I feel paralysed. I just stare at the ceiling all day and all night."

"I keep wondering what will happen next, and we are constantly caught by surprise."

Shahla - whose name we have changed for her protection - is among the Iranians who have contacted BBC Persian to express their fear and anger after the US bombed three of their country's key nuclear sites overnight.

US President Donald Trump said the Isfahan, Natanz and Fordo facilities were "obliterated" and told Iran's leaders that they now had a choice of "peace or tragedy".

But Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said the US had crossed "a big red line" and warned that it would have "everlasting consequences".
