US-Israeli bombing damages nearly 43,000 civilian units in Iran

The US-Israeli military assault on Iran has damaged at least 42,914 civilian units, a government spokesperson reported Saturday, as regional violence triggered by the campaign entered a third week.

Of those, 36,489 were residential units and were 43 emergency bases, the spokesperson added. At least 120 schools have been damaged.

More than 1,300 people have been killed in Iran, the country’s ambassador to the UN said Tuesday. However, the death toll could be much higher, according to the US-based Human Rights Activists News Agency (HRANA) on Friday, which said at least 1,858 people killed. Iranian authorities have not updated the official tally in more than a week.

Up to 3.2 million people have been displaced in Iran, the UN’s refugee agency said on Thursday. Migrant workers and refugee families from other war-ravaged nations in the region are among those most vulnerable, the UN added.
