We Are Someone’s Dirty Work
“Love In Tehran” © Jan Oberg “We are someone’s dirty work. And by “us,” I mean Iranians actually living in Iran. It doesn’t matter what group you think you belong to or what you believe; at the end of the day, our lives are just a resource for someone else’s agenda. We are the currency […]

Failing Solidarity: How Cultural Prejudice Shapes Leftist Narratives on the War Against Iran
