Mohsen: 我居住在德黑兰附近，以伊朗冲突爆发后，我们遭受了猛烈的轰炸和空袭。国家电视台却粉饰太平，这让我感到被嘲弄。生活也变得艰难，停电频繁，想出门购物却发现银行卡无法使用，幸运的是我们还有一些现金。我家附近的军事基地被摧毁，情况非常糟糕，我的家人都离开了，只剩下我和我的妻子。 Narges: 我住在伊斯法罕，冲突爆发后我根本无力离开这座城市。我的丈夫是按日计酬的，如果他不工作，我们家就没有收入来源。现在城市里到处都在排队，面包店、加油站都挤满了人。更糟糕的是，食品价格已经翻了一番。有钱人早就逃到安全的酒店里了，而我们无处可去，也没有钱。 Ali: 我来自德黑兰附近的卡拉季，这个政权压迫了我们四十年，我们怎么可能支持他们或为他们而战？我们坚信这个政权已经走到了尽头。甚至有消息说，总统已经要求部长们将权力移交给副手，许多官员担心自己的生命安全，或者正在逃离。我真心希望人民能够走上街头，推翻这个腐朽的政权。我已经一无所有，但我不能不为我的孩子们考虑。
