"When the United States and Israel launched their illegal war on Iran on February 28, they called on the Iranian people to rise up. They then proceeded to bomb not just military targets, but civilian housing, universities, schools, hospitals, commercial buildings and historical sites."
"In the fall of 1980, when Iraq invaded Iran, I was a 20-year-old student at Tehran Polytechnic University and a member of an opposition group. The first time I saw the impact of war firsthand was in October of that year."
"Suddenly, the thunderous shots of air defence systems shook the ground and lit the sky with blue, orange, yellow, and red rays of light. The sirens went off. I had never felt so fearful, helpless, and disoriented."
"As people began running in fear, the Iraqi bomber circled around, and the chaos of the moment underscored the terror that civilians faced during the war."
Trump and Netanyahu are compared to Saddam Hussein, both harboring dangerous illusions. The U.S. and Israel's military actions against Iran have caused significant destruction, targeting not only military sites but also civilian infrastructure. The echoes of past conflicts, particularly the Iran-Iraq war, resonate with many Iranians today. Personal experiences from the war highlight the fear and chaos faced by civilians, illustrating the profound impact of such conflicts on individuals and society as a whole.
