Summary
Every Saturday, we revisit a story from the archives. This originally aired on February 3rd, 2020. None of the dates, titles, or other references from that time have been changed.
At the beginning of 2020, under the presidency of Donald Trump, the US and Iran stepped back from the edge of war. But Trump did bring more than a thousand sanctions, and for Iranians, that has meant normal life often feels like war.

- Dorsa Jabbari (@DorsaJabbari), Al Jazeera Correspondent
- Lili Ghazian, Founder and Owner at Aroosi
