Reuters. Eyewitness video released on Tuesday (March 10) showed destroyed buildings and rubble on the ground as onlookers, some screaming, searched for survivors in Karaj, west of Tehran.
Reuters confirmed the location as Karaj, Iran, by the buildings, road layout and trees seen in the videos, which matched satellite imagery of the area. The exact date when the videos were filmed could not be verified, but no older version of the videos was found posted online before March 10.
Tehran residents reached by Reuters described intense U.S.-Israeli bombardment of the capital overnight as the fiercest of the war.
Israel's military said it had hit a weapons research-and-development target in Tehran, among a wave of overnight strikes on the capital, and launched more strikes later on Tuesday.
A source familiar with Israel's war plans told Reuters the Israeli military was trying to inflict as much damage as possible before the window for further strikes closes, under the assumption Trump could end the war at any time.
