The bombings in Tehran began at approximately 10 am local time, 8:30 am in Romania. Saturday is the first day of the Persian week.
The rocket attacks took place on a Saturday morning, the first day of the week in Iran, when millions of people are at work and children at school. Residents of Tehran describe scenes of panic and chaos, writes The New York Times.
Tehran has a population of over 9 million, out of Iran's 93 million inhabitants. Weekend days in Iran are Thursday and Friday, and the week starts on Saturday and lasts until Wednesday.
According to the population, Iran is the 17th country in the world, but according to the economic performance it is only in the 44th place. The religious dictatorship in Iran has been subjected, especially in recent years, to increased pressure from the population.
The most recent demonstrations, from a month ago, brought a number of more than 2,000 victims – estimate of international organizations. The demonstrations were resumed a week ago, with the resumption of the academic year.
The military strikes on Saturday, February 28, were launched by Israel, which called them preemptive. A US official told Al Jazeera that the United States also participated in the attacks.
