An Iranian woman describes daily life in Tehran amid the deal to stop Trump

An anonymous Iranian woman has bravely stepped out on the international stage to explain what is really going on in Tehran as President Donald Trump temporarily began a two-week ceasefire with Iran on Tuesday.

In an article published in The Australian, the anonymous author details nighttime explosions, sweeping checkpoints and communications blackouts as part of daily life in Iran since the start of operations launched by the United States and Israel in February.

“In reality, ordinary people have been turned into human shields in a large military base,” he wrote. “An overwhelming sense of anger, confusion and exhaustion has taken hold.”

The public execution of thousands of protesters by the Iranian regime in January prompted citizens to cheer in the first days of the US and Israeli military offensive as Operation Epic Fury began on Feb. 28.

“They said they hit the leader’s residence,” the writer’s daughter was quoted as saying. “All the kids were screaming and having fun … even our teacher was quietly snapping her fingers and dancing.”

The author describes the daily Iranian people who celebrate the death of the Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khamenei on the same Saturday, the streets of Tehran are filled with joy for the “death of the dictator”.

“Perhaps for the first time,” recalls the anonymous writer, “we allowed ourselves to believe that our long-held dream was beginning to take shape.”

But soon, the reality of daily life under a threatened, crumbling regime and constant attacks took its toll. One of the most difficult realities facing those at the grassroots level in Iran is the blackout of the Internet, which effectively cuts off communication with the outside world and leads to great uncertainty in the hands of the regime.

“So far, none of those close to us have been physically harmed, but there are no peaceful nights,” wrote the Iranian woman. “The most difficult thing is not just the war itself, but the possibility that it will end up leaving a powerful, oppressive, and very violent regime.”

According to the author, a stubborn pro-regime group still exists, blasting propaganda through loudspeakers at night on the streets of Tehran and consolidating its authority over those who support the revolution.

“The streets are now covered in checkpoints,” he wrote. “Under bridges and on highways, movement is restricted. Long lines of cars form. Young people are stopped, their phones checked using standard checks.”

After the announcement of the ceasefire between the US military and the Iranian regime on Tuesday, the author says that most of his country went to sleep that night “in a state of deep anxiety.”

“What is more difficult is not just the war itself, but the fact that it may end up leaving an even stronger, more oppressive, and more violent regime,” the author notes.

In conclusion, he calls for a cessation of hostilities that is not “abandonment,” but peace, which disturbs the Iranian regime.

“A ceasefire that stabilizes the current order, without addressing the needs that have brought Iranians to the streets for years, risks being perceived not as peace, but as abandonment,” the author said.

Talks between Iran and the US are expected to begin on Friday in Pakistan.

“We are waiting and we continue, in any way, to emphasize that the light will eventually overcome this darkness,” he concluded.

The Australian notes that the author remains anonymous “for fear of reprisal.”
