More than 700 people have been killed in Iran following joint military strikes carried out by the United States and Israel, according to figures released by the U.S.-based Iranian human rights monitoring agency HRANA.
The coordinated attacks took place on Saturday and targeted multiple locations, including the capital, Tehran. The strikes were reportedly aimed at Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and senior military and government officials. There has been no official confirmation regarding the extent of damage to the intended high-level targets.
HRANA said that as of Monday, at least 742 people had been killed. Among those killed were 176 children. The organization also reported that more than 900 people were injured in the attacks.
In the past 24 hours alone, at least 85 additional deaths were recorded, HRANA stated, adding that reports of hundreds more fatalities remain under verification.
Religious and Residential Sites Reported Damaged
According to HRANA, the strikes caused damage beyond military facilities. A mosque in Karaj, a governor’s office in southern Tehran, the Shahid Bahonar Pier in Bandar Abbas near the Strait of Hormuz, and multiple residential buildings were reportedly damaged.
Iranian authorities have also claimed that several hospitals in Tehran sustained damage during the attacks. These claims have not been independently verified.
Military Facilities Also Hit
On the military side, HRANA reported that the headquarters of the Kurdistan Law Enforcement Command and the Kurdistan Border Guard Command Center in the western city of Sanandaj were hit. Damage was also reported at an air force base in Isfahan and at a military installation in Tehran.
International media outlets noted that the casualty figures and damage assessments have yet to be independently confirmed. U.S. television network CNN reported that details surrounding the strikes remain unverified by independent sources.
The reported scale of civilian casualties and infrastructure damage has intensified regional tensions, with the situation drawing close international attention as diplomatic responses continue to unfold.
