We will not let them go.

They should not think that we will allow the Americans to quickly bring this matter to an end and say, we struck them, now let's wrap it up.

This can only be wrapped up when they understand that they no longer have the right to attack Iran and when they compensate the Iranian nation for the damages.

This disgraceful act they have created on the international stage carries a heavy cost.

They assassinated the leader of Iran.

So have the air attacks undermined the Iranian authorities?

Kashayan Janadi is from the BBC Persian service in Washington.

It's very difficult to say because actually air defences are not working that much.

The Americans and the Israelis have hit most of the air defences.

And Tehran is like an open sky for American and Israeli planes.

Tonight, Tehran's oil refineries and oil depots, fuel depots, were heavily bombarded in several parts of the city.

And the pictures we see on social media, it's like huge, big fires all around the city.

But Iran is a big country, a country of 90 million, and it has a relatively strong armed forces.

So, so far they've managed to avoid collapse.

President Trump is expecting Iran a total surrender, but they're keeping on fighting and they're defiant.

What's your sense of how the war is being viewed by the Iranian people?

Well, it depends who you ask.

Let's not forget the government brutally crushed protests all around the country.

Thousands of people were killed and many people were upset and they want the regime to go.

So they were supportive of a military action against this regime.
