The central headquarters of the Tehran Province Emergency Medical Services was heavily damaged in an airstrike, injuring the agency's director and multiple staff members while citywide emergency operations continued uninterrupted.
State media outlet IRNA, the official news agency of the Islamic Republic, reported that the central headquarters of the Tehran Province Emergency Medical Services on Iranshahr Street was targeted in a recent airstrike, causing serious damage to the facility and forcing a complete evacuation. Neighboring buildings were also hit by missiles. Local news channel Akharin Khabar Tehran explicitly framed the incident as an act of aggression by the American-Zionist enemy, stating that the medical facility was directly targeted by hostile forces.
Mohammad-Esmail Tavakkoli, the head of the Tehran Province EMS, sustained back and hand injuries during the attack, according to the IRGC News Channel, a pro-military, state-aligned source. Multiple EMS technicians and personnel were also wounded in the strike, with injuries ranging from superficial to severe.
Despite the heavy structural damage, emergency officials emphasized that medical response operations remain fully functional. An EMS spokesperson confirmed that emergency technicians remain on full alert and that there is no disruption to the rescue and relief processes in the city, as outlined by IRNA. This resilient messaging was widely amplified across the Iranian media spectrum, including by the reformist, government-aligned Supporters of Pezeshkian channel, the conservative Vatan-e-Emrooz Newspaper outlet, and the mainstream news aggregator Akharin Khabar, which underscored the continuation of relief efforts despite the casualties.
Sources across the Iranian political spectrum—from reformist to hardline conservative and IRGC-affiliated channels—show complete alignment in their reporting of the EMS headquarters strike, heavily emphasizing the resilience of state emergency services.
