Iran’s unrest is escalating. In Abadan, security forces reportedly refused to disperse protesters and instead joined them. The Times reports that Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei is preparing a contingency plan to flee with his family to Moscow if the situation spirals out of control.

We didn’t know then how effective that treatment would prove.
I was told I could expect to live another 20 years.
27 years later I’m healthy and undetectable.
