Former Iranian youth wrestling champion Sardar Pashaei, now based in the U.S., condemned President Donald Trump’s threats against Iran. He urged the regime to end its repression and avoid further suffering for its people.
Elnaz Rakabi, an Iranian climbing champion, echoed these concerns. She emphasized that Iran is not just a regime-it is a people with a history and future deserving of respect and peace.
Trump warned Iran to reopen the Strait of Hormuz or face strikes on key infrastructure. Iran's UN representative rejected a ceasefire, vowing reciprocal defense measures.
Iran has threatened to strike energy facilities in Saudi Arabia and the UAE if its own infrastructure is targeted.
