On June 13th, Israel attacked Iran. The drones and missiles have collided with civil and military sites, similar to targets related to the country's nuclear program, which Israel has long considered an existential threat. Iran retaliated and attacked Israeli civilian regions. In Tehran, the residential area, home to one of Iran's top nuclear scientists, was one of the hit locations. The floor beneath him lived in the Abbasi family. Hasan Shaygan was their building manager. Palvis and Massoumi Abbasi lived with their son, 16-year-old Parham, and their daughter, 24-year-old Parnia. They moved into their apartment last year and filmed this celebratory moment. Azadeh Shariarifar is Masoumeh's younger sister and the aunt of Parham and Parnia. She is an artist and photographer. Her first exhibition deals with the themes of life and death, which was scheduled to open on the day of bombing. Pernia did this compilation of her and her boyfriend, Sajad. They were together for five years and together they were planning their future. The family was buried in the city's main cemetery in an area dedicated to victims of a 12-day war with Israel. Azadeh had only visited a few times. She says the place attracts both sadness and politics, and cannot be mourned loudly and crowded peacefully. Although Azadh was critical of Israel, she also had more expectations from her country.
