A mother stands by the rubble, crying out for her daughter. For days she has been waiting for rescue workers to dig through the flattened remains of what was once her daughter's flat in Resalat, a residential district in eastern Tehran. 'They don't have the manpower to get her out,' the woman says. 'My daughter is under the rubble... she's afraid of the dark.'
For a month, Iran has been at war with the US and Israel, which have been carrying out strikes across the country at targets linked to the regime. These attacks are having a devastating impact on civilians living nearby.
Caught between bombardment from the skies and a repressive regime that responded to anti-establishment protests with a deadly crackdown, civilians in Tehran now find their lives shattered. Reports reveal that many families are left homeless after losing their homes in strikes targeting military sites in residential areas.
According to BBC Eye analysis, hundreds of airstrikes have targeted civilian infrastructures, leading to significant casualties. Recent figures show that 1,464 civilians, including at least 217 children, have been killed in Iran during the first month of this conflict. Eyewitness accounts describe multiple explosions in rapid succession, and military experts insist that the bombs used are capable of devastating neighboring buildings as well.
As residents critique the government's lack of emergency protocols and basic safety measures, many expressed a growing resentment, particularly among those who had previously been critical of the Iranian regime. This conflict's toll is measured in lost homes, shattered families, and an increasing uncertainty about safety in their own city.
