At least 13 people were killed in Iran’s Eslamshahr city after a series of airstrikes struck residential areas late Sunday night. Local officials confirmed that the attacks caused widespread destruction, leaving dozens injured and several homes reduced to rubble.
Emergency teams rushed to rescue survivors trapped under collapsed structures, while hospitals in Tehran and nearby districts reported a surge in casualties. Witnesses described powerful blasts that shook neighborhoods and sparked panic among residents.
The strikes come amid escalating regional tensions, with Iran facing repeated attacks linked to ongoing hostilities involving Israel and the United States. Authorities fear the death toll could rise as search and rescue operations continue.
Iranian state media condemned the airstrikes as a violation of sovereignty and international law. The government has vowed retaliation, raising concerns of further escalation in West Asia.
Regional observers warn that the violence could destabilize neighboring countries and disrupt global energy supplies, as the conflict continues to ripple across South Asia and beyond.
