At least 555 Iranians killed in US-Israeli aggression: IRCS
Armed Forces launch retaliatory attacks against Israel
The Iranian Red Crescent Society said in a statement on Monday that at least 555 Iranians have lost their lives after a joint act of aggression by Israel and the United States against Iran since Saturday.
The organization said that rescue and relief operations are continuing without interruption in nearly 131 towns and cities affected in the aggression.
Leader of Iran’s Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei was also martyred following the attacks by Israel and the US on his humble residence in Tehran on Saturday morning.
Several other cowardly assassinations were also carried out simultaneously on the lives of senior Iranian military commanders on the same day.
Chairman of the Chief of Staff of Iran’s Armed Forces Major General Abdolrahim Mousavi, Commander-in-Chief of the Islamic Revolution’s Guards Corps (IRGC) Major General Mohammad Pakpour, Minister of Defense Brigadier General Aziz Nasirzadeh, and Representative of the Leader in the Supreme Defense Council Ali Shamkhani were martyred on Saturday.
An Iranian lawmaker has said at least seven medical centers, including Tehran’s Gandhi hospital, have been damaged in the attacks.
The Chief of the World Health Organization Tedros Adhanom said in a post on X that reports of Tehran’s Gandhi Hospital being damaged during the strikes are extremely worrying.
He said all efforts must be taken to prevent health facilities from being caught up in the ongoing conflict. Adhanom underlined that health facilities are protected under international humanitarian law.
Iran’s retaliation
Iran’s Armed Forces have vowed to avenge the blood of the martyrs until a complete defeat is imposed upon the enemies of Iran.
On Monday, the IRGC announced that in the tenth wave of the True Promise 4 Operation, it targeted an Israeli regime’s government complex in Tel Aviv and also struck a site in East Al-Quds, among other Israel’s positions.
