Tehran / United Nations: Iran has claimed that at least 1,332 civilians have been killed since the United States and Israel launched airstrikes across the country, according to statements made by Iranian officials at the United Nations.
Iran Raises Civilian Casualty Figures
Iran’s ambassador to the United Nations said the death toll from the ongoing air campaign has reached 1,332 civilians, including women and children, with thousands more injured since the attacks began in late February.
Iranian officials accused the United States and Israel of targeting infrastructure and civilian areas during the military campaign. They said residential buildings, schools, and medical facilities have been damaged in several cities.
According to Iranian health authorities, the war has also left more than 10,000 people injured, many suffering from burns and crush injuries caused by airstrikes and explosions.
Widespread Damage to Infrastructure
Authorities in Tehran say the strikes have damaged critical infrastructure across the country, including hospitals and emergency services. Reports indicate that dozens of healthcare facilities and ambulances have been hit, forcing some hospitals to shut down.
Iranian officials claim more than 200 cities and towns have experienced attacks since the conflict began, making it one of the most intense military campaigns in the country’s recent history.
Conflict Escalates Across the Middle East
The ongoing conflict between the United States, Israel, and Iran has rapidly expanded across the Middle East. Iran has launched retaliatory missile and drone strikes against Israeli territory and U.S. military bases in the region.
The war has also spread to neighboring countries including Lebanon and parts of the Gulf region, raising fears of a wider regional conflict.
Global Concerns Over Humanitarian Impact
International organizations and humanitarian groups have expressed concern about the growing civilian toll and the damage to healthcare infrastructure.
Experts warn that continued airstrikes could worsen the humanitarian crisis, particularly if hospitals, residential areas, and energy facilities remain under threat.
Uncertain Path to De-Escalation
Despite rising casualties, there are currently no clear signs of immediate de-escalation. Diplomatic efforts at the United Nations and among major world powers are ongoing, but fighting between Iran and Israel, backed by the United States, continues to intensify.
As the conflict enters another week, the civilian toll and humanitarian impact are expected to remain key concerns for the international community.
