## Resource

Getting a journalist visa for Iran is not an easy feat at the best of times, and this is not the best of times. ABC Asia editor Karishma Vyas talks to Kylie and Latika from Tehran, where she's had a glimpse of how the capital is operating in wartime, the control still exercised by the authorities, and the level of need felt by everyday citizens.
