M085-IRAN RESCATES EDIFICIO BOMBARDEADO
Iranian Red Crescent video showed volunteers searching for injured people through rubble of a destroyed building on Monday (March 9) in Tehran's Resalat neighbourhood.
It showed people covered in dust and debris being rescued from the destroyed building and placed on stretchers.
Reuters confirmed the location from road layout, building exterior and trees which matched satellite imagery of the area. Coordinates of the damaged buildings: 35.73951256658418, 51.48752698828381. The date when the video was filmed could not be verified but no older version of the video was found posted online before March 9. Local media reported that residential buildings in Resalat neighbourhood got hit during air strikes on March 9.
At least 1,332 Iranian civilians have been killed, including 175 schoolgirls and staff killed in a missile strike on a primary school in Minab in the country's south and thousands wounded, according to Iran's U.N. ambassador, since the U.S. and Israel began air and missile strikes across Iran at the end of February.
It was unclear if the overall death toll included Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps military casualties. The Iranian army has said that at least 104 people were killed after a U.S. submarine sank an Iranian warship off Sri Lanka's coast last week. Those deaths were not included in the toll given by the Red Crescent.

So far, relief forces and the Red Crescent teams have been able to pull three people alive from under the rubble and bring them out, and they are trying that if anyone else is still trapped under the rubble, they can be rescued quickly. If any bodies of martyrs are still under the rubble, they will also remove the bodies of the martyrs. The structures are very unstable, but the Red Crescent people, with all their efforts, and the firefighting and relief forces, are trying to continue their work.”
