Iran’s Health Ministry reported on Thursday, July 9, 2026, that two days of U.S. airstrikes have killed at least 14 people and wounded 78 others. The strikes targeted multiple sites across Iran amid escalating regional tensions.
Officials stated that the casualties included both civilians and security personnel, with hospitals in affected areas struggling to manage the influx of injured. The ministry emphasized that the toll could rise as rescue operations continue in damaged zones.
The airstrikes were carried out as part of U.S. military operations following renewed hostilities in the Middle East. Iran condemned the attacks, calling them a violation of international law and warning of severe humanitarian consequences.
Local authorities reported significant damage to infrastructure, including residential areas and public facilities. Emergency teams have been deployed to provide medical assistance and relief to displaced families.
The Health Ministry urged international organizations to intervene and provide humanitarian support, stressing that continued strikes risk worsening the crisis and destabilizing the region further.
