Residents of Tehran expressed concern over a potential escalation of conflict after Israeli attacks, but Iranian officials and media downplayed the incident. The Israeli strikes triggered blasts that echoed across the city, causing fear among some residents. The attack came in response to Iran's missile strike on October 1, which was itself a retaliation for the killing of Iran-backed militant leaders and a Revolutionary Guards commander. While some in Tehran voiced fears of an escalation, others were unaware of the attack. Iranian media reported limited damage and emphasized that daily activities would continue as scheduled.
