BBC reports from Sanaei Ghaznavi street in central Tehran, where residents describe living through economic crisis worsened by war and 50-day internet shutdown. Interviews with shopkeepers, an architect and workers reveal desperation as bread prices triple and up to four million jobs may be lost. Despite a shaky ceasefire and US-Iran negotiations, many express exhaustion with an economy 'that keeps getting worse', while others gather nightly at Vali-e Asr Square to show pro-government solidarity.

BBC chief international correspondent Lyse Doucet is reporting from Tehran under restrictions that prevent her material from being used on the BBC Persian Service.
