Tehran residents fear chaos to come after Israeli strikes
Residents in Tehran have expressed shock at the wave of Israeli attacks on the Iranian capital and other parts of the country.
A 38-year-old from Tehran told dpa he was worried about the future. "The petrol queues are long and there are lots of security forces on the streets," he said.
"As an Iranian - although I am unhappy with the government - I am saddened by the attack and expect retribution. The killing of the commanders is shocking," the man said, referring the deaths of top military leaders in targeted strikes.
A woman who was out shopping said she hoped the banks would not shut down, "because that would be chaotic."
The manager of the small store said that the government had been exposed by the strikes, and this made him feel ambivalent. "Fear or joy? Unfortunately, joy outweighs fear for me," he said.
An Iranian journalist said the military attack on the country was unacceptable. "I am afraid and I hope that the country will not be plunged into even more chaos," she said.
