Then, there were the Iranians who supported the regime.

Many of those people were grieving.

But others were angry and pledged to fight against the American and Israeli invaders.

One Iranian who supported the regime said he heard people chanting death to Trump.

Every day the bombs are being dropped.

When it came to Trump's call to overthrow the government, many of those opposed to the regime said it didn't make sense to take to the streets in protest.

It was too dangerous.

One source told me her friend's daughter was shot and killed on the street by what she described as pro-regime forces.

Another told me her neighbor was at work when he was killed by an airstrike.

We weren't able to verify these stories.

Still, there were other more complicated reasons people hadn't done the thing President Trump had imagined.

Reasons that were decades old and rooted in the very idea of resistance in Iran.

I found two people who told me that much deeper story.

Two people who have very different views on the war and the best way to change Iran.

I've reached a source who I'm going to refer to by his first initial, C. He was at his aunt's apartment in Europe.

He had left Iran just days before the war broke out.

He initially tried to go back.

His wife, his family, they were all in Tehran.

But at that time, with airstrikes ongoing, there were no flights back home.

It was a strange position to be in, locked outside your country while it was under attack.
