The US President announced new strikes on Iran, characterizing them as retribution following attacks on ships in the Strait of Hormuz. Iranian state media reported multiple explosions across various locations. A US official indicated that Wednesday's strikes were anticipated to be more extensive than those conducted on Tuesday. Sahar, a teacher in Tehran, described a climate of fear among families, who remain alert nightly with bags packed, worried about residential areas being targeted. She expressed the Iranian people's exhaustion and desire for peace, dignity, and a normal life, not another war. Meena, a graphic designer, highlighted the amplified uncertainty among young Iranians due to the fresh strikes. This generation already grapples with economic hardship and restricted freedoms. She noted that her generation has experienced sanctions, protests, internet shutdowns, and now missile attacks. Meena emphasized that young Iranians are individuals striving for work, study, love, and a future. However, each crisis further jeopardizes their prospects.
