Under a fragile ceasefire between Iran and the United States, uncertainty dominates public sentiment as citizens cautiously return home after weeks of conflict. Many report that strikes targeted military sites, though some recount civilian suffering and ongoing fear. At border crossings with Turkey, returning Iranians express anxiety over the truce’s durability, with some doubting it will hold. Concerns persist over Iran’s control of the Strait of Hormuz and continued geopolitical tensions. With airports still shut and infrastructure damaged, daily life remains disrupted. Public opinion reflects deep mistrust of Washington and scepticism about prospects for a lasting agreement despite ongoing diplomatic efforts.
