REPORT FROM IRAN: The Reality of War Is Not What You Think

In his first report from Iran during the ongoing war, human rights lawyer and journalist Dimitri Lascaris shares his observations from Tabriz — but what he encounters challenges common expectations: no visible fighting, no panic, but a sense of normalcy that raises important questions. How is this possible in the middle of a war? And what does it reveal about how this conflict is perceived?
