Tehran is witnessing a dramatic clash of geopolitics and day-to-day life. On Monday, amid a tense backdrop of missile and drone launches—actions following massive U.S. airstrikes on Iranian nuclear facilities during the Trump era—Israeli forces struck Iranian government targets in the city.
A CGTN stringer captured striking scenes that reveal the impact on ordinary residents: damaged buildings that tell a story of sudden upheaval, a taxi stand near a subway station operating at less than 30% of its usual capacity, and a vibrant local bazaar that unexpectedly became a focal point during an Israeli attack.
For many in Tehran, these snapshots underscore how conflict reshapes everyday routines. Much like the bustling streets and markets in South and Southeast Asia, everyday resilience still shines through despite the chaos. It’s a reminder that life goes on, even in the most turbulent moments. Stay safe and keep the hope alive! 😊
