Iranians Face Fear and Relief After Fragile Cease-Fire

A temporary halt in fighting has brought a tense calm to Iran, following a nearly six-week war. Citizens expressed relief that the violence has stopped, but many also feel deep anxiety about what comes next. The pause in conflict is seen as unstable and could break down at any time. A major concern for some is the Iranian government itself. They fear that authorities may now increase pressure on domestic critics and political opponents at home. The situation remains uncertain as the country begins to recover from the conflict.
