The Emails
On March 1, the day after the U.S. and Israel launched their unprovoked war against Iran, the Virginia Defenders wrote to an old friend in Tehran and asked if he and his family were OK. The following are his response to our request and each email we have received from Habib, telling the story you won’t hear from the corporate media. We hope they will inspire you to speak out loudly and demand an end to this senseless, murderous war.
March 2, 2026Hello, Phil
thank you for asking how I am. Google cut off my email without any warning. My family and I are healthy for now. A big war has been started by the corrupt people of the world against the innocent people of my country, but here we march under the bombardment every day. Please do something "wrong" by spreading the protest against this war.

Night fifty‑three of the war.
It’s Tuesday, ten o’clock at night, and I’m standing in Palestine Square, Tehran. Here, as on all the previous nights, people have gathered with their flags. Tonight might be the last night of the ceasefire with America. But what makes this evening different from all the others isn’t talk of war or peace.
Tonight, a bride and groom have chosen to hold their wedding celebration right here — in this crowded square, among the people. Everyone is clapping, cheering, and waving flags. Both wedding songs and stirring war anthems fill the air. Some of the women from the families of the bride and groom have replaced their usual black street chadors with the colorful ones traditionally worn at wedding gatherings. The joyful trills and shouts of the women rise together in the night. Truly, people have blended life and war into one fabric. My grandchildren are a bit confused—they wave their little flags to every tune, whether it fits or not. In any case, I wish the newlyweds happiness and peace.
Let’s hope that tomorrow, Trump’s and his friend Netanyahu’s planes, with the sound of their bombs, will not wake this bride and groom on the very first morning of their new life together.
Life, war, and nothing more.

Day Forty-Six of the War
Tonight, Wednesday, I decided to go to another rally site with my granddaughters and family. It has been exactly forty-five nights and days since the people of Iran, in all cities and villages, have not left the streets. They have also taught the people of other countries, who are targeted by Trump in future invasions, the method of struggle. Now the people of Cuba and Turkey also know how to deal with Trump.
Once, in the early days of the Iranian Revolution, Ayatollah Khomeini said, “A nation that has martyrdom will never have captivity.” This widespread acceptance of this idea among the people requires faith in God and non-material calculations. Throughout their history, the people of Iran, from Imam Hussein to Arash and the heroes of the Iran-Iraq war, have shown that they possess this in their mythical consciousness.
If I am asked who I love more than life itself, I would surely say my two granddaughters, Zainab and Fatemeh, due to their childlike innocence. However, on a night when Trump threatened to destroy the infrastructure and civilization of my country, they and my entire family, along with the infrastructure, remained in the severe cold. If my country were to be destroyed, we would all, with this sacrifice and offering of our lives, avoid living in subjugation under people like Trump. We learned this lesson from Imam Hussein. This is how one can confront the spread of corruption by these individuals, even with empty hands.
Tonight, everyone is talking about the manliness of Pope Leo in confronting Trump, and some are even holding his pictures. Trump never envisioned such days, even in his worst nightmares, where the Shia nation of Iran, in opposition to him, would hold pictures of the leader of the world’s Catholics and unite with him.
Throughout these forty-six days, my family and I have tried to minimize the war trauma for my granddaughters. Even in those moments, we were thinking of the suffering of all the people of Gaza and Lebanon. Perhaps the biggest difference between us, the people of Iran, and the rest of the world is that we have become self-sufficient due to sanctions, which has allowed us to stand on our own feet, neither aligning with Russia nor China.
I feel sorry for the leaders of most Arab countries in this regard, as they are considered servants and are excessively humiliated by Trump. The people here take pride in their dignity in this struggle and therefore have no fear of Trump’s foolish threats of siege against their country. After all, a country that has been under sanctions for over forty years will either find a way or build a way. But what will the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, and Kuwait do, which have proven so far to have lived in glass rooms and on soft pillows?

