00:19Celebration in Iran's western city of Kermanshaw suddenly turned into panic and destruction.
00:25Large crowds had gathered in the streets, waving flags and chanting slogans as they celebrated
00:32the appointment of Mojtaba Khamenei as Iran's new supreme leader.
00:37Men, women and families stood among the crowds, cheering and declaring loyalty as the country
00:44entered a new leadership era.
00:46But within moments, the atmosphere of celebration shattered.
00:50Explosions erupted across the city as Israeli airstrikes struck targets in Kermanshaw.
00:58Footage circulating on social media shows terrified civilians running for cover, buildings shaking
01:04violently and windows shattering as the blasts interrupted the gathering.
01:09The crowd, many of them ordinary civilians attending the celebration, suddenly found themselves
01:16in the middle of a war zone.
01:17The strike comes during an escalating regional conflict that intensified after the killing
01:24of Iran's longtime supreme leader, Ali Khamenei, in a major strike in Tehran.
01:30Following his death, Iran's powerful assembly of experts quickly moved to appoint his son,
01:37Mojtaba Khamenei, marking the first dynastic-style leadership transition in the Islamic Republic's
01:43history.
01:45Supporters across the country took to the streets to celebrate and pledge loyalty to
01:50the new leader.
01:51But the strike in Kermanshaw shows how quickly celebrations can turn into chaos during an active
01:57war.
01:58As explosions echoed through the city, the cheering crowds were replaced with scenes of fear, confusion,
02:05and desperate attempts to escape the blasts.
02:09The attack highlights the growing intensity of the Israel-Iran conflict, where military
02:14strikes are unfolding even as civilians remain present in public spaces.
02:20And the viral footage from Kermanshaw captures a chilling moment when a crowd celebrating a political
02:27event suddenly found itself caught in the middle of war.
