Iran death toll nears 650 as Israeli strikes hit 21 provinces

Israeli military strikes have spread to 21 provinces across Iran, the Human Rights Activists News Agency (HRANA) reported, marking the seventh day of direct conflict.

HRANA said at least 639 people have been killed and 1,329 wounded since the attacks began on June 14, bringing total casualties to 1,968.

The organization’s figures cover the entire country, though Iranian authorities have yet to specify how many of the dead are civilians or military personnel.

On Thursday, Israeli strikes targeted Tehran, Karaj, Shiraz, and Arak’s heavy water reactor, but full damage assessments remain unavailable.

Israeli emergency services reported Wednesday that Iran’s attacks have killed 24 people and injured more than 1,300, further deepening fears of a prolonged regional conflict.

Israel's emergency rescue service said the number of people injured in the Islamic Republic's missile attack on Thursday at a hospital and civilian areas has risen to 70.
