Iranian news channels report that widespread US and Israeli airstrikes across 131 counties have left 555 citizens martyred. Over 100,000 Red Crescent relief workers are on full alert as provincial authorities detail strikes on residential areas and emergency bases.
Following days of widespread airstrikes by the United States and Israel, Iranian media channels report extensive casualties and ongoing emergency operations across the country. According to the Iranian Red Crescent Society, 555 citizens have been martyred across 131 counties involved in the incidents. This figure was prominently circulated by several state-aligned and domestic news aggregators reflecting the official narrative of the Islamic Republic.
The breaking news channel اخبارفوری خبرفوری جنگ امریکا فوری (Urgent News, America War Urgent) stated that following the attacks by the enemies, operations for extrication, relief, transfer, and providing medical services to the injured are continuously underway. They noted that more than 100,000 relief and rescue workers across the country are in a state of full alert.
Mainstream Iranian news aggregator آخرین خبر (Akharin Khabar) shared statements from the Director General of the Foundation of Martyrs in Fars Province, announcing that 35 people in the province were martyred in attacks by America and the Zionist regime. The channel emphasized that due to the continuation of enemy airstrikes this morning, this statistic may increase. Funerals were scheduled in Lamerd for 20 martyrs killed in strikes that hit residential areas and a sports hall. Additionally, 13 others were martyred in Shiraz and other cities, while two prominent martyrs from Fars were killed in Tehran.
Further casualties were documented in the northwest. حامیان پزشکیان (Supporters of Pezeshkian), a channel aligned with the current presidential administration, cited Tasnim News regarding 27 martyred in East Azerbaijan province over the past two days. The Director General of Crisis Management for the province detailed that strikes targeted locations in Tabriz, an emergency medical base in Sarab, Maragheh, and Shabestar. The channel specifically noted that 15 individuals were martyred on Sunday as a result of these savage attacks on the city of Maragheh.
All reporting channels, including subsequent updates from Akharin Khabar and the Pezeshkian channel, uniformly echoed the Red Crescent's statistics, indicating a massive, nationally coordinated mobilization of emergency services to handle the crisis.
The channels uniformly adopt official state terminology, referring to the deceased exclusively as 'martyrs' and characterizing the airstrikes as 'savage attacks' perpetrated by 'the enemies' and 'the Zionist regime.' There is complete consensus among the sources regarding the figures provided by the Red Crescent and provincial authorities, demonstrating a coordinated dissemination of casualty statistics across Iranian media.
