This Iranian man broke me. These are ordinary people whose lives are being destroyed and who are being killed by U.S. and Israeli airstrikes.
"Authoritarian leaders are, above all else, students of each other's deaths. When a peer regime collapses, the lesson travels fast," writes Nicholas Chkhaidze, a research fellow at the Topchubashov Center, in this op-ed.
I should think so
