What makes it even more painful is when platforms like OpenSea, Binance, and others say,
“It’s not about which country you’re connecting from — the problem is in your blood. It’s because you’re Iranian.”
They no longer distinguish between governments and the people.
They’ve set aside political disagreements and instead placed the weight of sanctions and exclusion on the very veins of Iranian individuals artists, developers, builders, and dreamers.
It’s no longer just geopolitics.
It’s personal.
It’s a war waged quietly not with weapons, but with silence, erasure, and systemic neglect.
And that’s the deepest wound:
To be judged not for your actions, but for your identity.
To be punished not for breaking rules, but for being born Persian.
But even under this pressure, we continue to build, to dream, to show up not because we are allowed to,
but because we must.
Because our blood, though condemned, carries centuries of creativity, resilience, and brilliance.
