b9AcEResidential building in Farahzad, northern Tehran, on fire after being bombed by Israel now:
Locals om Rojhelat (Iran-held part of) Kurdistan (NW Iran) report explosions there too while Israel bombs Tehran in north-central Iran.
Two more videos of residential buildings on fire in Sa'adat Abad, another part of northern Tehran, after Israel's bombing:
Another residential building in Nobonyad, NE part of Tehran, after being bombed by Israel:
More of the destruction in Tehran caused by the Netanyahu Gang's aggression. Two videos, two more different districts.
In addition to the previous report of explosions also in Rojhelat (Iran held part of Kurdistan) while Israel bombs Tehran, there are also reports of explosions in the Provinces Kermanshah, Luristan, Isfahan and Hamadan.
I have seen what appears to be people crushed to death, on the sidewalks and streets, by the debris from the residential houses destroyed by Israel bombing Tehran.
I'm not going to be sharing those.
You DO NOT attack densely populated areas with high-explosives!
It is by its nature an indiscriminate attack and therefore a war crime.
Residential building in Narmak, E Tehran, after being bombed by Israel now:
Apparently the Netanyahu Gang calls its new war of aggression in Iran "Rising Lion", apparently a reference to the Book of Numbers 23:24, "Behold, the people shall rise up as a great lion, and lift up himself as a young lion: he shall not lie down until he eat of the prey, and drink the blood of the slain." (KJV).

Four more videos from various parts of Tehran, showing the destruction the Netanyahu Gang's war of aggression has caused in Tehran now:
Iran's fighter jets are reportedly now flying over Tehran, presumably with the intent of attempting to shoot down drones or long-range missiles from Israel attacking the city, since Iran doesn't have an Iran Dome like Israel has.
Here's one:

Video showing the smoke billowing from Natanz nuclear facility in central Iran, after Israel's bombing:
Probably the actual target of the Netanyahu Gang bombing in Iran now is to drag the people in Israel into another and more intense war, for the purpose of eliminating both domestic dissent and even more so the growing demands now also from various major States that Israel must stop its atrocities against the Palestinian People, also seeking to pull those into by extension supporting their aggressions in Syria and Lebanon, while using as pretext the alleged ambition of Iran to acquire nukes just as Israel already has nukes.
None of that will make any of the peoples anymore safe, but very many people dead, to keep Netanyahu in power instead of at The Hague.

'Iran warned it has a "legal and legitimate right" to respond to Israel's deadly attacks Friday [...]'

Actually, no, that is factually incorrect. A State has the right to defend against an attack from another State's territory until that particular instance of attack has ended.
There does not exist any right to "retaliate", nor any right to "preemptive attack".
Both of those are simply acts of war of aggression.
If a State has been attacked from another's territory and they don't resolve it diplomatically, the attacked's right is to bring the matter to the UN Security Council, which then is to consider potential sanctions which may be of many types including economic and even deciding that the attacked State is given the right to go to war against the attacker, for example if the attacks keep reoccurring. In the latter case the attacked State does then have a legal right to go to war without it being a war of aggression, crime against peace.
Both Israel and Iran keep claiming fictional rights to "retaliate" or "preempt" as justifications for war, but those do not exist, for any State equally.
Not my opinion or wish. It's the States' system as they have designed it and all States agree to by declaring themselves States, is a part of the UN Charter and similar.

now has been canceled due to recent developments: Iran being bombed by Israel for allegedly getting nukes,
so that bombing against acquisition of nukes thereby prevented the diplomatic agreement which would have kept Iran from getting nukes.
Good job, Bibi, you... *gaah*

Almost true. Israel's bombings were acts of war of aggression, initiating a war without right to war (jus ad bellum), which is not just a violation of international law but also as often quoted from the precedents setting Nuremberg Tribunal "the supreme international crime differing only from other war crimes in that it contains within itself the accumulated evil of the whole",
but it was not a "declaration" of war, it was launching a war without a declaration, which technically is also a separate (and lesser) violation.
What they may have meant was to say that due to Israel's bombings there is now a de facto and de jure state of war, an international armed conflict, which is true, as technically the moment one bullet (or equivalent or more) crosses from one State's territory into another's those States are in a state of war until they resolve it diplomatically (or remain unaware of it/ignore it away).

I now noticed that I accidentally broke my toots-thread dedicated to Israel's war of aggression bombings of Iran (and related) during the night to today.

AbortedOrange@b9AcE very well put
Bilal Barakat 🍉I absolutely take your point and you'll see I boosted your OP about there being no "self-defence" once the attack is over. Having said that, Israel itself said something about this having been the first round or something to that effect, so we don't strictly ‧know‧ that the Iranian drones are retaliatory as opposed to targeting facilities from which another attack is ‧imminent‧ (and yes, that is the absolutely crucial condition)?
@bifouba Well, yes, but... "responding to" was the phrase they used, not "defending against".
The article 51 of the UN Chartera that they invoked is about "individual or collective self-defence".
I'm pretty sure that if John Doe punches someone and at court says "I did it to respond to being hit" then Doe would get convicted for that, whilst if John doe instead says "I did it do defend myself from the previous attack reasonably being believed to continuing" and proves it to be reasonable then Doe would be acquitted (unless it was excessive).
If they would not have said that it was "responding to" before launching, but instead "defending against" openly announced continuing waves of attack or even just kept quiet, then I would have considered them to probably fulfill the criteria at that point for being able to claim it being self-defense, depending on what they target, etc.

Gary Houston@b9AcE the UN Security Council can't do anything against Israel as long as the US is there to veto everything. Not a useful process for Iran, or anybody else attacked by Israel.
@ghouston I didn't design it. I'm just telling it how it is.
The UNSC vetoes and permanent UNSC memberships should be abolished; they are the reason we're not in Cold War 2. That is my opinion.
My further opinion is also that all States should be abolished, for the good of all humankind, but that's not relevant to Iran's claim of having the "legal and legitimate rights" they claimed and that was the topic of my toot, not my opinions.
