Today's Tuesday, May 12th.
Here's what we're covering.
I've been hearing from a lot of Iranians over the past month or so.
And I think for those who at one point supported some kind of military action, whether by the U.S.
Or by Israel, because they opposed the government and wanted to see the government fall,
there 's been a lot of despondency at sort of what the last couple months have brought to Iran.
They have come to the conclusion that military action has only kind of made their situation worse inside Iran.
My colleague Yegana Torbati has been speaking with Iranians about what life is like on the ground there now.
She 's been able to reach people through text messages and voice memos in the brief windows
when they can get an internet connection.
She says people who oppose the regime say the government has only become more hardline and more entrenched since the war
began, and the conditions in their everyday lives are deteriorating.
