Day Ten of the U.S.-Israeli War on Iran: Extensive Damage to Isfahan’s Historical Sites

HRANA – In the last 24 hours, and as of March 9, 2026, at 16:00 ET, HRANA has recorded at least 285 attacks across 147 incidents in 17 provinces, resulting in a total of at least 61 casualties (killed and injured, both civilian and military). Today’s reports indicate that, unlike in previous days when the country’s western provinces were primarily targeted, the current focus of the attacks, after Tehran, has been concentrated on Isfahan Province.

According to information recorded and verified by HRANA, from the first minutes of the day until the end of March 9, 2026 (Tehran time), at least 40 civilians were killed and 8 civilians injured. Additionally, 11 deaths have been recorded for which the classification (civilian or military) is not specified in the available data. To avoid potential misclassification, these cases are presented in this report under the category of “unspecified.”

Aggregated data since the beginning of the conflict on February 28, 2026, based on incidents recorded in the incident tab and using minimum values for figures marked “more than”:

• Civilian fatalities: 1,245 people (including at least 194 children)

• Military fatalities: 189 people

• Unclassified fatalities (civilian/military): 327 people

This remainder of this report provides a preliminary analytical overview of documented incidents over the past 24 hours. All figures and classifications are based on information available at the time of publication. As verification continues and more information becomes available, casualty figures and classifications may be updated.

Note on Official Statements: Alongside the independent reports published by the HRANA, several aggregated official statistics were also recorded today from Iran’s state media, including the following:

Ali Ja’farian, Iran’s Deputy Minister of Health, told Al Jazeera that more than 1,255 people have been killed during the nine days of war. He added in his interview with the network that over 12,000 people have also been injured.

According to Ja’farian, the victims include individuals ranging in age from an eight-month-old infant to an 88-year-old elderly person, and 200 women are among those killed. He also stated that 11 members of the medical staff have been killed and 55 others injured.

Ja’far Miadfar, head of Iran’s National Emergency Organization, told media outlets that 190 of those killed were under the age of 18. He added that there are currently 11 “martyrs,” three of whom were members of Emergency Service 115.

Among the injured, 1,402 are women. Seven hundred of the injured are under 18 years old, and 60 are under the age of five.

Since these figures have been presented in aggregated form and cannot be accurately matched to specific events, they have not been included in the event-based calculations used in the independent reporting section of this HRANA review. They are mentioned here solely as a record of official statements.

1. Overview of Incidents in the Last 24 Hours

In the last 24 hours, incidents were reported across multiple provinces, reflecting a geographically dispersed pattern of hostilities.  In a large portion of the incidents, the method/type of attack has not yet been confirmed and has been recorded as “undetermined.” In cases where the attack type was identifiable, airstrikes and drone attacks were reported.

Preliminary analysis indicates that Tehran Province, accounting for 32% of the attacks, continues to be targeted more than any other part of the country. It is followed by Isfahan Province, which experienced a sharp increase to 23% compared to previous days and saw a large wave of attacks over the past 24 hours. Hormozgan Province also witnessed 10% of the total attacks recorded during the past day. Regions such as Lorestan, Khuzestan, and Alborz, as in previous days, have also borne a significant share of the attacks received.