Day forty‑four of the war – Sunday.
For years, Sundays have been the busiest day of the week for me, with the highest number of classes. Today I had an online reporting‑writing class. The downside of these online classes is that you can’t see your students face‑to‑face to become friends, build trust, and really connect.
Today I sent them a historical research file about a very controversial journalist named Mohammad Masoud, which I had written about thirty years ago after eight months of research. I asked them to read the text carefully and send me their thoughts after finishing it.
This journalist lived during World War II. In his articles, he cursed the Shah heavily, and the name of his publication was “Mard‑e Emrooz.” He was assassinated during that time, and the entire crime was blamed on the royal court. But after the Islamic Revolution, it became clear that the assassin had been a communist officer from the Tudeh Party who intended to frame the Shah.
However, the more interesting point is that in my article I show that Mohammad Masoud himself, by writing sensational articles about influential and wealthy individuals, used to extort money from them in exchange for stopping or not continuing those articles. He was a deeply corrupt man.
Most of my students are shocked by these documented facts, and within just a few pages, their views about historical figures easily flip from hero to anti‑hero and vice versa. When, at the end, their opinion matches the conclusion of the article and they call Masoud the worst kind of person, I still remind them that my article might be entirely false and the documents forged. Why should they trust me without doing their own investigation?
And then I tell them the key sentence: “History is only a story that someone wrote before you did.”
In the end, I asked them to send the text to fifty people among their family and acquaintances, gather their opinions too, and then use all those viewpoints to develop ideas for writing a documentary or feature‑film script based on this report. All of this should be presented next week in the following class.
After class, exhausted, I checked the news. Once again Trump said that Iranians have nothing but drinking water, and that they want to impose a total blockade and close the strait. He described the foolish operation of sending two of his navy ships during a ceasefire and while negotiations were taking place in Islamabad as a great military victory. I’m attaching the real footage of the U.S. ships below.
The number of Iranians registering to be sent to potential war fronts in the Persian Gulf reached over twenty‑two million in just one week—three times the population of Israel. How exactly Trump plans to stop the passage of Chinese and Indian oil tankers after they coordinate with Iran at the Strait of Hormuz is unclear.
In short, this madman’s plan, from which he hopes to benefit in negotiations, is only suitable for wandering real‑estate brokers who deal with one‑time customers, not a permanent neighbor like Iran, which has watched his lies and tricks from the shop next door for a lifetime.
These foolish remarks are made for the sake of influencing Western financial markets the next day, and for media audiences and those who still think America’s priority in Trump’s policies matters.
The failure of the negotiations didn’t upset anyone around me. Because Wence couldn’t, in just twenty‑four hours of talks, become the fake hero who delivers a peace agreement that should resolve more than forty years of hostility—something that might save him from defeat in the upcoming presidential election.
Being Trump’s vice‑president is enough for any reasonable person to feel repulsed by him.
Now I’m heading out to help with the children’s art exhibition and film screening.
By the way, has the U.S. government’s investigation into the Minab school massacre and the killing of 168 children reached you yet? As one friend put it: even if the report had been sent through the smoke signals of Native Americans in old Hollywood films, it would have reached every person on earth and even the mountaineers on the summit of Everest by now.
The crimes of Western governments always seem to matter less to the media than the price of a gallon of gasoline.
By the way, Iran’s national wrestling team became the absolute Asian champion in both Greco‑Roman and freestyle in Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan. Mr. Trump says our civilization is destroyed, yet the Iranian people themselves don’t seem to know it.
In the end, I think that when there is a gap between a person’s true intentions and their actions, figures like Mohammad Masoud—revolutionary‑looking, anti‑establishment, yet deeply corrupt—could even rise to become the leader of a country. Isn’t Trump, in a way, the Mohammad Masoud of America?

