One witness described the 17-storey tower's collapse as like a "scene from a horror movie". "At least 45 firefighters are among the injured ones. All of the injured people were sent to hospitals. Most of them have been discharged," state TV reported. (Writing by Parisa Hafezi; Editing by Louise Ireland)
