Diary of a Massacre: Iran, 2026
https://aidaforoutan.blogspot.com/2026/04/diary-of-massacre-iran-2026.html

This anonymous diary was written during the January 2026 massacre of protesters in Tehran and published anonymously on a diaspora website right after connection was reestablished. Over the course of eight days, it narrates the unknowability of those days as the horror was beginning to unfold.
