The Islamic Republic's most deadly terrorists army in Hezbollah struck from the north in Lebanon in a growing Middle East war. And Tehran's ally

'I don't want Tehran to turn into Gaza': Iranians on Israeli strikes
Long queues at petrol stations and bakeries. Long lines of cars trying to escape the capital. And long, frightening of Tehran - still shocked by Israel's sudden attack on Iran in the early hours of Friday morning - speak of fear and confusion, a feeling of helplessness and conflicting emotions."We haven't slept for nights," a 21-year-old music student told me over an encrypted social media app. "Everyone is leaving but I'm not. My dad says it's more honourable to die in your own house than to run away."'Donya' - she doesn't want to reveal her real name - is one of many Iranians now caught in a war between a regime she loathes and Israel, whose destructive power in Gaza she has witnessed on screen from afar."I really don't want my beautiful Tehran to turn into Gaza," she said. Follow live updates on this storyWhat we know as conflict intensifies'It's heavy on the heart': Israelis survey damage in city hit by Iranian missileWhat are the worst-case scenarios?Israel's endgame may be regime change in Iran - but it's a gamble As for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's call on Iranians to rise up against their clerical leadership, she has a firm response."We don't want Israel to save us. No foreign country ever cared for Iran," she said. "We also don't want the Islamic Republic."Another woman said that at first she had felt a "strange excitement" to see Israel kill Iranian military officials so powerful that she thought they would live for ever."Suddenly that image of power was shattered," she told BBC Persian. "But from the second day, when I heard that regular people - people I didn't know, people like me - had also been killed, I started to feel sorrow, fear and sadness."And she said her sadness turned to anger when she heard that the South Pars gas field had been hit, fearing that Israel was trying to turn Iran "into ruins".For the first time in her life, she said, she has started to prepare for the idea of than 220 people - many of them women and children - have been killed since Friday, according to the Iranian authorities say Iranian missiles have killed at least 24 people in Israel over the same period. Unlike in Israel, there are no warnings of imminent attacks in Iran, and no shelters to run to. Even some supporters of the regime are reported to be upset that its much-vaunted defences have been so thoroughly among many Iranians, distrust in the authorities runs used to defy the regime and its strict dress code by going out with her hair with her university exams postponed until next week, she's staying at home."I get so terrified at night," she said. "I take some pills to help me relax and try to sleep."The Iranian government has suggested that people shelter in mosques and metro stations. But that is hard, when the explosions seem to come out of nowhere."Tehran is a big city and yet every neighbourhood has been somehow affected by the damage," another young woman told BBC Persian."For now, all we do is check the news every hour and call the friends and relatives whose neighbourhood has been hit to make sure they are still alive."She and her family have now left their home to stay in an area where there are no known government you never know, in a country like Iran, who may be living next to you. The Israeli assault has divided Iranians, she said, with some celebrating the regime's losses, while others are angry at those cheering Israel Iranians keep changing their minds about what they think. Divisions are bitter, even among some families."The situation feels like the first hours after the Titanic hit the iceberg," the woman said. "Some people were trying to escape, some were saying it wasn't a big deal, and others kept dancing."She has always protested against Iran's clerical rulers, she told the BBC, but sees what Netanyahu is doing to her country as "inexcusable"."Everyone's life, whether they supported the attacks or not, has been changed forever. "Most Iranians, even those who oppose the government, have now realised that freedom and human rights don't come from Israeli bombs falling on cities where defenceless civilians live."She added: "Most of us are scared and worried about what's coming next. We've packed bags with first aid supplies, food, and water, just in case things get worse."Israel says the Iranian armed forces have deliberately placed their command centres and weapons inside civilian buildings and of Iran's large diaspora are also worried."It's hard to convey what it's like to be an Iranian right now," says Dorreh Khatibi-Hill, a Leeds-based women's rights activist and researcher who is in touch with family, friends and other anti-regime activists. "You're happy that members of the regime - who have been torturing and murdering people - are being taken out."But we know that civilians are dying. This is a devastating humanitarian disaster."And Iranians are not being given accurate information on what is happening, she says."The main person in Iran - the supreme leader - is still alive while Iranians are fleeing for their lives," she adds."No one wants Iran to turn into another Iraq, Syria or Afghanistan. None of us wants this war. We don't want the regime either."

