I heard the 40 day war above my head.
Jets. Bombs. Missiles. Explosions tearing the night open.
But I was not afraid the way I was afraid in January.
Because I knew those bombs were not looking for me.
They were not hunting my mother. They were not hunting my friends. They were not hunting children in the streets. They were not hunting Iran.
On January 8 and 9, the bullets were.
That was when we were the target.
The terrorist Islamic Regime occupying Iran came at our people with Kalashnikovs, G3s, snipers, Winchesters, pistols, DShKs, daggers, machetes, and axes.
Women. Men. Children. The old. The young. Families who came together and were killed together.
Not one. Not ten. Not a hundred.
Tens of thousands.
Now ask yourselves something simple.
Why did the regime cut our internet in January, then cut it again during the 40 day war?
Why did it go so far in January that even basic signals were swallowed?
A regime does not bury a nation in silence to protect it.
It does it so you cannot count the bodies.
During the 40 day war, reported deaths inside Iran were in the thousands, including civilians.
Every civilian life matters.
But in January, when the regime’s guns were pointed at us, Iranians speak of more than 40,000 killed in the streets.
And in 2026 alone, the same gallows have taken at least 43 political and conscience prisoners.
So do the math they pray you never do.
Who kills Iranians at scale? Who cuts the signal before the bullets? Who needs blackout before massacre? Who needs silence before the rope?
That was the war against Iran.
Not the 40 day war.
The 40 day war struck the same machine that planted bullets in our chests. The same occupier that massacred our people, buried the truth under blackout, dragged foreign militias into our streets, and then dared to wear Iran’s name like a stolen flag.
So understand this clearly:
Our enemy is the Islamic Republic.
Our war is with the Islamic Republic.
When America and Israel strike the regime, we do not see a war against Iran and its people.
We see help against the force that has been waging war on Iran for 47 years.
The regime wants the world to confuse our prison with our country.
We will not.
Iran is the nation.
The Islamic Republic is the gun pointed at its heart.
