But a week on, while some people are still celebrating every strike on the regime, others are increasingly frightened, questioning the motives and endgame of the war.

"The goal of this war isn't to bring about freedom or democracy for the Iranian people," Ali told us.

"It's for the geopolitical benefit of Israel, the US and Arab countries in the region."

---snip---
Saeed told us: "Trump's government – from top to bottom – they're all lying. They had no reason to attack Iran. Other than Israel wanted them to."

I can’t imagine what the women of Iran has gone through the last 40+ years.

AMANPOUR: Mehdi Mahmoudian, welcome to our program from Tehran. I can't tell you how pleased we are to have you. Can you just tell me how it is for you? What it is like, the bombing? How do you feel about it?

MEHDI MAHMOUDIAN: What happened in the streets of Tehran and after the war in Tehran brought out two different feelings in us. One was a sense of joy that those who had played a role in suppressing the people, those who had killed thousands of people in the streets or had ordered massacres were killed and were no longer there to continue the repression.

On the other hand, we were sad that our country had been invaded and the countries had attacked our country based on their own interests. And these
feelings can be easily seen on the faces of the people, both joy at the death of the dictator and sadness that the war had begun and that it would
probably bring decades of suffering to Iran.

That sounds familiar. Who said that? About Gaza?

The two lying psychopaths running this illegal "war".

Easy for them to cheer from the comfort of Europe or America.
