00:00There are mixed reactions here, Jenny.

00:02I was doing a live for the 6 a.m. show this morning, and then there were cars picking

00:09up school children to actually drive them off to the school.

00:13And so there are routine, daily, day-to-day activities that are being carried out in the

00:21city.

00:22All offices are open, schools are open.

00:24International flights will resume tonight in Tehran's international airport.

00:29Regardless, there are some people who are panicking.

00:35I have talked to a couple of people who are doing online therapy sessions, and they told

00:41me that they have had patients asking for emergency appointments due to the fear of

00:48a possible war between Iran and Israel.

00:50They had panic attacks and all that.

00:51So there are mixed reactions here.

00:54But the mood has soured, especially after the Iranian army announced that two soldiers

00:59died as an aftermath of the Israeli strike.

01:03Now, we're getting reports also that a terrorist attack in the southeast of the country has

01:08killed at least 10 people.

01:11What do we know at this stage?

01:12Have there been any claims of responsibility?

01:15No, no group has claimed responsibility for this attack as well.

01:22What we know is that there were police officers on patrols in the city of Taftan in Sistan

01:27Balchistan province, southeastern Iran.

01:30And they were on patrol, and they were attacked by a terrorist group.

01:34But the pattern seems very similar to the Jaysh al-Adl terrorist group in Pakistan.

01:41They're extreme Sunnis, and they do believe that killing a Shia actually sends them to

01:48heaven.

01:49The pattern is that after an Israeli strike on Iran, they would soon hit the Sistan Balchistan

01:56province, actually misusing the chaos and mayhem in Iran after an Israeli attack.
