Fear and stress, my sister’s voice in Tehran, despite the flutter, the occasional NealsApp connection – miraculously – still works from time to time.
Clarity is what I want from me, I know I’m a journalist with the BBC in London.
“What will happen? What should we do?” asks. US President Donald Trump said that people in Tehran should evacuate. “Serious?”
Thursday night, Tehran was repeatedly bombed by Israeli aircraft that seemed freely in the heavens of the capital. They are met with fire – it is mainly ineffective.
From the window in the upper floors of a high-rise building, my sister can clearly see the movement that has little to calm down.
The Israeli army ordered people in his district – extends several kilometers in all directions – to evacuate. But he chose to stay.
He told me that as much as he knows, there were no military targets near the housing block.
Again, he was interested in a nearby trade unit, believed, by revolutionary guards – can be a target. He did not know what the company actually did.
Many people do not know who their neighbors are or whether there are military goals, because most revolutionary guards are more than hidden and secret.
Electricity and water still exist in many parts of the capital, but the food supply works down.
Many stores are closed and closes their doors. Even bread-cookers are closed – some others missed the owners of others, because of the lack of flour.
My sister refused to leave the city as opposed to hundreds of thousands – perhaps millions – no longer have anywhere to be.
Despite the lack of jam-filled roads and gasoline, many residents fled in recent days.
Tehran streets once traffic jams, once with traffic, now silent.
Those who are difficult to fear the attacks.
Recent reports have started to make the long queues in gas stations, and the roads outside the capital are offered.
Residents living near the country’s nuclear facilities face extra fears of radioactive pollution, because these sites have repeatedly targeted by Israeli holidays in recent days.
The global nuclear guard said that the level of radioactivity outside the two attacks on Friday to this day is unchanged.
People ask how all this will take and how long they will last.
Many now trust the Persian-speaking TV channels abroad abroad.
The BBC Persian TV service and its website became the main sources. Although the web traffic inside Iran has almost doubled overnight, although most of the Internet will painfully slow down.
Trump called on Iran to surrender, but Iran’s supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, announced that Iran will not surrender.
Less Iranians sympathize with the regime, but many fear that chaos and lawlessness can be followed if significantly violated.
