Iran is now officially in mourning.
They've announced some 40 days of mourning and a week of closures of government offices and schools and universities and so on.
But unofficially, people are celebrating at home, if not outside the home, but also with a lot of trepidation.
Many people are very concerned as to what might happen next.
The fact is that the regime has its supporters still.
And today a lot of them are out on the streets showing they are mourning.
And the Iranian television is covering their gatherings.
The gatherings are not that big.
I've seen the pictures on the Iranian TV.
Only the place that I've seen big numbers coming out is Isfahan in central Iran, traditionally religious sort of area.
But nevertheless, also, we have videos of people celebrating in various parts of the country.
at homes, at night shouting slogans against the government.
So there's quite a bit of divide.
But the Iranians are aware that the Americans and the Israelis are planning for this to go on for a few days, for about five days or four days, according to reports that we're getting.
from the American side.
So I suppose people are waiting to see what happens, whether there will be space for them to come out and show what they want and whether they can actually grab those levers of power that Donald Trump and Benjamin Netanyahu are calling on them to do.
I think Iran has gone through a lot of traumas of this type.
So they are quite good at sort of trying to keep some semblance of normality.
and continuity.
There are systems in place, like, for example, this three-member council that they've just chosen is for a very short period of transition.
