President of the Iranian Red Crescent Society, Pirhossein Kolivand, stated that the United States and Israel have targeted over 80,000 civilian locations in Iran since the start of their “aggression.” Kolivand highlighted the breaches of international humanitarian law during these attacks, emphasizing that more than 20,000 units were hit in Tehran and over 60,000 in other areas.
He mentioned that nearly 18,790 commercial units were among the targets, with 266 medical centers and 498 schools also being attacked. The strikes resulted in the deaths of 12 medical staff members and injuries to over 90 others. Kolivand further noted that hundreds of individuals, including children and 231 women, have lost their lives in Iran since the conflict began.
Reports indicated that the death toll in Iran due to the war has surpassed 1,500. Additionally, the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) announced the downing of an Israeli F-16 Fighting Falcon in Iran’s central airspace. The Iranian armed forces targeted fuel tanks for military aircraft at Ben Gurion Airport near Tel Aviv, as reported by Iranian state media.
Iran’s Khatam al-Anbiya Central Headquarters spokesperson, Ebrahim Zolfaghari, issued a warning of potential strikes on Ras Al-Khaimah in the UAE if attacks from its territory against southern Iranian islands persist. Zolfaghari emphasized Iran’s commitment to defending its territory and national sovereignty against any form of invasion.
Following joint attacks by Israel and the US on Tehran and other Iranian cities on February 28, which resulted in the deaths of Iran’s former Supreme Leader and senior military figures, Iran retaliated with missile and drone strikes on Israeli and US bases in the Middle East.
