In the capital city of Tehran, numerous buildings fell, killing four Iranians, including two police officers, and injuring at least 11, according to local media on Monday.
In the southwest of the city, “unauthorized buildings” were scheduled to be demolished on Sunday, according to ISNA news agency, which reported at least three fatalities in the incident.
The collapse of unauthorized constructions in the southwest of Tehran resulted in the deaths of four persons, including two cops and two civilians, according to Tasnim news agency on Monday.
According to ISNA and Tasnim, rescue efforts were under way to locate any further people who might be buried beneath the rubble.
According to ISNA, five buildings fell as authorities were about to demolish one.
According to a police statement cited in the newspaper, the fell structures “did not comply with construction safety measures.”
According to the local newspaper Hamshahri, a Tehran city official claimed on Saturday that over 46,000 illegal buildings had been destroyed by police in the previous two years.
One of the deadliest such instances in Iran occurred in May 2022, when a building collapsed in the southwest of the country, killing 43 people.
The collapse of the 10-story Metropol building, which was under construction in the Khuzestan province city of Abadan, provoked nationwide demonstrations against corruption and inept government officials.
