Scenes From the Iran War |
Two weeks later, there’s still no reason to believe the war in Iran will end anytime soon, and even if it did, so much damage has already been done. The death toll continues to mount, including at least 1,300 civilians in Iran, hundreds more in Lebanon, and as of Friday, 13 U.S. servicemembers who have been killed in action. Millions more have been displaced. And though U.S. and Israel have struck thousands of targets and President Trump invents new ways to declare premature victory each day, the counterstrikes from Iran and its allies continue, too. The Strait of Hormuz is impassable, the global oil market is a mess, and it’s not clear that anybody really knows what will happen, or what to do, next.
Below is a curated collection of photos and videos that capture some of the scale and scope of the past week of the war, both in and outside of Iran. (Most of the videos aren’t yet verified, but they all come from trustworthy sources.)

Chants, gunfire, and drones in Tehran
A BBC Persian compilation of videos published by Vahid Online on Wednesday, March 10, “in which the sound of drones and gunfire can be heard in various parts of Tehran, including the center, southeast, and east of the capital. In these videos, anti-government chants are also heard, including “Death to the parasite Basiji.”

The most startling sound
“Explosions during a Friday, March 13 attack on somewhere in Karaj close to Kordan.” (Something whizzes by the person recording this video — and the sound it makes is absolutely terrifying.)
