We want peace': Iranians try to maintain semblance of normal life as conflict drags on
"More and more, people are starting to normalise this war. It's difficult, but we're adapting and trying to return to our daily lives as much as possible. There's no alternative. We're tired. We just want peace."
"These conflicting realities are bizarre. I also went for coffee and chocolate cake with friends on what felt like a sunny spring day."
Following Nowruz, Iranians in Tehran are attempting to resume normal life despite ongoing airstrikes and explosions. Many are normalizing the war, with individuals like Farhad expressing a desire for peace. While schools remain closed, businesses are gradually reopening. Aylar, a human rights worker, highlights the bizarre contrast of enjoying spring while facing conflict. The official death toll stands at around 1,500, but estimates suggest it may exceed 3,000, indicating the severity of the situation.
