Conflict in the Middle East: Iranians’ concern about a potential Israeli response
Conflict in the Middle East: Iranians’ concern about a potential Israeli response
(FRANCEINFO)
In Iran, while some support the attack against Israel, other residents fear the escalation of the conflict on Monday April 15. The population is aware of the risk of a conflagration.
In the streets of Tehran (Iran), Monday April 15, less than two days after the Iranian attack against Israel, few people want to comment on the offensive and its potential consequences. A resident agreed to testify anonymously by telephone. She fears an escalation of violence. “People are buying basic necessities in supermarkets, they are afraid and they are preparing. We cannot believe what the Mullahs are saying, that the war is over”she worries.
“You have to be an imbecile to think of carrying out an attack like that”
The Mullahs’ regime is even sometimes criticized by certain Iranians. “The level of Israeli technologies is stronger than in Iran. What were they thinking? You have to be an imbecile to think of carrying out an attack like that”, deplores a man to RTL. Despite fears of an Israeli response, pro-regime Iranians demonstrated to support their leaders on Sunday April 14. Before the UN, the representative of Iran justified the strikes against the Jewish state as a right to self-defense, two weeks after the attack on their consulate in Damascus (Syria).
