From Metropolis to Gaza: Superman vs Israel
TEHRAN-A land of stark imbalance — where a heavily armed military, backed by a global superpower, storms the borders of a poor, besieged nation. Its people, trapped behind border fences, stand their ground with nothing but stones and flags against tanks and soldiers. The world’s media wavers between terms like “legitimate defense” and “right to life,” unsure of how to frame the suffering. Leading the assault is a commander long shielded from accountability by diplomatic alliances and military support. And then suddenly, a hero descends from the sky — uninvited, unaffiliated, moved only by the will to save lives.

Art against erasure: witnessing Gaza’s unseen pain
TEHRAN- A mother—whether in Norway or Nigeria—switches off the television, refusing the unbearable sight: a grieving mother in Gaza holding her child, starved to death. The image pierces too deep, shattering fragile calm. In that moment, denial shields her heart; the world’s pain presses too close.
