Tehran Building Devastated by Airstrike, Residents Recount Terrifying Experience TEHRAN, Iran – A building in the Iranian capital has sustained severe damage from what Iranian authorities describe as an airstrike, according to a report by CNN Senior International Correspondent Frederik Pleitgen on June 25. The incident, which Iranians attribute to Israel, reportedly impacted residential areas, causing significant destruction and resulting in casualties. According to Iranian officials, the damaged building housed a bakery, a beauty salon, and two residential units. Initial reports indicate that several individuals were killed in the strike, and many others sustained injuries, with at least one person still hospitalized. Residents of adjacent buildings described the harrowing experience. One resident, whose identity was not disclosed, recounted the sequence of events: "Suddenly I heard an impact," he stated, "Then an explosion. Before that, I heard a plane in the air. All the windows were shattered over me, but the curtains stopped part of the glass. I was thrown to the corner of the kitchen." The extent of the damage suggests a powerful blast, with debris scattered across multiple floors and structural integrity severely compromised. The adjacent building also shows signs of the powerful impact, with personal belongings, including chocolates, found amidst the rubble in what appears to be a former office and sleeping area. The situation has left residents in a state of terror and uncertainty.