On the 43rd, late Saturday night, I am sitting on the street behind a painting booth, and they are showing the cartoon movie "Yuz Panlang Iranian" to the children. I am also writing this daily diary for you and maybe writing history. There is also a psychology booth next to me, which helps various people who visit them to talk about how to relieve the stress of war from their souls. Maybe it is selfishness, but I don't know why I consider most psychologists to be mentally unbalanced and in need of more treatment than their clients. If you are also a psychiatrist, forgive this rudeness and think that this is another person who should have visited you by now and hasn't. Today I visited the University of Arts, where I teach. Several important universities have been bombed so far, but our university hasn't yet. Maybe Israel knows that nothing to threaten it will come out of this university. I quickly took the book ( And Then What ) by Catherine Ashton, the former EU representative in the previous nuclear negotiations, off the shelf and read the part about Iran. It was interesting, but more interesting was a memory that Saeed Jalili, his Iranian negotiator, had shared in a public meeting in Iran that was not in the book. Jalili said that one night in the middle of negotiations in Europe, Ms. Ashton escalated the matter by threatening sanctions. I told her, Ms. Ashton, our people have been suffering from sanctions for years, from medicine to everything else, and it makes no difference to a drowning person whether there is one meter of water above their head or ten meters above their head, but if the people of Europe increase the price of gasoline for a maximum of two months and only two dollars, they will destroy your democracy. Ashton did not answer me right away, but during the break between the two meetings, while having tea and on the lawn, she approached me and said, "You are right." And these sentences were exchanged twenty years ago, and the West did not understand this issue. What is more, now that the Vice President of the United States, as a country that has used the atomic bomb twice in Pakistan, which itself illegally built an atomic bomb, wants to force Iran, which has never built an atomic bomb, to stop peaceful nuclear enrichment. They don't want to understand that fighting is just bullying, especially at a time when even with the military defeat in this new war in the Persian Gulf, America's constant scare tactic against Iran, which used to say like a scarecrow that if you don't make concessions in the negotiations, there will be war, has been foolishly and wrongly removed from their hands. As for the rest, I don't have time to read the book or even borrow it. So I'll leave it on the shelf. What use are these memories if we don't learn from history? Now that I'm writing this, the problem of the leopard has not yet ended for children, and people are still waving flags without caring about the outcome of the Islamabad talks. A Persian-language TV host and pro-Israeli said in his news program about the public gatherings in Iran these nights that they each took two million tomans from the local mosque and then came to the demonstration. My friend said, "What idiots are these people whom Netanyahu has made happy?" Well, if people believe this, more people will participate in the rallies to get money, and then they will realize that they are lying, that I said that they are very and badly upset by these night gatherings and that they are telling these lies to people outside the country. The number of people who have registered to voluntarily attend has reached more than two million so far. I have a university class tomorrow, but I will stay on the streets until at least 1 am.

On the 40th day of the war and the night of the ceasefire, on Wednesday evening, people gathered in groups with Iranian flags and started moving from the city squares to gather on bridges and power stations. Women, children, and even patients in wheelchairs were seen among them. I took my two daughters and grandchildren and some blankets and went to one of these power stations. The crowd was so large and everyone was upset by Trump's words that he wanted to destroy Iranian civilization. There is a saying among Iranians that says that God always chooses our enemies from among fools. Saddam was fooled by the royalist propaganda and attacked Iran. This is what the then Iraqi Foreign Minister said in his interview with Al Jazeera at the start of the Iraq War, when he was present at a meeting in which Saddam and the generals of the Shah's time, on behalf of Farah Pahlavi and Bakhtiar, the last prime minister of the Shah's regime, told the Iraqi dictator in Baghdad that attacking Iran was like having fun and taking a walk in a deserted park because the entire army of this country had been destroyed by the revolution. And Trump repeated this foolishness in being fooled by Netanyahu and the monarchists. Until the dawn and the declaration of the ceasefire, my grandchildren and I stayed under the blanket in the cold of the night. We had all come to perish for our country. All together, at the hands of the most evil and most psychotic people in the world. Netanyahu and Trump. Nowhere in the world are the good and the bad so different from each other. At the same time, a video was being circulated among the people in which a reporter asked Trump if the Iranian people had gathered on the bridges and electricity infrastructure of our country, and Trump, panicking and saying like fools, that this was illegal and they shouldn't do this. Illegal! Is his war crime attack legal, and is it illegal for the main owners of these centers, built with their tax money, to prevent it? Suddenly, with the announcement of Iran's acceptance of the conditions, shouts of enthusiasm went up in the air. With the lightening and the official confirmation of the ceasefire on the radio and television, we returned home. The cold weather caused the eldest grandson to catch a cold, but it was worth it. All the news speaks of Trump's helplessness. This morning, after forty days without the sound of missiles and airplanes, I am lying next to my tired grandchildren. My family and I, with all our peace-loving and hatred of war, were just a drop in the ocean of people who stayed in the streets until morning so that the dirty hands of Trump and Netanyahu would not reach our country. Truly, God is greater than all the aircraft carriers and bombs for people who believe and have human morality in practice, not Hollywood propaganda. Our people have proven this to the world in these forty days of fearlessness. I try to sleep with my grandchildren, but it doesn't work. In this current silence without bombs exploding, I am mostly thinking and remembering the memories of my friends who were killed innocently with their families in this unjustified and aggressive war in a horrific way. Really, why?

