It reminds me of when your friend, the art museum director in Tehran, wrote "my heart broke with sorrow" after that encounter with the young Basij security guy.
I'm afraid the "cult of death" exists outside Iran, one fears to look at statements by the secretaries of war and defence in U.S. and Israel.
As Arundhati Roy said not long ago, "I stand with Iran," meaning the people, the land, the trees, the culture, the entirety of the place. War is just devastation.
Sending you a big hug Naghmeh joon. Thank you for your beautiful post.
