Amid the escalating tensions between
Iran and Israel, videos circulating online show scenes of panic and destruction outside Tehran’s Gandhi Hospital after it was hit by the latest US-Israel airstrikes on Iran. Footage from the side showed visible structural damage to the hospital building located on Gandhi Street in Tehran.
In clips shared by Iran’s Tasnim News Agency, nurses could be seen carrying infants in their arms as they rushed to evacuate wards amid blaring alarms. Two witnesses at the site told Reuters that the Israeli strikes had directly hit the hospital area on Sunday, leaving the facility “badly damaged”.

The sources also noted that the strikes forced the hospital staff to move patients into the street. Videos online also showed people running in different directions, some shouting for their loved ones, and a plume of smoke rises from the background. The full extent of casualties at the hospital was not immediately clear.
Iran rocked by Israel-US strikes
The hospital was rocked by the strike late on Sunday as explosions were reported across northern Tehran. Meanwhile, Israel has said that it is taking its campaign to the “heart” of the Iranian capital, following the killing of Iran’s Supreme Leader
Ayatollah Ali Khamenei in a joint US–Israeli operation a day earlier.
The widening assault in the span of two days has intensified fears over the safety of civilians in densely populated areas. Iran has been retaliating against Israel and the US’s strikes by firing missiles and drones towards Israel and targeting American military installations across the Gulf.
Regional tensions have risen sharply, prompting diplomatic and military responses from multiple countries. Meanwhile, in Washington, sources said that potential new figures within Iran’s leadership had signalled openness to talks with the United States.
US President Donald Trump told The Atlantic that he had
spoken with Iran’s new leadership. “They want to talk, and I have agreed to talk, so I will be talking to them.” However, the official added that for now the military operation “continues unabated”. As air raid sirens and blasts continue to rock Tehran, the scenes at Gandhi Hospital have become one of the most striking images of the escalating conflict, reflecting the impact of the war on the civilians.
