"This is the first time since the war began that I am genuinely scared for my fellow Iranians. 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."
"The initial joy of the regime's leaders paying the price is soon turning into fear. Who will be left in free Iran if we all get killed? I don't think I have ever experienced a night like this before or even seen [anything like it] in the movies."
"If they don't stop now, Tehran will turn into Gaza. We can now tell the difference between the sounds of fighter jets."
Tehran residents endured successive waves of strikes during the latest overnight bombardment, described as the worst in six days of conflict. An internet blackout limits information flow, but accounts from residents reveal widespread fear and exhaustion. Zahra, a central Tehran teacher, expressed deep concern for civilians facing danger from both attackers and their own government. Despite initially celebrating the regime's losses, she now fears the civilian toll and questions Iran's future. Farzad, who fled the city, warned that continued strikes could transform Tehran into Gaza. Residents distinguish between different military sounds and struggle with information isolation during the assault.
