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 emails 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.

Hello, 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.
Your friend 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

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.

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 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
An Iranian worker and his daughter.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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. People are preparing themselves for a few months of war.

The 18th night of the war, Tuesday, I am now in the middle of Tehran's Revolution Square because the Israeli president has announced that their supporters in Iran will take to the streets tonight. People are on the streets two hours before their call, fasting and with their children. They are supposed to stay until morning. 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. All of Iran is surrounded by people who are chanting against Trump and Netanyahu.

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. My two grandchildren and I were on the streets until morning for the same reason, and today we went to the funeral of the victims of this cruel war.

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.

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.
Peace, Habib
