The bunting is out and the flags as Iran marks 47 years of their revolution.

But this is a truly momentous time in Iran, just weeks after the unprecedented protests were met by an unprecedented crackdown.

Iranians are facing crises on every front.

And so we're going to speak to some of them to see what's on their mind.

You said dangerous?

Okay, we understand, we understand.

It's a very sensitive time.

We might hear it more than usual.

Dori, and how old are you?

What's the main worry on your mind these days?

And can I ask what you do know about this last month?

What's your message to your leaders then after this terrible moment?

It's 47 years of the Islamic Revolution.

What is your message to your leaders then at this time?

This is a deeply worrying time, a painful time.

And for the leadership of Iran, a defining moment.

Never has the leadership faced a challenge on this scale.

This kind of unrest and dissatisfaction and anger at home and growing threats from abroad.

This Islamic Revolution anniversary is unlike any this country has known.

At least 10 people have been killed in Canada in the western province of British Columbia.
