The night that Tehran shook
Explosions and the sound of low-altitude jet planes filled the sky over the Iranian capital. For hours. It wasn’t an exercise.
Among the dead is the head of intelligence of the Revolutionary Guard, Major General Majid Khademi. Also Asghar Bakeri, leader of a covert unit. This was confirmed by Iranian state media and the Israeli Minister of Defense.
“We will continue hunting them one by one,” said Israel Katz, Israeli Defense Minister.
The Israeli army later revealed that it attacked three airports in Tehran: Bahram, Mehrabad and Azmayesh. The objective, according to them: dozens of helicopters and aircraft from the Iranian Air Force.
The war in the neighborhoods
A Tehran resident, who asked not to be identified for safety reasons, described it this way:
“You constantly hear the sound of bombs, anti-aircraft defenses, drones.”
She said a recent attack hit near her home and woke her up. Another neighbor confessed that he takes sleeping pills to cope with the nighttime bombings.
People are worried about the recurring cuts of electricity, gas and drinking water. “Stop this war!” another resident exclaimed.
Meanwhile, in the Gulf, Kuwait, the United Arab Emirates and Saudi Arabia activated their anti-aircraft defenses. The reason: to intercept incoming Iranian missiles and drones. Tehran maintains pressure on its neighbors, with attacks that have included oil infrastructure.
The conflict has another side. In Israel, Iranian missiles hit the northern city of Haifa. Among the rubble of a residential building they found four people from the same family. Dead
This is not just an escalation between states. It is the sound of sleeping pills in an apartment in Tehran and the silence in a collapsed house in Haifa.
