Iran-Israel Conflict: The ongoing military conflict between Iran and Israel has taken a severe turn. Israeli airstrikes have resulted in the deaths of over 950 Iranian civilians and injured more than 3,450. The US military has also targeted Iranian nuclear facilities. The situation is deteriorating rapidly, and tensions between the two countries continue to escalate.
Escalating Confrontation, Increasing Devastation
The military conflict between Iran and Israel in the Middle East has reached a deadly turning point. Recent attacks have resulted in a large number of casualties and the destruction of several cities. According to Washington-based human rights groups, Israeli airstrikes have killed over 950 Iranians. Over 380 of these are civilians, with an additional 253 military personnel among the casualties.
Iranian Cities Devastated by Airstrikes
Israeli missiles have targeted numerous Iranian cities, including areas surrounding the capital Tehran, as well as major cities such as Isfahan, Shiraz, and Kermanshah. Many buildings have completely collapsed, and rescue workers are spending hours retrieving bodies from the rubble.
Thousands Injured
According to the Iranian Ministry of Health, over 3,056 people have been injured, many critically. Hospitals are overwhelmed, and the government has accelerated emergency medical services. Many injured are being transferred to neighboring cities.
US Launches Airstrikes
The United States has actively participated in this conflict. Reports indicate that the US military launched attacks on key Iranian nuclear facilities on Saturday night. These include sensitive locations such as Fordo, Natanz, and Isfahan. Iran has confirmed the attacks, reporting significant damage but claiming its nuclear weapons remain intact.
Casualties from US Strikes Unclear
However, the exact number of casualties resulting from the US strikes remains unclear. The Iranian Ministry of Defense has acknowledged that the attacks impacted its nuclear program but has not released any figures regarding fatalities.
Limited Information from Iran
It is noteworthy that the Iranian government is not consistently sharing information regarding the conflict. While the Iranian Ministry of Health stated on Saturday that approximately 400 people had died and thousands were injured in Israeli attacks, this figure is now considered outdated due to the increased number and intensity of attacks over the past two days.
Israel Also Suffers Losses
Since the beginning of this military conflict on June 13th, Israel has also suffered losses. On June 21st, the Israeli government reported that 24 civilians were killed and over 900 injured in Iranian attacks. However, this number is also subject to change, as Iran is now retaliating.
Iranian Missiles Target Tel Aviv and Other Cities
Following the US attacks, Iran has intensified its missile strikes. Reports indicate that Iranian missiles are impacting several Israeli cities, including Tel Aviv, Haifa, and Beersheba. Detailed information on the extent of damage from these attacks is still unavailable, but experts believe the death toll may rise.
