“Ordinary people suffered the most,” an Iranian, who requested to replace their names for their safety.
Talking to the BBC from his home city in Tehran, he says: “I believe the whole war was orchestrated.
“Israel and the US came to the US and destroyed military and nuclear sites, Iran launched some missiles, hit an American base, and both sides are satisfied,” they say – but it says that it is left to suffer Iranians.
Sirus is one of the millions of Iranians, whose sentiments have been disputed since the declaration of ceasefire between Iran and Israel.
It comes after 12 days of attacks between the two sides. Iran’s Health Minister said on Tuesday that 606 people have been killed, although independent groups estimate that the toll of death is twice.
The war has mixed fear, disappointment, and some – flicker of hope within the Iranians. Their safety and some fear for the future of their country, while others estimate whether the conflict can enter into real political changes.
Like Sirus, Minu – not his real name – fear of influence on Iranian people.
“She really intimidates me,” she says, “is the devastation of a combined war with restrictions and a dead economy, brought by the greed of all governance.
“We have paid the price with our money and with our lives, and we will keep paying.
“We, the Iranian people are tired. We do not want war, we don’t want a ban, and we don’t even want a ceasefire. We just want to live peacefully in the country we love.”
She says: “One who scares me more than war or even a ceasefire is an injured and humiliated Islamic Republic. They cannot be strong [over] America and now Iranians are within their reach, they will multiply execution and torture. ,
According to the United Nations Human Rights Head, Iranian officials torn over dissatisfaction, a crack that intensified after widespread protests in 2022. At least 901 people were allegedly executed in Iran last year.
BBC journalists are unable to report from inside Iran due to restrictions by the country’s government. The BBC Persian does not have an office there and talks to the Iranians through WhatsApp and Telegram.
Mehdi also told the BBC that he feels that the cost of war will be borne by the people and not the governance.
“The government will prioritize reconstruction of its military and nuclear capabilities on investing in public infrastructure.
“And they know that the dead are better exploiting anything, using their deaths and using their deaths.”
He says: “They can provide temporary freedom to people, but it will not work.”
The ceasefire declared by Donald Trump came into force on Tuesday morning, but was quickly under pressure as the two sides accused of violating the agreement.
Explosions were heard in Iran’s northern Majandaran province on Tuesday.
Sara, also does not have his real name, says that he felt anxiety and confusion like -as the Trus started.
“I didn’t believe the ceasefire, it’s not their possibility,” she says.
Other people who talk to the BBC are equally condemned about the feasibility of ceasefire.
“This ceasefire will definitely collapse,” Armaan says, not his real name. “Israel has not achieved all its goals … Governance should fall.”
Kian, also a pseudonym, said: “This ceasefire is just a trap [Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali] Khamenei out of your hole.
“Israel and America never make tricks without any purpose.”
He says that he does not think that this truss will run and it will end soon or later: “This war will not end with a ceasefire, it will end with the collapse of this regime. And the regime does not create a chance.”
Just hours after the announcement of the Trus, the Israeli army claimed that missiles were fired from inside Iran, a claim that Iran refused.
Israel said that it killed the Iranian radar array, but then PM Benjamin Netanyahu “avoided further attacks” after PM Benjamin Netanyahu spoke to Donald Trump.
As the Trus remains uncertain, all the eyes are now on the sky as to what will remain calm.
