Tensions have escalated in Tehran just two days after Iran's unprecedented direct assault on Israel. The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps launched over 300 drones and missiles on Saturday night, prompting a stern warning of a potential counter-attack from Tel Aviv, according to BBC reports.
While Israel braces for possible retaliation, voices from across the Middle East have begun to emerge in support of Iran's actions. Many are praising Iran for standing up for Palestinians amid ongoing conflicts in the region.
In a symbolic display of dissent, graffiti advocating for an attack on Ayatollah Ali Khamenei's residence appeared on walls in Iranian cities. Conversely, the Iranian government responded with billboards declaring, "Tel Aviv is our battlefield, not Tehran," emphasizing their stance on the conflict.
The aftermath of the attack has also seen expressions of defiance and resolve from Iranian supporters. Banners displaying messages such as "The next slap will be more terrible" were hung in Tehran, reflecting a sentiment of continued resistance.
Economic repercussions have also been felt, with the Iranian rial experiencing a depreciation against the US dollar following the attack. This echoes a similar trend observed after Israel's previous attack on the Iranian consulate in Syria.
As tensions remain high, the situation in the region continues to unfold amid international scrutiny and concern.
