Ten hurt in fire at shopping center west of Tehran, Iranian media says

  • Iranian media, including Fars, showed video of ⁠a plume of heavy ‌smoke rising ‌from the site

At least 10 people ​were hurt after a fire broke out in a shopping center west of Tehran, Iranian media reported on Tuesday.
Iran’s state broadcaster IRIB cited ‌the fire ‌department as saying ​that ‌the ⁠fire ​had been “largely ⁠contained.” The cause of the incident remains unknown, the semi-official Fars news agency reported.
Iranian media, including Fars, showed video of ⁠a plume of heavy ‌smoke rising ‌from the site.
Reuters ​was ‌able to verify the ‌location by the buildings, utility poles, trees and road layout that matched the archive and ‌satellite imagery of the area.
The fire broke out ⁠as ⁠a fragile ceasefire between Iran and the United States comes under renewed pressure following an exchange of fire between the two sides on Monday.
