Iran Freedom Congress in London.

The National.

Iranian opposition conference in London seeks unity from diversity.

Iran Freedom Congress hopes to organise more events in North America and Europe.

“The conference saw more than 250 political campaigners, academics and the representatives of political parties from Europe and North America meet discuss a wide range of issues such as democratic transition and the voices of Iran’s ethnic minorities.

But the liveliest conversations took place outside the main hall, in the back room where people exchanged ideas.

“Some people hated each other [before today’s event]. Now you see them having coffee,” said Kourosh Sehati, a political activist and journalist who was jailed for his involvement in the student movement in Iran in the late 1990s.”

Has the US attacked Iran too soon? It is unclear whether Iranians will support the regime UK n this scenario of an foreign threat.
Is this the right timing (strategically) or has something to do with the lack of support from the Trump administration. Should we forget about the midterms?

> there is a sort of pathos about it when that word children falls under your eye, for it always brings before us our perfectest symbol of innocence and helplessness; and by help of its deathless eloquence color, creed and nationality vanish away and we see only that they are children—merely children. And if they are frightened and crying and in trouble, our pity goes out to them by natural impulse. We see a picture. We see the small forms. We see the terrified faces. https://www.marktwainproject.org/writings/autobiography3/autobiography/autobio_dictations/autobio1_1906-03-12/
