    The Zionists will decry the 50,000 civilians killed by the “regime”(with the number inflating every tweet) and then without skipping a beat gloat about how they are strangling Iran’s economy.

    Its almost as if they don’t give a shit about Iranians except as a justification for war.

    I get this sucks for students. But Iranian students shouldn’t be coming to the U.s right now.

    We are literally at war with each other.

    Who knows what could happen to Iranian students in the U.S. It’s way too risky.

      This also affects their possibility to study abroad anywhere. TOEFL results are used around the world as a standardized language proficiency assessment for university entrance.

        I was not aware of that. I guess the other English countries are going to have to look into alternative assessments to switch to, since the U.S can’t be trusted to make them open and available to anyone.

        If the U.S does it do Iran , they can do it to anyone at any time.

        And as petty as trump is, you know he will.

        Another product that the U.S provided that’s no longer trusted by the world.

        Next will be China to restrict Chinese students from coming here. Or India. All the other middle eastern countries except Israel, of course. Mexico.

          My heart really goes out to all Iranians trying to make it out. A lot oft embassies have halted their services for the time being and now this. It must feel terrible to be stuck in a country targeted by the military hegemon.
