Residents of Tehran weathered a night of terror and shock, reeling from explosions across the Iranian capital and from the news that senior military commanders and top-security nuclear and military bases had been attacked by Israeli fighter jets.

Long lines were forming at gas stations and grocery stores were filling up as Iranians prepared for uncertain times. As of Friday morning, the government had not given a complete tally of casualties and only said that a number of civilians had been killed, including children. Dozens were injured.
