It's truly hell here: airstrikes, repression and water shortages become new normal for Iranians

Airstrikes are hitting cities in Iran. Many people there are worried about the continuing conflict and problems with human rights. Life is getting harder for them.

Bandar Abbas, a city where the Iranian navy is based, has been hit by strikes every night for almost two weeks. A writer there, who is 37, said that people are starting to accept this as their new reality. He said they feel less afraid because they have to live with the situation.

For people living near the port, loud noises and power cuts have become normal. Mehnaz, aged 39, works online and has had problems with internet shutdowns. She said, My earnings are lower. The war makes daily life harder with bombs, power cuts, and internet problems. It's truly hell here.

Another city, Jask, was also reportedly hit. It is said that US strikes hit ships and damaged a water plant. This left 20 villages without drinking water. Moein, who lives in Jask, said that people are worried about future attacks and are saving water.
