‘Iranians more united than they were in times of peace’

By Mushfiq Ahmed

KARACHI, Pakistan (MNTV) – – The people of Iran are more united after the US and Israeli attacks than they were in peace time, said an Iranian student while talking to MNTV.  

“Life in the city feels mostly normal, and in some ways even better than during times of peace, because people understand the situation and show more unity and kindness toward each other,” said Hassan (not his real name). 

“However, we do occasionally see scattered, sometimes targeted—and often seemingly random—attacks on residential areas, as well as the assassination of innocent civilians by the Israeli enemy,” he added.

However, he said that communicating with relatives outside the country has become very difficult because of telecom and internet connectivity issues. “Unfortunately, WhatsApp isn’t working right now.

Because of security concerns and misuse by the Israeli enemy for hacking banks and spying, access to WhatsApp and the international Internet has been restricted and just the internal Internet is working well. Right now, I could only open WhatsApp by using a VPN,” said Hassan.

He said it was regrettable that other Muslim countries were supporting Iran’s adversaries. “Iran is standing alone right now, and sadly, that is mainly due to the fear that other countries and Muslim nations have of Israel and the US,” Hassan said.

He said that other Muslim countries should realize that Iran’s enemies were their enemies too. “I worry that if Muslims do not unite and instead stand alongside deception and support Western powers—for example, even calling for a Nobel Peace Prize for Trump—eventually the same enemy will turn against them too,” Hassan added.
