"At least 555 people have been killed in US-Israeli strikes across 131 counties in Iran, the Iranian Red Crescent Society says, amid another wave of intensive attacks and Iranian counterstrikes on Israel and US assets in the Middle East region."
"Reza Najafi, Iran's ambassador to the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), the United Nations nuclear watchdog, told reporters that US-Israeli air strikes had targeted Iran's Natanz nuclear enrichment site on Sunday. Their justification that Iran wants to develop nuclear weapons is simply a big lie, Najafi said, describing the facility as peaceful."
"This shows the scope of the attacks on Iran, with raids targeting not just political centres and military headquarters. We are witnessing damage to civilian buildings, with some of them fully demolished in some cases. And this is concerning because the civilian fatalities are growing."
US-Israeli military strikes across Iran have resulted in at least 555 deaths according to the Iranian Red Crescent Society, affecting 131 counties. Recent attacks on Monday killed at least 35 people in Fars province and over 20 in Tehran's Niloofar Square. Strikes have targeted multiple cities including Sanandaj, where residential buildings near a police station were destroyed, and Kermanshah, where smoke was visible near the international airport. Iran's ambassador to the IAEA reported that Natanz nuclear enrichment site was targeted, characterizing it as a peaceful facility. Civilian casualties are mounting as attacks increasingly impact residential neighborhoods and civilian infrastructure rather than solely military targets.
