This is the result of #Iran's role in #Syria.
These three beautiful children on the right are now dead after being bombed in #EastGhouta.

This is #EastGhouta, under siege for 5 years by #Assad in #Syria, held in power by #Iran's regime.
These innocent people are being ruthlessly bombed. Hundreds dead in the past few days alone.
Be the voice of #Ghouta.

Innocent children, like this little angel, are paying the price of #Iran's belligerence in #Syria to maintain #Assad in power for their own interests, and unfortunately, the world's silence in the face of such atrocities of defenseless civilians being viciously bombed.

More disturbing images of #Assad's crimes in #EastGhouta, enjoying endless support from #Iran's regime.
Be the voice of #EasternGhouta.

#EastGhouta becoming "Hell on Earth" is the result of #Iran's support for #Assad in #Syria.
At least 420 are dead & hundreds injured after 6 days of bombings.
Nearly 100 children have been killed.

This child was found by the UNHCR in the middle of the desert fleeing alone from #Syria to #Jordan. He has lost his entire family & the clothes of his mother & sister are in his bag...
This is thanks to #Obama that further enabled #Iran's meddling & #Russia's bombings in Syria...

We are in a world where condemnations no longer bear weight. Meaningful actions are necessary against #Iran, being #Assad's main sponsor in #Syria. Such measures will also send the necessary message to #Russia.
