What's the mood in Iran as Israel mulls its response?

Tehran — Not long after Iranian state TV informed the nation that the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps had launched hundreds of drones and missiles, people poured into the streets in Tehran and other cities to show their support for Iran's first-ever direct military action against Israel.
Iran had vowed to retaliate for the killing of seven IRGC officers about two weeks earlier, in an airstrike that hit an Iranian consulate in Syria's capital. Israel hasn't acknowledged carrying out that strike, but it hasn't denied it, either.
The world is still waiting to see four days later how Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's government will respond to the Iranian attack, which caused "very little damage," according to the Israel Defense Forces. The IDF said 99% of the 300-plus weapons launched were intercepted or fell out of the sky before they even reached Israeli territory, thanks to the country's robust air defenses and help from its U.S. and European allies.
