Aubergine phobia?
Iranian missiles aren’t the only things unnerving the West. Our aubergines are apparently scary too
TEHRAN – In a world where Palestinian children starve to death under accusations of terrorism, Israel’s prime minister receives standing ovations and unwavering support in Western political circles for upholding "democracy” despite being a war criminal, and the U.S. President floats the idea of turning sovereign nations into American states— perhaps it’s no surprise that Iranians are criminalized for selling tomatoes, potatoes, and aubergines.

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.
