They Targeted Knowledge, And They Also Killed Humanity

According to Saednews from Astaneh Ashrafieh, a dark, cold, and endless night cast its shadow over a small neighborhood in Astaneh Ashrafieh county a few nights ago, when children were still in their innocent dreams and fathers and mothers had closed their eyes. Suddenly, a hell of bombs and missiles tore through the roofs of their homes, swallowed the walls, and ruthlessly buried dreams beneath heaps of stone and steel.

The criminal Zionist regime targeted the country’s prominent scientist, the martyr Seyed Mohammadreza Sedighi Saber. But this attack did not only take his life; it also martyred his wife, children, and relatives alongside him, in the cold ruins of midnight. They did not even spare the neighbors—neither the pregnant woman, nor the lonely old man, nor the child clutching tightly to his only toy.

The rubble became the witness to the oppression

Only a few hours after the explosion, rescuers, jihadist forces, and local residents, anxious and tearful, pulled lifeless bodies from beneath the piles of concrete.
A small child still clutched her half-burnt doll tightly to her chest. A father, having sheltered his wife in the last moment, now lay lifeless beside her on a piece of the ruins. The silent cries that came from between the stones still echo in the memory of the neighborhood and the city.

Astaneh Ashrafieh mourns, but stands proud

Now a small neighborhood has made a large city mourn. Its children, scientist, and family were taken from it—but not its pride. The grieving and black-clad residents kissed the graves of their loved ones and vowed to continue their path.

The "boundless crime" is engraved in the pages of history

Several nights have passed since that dark crime. It seems the stars have not forgotten it either. A small neighborhood, in a small city, left a great wound on the heart of the Iranian nation, and the child-killing Zionist regime once again unveiled its savage face, but at the same time awakened the determination of a nation.

This crime was not merely an attack; it was another page in the black book of the Zionist regime—a page that will never be erased from the memory of history. A page of oppression, savagery, and cruelty. A page stained with the blood of children, the love of fathers, the pain of mothers, and the resolve of a people who still stand strong and hopeful—for freedom, for prosperity, and for revenge.
