Iranian residents and rescuers gather at a destroyed residential building as a search is carried out, in northern Tehran on March 23, 2026. A series of strong explosions were heard in the Iranian capital on March 23, an AFP journalist said, as the war with the United States and Israel raged for its fourth week. On February 28, Israel and the United States launched strikes on Iran killing its supreme leader and triggering a war that spread across the Middle East and unleashed chaos across global markets and sent oil prices soaring.
