Iranians have told BBC Persian that they are exhausted and struggling to sleep after 10 days of Israeli and US attacks, as explosions “every few hours” rocked Tehran and the nearby city of Karaj overnight and cut power.
“I was in total darkness last night,” one man in his 30s from Tehran said, while others reported temporary blackouts or power fluctuations.
“I’m feeling terrible. They hit a street near us today. I just want to be able to sleep tonight,” a man in his 20s in the capital said.
Another in his 20s in Tehran said “we’re still alive,” but added that “where missiles hit is getting closer and closer every day.”
