US-Israel war with Iran: What's life like inside Iran now? | The Global Story

Описание: Iranians living in Tehran have told the BBC what they think of the war and revealed how the conflict has affected their day to day lives.

In recent days, attacks on ships in the Strait of Hormuz has raised fears that an already fragile ceasefire between the US and Iran could collapse.

Donald Trump's "Project Freedom", which began on Monday, aimed to use the US military to escort cargo ships out of Strait of Hormuz.

Iran, however, insists that it controls the key waterway and has warned that it is “just getting started” in the Strait of Hormuz. This escalation of hostilities risks tipping the region back into full-scale war.

As the conflict enters its third month with no clear end in sight, there has been mounting anxiety about what comes next. But what is the view inside Iran?

In today’s episode we speak to the BBC’s Chief International Correspondent, Lyse Doucet who recently returned from a ten day trip to Tehran where she spoke to government officials and ordinary Iranians about their fears and expectations as this war continues.
