Surveillance footage from the early days of the war reveals chaotic scenes inside hospitals in Tehran as air strikes hit nearby areas. The video, released by the Iranian Red Crescent Society recently, captures medical staff scrambling to evacuate patients during the bombardment.
Heroic Rescues Amid Chaos
In one clip, a nurse is seen carrying three newborn babies to safety, while in another, a baby is rushed into an ambulance moments after birth. Staff are also seen placing infants in fruit baskets to move them quickly out of danger.
Escalating Conflict
The Iran conflict has been ongoing since the US-Israel launched Operation Epic Fury on February 28. Since then, tensions have escalated sharply across the Strait of Hormuz and the wider Persian Gulf region, with near-total disruption of oil shipments and repeated naval confrontations.
In the latest developments, US President Donald Trump ordered military action against Iranian small boats and intensified mine-clearing operations in the Strait, further raising fears of escalation. The US also seized another tanker linked to Iranian oil smuggling, while Iran reportedly captured two cargo ships in response, deepening maritime chaos in the region.
Diplomatic Efforts
Diplomatic efforts remain fragile, with Trump announcing a temporary extension of a ceasefire between Israel and Hezbollah after White House talks, even as hostilities continue. Meanwhile, Iran maintains that its leadership is united despite US claims of internal divisions.
