A blaze at a shopping complex in the western outskirts of Tehran left at least 10 people injured on Tuesday, according to reports from Iranian news outlets.
Fire department officials told Iran’s state television network IRIB that crews had “largely contained” the flames.
Authorities have not yet determined what sparked the fire, according to the semi-official Fars news agency.
Video footage broadcast by Iranian news organizations, including Fars, captured thick smoke billowing from the shopping center.
Reuters confirmed the incident’s location by matching structural features, power lines, vegetation and street patterns visible in the footage with archived photographs and satellite images of the area.
The shopping center fire occurred amid rising tensions between Iran and the United States, as a delicate ceasefire faces new strain following Monday’s military exchanges between the two nations.
