Amirali Amini, a schoolchild and taekwondo boy, was killed in Israel’s brutal attacks. We must tell their stories—how each one had dreams, joy, and a will to live, all unjustly taken away by Israel's brutal strikes. #IranUnderAttack #SayTheirNames

Sarvenaz Vaezzadeh, a business development specialist at yektanet یکتانت , was killed in yesterday’s deadly Israeli strike on Tehran’s Sohrvardi neighborhood. Israel’s boundless violence knows no limits—claiming innocent lives with utter disregard. #IranUnderAttack #saytheirnames

President Trump said everyone should immediately evacuate Tehran. Over 10 million people live there. Where are they supposed to go? These are real lives - mothers, fathers, children - already trapped under a brutal regime. This is reckless, dehumanizing and terrifying.

Exclusive video from inside Tehran - and the person who filmed it tells us this is bringing them together.
