A Tehran resident in her 30s, whose identity is protected, spoke with Agence France-Presse about life in the city amidst ongoing attacks. Following the start of the war, many residents, particularly those near potential targets, left Tehran. The resident reports a difficult financial situation, with her job halted and reliance on savings. While shopping is still possible, petrol rationing has been implemented, with limits reduced from 30 to 20 liters, and some stations capping it at five. Hospitals are reportedly functioning normally. Despite the challenges, some residents are staying due to financial constraints and assurances of civilian safety.
