Iran Says U.S. and Israeli Strikes Have Killed 1,348 CiviliansHeadlineMar 12, 2026Link copiedThe United States and Israel are continuing large-scale bombings across Iran, where officials say nearly 1,350 civilians have been killed in 12 days of attacks. Among the dead are at least 40 people — most of them civilians — killed in their homes when an airstrike ripped through a residential neighborhood in eastern Tehran. Survivors said three residential buildings were bombed simultaneously, while a missile struck a nearby police station. Iran’s Health Ministry reports over a dozen hospitals and clinics across Iran have suffered damage, including the Gandhi Hospital in Tehran. Meanwhile, U.S. and Israeli strikes have damaged some centuries-old locations designated by the U.N. as World Heritage sites, including the Chehel Sotoun Palace in the city of Isfahan.
The Guardian is reporting Iran’s new supreme leader, Mojtaba Khamenei, was injured in the February 28 attack that killed six of his family members, including his father, Iran’s former Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. The Guardian cited Tehran’s ambassador to Cyprus, who said Khamenei was lucky to survive the strike, which left him hospitalized with injuries to his legs, hand and arm.
