Attacks by the US and Israel killed 555 in Iran, says Red Crescent

According to the Iranian Red Crescent, at least 555 people have died in Iran due to attacks by the US and Israel that began on Saturday (28).

The Iranian Red Crescent has reported that at least 555 people have died in Iran as a result of ongoing military attacks by the United States and Israel. These attacks, which commenced on Saturday, have reportedly targeted at least 131 cities across the country, highlighting the widespread nature of the conflict. One of the deadliest incidents attributed to these strikes was a bombing at a female school in Minab, which the Iranian regime claims resulted in the deaths of 153 individuals. This particular event has been the subject of debate, with opponents of the Iranian government contesting the official narrative.

While a representative of the Israeli Armed Forces stated that they have no knowledge of operations in the area, this claim contrasts sharply with reports from the Iranian regime and the on-the-ground realities presented through various media sources. The BBC has verified videos from the scene, showing smoke rising from buildings and crowds gathering to witness the destruction. However, despite the visual evidence, independent verification of the casualty figures remains elusive, complicating the narrative surrounding the event.

In a recent interview with Fox News, former President Trump mentioned that 48 members of the Iranian regime had been killed, although there has been no official confirmation of this claim. The Iranian state media did confirm the death of high-ranking military leaders during an in-person meeting, adding another layer of complexity to the ongoing conflict and its ramifications for regional stability. The unfolding situation continues to be closely monitored by international observers as the implications of these attacks extend beyond Iran's borders as tensions rise in the wake of such significant casualties.
