As tensions escalate in the ongoing Israel-Iran conflict, Iranians voice their fears and sorrows amid U.S. military action.
In a shocking escalation of the Israel-Iran conflict, the United States has launched airstrikes on three Iranian nuclear facilities, igniting fears across Iran. Reports indicate that the recent violence has resulted in over 400 deaths and more than 3,000 injuries within just a week, prompting countless citizens to flee in search of safety.
Many Iranians shared their feelings of fear and uncertainty during phone interviews conducted on Sunday. “We’re all in shock — none of us expected that, within six or seven days, we’d reach this point,” noted Peyman, a 44-year-old business executive, who chose to remain anonymous for safety reasons. He described fleeing Tehran after narrowly escaping a missile strike during his commute.
Peyman has since relocated with several family members to a house in northern Iran, voicing grave concerns for the welfare of his young daughter. “I grew up in war, so the sound of bombardment doesn’t scare me, but I left because of my daughter,” he expressed, fearing an impending shortage of basic necessities like food and water.
As the sun rose on Sunday, many Iranians were met with the harrowing news of the U.S. attacks, leading to an outpouring of anger and sorrow throughout the nation. The public sentiment highlights the devastating impact the conflict is having on the daily lives of Iranian citizens.
