Iran on Tuesday reported that 18 people, including two children, were killed in strikes in Alborz province neighboring the capital, citing a provincial official.
A deputy governor of Alborz province stated that US-Israeli strikes attacked residential areas and that “the deaths of 18 of our fellow citizens, including two young children, have been confirmed,” according to the judiciary’s Mizan Online website and Fars news agency.
The early morning attack wounded 24 individuals, according to the deputy governor.
In recent days, Iran’s government has yet to issue an updated overall casualty toll for the battle.
Due to reporting constraints, the AFP is unable to access strike locations in Iran to independently verify tolls.
On April 6, the US-based Human Rights Activists News Agency (HRANA) reported that at least 3,597 individuals had been murdered, including 1,665 civilians, including at least 248 children, 1,221 military members, and 711 others whose status was unknown.
