The war in Iran — and the regional fallout — is continuing. Without Congressional authorization, President Donald Trump and Israel launched strikes that killed Iran's supreme leader and other military leaders of the current regime. And now over a thousand people have died in this war. 

There is no clear path to peace. Neither Israel nor America have signaled that either have much interest in creating stability or democracy in Iran.

Yesterday, we spoke with a Middle East scholar about what’s happening in Iran, and some of the different perspectives of the 92 million people living there. But there are a lot more voices to consider. What do folks from the diaspora who live in our region make of the situation?
