Hengaw Reports 1,500 Killed in US and Israeli Strikes on Iran
The Hengaw Organization for Human Rights stated that at least 1,500 people have been killed in US and Israeli attacks on Iran, including 1,300 military personnel and 200 civilians.
Hengaw's report, published Monday, detailed strikes on military and government centers in 150 cities across 22 provinces. Targeted sites included Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps bases, Basij centers, military airports, missile facilities, police stations, judicial institutions, intelligence headquarters, army barracks and special forces compounds.
The organization reported the highest military casualties in Tehran, Kermanshah, West Azerbaijan, East Azerbaijan and Kurdistan provinces. It claimed the highest civilian toll in Hormozgan province, where many victims were elementary school girls at the Shajareh Tayyebeh school. Iranian authorities stated 168 people were killed and 95 injured in that school attack.
Hengaw also documented civilian deaths, including children, in Tehran, Razavi Khorasan, Qazvin, Alborz, Kermanshah, Kurdistan, West Azerbaijan and East Azerbaijan provinces. It said nearby residential and administrative buildings suffered severe damage.
Hengaw rejected figures from the Iranian Red Crescent Society, which reported 555 deaths, accusing the government of underreporting casualties.
The group said the conflict escalated after the US and Israel launched large-scale operations against Iran on Saturday, with hostilities ongoing. It claimed senior Iranian figures, including Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei and high-ranking military officials, were killed in initial strikes.
