On June 22, 2025 the United States Air Force and Navy attacked three nuclear facilities in Iran as part of the Iran–Israel war, under the code name Operation Midnight Hammer. In response, Fortuna Major Press launched a flash submission campaign on The Catalyst for writers who are firmly against the United States’ destruction of the SWANA region and deliberate dehumanization of Black, Brown, and Indigenous lives globally.
The title of the zine “دل به دل راه دارد” is a common Iranian saying roughly translating to “hearts have paths to one another” or “hearts connect to each other” in English. The saying is pronounced del be del rah dareh. As a collective of creatives, our hearts connect to our kindred in Iran and others across the SWANA region impacted by empire, colonialism, and other violence.
