Dan Johnson has been reporting from the Iran-Turkey border for several weeks.

From the city of Van, he told us what he'd been hearing from people who'd recently arrived there.

They can't work out for themselves where this is heading and what they should do to try to keep themselves safe.

Iranians I've spoken to have talked about how they feel they can't trust Donald Trump, how he's not a man of his word.

But they also see that the regime is not going to give in, is not going to crumble.

Was it frightening to join those protests?

It's very frightening.

People honestly expected something better from this United States and Israeli intervention, but I think it backfired at the moment because Iranian people right now seem to be trapped and caught between war on one hand

and domestic oppression, on the other hand, like a dilemma.

We thought that the American intervention would release us soon.

However, that freedom which we wanted didn't happen.

Many people, even many civilians, are getting killed because of those bombings.

And this is what happened to your family, right?

Tell us that story.

All the windows started shaking and breaking, and my father, 82 years old, was struck badly, taken to hospital, and

Later lost his life because of receiving such a shock.

And my house also damaged, the walls cracked down.

It was not habitable anymore.

I had to leave it.

Should the conflict continue?
