The number of fatalities from a joint U.S.-Israeli airstrike on a girls’ primary school in Iran’s southern Hormozgan Province has risen to 148, the semi-official Tasnim News Agency reported on Sunday.
The assault also injured 95 people, local prosecutor Ebrahim Taheri said.
According to Taheri, most of those killed in the attack were students, while teachers, school employees and parents were also among the victims.
On Saturday morning, Israel and the United States carried out coordinated strikes on Tehran and several other cities, including Tabriz, Qom, Isfahan, Kermanshah and Karaj. Iran retaliated with missile and drone attacks targeting Israel and U.S. military bases in the region.
The strikes on Tehran reportedly 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.
