We opened an HQ in the region just hours after the war kicked off, and now, it’s time for some reflection. Tell us what we’re doing well, and what’s missing.
I am a paid subscriber, because I enjoy reading your reporting.
About the Iran War Dispatches content, I like the most the in-depth reporting. Keep doing that. New flashes are less important to me.
Nothing about your content disappoints me or makes me want to stop reading, but my reading time is limited, so often I just skim the headlines of your reports. That doesn't make them less valuable to me.
You ask: What aspects of Iran—or the regions the conflict affects—do you feel are missing from coverage? -- Well, I just wish you could provide more of what you are doing. It looks like you are better situated to report about Ukraine, but face difficulties regarding Iran. Perhaps recruiting an enthisiastioc and competent reporter who speaks fluent Farsi could enhance your staff in this regard. But such people who can provide unbiased reporting are probably hard to find.
We do have enthusiastic and competent reporters who speak Farsi, but one of the inherent limitations we have is that we are not able to physically be in Iran like we are in Ukraine.
Definitely. Consider how often we have been able to get behind that firewall to bring stories from inside Iran. That itself is a big accomplishment for our team.
I am a paid subscriber and I like the insights you and your team bring to all of your reporting. You are sharing factual information but more importantly you are providing context and nuance that I don't see anywhere else. Thank you!
👍No notes! I am in awe of what your team can achieve despite the access challenges (physical & internet et al) - I am committed to keep my focus on Ukraine out of some sort of loyalty (💙💛) but I appreciate the non-propaganda & people based stories about Iran. Unfortunately, I already pay for more subs than I really can afford, so can't justify another one right now 🥹
Please report that most Americans do not believe that Iran would use a nuclear weapon but that Trump would use one because he likes to do “big things”. Trump is an entertainer not a president.

I understand. Lack of Internet access in Iran is probably also a problem.
