Israeli strikes on military sites in Iran early Saturday sparked global attention 🌍, but Tehran resident Aynur Sena Cabuk tells NewspaperAmigo.com that daily life in the capital remains surprisingly calm. Cabuk visited bustling neighborhoods like Tajrish Square and Valiasr Street, filming scenes of cafes filling up, shops operating normally, and residents commuting—a stark contrast to escalating regional tensions.
\"People here are aware of the news, but there’s no panic,\" Cabuk said. \"Kids are playing in parks, families are out shopping. It feels… ordinary.\" Iranian state media confirmed the strikes targeted military infrastructure, while Israel’s military called it a \"measured response\" to Tehran’s earlier drone attacks.
The situation highlights the divide between geopolitical headlines and ground realities. Analysts caution that stability remains fragile, with global markets closely watching oil prices ⚡. For now, Cabuk’s footage of street vendors selling saffron and teenagers snapping selfies offers a unexpected lens on resilience.
