While Roqayah is off documenting the lead-up to another Israeli ground invasion of south Lebanon, Kumars and friend of the show Sina Rahmani were finally able to contact fellow friend of the show Navid Zarrinnal in Tehran. Speaking on the phone as the internet blackout continues, Navid discusses his experience of the bombardment of Tehran, the US and Israel’s increasingly untargeted strikes across the country, Western media’s psychological warfare against people in Iran, and how Iranians are responding to the assassination of Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei.  Sina and Kumars also fill Navid in on the abysmal response to this attack in the United States, Iran’s ongoing retaliation against Israel and US bases in the region, and the massive mobilization of Shia Muslims in response to the news of Khamenei’s martyrdom.

As of today, the situation seems to have largely stabilized, at least for now...
