Forty years of propaganda told you Iran was a black-clad dungeon. The footage tells a different fucking story. And so does the body count.

Modern Tehran Looks Like Brunswick. Have a Squiz at What Trump’s Been Bombing.

Have a look at this. Properly look. Because what you’re about to see isn’t Surry Hills. It isn’t Newtown. It isn’t some hipster pocket of Brunswick where bearded blokes flog you an 8 dollar single origin in a recycled jam jar.

It’s Tehran.

A cafe-bookstore in the north of the city. Packed out. Hardwood floors, exposed bulbs, the kind of fitout you’d expect to see on a corner in Fitzroy. Twenty and thirty-somethings hunched over laptops. Middle-aged women on second flat whites. Mates yarning over textbooks. The owner there has been redecorating between rounds of getting bombed by Americans, and he’s still pulling shots like nothing happened.

Before we might have had 10 or 15 customers a day, but a week before the ceasefire, people came back and things are returning to normal.

Returning to normal. Read that again. Because the scene France 24 just walked into is a thriving fucking metropolis. Women out in the open with their hair down, no scarves, makeup on, dressed in whatever the hell they want. Blokes in Levi’s and Adidas. Couples holding hands. Old timers reading the paper. The full normal-life panorama, in the country your evening news has been telling you for 40 years is a black-clad theocratic dungeon where everyone gets stoned to death for owning a Spotify account.
