Death toll in Iran surpasses 1,000 as Israel-US strikes continue
"Israeli attacks on Wednesday struck the country's capital Tehran, the holy city of Qom, western Iran and across Iran's central Isfahan province, according to the country's Tasnim news agency. The attacks also damaged residential units, the agency added. Israel said it hit buildings belonging to the Basij, a volunteer police paramilitary force of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), as well as targeting buildings associated with Iran's internal security command."
"Reporting from Tehran, Al Jazeera's Mohamed Vall said civilians are bearing the brunt of these attacks, and noted that the country is under fire from every direction. There is a continuous, sustained campaign across the country that is not sparing any region, city or area, he said. But we know 300 children and adolescents have been hospitalised with more than 6,000 [people] wounded, he added."
"The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) said damage due to attacks was also visible at two buildings near the Isfahan nuclear site, but there has been no damage to facilities containing nuclear material and no risk of radiological release."
Israel launched widespread air strikes targeting Iranian security forces across multiple regions including Tehran, Qom, and Isfahan province on Wednesday, marking the fifth day of US-Israeli military operations. The attacks struck buildings belonging to the Basij paramilitary force and Iran's internal security command, with damage extending to residential areas. The death toll exceeded 1,045, with over 6,000 wounded and 300 children hospitalized. Civilians across the country face continuous bombardment from multiple directions. The International Atomic Energy Agency confirmed damage near Isfahan's nuclear site but reported no harm to nuclear facilities or radiological risk. Ayatollah Ali Khamenei's funeral ceremony was postponed due to logistical constraints amid the ongoing military campaign.
