SAEDNEWS: A member of Tehran’s City Council has outlined the types of assistance the municipality will provide to residents whose homes were damaged during the recent war.
According to SAEDNEWS, Mehdi Pirhadi, head of the Tehran City Council’s Health and Environment Commission, said the city’s approach goes beyond short‑term crisis management and focuses on strengthening social resilience in the face of what he described as war‑driven pressures.
Speaking to reporters, Pirhadi explained that municipal authorities are working to activate legal incentive packages aimed at accelerating the reconstruction of destroyed homes. Plans developed in response to the recent 12‑day conflict are also being implemented as part of the effort.
According to Pirhadi, damaged homes fall into two main categories.
The first category includes houses that suffered minor damage, such as broken doors, windows, or damaged walls. In these cases, Tehran Municipality has begun carrying out urgent repair work.
The second category involves homes that require demolition and full reconstruction. For these properties, the municipality has introduced several incentives to assist owners.
Pirhadi said that construction permit fees will be waived, meaning residents will not have to pay building charges for rebuilding their homes. In addition, property owners will be allowed to add one extra floor when reconstructing their buildings.
City officials say the measures are intended to speed up rebuilding efforts and help affected families recover more quickly from the damage caused by the conflict.
