A sense of uncertainty prevailed in Iran after an Israeli retaliatory strike. Explosions kept some awake, while others hoped life would go back to normal.
Iranians voiced a sense of anxiety and uncertainty on Saturday after a round of retaliatory strikes by Israel on their country, but some said they felt a dim hope about what may lie ahead.
“Today at work, everyone was speaking of the attacks,” said Soheil, a 37-year-old engineer who lives in the central city of Isfahan. His colleagues saw some reason for hope that a wider war could be averted, given that Israel attacked only military targets on Saturday, he added.
“It seems that people are hopeful that soon the situation will be back to normal,” he told The New York Times when reached by telephone.
“The vibe is not normal, though, at the moment,” he said. “People are experiencing different emotions: Some are worried, some indifferent and some are even happy, because they believe that Israel attacks will humble the regime a bit.”
I think it is good to talk with people in Iran to show that they indeed normal people with normal emotions.
Still i find the headline a bit weird. Anyone normal will be freaked out by bombs and missiles hitting close to their homes.
I’m not sure that the headline is saying that it’s not normal to be freaked out – just that people are freaked out.
