The civilian dying toll is rising in Tehran after residential areas in the iranian language working capital suffered heavily harm from US-Israeli overnight strikes, as emergency crews continue search and rescue operations.
RT’s Tehran bureau chief, Hami Hamedi, visited one of the sites struck, where workers were combing through the rubble of a collapsed apartment block in search of survivors. Heavy machinery was deployed at the scene as rescuers worked to clear debris.
“The destruction is very severe, almost the entire main part of the building has collapsed. Unfortunately, it was the building’s bedroom section, where people were sleeping, that was hit around 3 AM,” Hamedi said. At the time of reporting, five bodies had been recovered.
While the Israeli military has repeatedly said it is targeting military installations throughout its three-week campaign, strikes have also caused severe damage to residential areas. More than 1,500 people have been reported killed in Iran since the start of the US-Israeli military campaign on February 28, according to Iranian sources.
