'Victims of a slaughter: Iranian people have been rising up for decades against the Islamic regime'

Mark Owen welcomes Aida Tavakoli, co-founder of We Are Iranian Students, who offers a window into the humanitarian crisis unfolding in Iran under a blanket of state-imposed darkness. Her voice, urgent and unwavering, challenges the international community, including the UN Security Council, to rise up and take action in the face of "crimes against humanity." Ms. Tavakoli’s testimony underscores the deepening fracture between global democratic ideals and geopolitical pragmatism, raising uncomfortable questions about complicity, silence, and selective outrage. What emerges is a plea for action and an indictment of inaction.
