In Iran, a war-weary population met with cautious relief the news of diplomatic progress between their government and the Trump administration as an initial agreement took shape.

Even as their government, and President Donald Trump, vie to hold up the agreement as evidence of victory, many ordinary Iranians say the war has yielded nothing but devastation. Over five weeks of active combat, U.S. and Israeli airstrikes hit more than 13,000 military, industrial and political targets in Iran, damaging or destroying thousands of structures and killing more than 1,700 civilians, including more than 150 children at a school on the war’s first day.
