Videos circulating on social media show scenes of panic and confusion outside Tehran’s Gandhi Hospital after it was hit during the latest wave of US–Israeli airstrikes on the Iranian capital.Footage showed earlier in the day showed visible structural damage to the hospital building on Gandhi Street, with shattered windows and debris scattered across the entrance. In separate 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 told Reuters that Israeli strikes had directly hit the hospital area on Sunday, leaving the facility “badly damaged” and forcing staff to move patients into the street. Videos show people running in different directions, some shouting for relatives, as smoke rises in the background. The full extent of casualties at the hospital was not immediately clear.The strike came as explosions were reported across northern Tehran late on Sunday. Israel has said it is taking its campaign to the “heart” of the Iranian capital, following the killing of Iran’s Supreme Leader in a joint US–Israeli operation a day earlier. The widening assault has intensified fears over civilian safety in densely populated areas.The broader conflict has entered its second day, with Iran firing missiles and drones towards Israel and targeting US military installations across the Gulf. Regional tensions have risen sharply, prompting diplomatic and military responses from multiple countries.In Washington, a senior White House official said potential new figures within Iran’s leadership had signalled openness to talks with the United States. President Donald Trump told The Atlantic that he had agreed to speak with Iran’s new leadership, saying: “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, underscoring the growing toll on civilians caught in the crossfire.
