“Ordinary people suffered the most,” says Sirus, Iran, who asked for his name for his safety.
Speaking to the BBC from the hometown of Tehran, he says, “I believe that the whole war was organized.
“Israel and the United States came and destroyed military and nuclear places, Iran launched several missiles, got into the US base, and both sides are satisfied,” he says, “he adds that the Iranian people who suffer.
Sirous is one of the millions of Iranians whose emotions are controversial because the ceasefire was announced between Iran and Israel.
This happens 12 days of beats between the two sides. Health Minister Iran said on Tuesday that 606 people were killed, although independent groups estimate the death toll twice.
The war aroused in the Iranians a combination of fear, despair and – among some of the flicker of hope. Some are afraid of their security and the future of their country, while others believe whether the conflict may lead to real political changes.
Like sirous, Minoo is not her real name – she is afraid of the impact on the Iranian people.
“What really scares me,” she says, “is the destruction of the war in combination with the sanctions and the dead economy that causes the regime’s greed.
“We paid the price, with our money and our lives, and we will pay.
“We, the Iranian people, are exhausted. We do not want war, we do not want sanctions, and we don’t even want to stop the fire. We just want to live in the world in the country we love.”
She adds: “What frightens me more than war or even ceasefire is a wounded and humiliated Islamic Republic. They could not prevail (over) the United States, and now the Iranian people are within their reach, they multiply shootings and torture.”
According to the head of the UN human rights rights, the Iranian authorities were shot dead in Iran. At least 901 people were shot in Iran.
BBC journalists cannot report from within Iran from the country’s government’s restrictions. BBC Persian does not have an office and talks to Iranians via WhatsApp and Telegram.
Mehdi also reports the BBC that he believes that they are concerned about the expenses of war that people will be carried, not the regime.
“The government will prefer to restore its military and nuclear capabilities about investment in the state infrastructure.
“And they know how to use the dead best, using their death to remain silent.”
He adds: “They can offer temporary freedoms, but it will not last.”
The ceasefire – declared by Donald Trump – came into force on Tuesday morning, but was quickly pressured because both parties accused others of violating the agreement.
Explosions in the northern province of Mazandaran were heard in the province of Iran on Tuesday.
Sarah, also not her real name, says she felt the combination of anxiety and confusion when the truce began.
“I didn’t believe in the ceasefire, it is most likely,” she says.
Others who talked to the BBC similarly cynically about the viability of the ceasefire.
“This cessation of fire will definitely collapse,” says Arman, not his real name. “Israel has not achieved all its goals … the regime must fall.”
Kiyan, also alias, added: “This ceasefire is just a trap to lure (Iranian High leader Ayatollah Ali) Khamenei from his hole.
“Israel and the United States never take steps without purpose.”
He adds that he does not think this truce will continue and that it will end sooner or later: “This war will not end with ceasefire, the fall will fall. And the regime has no chance.”
Just a few hours after the truce was announced, the Israeli army claimed that Iran’s missiles had been fired from Iran.
Israel said he got into the Iranian radar, but then “abstained from further attacks” after Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu talked to Donald Trump.
Since the truce remains uncertain, all eyes are now in the sky to find out if calmly calm.
