Iran is building a "defensive tunnel" in the capital Tehran following strikes by Israel on targets in the country, APA reports citing Reuters.
The tunnel, located near the city centre, will link a station on the Tehran metro to the Imam Khomeini hospital, thus allowing direct underground access to the medical facility.
"For the first time in the country, a tunnel with defensive applications is being built in Tehran," the head of transport for Tehran City Council told Tasnim News Agency.
