Received sound: At 11:45, the air defense in southern Tehran was activated. So far, no explosive sounds have been felt, and only the sounds of the defense launches can be heard (no sound from drones either). The air defense in southern Tehran is just firing.

I will continue with other received messages that are unverifiable and unconfirmed, as some may have mistaken the air defense sounds for something else. They say thunder is also quite active, and some who had messaged later wrote that they mistook the light and sound of thunder. Therefore, we can't rely too much on messages from these hours:

23:37 and 23:40
In western Tehran, there was a very strange sound like an earthquake accompanied by shaking, each lasting about 5 seconds. It was a very deep and strange sound that I had never heard before.

At 11:44 in Tehran, in the vicinity of Pirouzi, the sound of anti-aircraft fire is coming.

It started again, Vahid. The defenses are firing, and explosions can be heard. Tehran at 11:45.

The sound of air defense is coming from the Narmak area. Anti-aircraft fire; now towards southern Tehran.

Repeated explosion sounds in central Tehran from 12:13.

At 23:45 on Tuesday, March 25, the sound of air defense is coming from the direction of Yusefabad. I hope... [Please focus only on newsworthy points. Thank you.]

At 23:45, from the east of Tehran, Pirouzi, there are many sounds coming. First, it was air defense, then several explosions.

On Tuesday at 23:45, the sound of air defense from the direction of Shariati and Andarzgoo.

11:49, heavy air defense in the east.

23:45, eastern Tehran. Many explosions and air defense activity.

In Afshariyeh, there are many explosion sounds coming, both from air defense and explosions at 23:54.

Hello, at 23:54, Tehran Rasalat, the sound of air defense was activated.

Hello, I don't know if it's air defense or an explosion. At 23:45, Amirabad.

At 23:45, the sound of air defense from the southeast, not a very strong explosion, and a relatively large fire near the Khavaran highway in Rezavieh town.

I am in Shahriar; 10 minutes ago, I heard the sound of a fighter jet and felt shaking, but it's very strange. There were more than 20 lightning strikes in these ten minutes. I thought they were bombing, but no, it seems it's raining.

[In Shahriar, many thought the sound was from fighter jets and bombing, but it seems it was also thunder. However, many insist that both thunder and explosions are happening in other areas.]

Now at 12:30, in Saadat Abad, there is heavy thunder; we thought it was an explosion. 📡 @VahidOnline
