Hundreds of people have been killed in Tehran since the start of the military strikes launched by the United States and Israel against Iran, according to Iranian emergency officials.
Mehr Soroush, deputy head of the Tehran Emergency Health Department, said at least 460 people had died in the Iranian capital since the attacks began on Feb. 28.
Authorities also reported that 4,309 others were injured during the same period as the fighting intensified.
Soroush said several emergency response facilities were affected by the strikes.
At least 18 ambulances and an equal number of emergency bases in Tehran were damaged during the attacks, he said in remarks carried by state broadcaster IRIB News.
Iranian officials said the ongoing offensive by the United States and Israel had resulted in more than 1,200 deaths across the country.
