Footage released on 18 March by the Iranian Red Crescent shows rescuers searching through rubble in the Resalat district of east Tehran after a residential building was destroyed in strikes on 17 March.

The footage emerged as Iran prepared funerals for senior figures killed on 17 March, including security chief Ali Larijani, according to state media Fars and Tasnim.

Authorities report the conflict has widened since late February, with strikes in cities like Hamedan and Mahabad. Iranian officials threaten further retaliation, while the US says it targeted coastal missile sites to secure shipping lanes near the Strait of Hormuz.
