Gilan, Iran – The Iranians inside and outside the country watched and reacted closely to events that take place quickly after US President Donald Trump ordered Bombing of the best nuclear sites in Iran in the middle of conflict with Israel.
The American bunker-business bombs came out of B-2 Spirit strategic bombers and Tomahawk cruise missiles launched from naval platforms struck the three main nuclear sites in Iran in Fordwow, Natanz and Isfahan early on Sunday. Trump said nuclear installations were “completely erased”, although there was no evidence shown to confirm it.
Iranian authorities confirmed strikes after several hours, but said there were No radioactive leakage. The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) also confirmed that there was no off -site contamination.
The Iranian state media seemed to minimize the impact, the IRNA led by the government signaling a nearby area FordowThe most important and most difficult nuclear site to reach, that there was only limited smoke rising from the place where the air defenses would be stationed and no major activity of emergency stakeholders.
The satellite images circulating Sunday seemed to show possible impact sites in Fordow, where the massive GBU-57 bombs would have widely dug underground before exploding in an attempt to destroy the Iranian nuclear installations dug under the mountains.
The head of the Iranian Red Crescent Society, Pir Hossein Kolivand, said that there had been no death in the United States.
The images have also shown a substantial movement of trucks and bulldozers around Fordow in the days preceding the strikes, in what seemed to be an Iran’s attempt to move the equipment and nuclear materials stored on the protected site in anticipation of American strikes.
The heavy machines also seemed to have been deployed to fill the entry tunnels of the installation with the earth, in a movement aimed at limiting damage to the incoming bombs site.
Speaking in Istanbul de Turkiye, where he attended a meeting of the organization of Islamic cooperation, the Iranian Minister of Foreign Affairs Abbas Araghchi indicated that a military response from Tehran was inevitable.
“My country has been invaded and we have to respond,” he told journalists. “We must remain patient and show a proportional response to these attacks. It is only if these measures are stopped, then we will make decisions concerning the diplomatic ways and the possibility of restarting the negotiations. ”
In a television message issued last week from an unknown locationThe supreme leader of Iran, the Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, had warned that it would be at the expense of Washington if he chooses to enter the war directly.
“The damage he will suffer will be much greater than any damage that Iran could undergo. The evil that the United States will certainly be irreparable if he enters this conflict militarily,” he said.
The Iranian state media and many hard line politicians led a furious response after the American strikes.
Channel 3 of public television 3 showed a map of American military bases in the region, especially in Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Kuwait, Bahrain and Iraq, which are within reach of Iranian missiles.
“It is now clearer than ever, not only for the Iranian nation, but for all the peoples of the region, that all American citizens and the military are legitimate targets. We negotiate and progress through a diplomatic path, but you have chosen to reverse the blood of your soldiers. said.
Amirhossein Tahmasebi, another anchor that had published a provocative video of the interior of the Irib buildings of the north of the north of Tehran They were bombed by Israel Last week, said he “spits” on Trump and anyone who claims that he is president of peace.
Hossein Shariatmadari, the Khamene’s ultra -conservative name of Khamene from Keyhan’s daily newspaper, wrote: “It is now our turn to do missiles immediately in the rain on American naval force in Bahrain as the first measure.”
He has also renewed his long -standing call to Iran to Close the Hormuz strategic strait And said that Tehran had to refuse access to ships in the United States, the United Kingdom, France and Germany.
Hamid Rasaei, one of the most rigorous members of the Iranian Parliament who is close to the Paydari faction (firmness) led by the Security Council member and the presidential candidate, Saeed Jalili, went further and said that Iran should strike the American bases in Saudi Arabia.
Relations between Tehran and Riyadh, however, have taken up considerably in recent years.
Most Iranians in the country are still unable to go online due to internet restrictions imposed by the state, but those who have managed to find a functional proxy connection also react to war.
“Thirty years of Iranian money and thirty years of economic opportunities that could have transformed tens of millions of people into citizens like the rest of the world have become three deep pits,” wrote a user on X, in reference to nuclear sites.
“Trump says that allow me to drop the heaviest bomb in the world, then it will be peace,” wrote another user.
“A pillar like Damavand, in the last breath for Iran,” wrote twice the Oscar -winning director Asghar Farhadi on Instagram with a photo of Mount Damavand, the highest peak of Iran at 5,609 meters (18,402 feet) and a symbol of national pride.
But some Iranians living abroad who are against the leading theocratic establishment, as well as some inside the country, were in favor of American and Israeli attacks in the belief that they can help overthrow the director organ.
This caused denunciations, and even threats by the Iranian authorities and the state media against any form of “betrayal”.
Elias Hazrati, head of the communications council of President Masoud Pezeshkian, said during an interview on state television at the end of evening on Saturday that the State considers those who are stored on the side of Israel and the United States as a “dishonorable opposition” which sells their own country.
Friday, in a statement, the supreme Iranian national security council said that those who had readily collaborated or reluctantly with Israel until the end of Sunday to go – or face “the hardest punishment as fifth column and collus with a hostile country in wartime”.
Iran has executed several people since the start of the war, including a person on Sunday morning, after having condemned them to “spy” for Israel.