Israel strikes state-run Iranian TV after Iranian missiles kill eight
Israel struck Iran's state-run television station during a live broadcast on Monday, forcing a reporter to run off camera following an explosion, after Iran fired a new wave of missiles at Israel that killed at least eight people. In other developments, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said the Israeli strikes have set Iran's nuclear program back a 'very, very long time'. He added that Israel is not attempting to topple the Iranian government, but said he would not be surprised if that happened as a result of the strikes. Advertisement 'The regime is very weak,' Mr Netanyahu told a news conference. He added that he is in touch with US President Donald Trump daily. As he spoke, large numbers of explosions were heard in Tehran. Israel warned hundreds of thousands of people in the middle of Tehran to evacuate ahead of the strike against the TV station, which the military said provided a cover for Iranian military operations. The warning came on the fourth day of the conflict, when the Israeli military claimed it had achieved air superiority above the Iranian capital and could fly over the city without facing major threats. Advertisement The military has issued similar evacuation warnings for civilians in parts of Gaza and Lebanon ahead of strikes. The warning affected up to 330,000 people in a part of central Tehran that includes the country's state TV and police headquarters, as well as three large hospitals, including one owned by Iran's paramilitary Revolutionary Guard. Women mourn over the body of a man reportedly killed in an Israeli strike on Tabriz (Matin Hashemi/AP) 'At this time, we can say that we have achieved full aerial superiority over Tehran's skies,' said Israeli military spokesperson Brigadier General Effie Defrin. The military said it had destroyed more than 120 surface-to-surface missile launchers in central Iran, a third of Iran's total. Advertisement Israeli military officials also said fighter jets had struck 10 command centres in Tehran belonging to Iran's Quds Force, an elite arm of its Revolutionary Guard that conducts military and intelligence operations outside Iran. The Israeli strikes 'amount to a deep and comprehensive blow to the Iranian threat', Brig Defrin said. Iran's state-run news agency reported that state-run television abruptly stopped a live broadcast after an Israeli strike. During the broadcast, an Iranian state television reporter said the studio was filling with dust after 'the sound of aggression against the homeland'. Advertisement Suddenly, an explosion occurred, cutting the screen behind her as she hurried off camera. The broadcast quickly switched to pre-recorded programmes. Iran, meanwhile, announced it had launched some 100 missiles and vowed further retaliation for sweeping attacks on its military and nuclear infrastructure that have killed at least 224 people in the country since Friday. Firefighters work to extinguish a blaze after a missile launched from Iran struck Tel Aviv (Baz Ratner/AP) One missile fell near the American consulate in Tel Aviv, with its blast waves causing minor damage, US ambassador Mike Huckabee said on X. He added that no American personnel were injured. So far, 24 people have been killed in Israel and more than 500 injured, Israeli officials said, after Iran launched more than 370 missiles and hundreds of drones. Advertisement The latest conflict began when Israel launched an assault on Iran's top military leaders, uranium enrichment sites and nuclear scientists that it said was necessary to prevent its long-time adversary from getting any closer to building a nuclear weapon. Iran maintains that its nuclear programme is peaceful, and the US and others have assessed that Tehran has not pursued a nuclear weapon since 2003. But the head of the International Atomic Energy Agency has repeatedly warned that the country has enough enriched uranium to make several nuclear bombs if it chooses to do so. Iran has retaliated by firing waves of ballistic missiles at Israel. The back-and-forth has raised concerns about all-out war between the countries and propelled the region, already on edge, into even greater upheaval.
