Tehran residents on edge after month of war

TEHRAN: For Tehran resident Fatemeh, the highlight of her day in a city beset by deadly daily US-Israeli strikes in the now month-long war is to make the short journey to her local cafe. “When I make it to a cafe table, even for a few minutes, I can almost believe the world hasn’t ended,” said Fatemeh, 27, a dental assistant. “It feels like stepping out of this damn war and into an ordinary day, or at least imagining a world that is not filled with the constant fear of losing your life, or where you stay alive but lose a loved one or everything you have,” she said.
