Alarm is growing in Iran over a possible Israeli attack in response to Tehran’s missile attack on October 1. Although the exact time and location of the Israeli attack are unknown, panic grips the country. Iranians are watching with bated breath as events unfold, fearing widespread destruction.
“The Times Of Israel” writes about this.
“Unfortunately, we know that for every missile fired from Iranian territory there will be a response and civilians will suffer the most. As soon as news of the missile attack spread last week, widespread panic began. People rushed to gas stations and stocked up on staples like canned tuna and the like. “It was like the first days of the COVID pandemic,” the activist said.
According to local activists, the wait has become unbearable, raising fears of an imminent war. Residents of the country, remembering the horrors of the conflict between Iran and Iraq, are preparing for the worst, replenishing food and fuel supplies.
Iranian activist Leila, whose name has been changed for security reasons, said the situation in the country is close to chaos. He noted that local journalists are stoking fear by predicting an imminent Israeli attack. Leila said the nights became especially difficult when, while scrolling through social media, she came across messages that an Israeli attack could begin at any moment. As a result, many Iranians stay awake at night in a state of anxiety.
Leila, who lives in Isfahan, a city with important infrastructure, notes that its location makes it a likely target for an Israeli attack.
In addition to joking about the “ideal place for an attack,” the activist says people are preparing for the worst. Panic has gripped the country, with people stocking up on canned food and preparing emergency backpacks in anticipation of possible destruction.
The activist also noted her mixed feelings about Iran’s attack on Israel itself. While some were surprised that the strike was successful, there was little joy about it. Fear of Israeli retaliation prevails and many recognize that the greatest suffering will fall on civilians.
According to Leila, the attitude toward Israel among Iranians has also changed. Previously, Iranians supported Israel in the confrontation with the regime, but with the increasing number of civilian casualties in the Gaza Strip and the threat of an attack on Iran, opinions began to change.
