00:09The missiles lit up the night sky, and in cities across Iran, crowds erupted in celebration.
00:17As ballistic missiles streaked toward Israel, thousands gathered on rooftops, balconies
00:23and public squares.
00:24Some waved flags, others chanted slogans.
00:27Many watched the launches unfold live on television.
00:31Videos circulating on June 7 show large crowds gathering in Tehran and several other major
00:38Iranian cities during the missile operation.
00:42Bright trails could be seen across the night sky as missiles were launched toward Israeli
00:47territory.
00:48Witnesses recorded celebratory scenes as people pointed toward the horizon and cheered.
00:54In some neighborhoods, car horns sounded continuously.
00:58Fireworks were set off.
01:00And crowds chanted slogans, including Death to Israel and Allah Akbar.
01:05Iranian state broadcaster IREB aired extensive coverage of the missile launches.
01:11The missile barrage came only hours after Israeli airstrikes targeted Hezbollah positions in
01:17southern Beirut.
01:19Those strikes reportedly killed senior Hezbollah commanders and damaged weapons facilities.
01:25Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps quickly claimed responsibility for the missile attack,
01:31announcing that the operation had been launched in response to what it described as Israeli aggression.
01:36The operation was reportedly named True Promise 3.
01:41According to Iranian officials, the strikes were intended to demonstrate Iran's willingness
01:46to directly respond to attacks against its allies.
01:49For many supporters of the Iranian government, the missile launches carried symbolic significance.
01:55Iran and Israel have spent years engaged in a shadow conflict, involving cyberattacks, covert
02:02apparitions, proxy groups, and targeted strikes.
02:06Direct military exchanges between the two countries have historically been less common.
02:11As a result, some Iranians viewed the missile attack as a rare public demonstration of retaliation.
02:18Government-aligned voices described the strikes as evidence that Iran was prepared to defend its interests
02:25and respond forcefully when challenged.
02:27At the same time, the public mood inside Iran appears far from uniform.
02:32While images of celebrations have received significant attention, reports also suggest that many citizens
02:39remain concerned about the broader consequences of escalation.
02:43Economic uncertainty, sanctions, regional instability, and the possibility of further military confrontation
02:50remain major concerns for many families.
02:53Those worries have been amplified by the prospect of additional retaliation.
02:58Israeli officials stated that most of the incoming missiles were intercepted by air defense systems,
03:03including Arrow and David Sling batteries.
03:06Only limited damage was reported.
03:09Israel later responded with airstrikes targeting military infrastructure inside Iran.
03:14Meanwhile, the images from Iran continue to circulate around the world.
03:19Supporters of Iran and its regional allies have praised the scenes as a display of solidarity and resistance.
03:26The footage has become another powerful symbol in a conflict driven not only by missiles and military operations,
03:33but also by competing narratives.
03:36The missile launches may be over, but the images remain.
03:40Crowds cheering.
03:42Missiles rising into the sky.
