Locals in Tehran shared their views on Sunday after Iran launched a wave of drones and missiles at Israel, which it said was a response to the destruction of its Damascus consulate earlier in the month.
“War is not good. Now if the war starts, people will suffer the consequences. Our people are already facing economic hardship and this war would harm them more,” one Tehran resident said.
Footage shows banners and billboards in the streets of the Iranian capital bearing slogans such as 'the next slap will be harder' and 'I will not give up on the homeland'.
“We are not afraid of Israel's attack at all, and Israel is not in a position to respond to Iran," a second local added.
Iran launched hundreds of drones and missiles towards Israel on Saturday night in Tehran’s first direct attack on the Jewish state, signalling a major escalation of tensions in the region.
The attack came as a response to the alleged Israeli airstrike on the Iranian consulate in Damascus on April 1, which killed at least seven members of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), including a senior Quds Force commander.
The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) claimed Iran had launched '300 threats of various types' towards Israel, adding that '99%' of the rockets and drones had been intercepted. At the same time, defence minister Yoav Gallant reported that 'very little damage was caused' due to the attack.
IRGC Chief of Staff Mohammad Bagheri has warned that Tehran would launch a 'much bigger' offensive if Israel were to target Iranian soil in response to Saturday’s attack.
US Secretary of Defence Lloyd Austin said Washington had intercepted 'dozens of missiles and UAVs' before they had entered Israeli airspace. President Joe Biden reiterated his 'ironclad' support for Israel and said he would also convene a G7 meeting on Sunday.
Meanwhile, UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres urged both sides to exercise restraint and said he was 'deeply alarmed', warning of a 'very real danger' of a 'major military confrontation' on multiple fronts in the Middle East.
Israel’s ambassador requested an emergency UN Security Council meeting.
