The head of the Iranian Red Crescent Society, Pirhossein Koolivand, condemned the significant damage caused by U.S. and Israeli forces to civilian infrastructure across Iran, calling it an egregious war crime targeting defenseless civilians, Tasnim reports.

Koolivand stated that since the start of the military campaign, more than 85,176 civilian sites have suffered direct or indirect damage, none of which served any military function.

"Of this total, approximately 64,583 residential properties and 19,694 commercial properties were affected, all of which were entirely civilian in nature," he said.

Koolivand added that 26,717 of the damaged sites are located in Tehran, which has borne the brunt of the attacks. During this brutal campaign, 282 medical facilities were struck, including hospitals, clinics, pharmacies, and wellness centers, some of which — such as Motahari Hospital — were completely put out of operation, he said.

In addition, 600 schools were damaged, the most prominent being the Minab school in southern Iran.

Seventeen Red Crescent branches and bases were also attacked, including a toll station on the Tehran-Qom highway. Despite injuries to personnel, emergency services immediately resumed operations using mobile units. Koolivand drew attention to the destruction of emergency response equipment, noting that three rescue helicopters were destroyed, along with 48 rescue vehicles and 46 ambulances. Airports, passenger aircraft, and fuel depots in various parts of the country, including Tehran, were also targeted. He reported that as a result of these attacks, 66 children under the age of five were killed and approximately 3,000 women were wounded in their homes. Many residential areas were destroyed.

He added that in Tehran alone, more than 680 people were rescued alive from the rubble and transported to medical centers. Search operations continue until all victims are found, and relief forces will not leave the site until the work is complete, he stated.
