At least 787 people have reportedly been killed in ongoing military strikes carried out by the United States and Israel on Iran, according to the Iran Red Crescent Society.
The joint attacks, which began on February 28, reportedly resulted in the death of Iran’s Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, further escalating tensions in the Middle East.
Allegations of Civilian Targeting
Iran has accused US forces of targeting schools, hospitals, and residential areas in the capital city, Tehran. Additionally, an airstrike allegedly carried out by Israel on a school in Minab reportedly killed 160 schoolgirls, triggering widespread international outrage.
Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi shared images of burial sites prepared for the deceased children, which have since gone viral on social media, sparking global condemnation and emotional reactions.
Escalating Regional Impact
Following the initial strikes, Iran has intensified retaliatory attacks targeting US military bases across the Middle East. The continued escalation has severely disrupted normal life in several countries across the region.
The situation remains highly volatile, with mounting civilian casualties and increasing global concern over the potential expansion of the conflict.
