I went to the Iran border and asked Iranians what they want to say to Americans

Here’s a preview of the video we shot at the Iranian border last week amidst Trump’s threats and the subsequent ceasefire. See the full video on my channel. I asked the Iranians I spoke with how their lives have changed since the war started, and for their messages to Trump and the American people.

I spoke with people with diverse views and included all of them in the video, without censorship or selective editing. Many people’s views were nuanced and did not fit neatly into a specific narrative. Many people, especially those who expressed overtly anti-regime views, did not want to appear on camera, fearing that they or their families would be targeted by the Iranian regime for speaking out. I relayed what they said to me off camera in the video.

The overarching message we kept hearing from people across the political spectrum, both on and off camera, was a desire to live in peace and to have normal, friendly relations with the US and the rest of the world. Full video in on my channel.

Welcome to Ashgabat, Turkmenistan 🇹🇲

I’ve done more than my fair share of travel, and I can honestly say Ashgabat is far and away the strangest place I’ve ever been in my life.

Every building made of white marble. All cars also white, by law. Almost no people out in public. But that’s just the beginning — check out the full video for more.
