Tehran, March 1 (Net) — The death toll from a joint U.S.-Israeli strike on a girls’ elementary school in Iran’s southern province of Hormozgan rose to 148, semi-official Tasnim news agency reported on Sun-day.
The attack also left 95 people wounded, local prosecutor Ebrahim Taheri was quoted as saying.
He said the majority of the victims of the brutal attack were pupils, with teachers, school staff and stu-dents’ parents also among the dead.
On Saturday morning, Israel and the United States launched joint attacks on Tehran and several other Iranian cities, including Tabriz, Qom, Isfahan, Kermanshah, and Karaj. Iran responded with missile and drone strikes targeting Israel and U.S. bases across the region.
The attacks on Tehran killed Iran’s Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, Secretary of the country’s Defense Council Ali Shamkhani and Mohammad Pakpour, chief commander of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps.
