Amid escalating Israel-Iran tensions, Iranian expatriates in Germany express a mix of hope for political change and deep concern for family back home. Some see Israel’s military actions against the Iranian regime, known for human rights violations, as a potential catalyst for change. However, there is profound sorrow over the violence affecting civilians, including women and children. The conflict intensified after Israel launched a surprise aerial campaign aimed at curbing Iran's nuclear ambitions, resulting in numerous fatalities on both sides, deepening the emotional turmoil for those in the diaspora.
"On the one hand, Israel's actions are specifically directed against the Islamic government, which is itself known for its brutal methods. That gives me a certain hope."
"Many are caught between hope for change and horror at what is happening right now."
"At the same time, I naturally mourn for the people of Iran. When women, children and now scientists are killed, I find that morally very disturbing."
