TEHRAN, IRAN—As groups of families and others gathered Sunday evening at cafes around Niloofar Square—a middle-class area in eastern Tehran—after breaking their fast for Ramadan, a series of explosions struck the area, leveling several buildings and killing over 20 people, according to witnesses at the scene and later reports from local news sources.
Witnesses who spoke to Drop Site said two explosions hit the area—a smaller strike in the vicinity, followed by a larger one that devastated much of the neighborhood, a tactic known as a “double tap” strike that is used to inflict maximum casualties.
Videos of the immediate aftermath of the attack showed several individuals dead and wounded as well as massive destruction on the street outside. In Cafe Ahla, next to the square, blood and debris soaked the floors. Several patrons who had been sitting there when the attack struck could be seen dead on the floor or with their mutilated bodies still sprawled across their seats.
tonight radio-canada (the french-speaking counterpart to the CBC) was interviewing a lot of people from Iran, and one of the questions the interviewer asked was “so, with Khamenei dead, do you think people will go to the streets to protest their government and bring about regime change?” to which the interviewee just answered “no people are hiding and fleeing, Tehran is being bombed!”
so idk about the usa but canadian state media certainly seems to want to spin it as an act of liberation 🤮
Right now everyone in the resistance is saying to stay inside while the bombing campaign is happening. They will wait for the signal to start the uprising. Because obviously taking to the streets when there’s a bombing campaign happening is a really dumb thing to do.
Consider that this site might not be giving you all of the information about what’s happening in Iran.
No way to know how many will take to the streets when they’re told “it’s time”. Last time it was millions. The regime machine gunned down tens of thousands, bodies piled up in the streets, really horrific. This time I’d guess the resistance is going to have weapons air dropped to them and some drone support and intel. Should even things up.
There are very few people in Iran that don’t know someone that was executed by the regime and the IRGC is being decimated. If the members of the IRGC were smart, they’d get out while they can, though I don’t know who would take them. I suppose Russia is always looking for some more criminals to send to the front lines.
Best of luck to the resistance when the time comes.
They aren’t here for regime change they are here for PR points and to distract from domestic problems.
A) They aren’t going to ever tell you it’s time because your needs never meant anything to them
B) There will be no weapons air dropped to you because your revolution is a non-goal for them.
C) The remaining military is still going to be mostly alive and capable of machine gunning you down again
D) The new leader will be as bad as the old in fact it will probably be one of his deputies who have already been largely running the show
