Iran is the world's problem

I don't think we understand the meaning behind a digital blackout.

The fact that thousands upon thousands of Iranians have been k*lled by the regime, and there are so many, they can barely count them.

Whatever images and videos we have are but a mere trickle of content- most people can't get to the internet. Can't post what they've seen.

Can't share their realities.

No internet so the regime can hide what they are doing.

No internet so the world can't see what's happened.

No internet so they can control the people, the protests, the narrative.

Unarmed people are fighting back, but they are being taken down one by one.

The regime brought in thousands of Iraqi militiamen to help suppress the protests- pretending to come into the country on a pilgrimage trip- before being dispatched to several regions.

As a regular person, I understand that there is so much going on geopolitically that we don't know.

I get that.

But I can't help but watch, feeling suffocated, knowing that the people might not win if help from the outside doesn't come.

I don't know what they need and where. That is for far more informed people to decide.

But we're watching the fire of revolution flicker out.

Their flame is still there, fighting as hard as it can.

But I don't see how it can burst into flame without an injection of support.

You can say to me, "It's an internal war." Civil war. Their problem.

But Iran is the world's problem.

And for the last few weeks, redemption for the Persian people felt so obtainable.

So real.

I'm praying that powerful leaders take the initiative to step in and support the people.

I'm praying this saga ends for us all, Iranians, Israelis, and people of the world who abhor terr*rism.

We need to bring the Middle East a chance for real, long-lasting peace.

We all deserve that.
