In a bumper, bonus edition of Battle Lines, we are talking to
Iranians themselves, those both inside and outside the country,
pro and anti regime, to get a sense of how the nation is
responding to these missile strikes, what the war could mean for
both the regime and ordinary people, and what comes next.

Emotions on the ground and among the diaspora are running
high, and the stakes are even higher. Israeli strikes have
hit targets across the country, in populated parts of Tehran and
other cities. Huge traffic jams have formed as people have tried
to flee the capitol. There are petrol shortages and shops are
closed. Iran hasn't seen this kind of attack since the war with
Iraq in the 1980s.

Fereshteh Sadeghi is a freelance Iranian journalist based in
Tehran, who considers herself a supporter of the regime. She
shares the conversations she's had on the streets of her city
about this war. Giving a very different perspective, we hear from
Holly Dagres, author of The Iranist, a foreign policy newsletter
for Iran watchers.

Plus we hear from Ali Vaez, the Iranian born Director of the Iran
programme at Crisis Group,who tells us why the diplomacy had
fallen apart so suddenly and dramatically, and whether there is
any hope it could restart. And author of What Iranians Want,
historian Arash Azizi, joins us to attempt to explain exactly
that; what do the Iranian people want?
