20 of 31 Iran’s provinces ‘affected in attacks’

Staff Reporter :

More than 20 of Iran’s 31 provinces have been impacted by US and Israeli strikes launched on Saturday, Iran’s Red Crescent Society said.

“Up until now, more than 20 provinces have been affected in attacks,” spokesman Mojtaba Khaledi said, according to state media.

Meanwhile, An Israeli strike hit an elementary girls’ school in Minab, Hormozgan province, killing at least 51 students. Iran’s state news agency IRNA reported this information.

The massive joint attack by the United States and Israel on Iran has escalated tensions across the Middle East, raising fears of a broader regional conflict.

Iranian retaliation has targeted US assets in several Gulf Arab states, including Bahrain, Kuwait, Qatar, and the United Arab Emirates, where American military bases are hosted.

Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) claimed responsibility for strikes against “all Israeli and US military targets in the Middle East,” vowing that the operation “will continue relentlessly until the enemy is decisively defeated.”
