A massive attack targeted Mehrabad Airport.
This is the same airport where my parents once worked, and the airport I departed from many times growing up in Tehran. Watching it under attack is deeply personal.

Jacqueline Saper, an Iranian American activist lived in Iran during the revolution of 1979. She recalled the sight of bombings and how distressing that was. A similar feeling arose when she learned an airport where her parents formerly worked was bombed. https://t.co/ZqIQKE3aDx

A thread about something beautiful.

On our last vacation, our daughters made friends with two other amazing girls. We began to hangout with their parents, Kevin and Rachel. Rachel introduced herself by saying that she was an artist.
