I wake up in the middle of the night, entangled in an impossible dream, bombs falling on a school full of children, pieces of human beings scattered among the desks of a classroom that no longer exists, and statements from an aggressive president: “The operation against Iran has been a complete success.”
I get up and read the latest news about the fourth day of the “manhunt” launched by the United States and Israel against the Persian nation.
The death toll in Iran, according to data from the Iranian Red Crescent Society, exceeds 787, and according to reports in the mainstream Western press, quoting the U.S. president, “the government has been decapitated, they have been hit by rockets and bombs, and, in addition to the great leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, almost the entire military leadership.”
Not a word from Washington or Tel Aviv about the murder of 170 girls from a primary school, among the first victims of contemporary fascism, which both aggressor governments share.
For his part, the spokesman for the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, Brigadier General Ali Mohamad Naini, reported on Tuesday that 650 U.S. military personnel have been killed or wounded during Operation True Promise 4, which identifies Tehran’s response against the aggressors.
These are human beings who will never return to their families, who may not even have been informed that their son was traveling to the Middle East to carry out the undignified task of attacking another country and even assassinating its supreme leader.
It is up to the American people to decide what action to take. This was the case with those who returned in coffins from Vietnam, Iraq, Afghanistan, or so many other war zones that the Yankee governments have marked with the innocent blood of their children.
Has this uncertain world become incapable of stopping crime?
Will international institutions continue to be inert prisoners, unable to break free and embark on true emancipation, not only with meetings where it is known in advance that there will be a miserable veto if they try to condemn the crimes and their perpetrators?
Coincidentally, the U.S. president appointed First Lady Melania Trump to chair the UN Security Council, which rotates to the United States.
The theme of the meeting was “children in conflict situations,” and Mrs. Trump declared that “the United States stands with all children around the world.”
The event was described by the Iranian envoy to the UN, Amir Saeid Iravani, as deeply shameful and hypocritical, while the joint U.S.-Israeli operation launched missile attacks on Iranian cities, bombed schools, and killed children, according to reports by Reuters.
The manhunt in Iran must end, just as the genocide in Gaza must be abolished.
An example of this is Israel’s impunity for killing Palestinian children, or not allowing humanitarian aid to reach them or medical care to save them.
The massacres must end, and once and for all, those who, through Israeli Zionism or the fundamentalism of the U.S. administration, are now extending their crimes to Iran must be condemned.
The manhunt must be abolished, and we must not continue to be silent witnesses, doing nothing to save humanity, which is prey to the horrors of modern fascism.
