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

Direct talks between the US and Iran are set to begin in Switzerland despite the Iranian military saying it has closed the Strait of Hormuz again over Israel’s attacks on southern Lebanon.
Iran also cited a breach of its agreement with the US to end the war as a reason for the closure.
However, the US military has said “traffic continues to flow” in the strait.

The Met Office has issued an amber extreme heat warning for parts of southern and eastern England and south Wales.
The warning is valid for Monday and Tuesday and warns of temperatures peaking at 35C (95F).
The nights will also be hot, remaining above 20C in some locations.
It brings the risk of impacts to health, especially for vulnerable people, and the danger of sunburn and heat exhaustion in the wider population.
This is only the sixth amber extreme heat warning that has been issued by the Met Office since they were introduced in 2021 – and the first since August 2022.
Heat has also been building across Europe this week and will continue to intensify over the next few days.

The BookTok community has erupted after creator AllieRoseCo announced she had trademarked merchandise featuring the phrase ‘Hot Girls Read’. User backlash was instantaneous, with many accusing her of attacking small businesses and even betraying her own followers. On this episode, Marianna explains why BookTok is such an influential marketing demographic on TikTok, and what this controversy tells us about the fragility of influencer careers tied exclusively to a personal brand.
Also this week, a viral photo which appears to show Donald Trump meeting with a group of mysterious figures has led to a raft of theories about their identities. One of the most prominent narratives to emerge is that the men are representatives of the mythical kingdom Agartha. Matt dives deep into the lore on Agartha, and its adoption by Nazi occultists. Why has this theory seen such a resurgence among young people on TikTok, and how dangerous is the implicit ideology behind it?
