What's up? I'm Corey, and these are your headlines from Birmingham News today. A local immigration lawyer in Central Alabama is voicing deep concerns for his family in Iran amid rising tensions from recent United States strikes. Michael Shabbani, who practices in the Birmingham area, says the conflict hits close to home since he has relatives still living there. He has struggled to stay in touch with no real contact for a full month until a short call with his uncle just two days ago. But uncertainty about their safety weighs heavily on him every day. Shabbani draws from painful personal history, having lost loved ones during the Iraq War. He believes every day people in Iran deserve freedom without the added destruction from outside involvement. Drawing parallels to conflicts in places like Libya, Syria, and Afghanistan, he worries prolonged fighting could leave Iran and ruins wasting lives. And resources after decades of struggle. Many praise for a quick diplomatic resolution between the United States and Iran.

He urges Americans to speak up for peace and push leaders toward better ways to settle disputes. Deianin is brought to you by our sponsor link in the description. No need to switch positions. The sound is already where your head is. S-O-L-I-SOLYPELO.COM
