Tehran Residents Keep up Semblance of Normality Amid Destruction

The strikes that killed Iran's supreme leader have left Tehran's 10 million residents navigating intermittent explosions, school closures, and infrastructure damage.

  • In the capital, one week after the opening strikes by US and Israeli forces killed Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, residents face repeated explosions and brief calm.

  • Public mourning and religious checks continued as runners and pedestrians in Tehran returned outdoors, with street-art portraits and armed Guards checking faithful at mosques.
