Tehran’s municipal authorities have revealed extensive damage to residential infrastructure following weeks of ongoing US-Israeli airstrikes, with approximately 33,000 homes and apartment units across the capital affected.
According to Abdolmotahhar Mohammadkhani, spokesperson for the Tehran mayor’s office, the scale of destruction ranges from minor structural issues—such as broken doors and windows—to complete destruction requiring full reconstruction. Authorities have already initiated rebuilding work on around 4,000 residential units, either through direct municipal intervention or with financial assistance provided to homeowners.
The crisis has also displaced a significant number of residents. Officials report that 1,869 families have required immediate housing support. Of these, 1,245 families—comprising nearly 4,200 individuals—have been temporarily accommodated in 23 designated residential facilities. Meanwhile, some residents have opted to stay with relatives or relocate to other cities, and approximately 140 families have returned home following minor repairs.
On a broader scale, the Iranian Red Crescent Society stated that more than 115,000 civilian structures nationwide have been damaged or destroyed over the past five weeks. This includes over 91,000 residential properties and more than 22,000 commercial units, highlighting the widespread humanitarian and infrastructural impact of the conflict.
The developments underscore the growing civilian toll and the urgent need for large-scale reconstruction and humanitarian assistance across affected regions.
