Fergal KeaneSpecial correspondent


A lady bases on a rooftop listening to the noises of the city below. There is just the dull hum of traffic tonight. But she knows how easily that can alter. It is normally the pets who see the noise very first and begin to bark intensely. The sound of airplane. Then the ominous percussion of surges. A ball of orange increasing from an airstrike in a familiar area.


The BBC has obtained footage and interviews from Tehran which stimulate a city of nerves, of consistent waiting on the next blast and unrelenting worry of the state security apparatus.


Baran - not her real name - is a businesswoman in her thirties. She is now too terrified to go to work. "With the start of the drone attacks, no one dares to go outside. If I open my door and step out, it is like betting with my life."


She lives alone however remains in constant communication with her good friends. "My buddies and I message each other continuously asking where everyone is ... and even when there is no noise the silence itself is terrifying. I am doing whatever I can to stay alive and witness whatever lies ahead."


Thus numerous young Iranians, Baran saw her hopes of change ravaged in current months. Countless individuals were eliminated in a crackdown by program forces in January after widespread demonstrations demanding modification.


"I can not even keep in mind how I used to live in the past without being advised of the loved one I lost throughout the demonstrations," she states. "I fear tomorrow. I fear the individual I will be tomorrow. Today, I survive in some way, but how will I get through tomorrow? That is the real question. Will I even live through tomorrow?"


Now repression is overall. Open dissent is impossible as the state's watchers are all over. Footage we acquired programs routine advocates driving through the city at night, flags flying from their automobiles - a message to any who may be lured to protest.


The main story is the only one permitted. State tv broadcasts footage of demonstrations and funerals. Interviews with pro-regime officials and protestors provide duplicated denunciations of America and Israel. In government propaganda the Iranian people are proclaimed as going to suffer martyrdom.


Independent journalists still try to collect testament that uses a reputable alternative view, however they risk of arrest, torture and potentially even worse. As one of them told me: "In wartime conditions you actually don't know what they are capable of doing."