The 38th [Day] of War Tuesday Supplement to the previous message After Trump's threats to destroy Iranian civilization and return the people of different cities of Iran to the Stone Age at 8:00 AM US time, these human chains were formed on bridges and next to power centers. These photos are of people gathering on the (White Bridge), the most famous bridge in the city of Ahvaz in the center of Khuzestan province. It must be believed and assured that this nation is no longer afraid of anyone except God. They are ready to sacrifice themselves with their children. The West never wanted to understand with all its research faculties that it is not possible to force and sanction a nation for years. This is the result of all these crimes in the history of all the presidents of different American governments. And this last one is not accepted even by its own people.

The 33rd day of the war, Thursday.
Today is Nature Day in our Iranian calendar, and on the 13th of Farvardin every year, all people leave their homes with their families and go to the deserts and mountains. Some plant trees and plants. And it is considered a day of celebration. For the sake of my two little grandchildren, I and my two daughters decided to go to Jamshidieh Park with all the risks and spend today with the children. We had just spread a carpet when the news came that in Karaj, on Trump's orders, two new bridges in Iran were destroyed and people who had come to the nature ceremony on the sides of the bridge were killed and injured. Lunch became bitter in our mouths. For three days, ordinary people have been registering on a site to defend the threatened islands, and the number has so far reached more than six million men and women. Yesterday and today, Iran's Pasteur Institute, after more than a hundred years of efforts to produce vaccines, was completely destroyed by American bombs. During the Corona period, this institute's Iranian vaccines saved our people, including me and my family, despite the sanctions imposed by the United States and Europe. I really don't know what the definition of a war crime is from the perspective of Western governments anymore. Before sunset, when I was returning from Jamshidieh Park with my grandchildren, we ate a zart over the fire together. How much in times of war and facing death, the taste of everything changes, even a simple zart

The thirty-second night of the war
is now nine o'clock in the evening, Iranian time. Iran has threatened that if even one assassination is carried out in Iran and a family is killed, it will target these companies in the region starting tomorrow night, due to the Pentagon and Mossad's misuse of American IT companies for widespread assassinations in Iran. It has asked all employees of these companies and their surrounding homes to stay one kilometer away from these centers. Israel and the United States have destroyed a pharmaceutical company in Iran that manufactures anti-cancer drugs, whose only crime was that it manufactured drugs for our people during all these years of sanctions. When I looked at the name of the company, I saw that I had been purchasing cancer drugs from this company for about a year for my wife, who died a few years ago. The morale here is getting higher and higher every day. Last night, I saw a woman whose eight people, including her children, husband, and son-in-law, had all been killed in an airstrike. She was holding a flag on her shoulder and walking firmly in the street, chanting slogans. This afternoon, I went to a large municipal grocery store with my two grandchildren to buy some chips and biscuits for them, but I saw that the street was closed and they said that it had been bombed and destroyed earlier in the morning. We had no choice but to buy some from a smaller store. When idiots start a war that has no strategy and they are only fooled by propaganda that they paid for themselves, this is the result. Killing civilians and destroying infrastructure. The arrogance of dictators in history has always backfired. Neither Napoleon nor Hitler cared about the cold and frost in Moscow. Saddam, like Trump, wanted to take over Iran in a week. These two fools also thought this was Venezuela. For those who do not seek material things and nightclubs at night, death with dignity is more important than stock market and oil indices. The power of Western material civilization comes from scaring other nations, which does not work here and for our nation. If I were Trump, I would take the expenses of this futile war from Pahlavi and Netanyahu until the last day. Now I'm posting a short video at the bottom of this page of the countless people on the street that I just took. And when I return home from the street late at night, I'll try to find and buy two different fruit-flavored candies for my grandchildren in a store to make them happy when they wake up in the morning. Believe me, these are the greatest joys of a grandfather these days. Seeing the sparkle of joy in the eyes of my grandchildren, of course, if the brutal bombings of those who were supposed to liberate us don't prevent me and my family from seeing the morning.

