Airstrikes Cause Panic in Tehran and Other Iranian Cities

Airstrikes over Tehran and other Iranian cities caused widespread panic among residents. According to Ming Pao, the incident occurred around 9 a.m. local time (1:30 p.m. UTC+8) when fighter jets were seen flying over the capital, followed by a series of explosions. The chaos led many people to flee to the streets, rush to banks for withdrawals, or refuel at gas stations, with some even leaving the city. Amid the turmoil, some citizens expressed frustration, feeling caught between the Iranian regime and Israeli attacks, while others celebrated the airstrikes, chanting support for the Pahlavi dynasty. The attacks also affected several other cities, including Minab in the south, where a girls' school was hit. The Iranian Foreign Ministry reported that between 150 and 160 people were killed in the attacks.
