Iranians and Israelis

Since Israel launched its attack on Iran, targeting the country’s nuclear capabilities, air strikes by both sides have killed and injured people in both countries.

We hear from three Iranians living abroad who tell us about their concerns for family and friends in Iran. Two friends – one Israeli and one Iranian – join us to explain their search for common ground.

We also bring together Israelis who share their experiences of Iran’s missile and drone attacks, and the rush to the shelters. “It’s a case of going to sleep and not knowing when you have to wake up again,” David in Jerusalem tells us. “One of the missiles fell in the street where my mother lives, and she’s a holocaust survivor by the way, so this is fairly traumatising for all of us here.”
