Iranians and Israelis

Iranians and Israelis share their experiences of conflict.

Since Israel launched its attack on Iran, targeting the country鈥檚 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 鈥 one Israeli and one Iranian 鈥 join us to explain their search for common ground.

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