Following an intense night of attacks, Sima, a 38-year-old who lives with her family in western Tehran, said “it felt like tens of fighter jets were flying right above our heads for 15 minutes straight at first, then a few minutes of pause before the next rounds of strikes came in”.
“The ground, the windows and our hearts were shaking, but we took shelter in our bathroom and got through it,” she said.
Several Tehran residents who spoke to Al Jazeera said they saw bright flashes of light emanating from the intense aerial strikes that briefly turned night into day early on Tuesday.
