Iran reported that more than 1,000 people have been killed in the country since Saturday as a result of US-Israeli strikes. The toll follows joint US-Israeli attacks on Tehran and several other Iranian cities starting Saturday morning, which resulted in the deaths of Iran’s Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, his family members, top military commanders and many civilians.
In the early hours of Wednesday, US and Israeli forces struck a girls’ school in Urmia in Iran’s West Azerbaijan province. An air strike also hit the Hezbollah stronghold of south Beirut early Thursday after Israel issued a warning to residents.
Iraeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s office said Israel and the United States had made “historic gains” in their war against Iran.
A spokesperson for Netanyahu said in a video message that the attack was needed as Iran was using “new underground bunkers” to rebuild its atomic bomb programme.
Meanwhile, the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) said damage due to attacks was also visible at two buildings near the Isfahan nuclear site, but there has been no damage to facilities containing nuclear material and no risk of radiological release.
