Life of Iranians Amid War and Repressive Control
本站:原文:

Today's Iranians live under two dangers.

On one hand, missiles and airstrikes from Israel and the United States threaten their safety; on the other hand, there are more armed patrols and checkpoints on the streets, where soldiers stop cars, question pedestrians, and sometimes check phones.

Many people have to be careful every day about what they say, where they go, and whom they trust, because a single word or message can cause big trouble.

zàizhè yàng这样dehuán jìng环境ān jìng安静yí dìng一定biǎo shì表示tóng yì同意hěn duō很多rénzhǐ shì只是wèi le为了bǎo hù保护zì jǐ自己

In such an environment, silence does not necessarily mean agreement; many people are just trying to protect themselves.

After the war starts, the internet often goes down, information is scarce, and even family members may lose contact.

Many places lack sufficient air defense systems and clear alarms, so people often only realize danger when explosions happen.

For ordinary families, this is not a distant political issue but a real daily worry: whether children can go to school safely, whether family members can get needed medicine, and whether tomorrow will be worse.

Iranians face not only war but also long-term fear and uncertainty.
