Following U.S. and Israeli combat operations against Iran, explosions were reported in Tehran and across Gulf countries, including the UAE, Saudi Arabia, and Qatar, with the UAE reporting one fatality. Unverified videos on social media claim to show celebrations in Iran and Israel, while political reactions in India have emerged concerning Prime Minister Modi's visit to Israel.

The first reported strike reportedly took place near offices linked to Iran's Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, in Tehran.

Residents in the Iranian capital said they heard powerful explosions as the situation escalated.

The developments have sparked strong reactions not only from political leaders but also from ordinary citizens across different countries.

Videos Show Celebrations in Parts of Iran and Israel

Several videos circulating on social media claim to show groups of Iranians celebrating the strikes. In some clips, people are seen dancing in the streets, playing music, and expressing happiness over what they describe as an attack on the ruling leadership.

In one widely shared video, a man is heard shouting "Kaboom" repeatedly as an air defense system reportedly intercepts a missile. Another clip shows young people, including teenagers from what appears to be an Iranian high school, cheering. In one video, a teenager is heard saying, "I love you Trump."

Some videos also show Israeli citizens in shelters singing and dancing after news of the strikes. Other clips claim to show girls in Iran celebrating reports that the Ayatollah's residence was targeted.

However, these videos have not been independently verified, and it remains unclear where and when some of them were recorded.

Explosions Reported Across Gulf Countries

As Iran responded to the strikes, explosions were reported in several cities across the Gulf region.

In the United Arab Emirates, authorities said they intercepted missiles launched from Iran. According to Reuters, one person was killed in Abu Dhabi during the incident. A witness told the news agency she heard five loud explosions in quick succession, which caused windows in her home near the Corniche area to shake.

Loud blasts were also reported in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. According to AFP, correspondents in the Saudi capital heard a major explosion followed by multiple loud sounds after Iran vowed retaliation against the US and Israel.

In Qatar, explosions were also heard as Iran launched counterattacks. Shailja, an Indian resident in Doha, told Hindustan Times that the sounds appeared to be from missiles intercepted mid-air. She said her family was staying indoors as a precaution and hoping to travel to India once airspace restrictions are lifted. She added that there had been no damage in her area but that they were remaining alert.

Political Reactions in India

Meanwhile, in India, the situation has also sparked political debate. Some Congress leaders have criticised Prime Minister Narendra Modi for his recent visit to Israel, pointing out that the strikes happened shortly after. They have questioned the timing and its diplomatic implications.

With explosions reported across multiple countries and missile interceptions taking place, the region remains on high alert. Airspace restrictions have affected travel, and governments are closely monitoring developments.

While some social media videos suggest celebrations in certain areas, the broader reality is one of uncertainty and fear, as countries prepare for possible further escalation.
The situation continues to evolve rapidly, with global leaders watching closely to see whether the conflict expands or diplomatic efforts take centre stage.
