In Numbers: Civilian toll of US-Israeli aggression on Iran as war enters 9th day
By Press TV Website Staff
Israeli-American war of aggression against the Islamic Republic of Iran entered its ninth day on Sunday, with civilians and civilian infrastructure bearing the brunt of the onslaught.
The unprovoked and illegal war was launched on February 28, in the middle of indirect nuclear talks between Tehran and Washington, as the United States and the Israeli regime carried out indiscriminate strikes across multiple Iranian provinces, including Tehran.
Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei, along with several top-ranking military commanders, was assassinated in the first wave of the cowardly aggression.
In the days that followed, as Iranian armed forces inflicted heavy blows on the enemy through powerful retaliatory operations under the banner ‘Operation True Promise 4’.
The aggressors then expanded their attacks on civilian infrastructure across the country, targeting hospitals, schools, heritage sites, as well as oil and water facilities.
