Crowds of Iranian-Americans took to the streets of Westwood on Saturday to celebrate the U.S. and Israeli strikes on Iran and the reported formation of a provisional government by opposition groups, marking a moment many said they never expected to witness in their lifetimes.
Celebrations spilled into the streets near Persian Square with people waving Iranian flags, honking car horns and chanting in joy. Some danced in the streets, expressing hope for a freer Iran.
Hey it’s a tough world out there. It’s getting harder and harder to identify fake images, which is why I wanted to explain some of the telltale signs that it is real.
I also have a number of friends who are very outspoken in the Iranian-American community. There are a lot of bad actors out there who are trying to discredit their entire movement because Trump happens to be president. Who else are they supposed to appeal to for an international intervention? They just want to rescue their families.
