Baran Abbasi from the BBC Persian service told us more about the situation there.

The airstrikes have continued.

And what we're hearing from the people, of course, there is a total internet blackout at the moment in Iran, almost total, and not that many people can connect to the outside world.

And some phone lines don't work either.

But we are hearing that people are traumatized and very afraid.

So the initial euphoria that we saw in the beginning of the war when former Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei was

killed in the airstrikes by Israel.

It's been replaced by the horrors of war at the moment.

There are no shelters, especially in Tehran, for the people to go to.

And there are no sirens before an airstrike happens.

And people would only know about them when they have happened.

They are trying to take shelter at home.

They are trying to stay at home.

But it's not possible for everyone to do so.

And because of the internet blackout, it's very difficult for the people to actually find out what is going on.

And state TV does not give them accurate information.

So they are confused and they are kept in darkness, basically.

The new Supreme Leader has now been installed.

Are there any rumours about when we might hear something from him?

So the state TV said that he was injured in the strikes that killed his father and also his mother, one of his three children and also some other family members of him.
