Iran’s attack on Israel: Iranians fear reprisals
(franceinfo)
After Iran’s air attack on Israel, some Iranians are worried. They fear a response from the Jewish state and an escalation of the conflict.
Monday April 15, less than two days after the Iranian attack against Israel, in the streets of Tehran (Iran), few people agree 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, on Sunday April 14, pro-regime Iranians demonstrated to support their leaders. Before the UN, the representative of Iran justified the strikes on Saturday April 13 as a right to self-defense, two weeks after the attack on their consulate in Damascus (Syria).
