Myth of liberation: As war rages, trapped Iranians 'curse' the regime, the Americans & the Israelis

Haxie Meyers-Belkin is pleased to welcome Borzou Daragahi, award-winning international correspondent and investigative reporter. As Iran marks Nowruz, the Persian New Year, war intrudes into civilian spaces. The psychological terrain is marked less by overt anger than by fatigue, resignation, and a deepening sense of entrapment. A media blackout and communication breakdowns intensify this isolation, eroding social cohesion and amplifying uncertainty. External narratives of “liberation” fail to resonate with civilians who find themselves in survival mode. #Iran #War #Nowruz 🔔 Subscribe to France 24 now: https://f24.my/YTen 🔴 LIVE - Watch FRANCE 24 English 24/7 here: https://f24.my/YTliveEN 🌍 Read the latest International News and Top Stories: https://www.france24.com/en/ Like us on Facebook: https://f24.my/FBen Follow us on X: https://f24.my/Xen Bluesky: https://f24.my/BSen and Threads: https://f24.my/THen Browse the news in pictures on Instagram: https://f24.my/IGen Discover our TikTok videos: https://f24.my/TKen Get the latest top stories on Telegram: https://f24.my/TGen
