Warm and crisp on the edges. A bagel with a bit of bite.
Summary
An Iranian expatriate in France, Hassan (name changed), reflects on the bitter aftermath of the US military operation in Iran. While he and his family initially hoped the conflict could lead to regime change in Tehran, making the civilian casualties and destruction more bearable, that hope has now faded. After over 100 days of war, the article captures the disillusionment of Iranians who feel the people are the ultimate losers, with the regime remaining intact despite the violence.
