People in Iran have been describing their experiences as Israel and the US continue to bomb targets across the country.

According to BBC, the attacks began on Saturday morning with the killing of Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, shocking supporters and opponents.

Since then, military and strategic sites have been attacked day and night.

The authorities have blocked the internet, making it very difficult for people to communicate with the outside world.

Despite the restrictions, the BBC has managed to speak to some individuals. Their names have been changed to protect their identities.

Hossein, in the city of Karaj, west of the capital Tehran, said there was a big blast near his home on Monday.

“They hit Karaj so hard that the house was shaking. I heard the loud explosion [and] I’m just trying to get somewhere safe.”

He said it followed a night of heavy bombing.

“I counted 17 [explosions] in a row. People are waiting and worried about what’s going to happen next, beyond the strikes. Their biggest concern is that America will make an agreement [with the Iranian leadership] and back off.

“Last night, there were lots of government supporters on the streets, but I saw from their faces that they looked angry and furious. The security forces patrol during the night to frighten people. Bakeries and petrol stations are busy.

“The streets are not busy, and people are at their homes, but the current internet situation has made people furious. This is the third time the regime is cutting off internet this year.”
