Paralysed and constantly caught by surprise
After the US strikes in Iran, residents are speaking out about their shock and paralysis. Despite the US government's assurances that the attacks were targeted and limited in scope, many Iranians feel caught in the crossfire of the ongoing US-Iran conflict.
Voice of an Iranian resident
"I was at home with my family when we heard the news. We were paralysed by what was happening. We didn't know what to do or how to protect ourselves. It was like we were constantly caught off guard. We are tired of living like this. We want peace."
Voice of another Iranian resident
"I understand that the US government wants to deescalate tensions, but these strikes only serve to fuel more anger and resentment towards them. It feels like we are being attacked on all fronts, both economically and militarily. When will it end?"
No clear understanding of what's to come
The Iranian residents feel increasingly uncertain and afraid about what the future may hold, as tensions between the US and Iran show no signs of easing.
