Ihmiset eivÀt pysty tarpeeksi. Mutta tiedÀtkö, tÀnÀÀn boulevardin jÀlkeen, kaikissa muutamissa aloissa nÀin Ogaa Mojtabaa. Kaikissa. Se oli itse asiassa sytyttÀvÀÀ.
Mojtaba Khamenei on aiemmin suurin puolustusjÀrjestön isÀ. Ja aiemmin viikon jÀlkeen, kun aloitettiin maailma, hÀn oli valittu Iranin klerikkalaisuuden jÀrjestöön. HÀn on hankalainen, lÀhellÀ Iranin vahvoja revolutsiaalit. Valtuutettu regiimi on loppuun. Yritin kutsua sinua, kun se tapahtui, mutta sinÀ ei vastannut. Leila, he sanovat, ettÀ Shiraz on ollut todella huonosti tullut. KyllÀ, missaukset olivat tullut.
En tiedĂ€, oliko se jĂ€ttiĂ€ tai jĂ€rjestĂ€minen toisesta maasta. Haluan, ettĂ€ sinĂ€ kuulet sen. Se oli niin lĂ€hellĂ€. Voit kuunnella rauhan, kun missailti jĂ€rjestetÀÀn ja se tappaa hĂ€ntĂ€. Ja ensimmĂ€istĂ€ kertaa tuntui, ettĂ€ se oli haastavaa. Onneksi. Onneksi. Olen niin rauhassa, ettĂ€ puoli puolesta on menossa. Toivon teille. ĂlĂ€ jĂ€tĂ€ mitÀÀn tapahtumaan sinulle. Huudaja!
Yhdysvallat laittaa tavoitteita koko maailman. Opetuksessa se on nimeltÀÀn Opetuksen Epic Fury. Yhdysvallat laittaa tavoitteita koko maailman. Yhdysvallat laittaa tavoitteita koko maailman. Yhdysvallat laittaa tavoitteita koko maailman. Yhdysvallat laittaa tavoitteita koko maailman. Yhdysvallat laittaa tavoitteita koko maailman. Yhdysvallat laittaa tavoitteita koko maailman. Yhdysvallat laittaa tavoitteita koko maailman. Yhdysvallat laittaa tavoitteita koko maailman.
HeidÀn pitÀisi olla suunniteltu nÀitÀ tapauksia edelleen. Se on jÀnnittÀvÀÀ. Ja nyt heidÀn unelmansa on mennÀ maailmaan Yhdysvalloihin, ja Israel on tullut oikeaan. Eikö se ole se, mitÀ he halusivat? Yksi asia Trumpin tekemisestÀ, vaikka se tekee elÀmÀÀmme vaikeaa, se on ymmÀrtÀÀ nÀitÀ ihmisiÀ siitÀ, mitÀ he todella ovat.
People around me suddenly knew about the Strait of Hormuz. Even people who normally don't follow politics. But this awareness wasn't about people. It was about oil, economy, impact. And that made something very clear to me. That places like Iran become visible mostly when they affect somewhere else. It's something I'd felt before, but in that moment I felt it more strongly.
Then I remembered the time change in London tonight, and I realized the only thing I cared about was this. Am I now closer to Iran in time? And I am. One hour closer. Somehow that matters. By now, the economic cost of the war is biting increasingly hard. Small businesses, especially ones that rely on the internet, are going under. People are using up their savings. Leila's struggling financially.
Geeta, I think I'm going to have a really difficult month. If you can, could you maybe send me some money? It's the first time Leila has ever asked Geeta for money, but her salary hasn't been paid for weeks. I was actually wondering about that. I'll find a way. I just don't know how to get it to you. They've hit the bank as well. They hit the bank? Yeah. They've only paid my salary today. Which salary was that? Januaries. And another thing.
He've reduced my shifts. They've cut my shifts from 11 to 8. Her bank is apparently hit by a cyber attack as another conflict rages alongside the missiles and the bombs. Iran is fighting a propaganda war. Leila hears that school children have been told they should go out into the streets waving flags if they want to be given good grades. And there are stories of people being incentivized to attend pro-government rallies.
When Leila calls, Gita senses in her sister a heaviness, an exhaustion. Getting through it means digging deep. This is the documentary from the BBC World Service. Ekstra rauhallisessa rentoutuessaan Lassi totesi, ettÀ hÀnen tarjousvainonsa oli pettÀmÀtön.
This morning when my sister called, we remembered something we'd always done as a family. Since we were young, whenever we were together, we would start imagining things. Projects we could start, businesses we could build. We created an imaginary island. And then we'd assign roles to everyone in the family. Laughing about who'd be good at what, who'd be terrible at it. We did it again this morning. The island. The island.
An empty place, somewhere far, where it's just us. No war, no restrictions. Again we began assigning roles. Who'd handle electricity, who would teach, who'd take care of health. For a few moments, it felt possible to stand somewhere that isn't collapsing. It gave us somewhere else to stand. We laughed, like we always do.
YmmÀrtÀÀ todellista tulevaisuutta Iranissa on nyt vaikeaa monille iranialaisille. Geeta kuulee, ettÀ ihmiset jÀttÀvÀt. YmpÀröivÀt ovat loppuneet, mutta Geeta jÀttÀÀ suunnitelmaa. Hei. Oletko hyvin? Oletko nukkumaan? Ei, olen töissÀ. Haluaisin puhua sinulle. Mietin vain, mitÀ tapahtuu meille. Minun rakastani, se ei ole selvÀÀ. Kerron sinulle, ettÀ tulet Razi-sivuun. MissÀ Razi-sivu? Razi-sivu, Turkki.
Laita minua ylös. Olen tullut tuosta puolelta ja ottanut sinut. Ja sitten kuinka kauan voit ottaa minut? Otan paikkaa Istanbulissa, todellisesti. MitÀ voin edes sanoa? Minun pitÀisi mennÀ, Gita. Okei, hei. PÀivÀn jÀlkeen Gita kirjoitti, ettÀ se oli sellaista suunnitelmaa, jossa ei ole vielÀ hyvÀÀ valtaa.
The hardest part of these days for me is this feeling of lack of control. The speed of events, the fragmented reports, a story heard from someone who heard it from someone else. News has neither shape nor certainty.
This morning when my sister called, she handed the phone to mom. I could hear sorrow in her voice. They've started thinking about preserving meat and food with salt without a refrigerator. This image was more painful to me than any war report. The thought of someone sitting and working out. If the electricity goes, if the gas stops, if everything fails. How do we survive?
My sister talked about the meningitis outbreak in England. She told me to be careful. How on earth can someone who's living with all that instability under the shadow of bombing still worry about you?
PÀivÀn alussa Donald Trump, joka suositti, ettÀ maa pitÀisi mennÀ vain muutamia viikkoja, yrittÀÀ lopettaa sen. HÀn antaa ultimatumia oikeudenmukaisen platformista, jotta voidaan saada Iran neuvotteluun hÀnen terveensÀ. President Trump on suosittanut antiin dramaattisesti, sanoen, ettÀ Iranin koko kivilaisuus kuolee tÀnÀÀn.
When I heard that phrase, a whole civilization will die tonight, at first I didn't really take it seriously. Donald Trump says many things, things that don't always happen. But people kept talking about it. I heard it again and again. Another day, another extraordinary post. At this point nobody knows whether he is going to go ahead or not. The world is now on a brink of a very dangerous escalation.
It started to feel that something on a different scale could become real. Something that extends beyond a single moment. Of course Iran has a long history and so much beauty and memory in its cities, its architecture, its language and landscapes. But for me, civilization is first and foremost its people.
