Iranians share messages describing life in the midst of war

Season 2026 Episode 57 | 9m 02s

As the U.S. and Israeli war with Iran unfolds, one of the most difficult perspectives to hear has been that of ordinary Iranians because of repressive measures inside the country. Among the 4 million outside Iran, there are deep and bitter divisions over the impact of the war. Special correspondent Leila Molana-Allen spoke with Iranians living inside and outside the country.
