‘If they don’t stop, Tehran will turn into Gaza’: Iranians describe night of terror

People tell of scenes of panic during airstrikes on Iran’s capital, with several saying they feared they would die

Sleeplessness, fear and exhaustion gripped residents of Tehran as successive waves of strikes struck the Iranian capital, judging from messages sent by people in the city after the latest overnight onslaught, which several described as the worst bombardment in six days of war.

With Iran imposing a near-total internet blackout, information emerging from inside the country is fragmentary and difficult to verify. But in a series of accounts sent through proxy connections, and calls with friends abroad, Tehranis described a night of intense explosions.

Zahra, a teacher and mother of one living in central Tehran, said the strikes, in what she said was the heaviest attack to date, had left her deeply worried for civilians who found themselves in danger not just from Iran’s attackers but from their own government.

“This is the first time since the war began that I am genuinely scared for my fellow Iranians,” said Zahra*. “We are trapped between the regime that is killing us with machine guns, and a foreign power has likely decided that we are collateral damage.”

pretty sure that's netanyahu's plan.

Yeah, they're just about finished with the original Gaza. They need new ones to replace it.

Congress should have passed a war powers resolution on day one. US should have never attacked Tehran, Ayatollah wasn't even there. Israel should never be allowed to invade Iran.

Republicans caused this.

Netanyahu and trump: Iranians, take to the streets and take your country back

The streets of Tehran: 💥🔥 💥

Israel’s plan seems to be to make Iran into a failed state.

They will try to kill every competent person in the country until only crazy people are in charge. I believe it is a similar strategy as what they did to Palestine.

To them, that's a feature, not a bug. And if they can inflict human suffering, all the better.

They're fucking monsters.

Edit: To be clear, I mean the people ordering the attacks on Iran
