What is it like to experience war from inside Iran?

In this episode of Iran Unveiled, we discuss the recent Iran–Israel conflict and explore how it has affected ordinary people living in Iran. Rather than focusing solely on military developments, we examine the human impact, public sentiment, media coverage, and the wider political context surrounding the conflict.

We also discuss how international reporting can shape perceptions of Iran, why context matters when following events in the region, and what it feels like to watch these events unfold through the eyes of people with firsthand experience of the country.

Whether you're trying to better understand the Iran–Israel conflict, interested in Middle Eastern politics, or looking for perspectives that go beyond breaking news, this episode offers thoughtful discussion and personal insight.
