Local authorities warned that the number of casualties may rise following the disaster in the east of the country.
Ambulances, helicopters and other rescue workers have arrived in the area around 340 miles east of the capital Tehran, where communication is poor. Aerial footage of the disaster showed train cars on their side, with some rescuers running at the scene as they tried to care for those injured.
