Tehran Residents Return Amid Fears of Ceasefire Collapse
Residents of Tehran are returning to their city, which has been heavily damaged by recent conflict, amid fears that a fragile ceasefire may not hold. The city is grappling with destroyed infrastructure, economic turmoil, and a tense atmosphere due to heavy surveillance by security forces. The internet blackout imposed by Iranian authorities has left many without access to online jobs, exacerbating the economic crisis. The ceasefire, agreed upon after intense US-Israeli bombardment, has allowed some semblance of normalcy, but the threat of renewed conflict looms large. Reports indicate that children are being used at checkpoints, raising concerns about the use of child soldiers.
