Los Angeles: More than half a million people of Iranian origin live in the United States, including nearly 300,000 in California. Between cautious hope for the future and deep concern for loved ones who remain in their homeland, the Iranian-American community in Los Angeles has been watching closely as events unfold in their homeland.

According to France24.com, the recent US strikes have stirred a mix of emotions among the Iranian community in Los Angeles, often referred to as “Tehrangeles” due to its large Iranian population.