The twenty-sixth day of the war, Thursday. In the morning, there was no sign of planes because of the continued rain until the afternoon. When the clouds opened at dusk, the planes came again and bombed several places and the windows started shaking badly. My youngest grandson started spinning around and we all tried to distract him by clapping our hands. In his less than two years of life, he has experienced two wars in the true sense. And both started with cowardice in the middle of negotiations. The argument here is that the war should not be repeated again with Netanyahu's false ceasefire and rearmament, and that is why everyone is on the streets. After us, they will go to Greenland, Turkey, and... Another point is the assassination of officials, which happens every day. Iran has already gone through eight years of war and has immortalized four million people who volunteered to go to war during it. In those eight years, three major operations were carried out at a time, and many commanders were killed at each stage, and at each subsequent stage, lower-ranking personnel easily took their place, with the only difference being that they knew they would be killed like the previous commander, and for this reason, decisions were made more quickly and decisively. Now, the foolish enemy is taking a worse gamble by simply hitting Larijani and the commanders. Now, at ten o'clock in the evening, thanks to the spring rain, I am sitting in the shade of a pavilion in Tehran's Enghelab Square, which my daughter has decorated with their photos in memory of the 168 children of Minab School, and the little children are sitting around small tables and drawing. The drawings I look at are all about marches, airplanes, and bombs. I told myself that Trump has been building a historical grudge against American government officials in the hearts of Iranian children for years. And these are added to the previous grudges from interfering in the coup against Mossadegh, and from the Western governments giving Saddam Hussein chemical weapons against the people. Obama once said that knowledge cannot be bombed. Now he must add that no crooked load will reach its destination in the end. May God have mercy on the world from this gang that rules America.

On the twenty-fifth day of the war, Wednesday morning, the weather was completely cloudy. I took my two grandchildren and went to their grandfather's house. Everyone was talking about the stupidity of Trump's possible ground attack on Iranian islands in the Persian Gulf, and I was talking about the nationwide march "No to the King" across America next Saturday and perhaps its impact on Trump's warmongering policies. I had my eyes on these two innocent little girls, eight years old and less than two years old, who were playing with their grandmother without paying attention to the words. Everyone was saying that even after this stupidity, nothing would remain of the infrastructure of the United Arab Emirates, nor of the lives of the unfortunate American soldiers who entered this war without any reason or motivation. My heart ached for the American soldiers themselves and their parents. Every human being wants a reason higher than life for sacrifice, and I cannot understand how a human being can sacrifice his life for a president with his brilliant record on Epstein Island. It is late at night now and we have returned from a night march. It was dusk and in the middle of an anti-war demonstration when the rain started to fall very heavily. My two grandchildren are in bed next to me now, but from the way they are moving in their sleep, I understand that the sound of thunder is no less important to them than the sound of bombs. They may still be scared, but at least I know that these sounds are not the news of the death of an innocent family in every corner of this city.

The twenty-fourth day of the war, Tuesday, is now 11:00 PM, and my two grandchildren and I are on the street in the rain to defend our country, at least by demonstrating. When the Iran-Iraq war began forty years ago near my city of Abadan, I was only fifteen years old and had to defend my city under enemy siege for eight years. I was thinking how much war was too much for my age, but now I know that as a pacifist, if I don't go out into the streets with my grandchildren without weapons and demonstrate, Trump will soon force me to take up arms. This is exactly the difference between being a pacifist in America and the Middle East. You have to carry placards and demonstrate so that your country's military does not attack other countries unnecessarily, but unfortunately, carrying placards in our country does not stop your army from dropping bombs on our children. Regarding the Saturday march, "No to your king," in Iran, I will happily explain to all the people and even the media that there are such noble people like you in America. The rain has gotten heavier but people are not leaving the streets. Everyone here knows how much Trump and his friends profited from the fake news of the negotiations in the US stock market. It is ridiculous and shameful that the president of a country adjusts his speech to the opening and closing of financial markets and not to take care of the lives of people, even his country's soldiers. Where is the world going? I hope all the philanthropic people of America will participate in the No to the King march next Saturday.

