Reposting some treasured photos I have taken on Jewish life in Iran.

Outside of Israel, Iran has the highest number of Jews in the Middle East.

Earlier today, a strike in Tehran turned a synagogue into dust, manifesting once again the viciousness of war.

In this short video, I explain what drove yesterday’s court decision targeting the CHP leadership, why it is happening now, and what it means for Turkey’s political future.

A few key points:

• The ruling could pave the way for the return of former CHP leader Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu, who lost every major election during his 13 years at the helm of the party — precisely what makes him a convenient opponent for Erdogan.

• Erdogan knows he can no longer win genuinely free and fair elections. And he realized that jailing Ekrem Imamoglu was not enough, because Ozgur Ozel kept pushing back relentlessly, holding more than 100 rallies across the country.

• But this is about more than consolidating power. The CHP is not just another opposition party. It was founded by Atatürk, the founder of modern Turkey. By throwing the CHP into chaos, Erdogan is also trying to weaken Atatürk’s legacy and the powerful connection the party still has with millions of Turks.

• The days ahead will be extremely difficult for the CHP. But things may not unfold as smoothly for Erdogan as he hopes. Listen here 👇
