These days, while I’m still on the road, distant echoes reach my ears—echoes that disturb the peace. For several days now, the shadows have grown heavier, and news of escalating military conflict between Iran and Israel has been circulating. Last night, the U.S. entered the picture too. These are the kinds of headlines that unsettle every heart. Mine is no exception. My thoughts often drift to Tehran, to the loved ones still there, and to a future that now feels more uncertain than ever under the weight of this crisis.
It’s a strange thing—to hear the sound of explosions while traveling, and not know whether it’s safer for your family if you return, or if you’re better off continuing forward.
Still, I haven’t stopped. This project isn’t just an idea or a plan—it’s a part of me. Something I continue to build, even in the middle of turmoil, step by step. I believe that in times like these, each of us has a role to play—a responsibility, a small light that can push back even a little of the darkness. And this is my role: to keep going. To create something that might, one day, be a source of hope—not just for me, but for many others.
Here on this journey, with a suitcase full of determination and a heart still warm, I continue. Perhaps this persistence—this loyalty to the path I’ve chosen—is what allows us to move through these dark days toward a brighter horizon… for all of us.
I’m committed to advancing my project to improve human communication through technology, even under the shadow of war, for people everywhere. While politicians in my region are entering war, I’m working for peace—peace that goes beyond borders.
To be honest, I’ve seen tougher days. As a teenager struggling with social anxiety, I didn’t even have a name for what I was going through. I didn’t know help existed. Therapy wasn’t common in Iran at the time, and above all, I was deeply, completely alone.
But I made it through those years. And today, with experience, resources, knowledge, and a growing team—I see crisis as just another stage to face and overcome. If I got through that darkness, I’ll get through this one too.
And when I do, I’ll come out not just surviving—but carrying something truly valuable and useful for others.
May the Great Creator protect us all.