On the night of the 23rd, Monday morning, at dawn, as the clouds thinned, the bombing began again. In different parts of the city, many buildings collapsed with ordinary people sleeping. They say that due to the long, unexpected day, the two warring countries have started using old bombs from five years ago and are allegedly using abandoned ammunition depots. This evening, Trump backed down from his words about opening up Iran's infrastructure and said that he would talk to Iranian officials on the phone tonight and perhaps they would jointly manage the Strait of Hormuz with the young Ayatollah Khamenei. How did this psychotic man really become the president of a country and how many times has his wife committed suicide because of this liar? We really need to pray for this unfortunate woman. People here laugh at all these statements. They only want one thing: to discipline these two madmen so that they don't attack their country again. These people are really sacrificing their wives, children and children for their country and they are not leaving the streets at all. Trump has said that all these gatherings are artificial intelligence and are not real. I think that the education and lessons in American schools should be revised so that a genius like Trump does not emerge from it again.

On the 22nd day of the war, Sunday
Trump said that he had given 48 hours to open the Strait of Hormuz or he would hit Iran's electrical infrastructure. This man is such a liar that even his allies don't know which of his words to trust. If depriving ordinary people of water and electricity is not considered a war crime, then what else would be considered a war crime? This evening, I took advantage of the cloudy weather that had reduced the air bombings and went to a children's playground with my two grandchildren and daughters, and I took them both on two swings there and their joy echoed in the air. How cruel the world is that these two children are deprived of any outdoor play. Last night, I listened to the translation of Netanyahu's speech, where he said that Christ had no superiority over Genghis Khan. It was as if Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, the leader of ISIS, was giving a speech. In fact, what he meant was that the humanity of a leader does not give him any superiority over a criminal leader. With this statement, Hitler could easily be exonerated in the Holocaust. People are still on the streets, even though it is the main annual holiday, Nowruz. I went to my brother's house with my children and grandchildren for a spectacular Eid.

On the 21st day of the war, Saturday, I went to the Eid al-Fitr prayer early in the morning. There was a huge crowd in the mosque where the prayer was being held. There were explosions and bombings in different parts of the city. Trump again claimed that he had destroyed the Natanz nuclear facility, which he had bombed and claimed to have destroyed in the previous war. This man really has a mental and psychological problem of being inferior, and AIPAC in America has understood this well. Tonight, as he had said before, Iran targeted the Dimona nuclear facility in southern Israel with hypersonic missiles. As the Bible says, an eye for an eye. And I wish they had not started this stupid war. It is as if we are living in apocalyptic movies. The only way to end this war is to pressure these two Western fools not to attack Iran again in the future. Tonight, due to the cloud cover, there are a few fewer bombings. But for someone whose house is hit by a bomb, even one bomb is enough.

Friday, the 21st of the war, last night until almost morning, people were still on the streets in all the cities. In the morning, Israeli and American planes bombed the city again. We were so tired with our grandchildren that we only opened our eyes for a moment. Today was the last day of Ramadan and the moment of the new solar year and the most important holiday for us Iranians. Exactly a few minutes before sunset, we all celebrated the new year in the main square of the city under heavy rain. Exactly under the fire of anti-aircraft defenses and the sound of bombs that were raining down on the city at that important moment, but this steely nation only chanted slogans. When the evening call to prayer was said, everyone hugged each other. If someone has access to an idiot named Trump, he should teach us a little about our culture, Shiite Iranians. Not those few Iranians who fled Iran fifty years ago and are now dancing abroad in the death of their compatriots. Happy Eid to you too. My dear elephant, I prayed for you and your family at the moment of the new year.

Wednesday, the 19th day of the war, a strange incident happened last night. Reza Pahlavi and the President of Israel each sent messages asking their supporters to come out to find an excuse in this conflict for more military intervention by the U.S., but with the presence of many ordinary people on the streets until morning, not a single one of them dared to show up and this plan failed. Since last night, they have been carrying out assassinations and destroying oil infrastructure in southern Iran. We truly have the strangest nation in the world. All those who are under round-the-clock bombing know that if they are not careful and do not stand firm, they will definitely be taken prisoner by the West.

