Tehran is cautiously returning to normal after a 12-day Israeli offensive left 627 dead and nearly 5,000 injured across Iran. The capital’s cafes and bazaars have reopened, but fear lingers. “We don’t trust this war has ended,” said head nurse Ashraf Barghi. The state TV complex, heavily damaged in a strike, symbolises the trauma. Israel claims it targeted military sites, but injured civilians, like prison staffer Morteza, dispute this. Citizens, from baristas to students, express a yearning for peace, freedom, and a future beyond sanctions and war. Patriotic concerts offer some solace, but Tehran remains deeply shaken. (PC: BBC)
