The Iranian Red Crescent spokesperson Mojtaba Khaledi stated that at least 20 of Iran’s 32 provinces have been targeted in recent attacks. Citizens have been urged to stay away from the affected areas. The strikes began on Saturday morning, reportedly carried out by the United States and Israel across multiple locations in Iran. In Hormozgan province alone, two separate attacks have killed at least 70 people, according to Al Jazeera.

The report indicates a widespread assault affecting a majority of Iran’s provinces, marking a significant escalation in hostilities involving the United States, Israel, and Iran. The Iranian Red Crescent’s emergency warning highlights the scale of the crisis and the potential humanitarian impact across the country.

Iran has also sent a letter to the United Nations urging action against the aggression, underscoring Tehran’s diplomatic response to the attacks and its appeal for international intervention.