Tomorrow is the funeral of the sailors of the training ship Dena, who were killed by an American submarine without warning while returning from a friendly mission with India, and Trump likened their killing to playing a computer game. Tonight, our defenses have fired several times over our heads at enemy drones, but nothing can be heard from the people except the sound of Allahu Akbar.

Hello Phil, thank you for remembering me. If you have any questions about the Russian journalist, send them so I can answer them. Of course, I don't know him, but your introduction is enough. On Monday, the 17th day of the war, heavy and bloody enemy bombings continue, but the people's morale is strange. Trump said that the images of the people's marches in the streets of Tehran and the cities were all created by artificial intelligence. The mind of a spoiled eight-year-old in the body of a president. What greater disaster could there be for the world? From dusk until now, people have been standing in the squares of Tehran under heavy rain and chanting slogans against America and Israel until morning. The enemy had counted on the opposition and their pouring out into the streets, but the opposite has happened. My daughter and two grandchildren have set up an exhibition with photos of the children killed in the Minab school, and people are lighting candles there with tearful eyes. Iran is right when it says that accepting a ceasefire without a guarantee that these two idiots of the world will not repeat the aggression is just stupidity.

On Sunday, the 16th day of the war, the planes started bombing the city again in the morning. I was lying next to my grandchildren who were sleeping and strange sounds were coming and they both opened their eyes and I said again with a fake smile that it was still a festive fireworks display. This was a lie that their mother taught me so that they would be less afraid and both innocent girls fell asleep again. The West has brought us this for years. A very repetitive story of war life and nothing else.

Thank you for all the efforts you are making for peace. I will describe your work to others here and under fire. On the 15th day of the war against Iran, two important Iranian islands in the Persian Gulf were attacked last night. And this was Trump's most dangerous new act that will expand the economic scope of the war. One of the biggest problems of Trump and the U.S. governments is not understanding the logic of the Iranian nation. He calls us terrorists. Were the September 11 attacks and one of the crimes of ISIS carried out by Iranian Shiites or by regional allies and servants of the West in the Middle East? How can a terrorist like Golani become an ally of the West with all those crimes? Yesterday evening, after the end of the huge march of the people across the country, the bombings began again. One of the crimes of these bombings is that they are two-staged, as happened in Minab School, the first bomb causes damage and after about ten to twenty minutes when the relief teams come to help, the second bomb falls on them. The ultimate cowardice of an army is to kill relief forces. This two-step tactic has been repeated over and over again. Many ambulances and crews are destroyed and killed. The second issue is that by killing the Iranian leader in this way, his charisma in the country has multiplied and the story of Imam Hussein's martyrdom has been repeated in a modern way, and this will cause trouble for the West over time. The third issue is that the Iranian leader has not had the slightest immorality in his life, neither financially nor sexually. You in the West do not know even one such politician in the group attacking Iran who is healthy. Some Iranian missiles have the inscription "In memory and revenge for the victims of Epstein Island" on them.

The 14th day of the war, people are now in a huge march. They have participated all over the country against the war and Trump and Netanyahu. The crowd is incredible, people from all walks of life are present. My two daughters and two little grandchildren were there too. Everyone here says that we will stand behind our country until the end. In the middle of the march, this bombing took place. Several people were martyred and injured, but the nation continued its march without fear and with more enthusiasm. I will leave you the video of the moment of the bombing below.
Peace Habib
Salam Phil
Thursday, the 13th day of the war, I am now in a mosque in one of the squares of Tehran, and one of the following nights the bombing has started again. From 10 pm tonight, Israeli and American planes are busy continuing the crimes, but it seems that everyone here knows that accepting a ceasefire again means repeating the same crimes in two months. So, one death and one wail. Tomorrow, a huge march is going to be held all over the country. We were attacked again in the middle of negotiations between Iran and America. Now it is better to understand why, except for a show of false peace, there has never been a real and lasting peace in the Middle East during these seventy years.

