- The Skewed Lens of “The Right Side of History”PodcastOn the Weaponisation of Historical Morality and the Erasure of Conscience There is a phrase that circulates through political rhetoric with the confidence of an axiom and the substance of a mirage: stand on the right side of history. It is uttered with the gravity of moral certainty — by presidents and pundits, by those […]10 min
- The Paradox of ExpectationsPodcast A Regime That Does Not Cooperate With Its Own DownfallAn Israeli journalist recently made ironic commentary on President Trump’s war strategy, capturing in a single tweet what might be called the most revealing paradox of our time. But this is not merely about Donald Trump. This is about a cognitive dissonance that has come […]9 min
- When the Dead Are Counted Twice: Inflated Atrocities and the Manufacture of IndifferencePodcastThere is a particular cruelty in inflating the number of the dead. It does not honour the victims — it instrumentalises them. And when the inflation is eventually corrected, it does not restore credibility — it destroys it, along with every legitimate grievance buried beneath the exaggeration. This is not a hypothetical. It is a […]19 min
- When Silence Cannot Be Mistaken for Consent: A Defense of Diaspora VoicePodcastA thoughtful critic argues that my essay commits a fundamental inversion by shifting moral scrutiny away from the conditions producing violence in Iran and toward diaspora Iranians who speak about that violence. The critique contends that diaspora members are not detached spectators but rather members of the same society with families and personal histories inside […]10 min
- The Burning Building and the Monitoring Room: Iran, Diaspora, and the Moral Architecture of WarPodcastThe fracture at the heart of the Iranian crisis is not, at its deepest level, a disagreement about strategy, ideology, or even the legitimacy of the Islamic Republic. It is something far more elemental and far more difficult to resolve: a collision between two entirely different lived realities that have, over decades of displacement and […]17 min
- Speculators in Suffering: The Moral Bankruptcy of Diaspora War AdvocacyPodcastThere is a peculiar species of political actor that emerges from every fractured nation—those who, having escaped the inferno, appoint themselves firefighters from across the ocean and prescribe gasoline as the cure. They populate the comment sections, the conference panels, the corridors of foreign capitals, advocating with remarkable enthusiasm for missiles to rain down on […]7 min
- While You CelebratePodcastA VOICE FROM THE FIRE: What the Diaspora Doesn’t Want to Hear “They killed 168 children in a school. They hit the school twice. TWICE.” These aren’t statistics from a news ticker. These are the words of a man whose voice cracks between fury and grief, who paid seven million tomans—money he doesn’t have—for a […]5 min
- You Don’t Want Our Freedom—You Want Our DestructionPodcastIran has infrastructure. Iran’s infrastructure is not the Islamic Republic’s infrastructure. It’s that simple. Even if the IRGC uses the bridges, hospitals, schools, and internet, this infrastructure still belongs to Iran. Even if we call the IRGC “occupiers” (strange, isn’t it? A label Israel has worn proudly for decades now gets slapped on the IRGC […]4 min
- The Sanctuary of My ConsciencePodcastI write this in English because the collapse of our shared morality is not a local tragedy; it is a human one. I am calling for a spotlight, not merely on the hypocrisy that surrounds me, but on something far more frgile: the survival of our humanity in an age of organized hate. For three […]3 min
- Bread, Lead, and the Logic of RevengePodcastThink about this situation carefully—don’t run away. Be honest with yourself and with your conscience. This is not an easy test. It is not meant to be. The measure is simple and merciless: beyond our political divisions—whatever they may be—can we refuse to forget that we are human? Here is the test. Imagine you are […]3 min
