Despite #Iran’s internet blackout, I regularly receive text and voice messages from within the country - people talking about life under attack. One was from a forty-something man, who sounded really low.
"I’m freaking out," he says. He describes seeing "a lot of fighter jets" and hearing "five or six explosions".
Although the war itself is in the headlines, "the people inside Iran have been forgotten", he says.
In his view, all the media talks about is what Trump has said and how Iran responded. "Even Iranians abroad are mostly either dancing and congratulating #Israel, the US, and #Trump, or tearing each other apart," he says.
Meanwhile, inside Iran, he is seeing people "nearly break from fear" at the sound of a door slamming. "When I call someone and they don’t answer, I almost have a heart attack," he says.https://www.bbc.com/news/live/ceqvwrydzpqt?post=asset%3Ae6ed32b6-47f2-4d7f-a4f7-506d1e5296e9#post #IranRevolution #IranProtests