Salem phil,
Tonight, Wednesday, a report on Trump and Bibi's war against the people of Iran. At noon, people, fasting during the month of Ramadan, paid tribute to the commanders and ordinary people who were killed in the surprise war. So far, nearly three thousand Iranian civilians have been killed in this war, unexpectedly and brutally, in their homes. Suddenly, a six-story building collapses on its sleeping residents. I had read in history that the Americans never forgave the Japanese government for the surprise bombing of Pearl Harbor in World War II. And now, twice in the middle of negotiations between the United States and the people of Iran, it will remain in the memories and history of the world. I am only left wondering if Trump's wife has ever spoken the truth to him? It is quite clear from this woman's depressed face that she has not 😄. Below is the link to the English TV of Iran. Be sure to send it to your friends so that they do not hear the news one-sidedly. Really pray for us, Habib.

Now , rainy Tehran
This is Tehran's Revolution Square. The most dangerous spot that Trump has threatened to bomb. The people of Tehran are now holding Ramadan prayers in the streets under the intermittent rain and praying for the victory of their country. They think they have to do something to defend their country.

Today is Tuesday. Last night, Trump announced during his speech that his planes were simultaneously bombing Tehran. Perhaps only Hitler would be so proud of his crimes. He hit a leader who was a staunch opponent of building an atomic bomb and never made the slightest move in this regard. Trump falsely claimed that the Minab school, which killed 168 young students, was hit by an Iranian missile. A statement that the US Secretary of War himself knows is a lie. Because it was hit by a Tomahawk missile, which Iran does not have at all. Last night, we went through a very difficult bombing without shelter, with my grandchildren and daughters, but interestingly, people were in the streets and chanting. It seems that the more a nation is killed, the more united they become. Everyone here believes that we are paying the price here for not disclosing the documents in Netanyahu's hands about Trump's crimes in the sexual scandals of Epstein's corrupt island. I have seen eight years of the Iran-Iraq war, but here buildings are being hit with precision, with families inside, and the people themselves in the demonstrations. Just pray for us and protest because one day these criminals will come after the people of America themselves.

Salam my dear friend Phil,
you asked me how I am. My family and I are under airstrikes at least three times a day without any shelter. This morning, an American bomber bombed the city indiscriminately, killing many families. I am reminded of World War II, but it is strange that people do not abandon street demonstrations against America and Israel day and night. The brave martyrdom of the Iranian leader has reminded them of their historical values again. All the people of Epstein Island on one side and Iran on the other. My dear friend, I do not know how long I will live under these blind bombings, but I say from the bottom of my heart to tell our Jewish friends that I will never attribute the actions of this group of criminals to your religion. Yours, my friend Habib
Salam Phil,
a new leader was elected last night and people celebrated in the streets. Interestingly, they are not afraid of the occasional bombings. It seems they know that the only way to fight Epstein's islanders who have invaded their country is to stand firm. Only Trump was a fool who was able to replace the old Khamenei with the young Khamenei. Oil has reached $120 and is still rising. We were betrayed again in the middle of negotiations. But the people here are all in high spirits.
Salam Phil & Ana
Here, two oil refineries in the east and west of Tehran have been bombed, and the fire of both. Has caused a rain of toxic particles., Many people, despite Trump's threat, stay in the streets until morning and chant slogans against him. Today is the ninth day of the war. And the conflict and bombings against everything continue. So far, more than 1,300 civilians have been killed. All of Trump's calculations that the two-day war will end with Iran's defeat and surrender have been wrong.
Good Habib

It is very interesting to me that in this brutal war between America and Israel against Iran, all the happy-go-lucky tyrants of Epstein Island are on one side and Iran is on the other. Can you find the name of even one Iranian official or military person in Epstein's documents? There is an exception, of course. The only Westerner whose name is not mentioned in the documents of this island is Netanyahu, who must have equipped this island for his friends. Because there is a proverb that says that if you want to answer all the questions of an exam wrong, you must first know all the correct answers. Two days ago, 161 girl children were killed in a school in the small town of Minab in southern Iran by American bombs. I have come to believe that in the thinking of Western officials, anything is permissible. Either you have to rape children or kill them.
Thanks Habib
