Scenes of celebration, with Hezbollah flags flying, in central Tehran
Iranian media is showing scenes of celebration in Tehran’s Revolution Square.
The footage notably shows Hezbollah flags being waved.
Iran-born analyst Benny Sabti, from the International Institute for Security Studies, says on Channel 12 that the regime believes that tonight’s events represent a huge victory, with Iran firing missiles into Israeli territory and Israel prevented from responding.
With US President Donald Trump having publicly told Israel not to retaliate, the Iranians believe they are “getting Israel on a plate,” says Sabti.
