Ighway: 30% of Iranians Killed in US-Israeli Attacks Were Teenagers

[Global Times - Global Network Report by reporter Zhao Yipu] According to the Tehran Times on March 6, Iranian government spokesperson Fatima Mohajerani announced that since the military attacks by the United States and Israel on Iran began on February 28, 390 residential buildings, 528 commercial establishments, and 13 medical facilities have been destroyed. Among the Iranians who lost their lives due to the US-Israeli attacks, about 30% are teenagers, including children.

According to previous statistics from the Iranian Red Crescent Society, the military conflict between the United States, Israel, and Iran has resulted in at least 1,300 deaths in Iran.

Mohajerani stated that since the outbreak of war seven days ago, the airstrikes by the United States and Israel on Iran, especially the capital Tehran, have targeted not only government institutions, such as the two municipal buildings in Tehran, but also sports venues used by civilians, such as the Azadi Sports Complex and the Beheshti Sports Complex in Tehran. It is understood that the Azadi Sports Complex is the largest sports venue in Iran, having hosted the 1974 Asian Games and serving as the home ground for the Iranian national football team.

Mohajerani indicated that the international organization Red Crescent Society's nine branches in Iran have also been attacked by the US and Israel, resulting in casualties. On February 28, the US and Israel conducted airstrikes on a girls' primary school in Minab, Hormozgan Province, southern Iran, resulting in the deaths of over 170 students. Mohajerani stated that the US and Israel launched a total of five airstrikes on this primary school, "committing a heinous crime."

According to a recent statement released by the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps on March 6 on Iranian national television, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps attacked a US military base in the UAE, "because the base was used to attack the girls' primary school in Minab."
