Several explosions heard in Tehran, say Iranian state media

Several explosions were heard in Tehran, according to the Iranian semi-official Fars news agency. The semi-official Tasnim news agency reported that several explosions were heard west of the Iranian capital. The explosions come as the region has braced for Israeli response to Iran’s attack earlier this month. #CNN #News

WTF 🤬 is the matter with this administration this is not our WAR

[ariyarezaei]

In Tehran, I first heard light explosions, and then I saw toys exploding in the sky

They call it retaliation but Israel started with bombing the Iranian embassy in Damascus which is illegal under international law and started this

[ramadhanboru]

Iranian air defence system is a badass. Iran is a sovereign country and it has right to defend itself. Israel thought Iran is lebanon or palestine

[anastazijastanku]

Iran, Lebanon, and Palestine have every right to defend their territory.

Iran has a right to respond to these attacks.

So much for Anthony Blinken's diplomatic overtures over the last year

Why do I get the impression that reporters are intentionally not saying why Iran sent rockets to Israel?

Two reasons, just to name a few.

1) Israel attacked (bombed) an Iranian Embassy.

2) Israel violated Iranian airspace when they took out a Hamas leader who was there by invitation.

And now we wait to see if Iran is a paper tiger or we fucked up.

I am in Tehran, everything is fine, I don't see any fire or smoke in the sky at the military base and airports of Tehran.

You should tell viewers that Iran's strikes were in retaliation for actions previously taken by Israel against Iran. Israel started this and wants to continue it. That's what people need to know.

Bibi better be on the front lines if he wants war so much

[محمدشاهين-غزس]

Iran has the right to defend itself and retaliate this terrorist attack

[georgehemphley]

Iran HAS a right to defend itself and WE are on the wrong side of history

[boonraypipatchol]

Khamenei regime,

Free people of IRAN...

[brunojvaldez]

This is escalation not retaliation strike.. full of shhh.. Israel is the aggressor each strike towards Israel was in retaliation.. be real.

[ShayanHoseini-jrxq]

Most of the missiles were repelled by air defense. Iran's defense did a great job

[anonymous_anonymity]

Iran has the right to defend itself. 🇮🇷🇮🇷🇵🇸🇵🇸
