More than 20 cities across Iran were targeted in military strikes early this morning, causing significant damage and mobilizing emergency services across the country. According to an official from the Iranian Red Crescent Society, the strikes hit various regions, prompting an immediate large-scale humanitarian response.
Operative Information Center-OMM, citing the Mehr news agency, reports that the official identified the United States and Israel as the parties responsible for the coordinated attacks. The official stated that all rescue teams and technical equipment have been deployed to the affected sites to manage the aftermath of the strikes.
Red Crescent brigades are operating in the field with full staff. Search and rescue operations are continuing in the affected areas. Citizens have been warned to stay away from the targeted locations for safety purposes.
The scale of the destruction and the exact number of casualties are currently being clarified as authorities conduct assessments in the targeted provinces.
