Resulting flash floods and landslides have caused damage to infrastructure and power outages. Twenty people were reported dead and at least 12 are still missing in the provinces of Tehran and Alborz.

Teheran, the capital of Iran was battered by torrential rainfall and strong winds, brought by a sudden summer storm onset on Sunday afternoon. The strongest damage was inflicted upon the northern, northwestern and western areas of the capital.

The force of the runoff from the flooding was so strong that dozens of cars were swept away including some with passengers inside.
