"One Iranian citizen, who asked not to be named for security reasons, told DW that the ceasefire had not eased the deeper fear now spreading among many people. 'Now that there is a ceasefire and the regime did not change, there is real concern that the government will become harsher with people and that the atmosphere will become even more suffocating,' the source said."
"Iranian state messaging has portrayed the ceasefire as proof that Iran's 'victory on the battlefield' will now be secured politically. But that is not how many inside the country are experiencing this moment."
A conditional two-week ceasefire between the US and Iran has been established, yet many in Iran feel increased anxiety rather than peace. Iranian officials claim a political victory, asserting that they have resisted military pressure. However, citizens express concerns that the unchanged political system may lead to harsher government repression. The ceasefire is seen as a temporary pause, with fears that the situation could deteriorate again. Negotiations for a permanent deal are set to take place, but both sides remain cautious about the future.
