‘Are We at War Now?’: Tehran’s Residents Left Reeling After Israeli Strikes

  • On June 13, 2025, Israeli airstrikes targeted multiple locations in Tehran, including the home of senior official Ali Shamkhani, causing extensive damage and casualties.
  • The strikes followed rising tensions between Israel and Iran, with Israel aiming at military, nuclear sites, and IRGC commanders amid ongoing indirect nuclear talks.
  • The attacks included blasts at nuclear and missile facilities in Natanz, Arak, Kermanshah, Hamadan, and Piranshahr, and reportedly killed top military leaders, scientists, and civilians.
  • Reports said about 78 people died in Tehran alone, with Israel calling the strikes the start of a broader offensive, while Iran promised a strong retaliation and refused nuclear negotiations under bombardment.
  • The strikes caused fear and chaos among Tehran residents, disrupted daily life and cultural events, and reflected a sharp escalation that could shape regional stability and diplomatic efforts.
