Tehran has a city population of ~9.8 million people with a metro population of ~16.8 million.
It is the 12th most populous metropolitan area on the planet. NYC is 11th at ~18.8 million.
It is larger than Istanbul, Los Angeles, Lagos, Rip De Janeiro Moscow, Paris, Seoul, Lahore, Bangkok or London.
Hmm who provoked who more, the genocidal nation that has been systematically starving 2,200,000 people after destroying their homes, who is now telling 10,000,000 more people that their homes, and communities will be destroyed to serve that genocidal nations purpose, or the nation it is attacking?

βIf a [nuclear] weapon is a year away, you cannot say we're under imminent threatβ that does not give you a right to self-defense.β

So not military infrastructure?
"..which is near a reported military base"

"Do you believe Iran was on the bink of nuclear weaponisation?"
"No & there is no evidence to that effect in the public domain"
Richard Dalton, ex British ambassador to Iran, also points out Iranian defence doctrine eschews weapons of mass destruction
"Health officials in Gaza say at least 20 Palestinians have been killed and over 200 others wounded when Israeli forces opened fire on people queuing for aid supplies... Israel has said its checking the reports"

Some facts Reeves doesn't mention. Iran has no nuclear weapons. Israel does. Iran has signed the non-proliferation treaty. Israel hasn't. Iran allows IAEA observers to inspect its nuclear programme. Israel doesn't.
"Authorities here won't let us report the location of some of those direct hits"
Israel is preventing journalists from reporting from and about Iranian missiles hitting military & government facilities.
"Netanyahu has been saying Iran is on the verge of making nuclear weapons for over 30 years.. he is a genocidal liar.. the world knows what's happening.. this was an unprovoked attack"
Seyed Marandi also points out Israel does have nuclear weapons.
Cadfa (Camden Abu Dis Friendship Association) βTo the Soldier Who Points a Gun at Me" You think I'm here to die. You think that's all we know how to doβ bleed, bury, break. But listen. I grow things. Tomatoes in rusted cans. Hope in children who don't know what the word means yet. I build-walls, stories, mornings. I fix roofs with one hand and hold my daughter's hand with the other. And you? You carry a gun like it's your purpose. But l've seen men become ghosts long before the trigger is pulled. You call this land a threat. I call it history. The call to prayer. The school bell. The pot of lentils boiling over. Don't mistake my softness for surrender. I don't need to shout to be strong. The fig tree in my yard has stood through three wars without raising its voice.

Iran has no nuclear weapons. Israel β on trial for genocide β does. Iran signed the NPT & allows IAEA inspections. Israel hasnβt β & its leaders face ICC arrest warrants.
