaria @RichardHaass The only solution for peace in the Middle East is removing the regime that has invaded Iran.

[Leyla Mirmomen @leylamirmomen]

And yet, indirect U.S.– #Iran nuclear talks continue.

What I don’t see in this equation is the voice of the Iranian people.
