六个月过去,美伊战事未歇,伊朗裔美国人社区却已因战争而出现深刻裂痕。曾有人支持军事干预,如今失望与反思弥漫,社区内部在不同代际与政治立场间的信任正加速瓦解。
The Odaily report: Six months have passed since the US and Israel launched their first military strikes on Iran, and the war's impact continues to ripple across the globe, also deeply dividing the large Iranian-American community in the United States. Some anti-government figures welcomed the US-Israeli military action, hoping it would push for regime change in Iran; others, however, fear civilian casualties and regional instability, opposing any form of external military intervention. Arezo Rashidian, an activist who has long supported Iran's former crown prince Reza Pahlavi, stated that many who once backed military action are now feeling disappointed, as the "hoped-for regime change has not occurred." She noted that as the conflict has calmed down, security controls within Iran are being re-tightened, and people have become more cautious about discussing politics or participating in protests. Meanwhile, anti-war advocates argue that some Iranian-Americans who supported intervention held unrealistic expectations about the war's outcome and underestimated the lessons left by wars in Iraq, Afghanistan, and Libya. The war has not only failed to bridge the political divisions among the Iranian diaspora but has instead deepened distrust between different generations and political factions within the community. As the US continues to intensify economic pressure on Iran, and Tehran warns of possible countermeasures, the divisions within the overseas Iranian community over the war's next steps and Iran's future continue to widen.
