After three days of Israeli airstrikes on Iran, Tehran residents say “nowhere feels safe.” Panic has gripped the capital, with long petrol queues and failed attempts to flee due to traffic. Many recall the Iran-Iraq war, but now there are no sirens—just sudden explosions. Over 128 people have died in Iran, while 10 Israelis were killed in Iranian missile retaliation. Locals express fear, stress, and uncertainty. “This is not our war,” said one woman. Israel's call for Iranians to rise for freedom hasn’t resonated, as most focus on survival amid destroyed homes, unstable internet, and fear of more bombings. (PC: Reuters, Getty Images)
