In 2018 I traveled around Iran
This is a photo I took of the main square in Isfahan, which was my favorite city there. It was also one of the cities targeted by Israeli airstrikes yesterday
My trip was tightly controlled--I literally had a government agent with me at all times as a condition of my visa. But there were stolen moments with everyday people that made a really deep impression on me. Everyone seemed aware that Iran & the US were supposed to be enemies and everyone, literally everyone, went out of their way to tell me that wasn't the case and I should feel welcome and comfortable
The people in Iran are NOT your enemy
The politicians that want you to believe that--they are our enemy
NO WAR
