Following a recent U.S. attack on Iran's nuclear sites, many Iranians express their anguish and desperation as the conflict escalates amid ongoing hostilities.
The recent escalation in the Israel-Iran war has brought about devastating consequences for Iran’s 90 million citizens, with over 400 reported dead and more than 3,000 injured, as per the country’s Health Ministry. In the wake of a U.S. military assault on three of its nuclear sites, citizens have expressed profound feelings of fear and uncertainty regarding their future.
Peyman, a 44-year-old business executive who spoke on the condition of anonymity, remarked, “We’re all in shock — none of us expected that, within six or seven days, we’d reach this point.” After narrowly escaping a missile strike during his commute, he evacuated Tehran with his family, now seeking refuge in northern Iran. His primary concern remains for his young daughter, as he fears potential shortages of vital resources like water and food.
As news of the American attack spread, many Iranians awoke feeling a mix of sorrow and outrage. The emotional landscape is further complicated by the immediate humanitarian crisis, as countless families have fled to safer regions or neighboring countries. The ongoing conflict continues to impact daily life, leaving many grappling with the harsh realities of war and its far-reaching effects.
