Iran through my friend's eyes

I have wonderful friends. Sometimes they say really nice things:

At this critical moment in Iran’s contemporary history, when the world is finally beginning to confront the brutality of the regime, I want to publicly thank my former colleague, neighbor, and dear friend, Carmi Levy.

From the very first days of the digital blackout in Iran — when information was being suffocated and tens of thousands of innocent lives were being lost — there was almost complete silence in media. As a Persian Canadian, watching in anguish, I reached out to Carmi and shared what was unfolding.

He didn’t hesitate. He did his own research. He connected the story to the technology sector he covers. And he used his voice to raise awareness when it mattered most.

In moments like these, silence is easy. Speaking up is not.

Carmi, you are a true human being and a loyal friend. I will never forget that.
