Residential area hit in Tehran, rescue operations begin Rescue efforts are underway in Tehran after a US-Israeli air attack struck a residential area, the Iranian Red Crescent Society said. In a post on X, the group said its aid workers had been deployed and were “attempting to rescue their fellow citizens.” The strike comes amid ongoing bombardment of the capital, where emergency teams have repeatedly been deployed to search for survivors under rubble following attacks.
Iranian television reported an “American-Zionist attack targeting Sharif University of Technology” west of Tehran, as explosions were heard across the capital. Al Jazeera reported that warplanes were flying overhead as blasts were reported in multiple areas. فوری؛ هم اکنون حمله هوایی به یک منطقه مسکونی در تهران / امدادگران هلال احمر درحال امدادرسانی به هموطنان آسیب دیده The footage clearly shows the first moments after an airstrike on a residential area and Iranian Red Crescent aid workers attempting to rescue their fellow pic.twitter.com/bxHBcBGzta — جمعیت هلالاحمر ایران (@Iranian_RCS) April 6, 2026
