Sharif University is Iran’s MIT. They’ve produced a huge number of engineers who’ve gone on to Silicon Valley and founded some of the most successful American tech companies. Why are we bombing a university in a city of 10 million people?
Sharif University of Technology in Tehran, one of Iran’s top science and engineering institutions, was bombed tonight, and a number of schools reportedly damaged. Founded in 1966 (as Aryamehr University), Sharif is a cornerstone of Iran’s scientific and academic life. Striking and destroying universities and schools is not just an attack on buildings,it is an attack on a country’s future.

Regional conflict has triggered the biggest disruption to air travel across the Gulf since the COVID-19 pandemic. More than 8,000 passengers have been stranded in Qatar since the conflict began on February 28 after the country closed its airspace. Airlines are now beginning to reopen limited routes. CNN's Bijan Hosseini is at Doha's Hamad International Airport where Qatar Airways is operating flights to help stranded travelers finally get home.
