Iranians about life in Israeli attacks

“Stuck.” This is the word most people talking to BBC to describe life in Iran.

After three days of Israel’s attacks, “Tehran tries to avoid” Tehran, “said one BBC News Persian resident.

On Sunday, long queues were formed at the city’s gasoline stations. Many tried to get out of remote areas, away from any possible Israeli goal, but could not even get out of the province from a strong movement.

“Tehran is not safe, clear,” said one resident. “We do not receive signaling and warnings from officials about Israeli attacks. We just hear the explosions and hope that our place is unable. But where we can go? You don’t feel safe anywhere.”

One person who managed to move from Tehran to another province said: “I do not think I completely treated that I live in an active war, and I am not sure if I reach.”

“This is not my war. I don’t root in any way, I just want to survive with my family.”

From Friday, Israel hit Iran with his biggest wave of air strikes over the years.

Israel’s strikes have led to revenge on Iran, which launched missile attacks on Israel.

At least 10 people were killed in Israel. Iranian media, citing the Ministry of Health, reported that 128 people were killed on Saturday on Saturday.

One Iranian told the BBC that I couldn’t sleep for two nights: “I survived very tough situations.”

She said that the current situation reminded her of the explosions and go to the shelters during the Iran-Iraq war when she was a child.

“The difference is that then, at least, when the attack happened, we heard an air coating siren or at least warning before it happened. But now, during this bombing or any air coating, there are no sirens and warnings.”

Younger people born after the war do not know what it is, Ghoncheh Habibiazad BBC News said.

One woman in Tehran said she was considering leaving the city to avoid attacks.

“We all wanted to go to smaller cities or villages where we can go, but each of us has loved ones who can’t leave and we think about them,” she said. “The fact that we are experiencing is not right with any of us, Iran’s residents.”

“We are all trying to survive these days in fear, exhaustion and great stress, it is very difficult and painful.”

One resident of the capital said: “I can’t just leave Tehran. I can’t leave my older parents who can’t travel far and long and leave the city myself. Also, I need to show a job. What can I do now?”

The internet was unstable, so it is very difficult to keep in touch with people inside the country.

Many of those who live outside the country send messages to loved ones, hoping for the answer.

Some people also received warnings from the Israeli military asking Iranians to leave the districts near the military plots. People in Tehran seem most concerned about it.

“How should we know where the military site is and where is there?” said one.

Separately, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, in the Iranian message on the second day, said “Time came” for the Iranians to unite “, retreating for your freedom.”

However, people in the country still have decided to remain safe, and there is little evidence that Netanyahu’s call resonated on the ground, said Daryoush Karimi BBC News Persian.

Iran, perhaps the most shocked people, was the destruction of residential buildings, even more than attacks on nuclear facilities and airbases, BBC News Persian Pouyan Kalani said.

Many Iranians have not witnessed such scenes from the end of the war in Iran – especially not on the streets of the capital.

Many of those in Tehran and elsewhere are reminiscent of the confusion of Friday: what exactly is happening; How wide it was; And how could they protect themselves and their families?
