Description

An Iranian flag is planted in the rubble of a police station, damaged in airstrikes on March 3, 2026 in Tehran, Iran.

After two weeks of war in Iran, hundreds of people have been killed, millions more displaced and billions of dollars have been spent. The war’s devastation has spilled across the region, throwing it into upheaval and leaving many questioning when the conflict will end and how much more will be lost. Experts who spoke to NPR said the numbers below only reflect information available right now, and could be far greater as more details are released, especially in terms of long-term economic impacts and civilian casualties.
