Residents in Tehran have reported experiencing fear, sleeplessness, and exhaustion following recent overnight airstrikes on the Iranian capital. Several individuals described the bombardment as the most severe in a six-day period of conflict, with some expressing profound fear and a belief they were close to death during the strikes.
Accounts from the city included reports of an "information blackout" and observations that residents have become able to differentiate between the sounds of fighter jets, air defense systems, and missiles. One resident reportedly compared the potential future of Tehran to Gaza, while others indicated they had fled the capital. Following the morning, the city was described as appearing subdued and partially deserted.
Additional claims emerged, including reports of B-2 aircraft striking central Tehran. A human rights activist in the city also noted a public perception, attributed to propaganda, that intensified bombing could potentially weaken the government.
