Six of the deceased, three of the wounded and three of the missing are Iraqi nationals, Nejad Jahani, deputy head of the National Disaster Management Organization (NDMO), told semi-official Tasnim News Agency.
Search, rescue and aid operations are underway in 661 regions in 24 provinces, with a focus on Firuzkuh County of Tehran Province where roads blocked by the flooding have been reopened, said Pir-Hossein Koulivand, president of the Iranian Red Crescent Society.
The casualties are likely to increase as the rescue work continues, said Jahani.
