At least 555 people have been killed in US-Israeli strikes across Iran, the Iranian Red Crescent Society says, amid another wave of intensive attacks and Iranian counterstrikes on Israel and United States assets in the Middle East region.
At least 35 people were killed on Monday morning in southern Iran’s Fars province, according to the Mehr news agency. The outlet also reported more than 20 people killed in an attack on Niloofar Square in Tehran.
The Fars news agency said at least two people were killed in the central city of Sanandaj as several residential buildings next to the city’s police station were destroyed. The Tasnim news agency said U.S. and Israeli forces dropped six missiles on different parts of the city, including densely populated neighbourhoods.
Reza Najafi, Iran’s ambassador to the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), the United Nations’ nuclear watchdog, told reporters that U.S.-Israeli air strikes had targeted Iran’s Natanz nuclear enrichment site on Sunday.
