🌸💐 Happy Nowruz (Persian new year) and spring equinox. This season is traditionally a time of joy and renewal for Iranians around the world. Yet this year, it comes in the shadow of immense tragedy, as over 30,000 civilians were killed by the Iranian regime just months ago, and the regime has completely cut all access to the internet for nearly 3 weeks now. Despite that, the hope for a free Iran endures; one that would contribute to a safer and more prosperous world. ❤️✌️
