World Affairs correspondent Jia Gol has more details. We know in the past five weeks, I would say we are entering fifth weeks of the war, a large part of Iranian missile system and also military, military commanders, naval has been damaged or destroyed, severely damaged. But in reality, Iran still has a lot of cheap, hard to stop weapons. I mean, using a symmetric war like mines...

Suomessa on paljon missailijärjestöjä, jotka ovat työskenteleviä koko maan aikana. Yhdysvalloissa ja Israelissa on voinut poistaa missailijärjestöjä, mutta me olemme nähneet satelliittimateriaaleja, joita on näkynyt muutaman päivän aikana.

They reopened the gate and they made it operational again. But as I said, yes, this has been damaged. The commander has been killed. But so far what we have seen, Iran has shown resistance and the commanders, particularly the Revolutionary Guards, which in fact they are in charge of the government right now as well. I think we don't hear any message of backing off. It's a message of defiance we are hearing from them.

Even for Iranian regime not to lose it is a win. Surviving is a win. And obviously this also might empower those proxies in the region which has been loyally and supported by Iran, like Shia militias in Iraq or Hezbollah in Lebanon, Houthis in Yemen.

But in the end of the day, Iran also is fragile. The greatest danger for Iranian regime is its own people. Today, in the midst of this war, they executed a young man who was arrested during the protest just in January. It shows the regime is extremely worried about its own population, because the economy is in a dire situation. People believe the economy is crippling, and also in the same time, many people are worried about their own long-term future.

The security forces did not want to release Robina's body.

My sister snatched her and took her daughter into her arms and held her for four hours as she drove back to her hometown in Kurdistan.

The security forces then refused to allow her to bury her daughter in their city and they did not permit a funeral.

The regime is able to execute people under false allegations.

And I don't want to contact them to say something wrong, which could be maybe dangerous for them.

They are also loved ones from families inside Iran.

So it's very difficult.

I try to get as much information as possible, especially from the National Council of Resistance of Iran.

But I try to avoid to see all the movies and images which are very horrible from inside Iran.

And now look what will happen to it.

It's burning well.

Do you know how well it's burning, your Syrian passport?

Hi, Polina.

This is Nawal Al-Makhafi from the BBC.

I'm reaching out to you because I want to ask if you'd be willing to do an interview.
