• Civilian fatalities: 1,568 people (including at least 236 children)

• Military fatalities: 1,211 people

• Unclassified fatalities (civilian/military): 707 people

Note on official statements: Alongside the independent reports published by HRANA News Agency, several official aggregated figures were also recorded today by state-affiliated media, including:

The Ministry of Health, Treatment and Medical Education, in its latest update, announced that “so far, 24,742 injured individuals have been treated and discharged.” According to the report, Tehran and Hormozgan provinces recorded the highest numbers of fatalities. It added that among the injured were 4,255 women, 1,767 children under the age of eight, 17 children under five, and 63 children under the age of two.

Pirhossein Kolivand, head of the Iranian Red Crescent Society, said that the organization’s operational teams have so far succeeded in rescuing 800 injured people alive from under the rubble and transferring them to medical centers.

Tasnim News Agency, which is close to the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, reported that “according to available figures, by the eighth of Farvardin, 281 teachers and students had been killed in these attacks, including 226 students and 55 teachers. In addition, 191 teachers and students, including 170 students and 21 teachers, were injured during the attacks.”

As these figures have been presented in aggregate form and cannot be precisely matched to specific events, they have not been included in the event-based calculations reflected in HRANA’s independent reporting section of this overview, and 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 ranks first among the provinces targeted in the attacks, accounting for 68 percent of the total. With a significant gap from Tehran, Alborz Province ranks second with a seven percent share, followed by Hormozgan Province in third place with six percent.

2. List of Objects Reported Hit

In the past 24 hours, the recorded attacks have damaged 35 distinct objects or facilities. These include a range of different types of targets. In some cases, damage caused by nearby strikes or secondary consequences of the attacks has also been reported.

Examples of targets recorded over the past 24 hours:

• Al-Ghadir IRGC Headquarters (Yazdan Shahr)

• Imam Ali Military Base (Chabahar)

• Defense Ministry–Affiliated Industrial and Research Complex (Tehran)

• Ya Mahdi Missile Industries (Tehran)

• Basij-affiliated Shahid Chamran Camp (Tehran)

For a number of the listed targets, the exact nature of the target (civilian/military/dual-use) is still under review, and classifications may be revised as additional information becomes available.

Facilities Protected Under International Humanitarian Law:

Under international humanitarian law, medical facilities, educational institutions, humanitarian facilities, religious sites, and emergency service centers are among the many objects that maintain special protected status and are afforded special protection. In the past 24 hours, HRANA has preliminarily recorded the following cases:

• Power Distribution Substation (Tehran)

• Kalleh Dairy Factory (Tehran)

• Electricity Transmission Tower (Karaj)

• Five Residential Buildings (Tehran)

• Nomadic Tent (Andimeshk)

3. Civilian Casualties

In the past 24 hours, at least 17 civilian citizens have been killed and eight civilians injured. All classifications remain preliminary and may be updated as new information becomes available.

4. Military Casualties

During the reporting period, 3 military personnel were killed. Military casualties are generally reported in the context of attacks on Army and Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) bases. Where possible, organizational affiliation and operational context are being assessed; however, not all details have yet been independently verified.

In some incidents, individuals have been killed in the vicinity of military targets; however, their official status has not yet been definitively determined. These cases remain under review, and if reliable information indicating a different status becomes available, the classification may be revised accordingly.

It is believed that military casualties are significantly higher than the figures reported in these reports. However, due to the sensitive nature of military information and the limited access of human rights groups and media to locations where military forces are present, this section largely reflects reports of senior officers or military personnel who were present in urban areas.

5. Confirmed but Unspecified Casualties

Five reported deaths and four injuries recorded in the past 24 hours remain classified as undetermined, meaning that HRANA has not yet been able to establish with sufficient certainty whether these individuals were civilians or military personnel.

Burials: Today, 14 burial cases linked to attacks from previous days were recorded.

A Note on HRANA Methodology

Note that, in line with HRANA policy, this report reflects only incidents that occurred within the territorial borders of Iran.

The information contained in this report is compiled through HRANA’s established documentation network. Data is collected from a combination of field reports, local contacts, medical and emergency sources, civil society networks, and open source materials, including publicly available images, videos, and official statements where relevant. Each reported incident is logged and assessed through an internal review process before publication.

Given the evolving nature of hostilities, information is gathered on a rolling basis and reflects the status of documentation at the time of publication.

The figures presented in this report may not reflect the full scope of harm. Ongoing hostilities, damage to infrastructure, communication disruptions, restricted access to affected areas, and security risks for sources may limit the ability to document incidents comprehensively.

Delays in medical reporting, difficulties in confirming identities, and restricted access to certain provinces may result in temporary undercounting. As access improves or additional evidence emerges, casualty figures and incident classifications may be revised accordingly.

HRANA remains committed to transparency, methodological rigor, and the continual updating of its findings as new verified information becomes available.

Mock Execution: Baha’i International Community Expresses Concern Over Peyvand Naimi’s Fate in Kerman Prison

HRANA – Peyvand Naimi (Naeimi), a Baha’i citizen, remains in a state of legal limbo more than two months after his arrest, held in solitary confinement in Kerman Prison. During this time, he has reportedly been subjected to mock executions and torture aimed at extracting forced confessions. In this regard, the Baha’i International Community has issued a statement expressing concern over his fate and calling for urgent international attention to his situation.

The Baha’i International Community, expressing concern over Naimi’s condition in a statement shared with HRANA, reported that he has endured two mock executions, torture, and prolonged interrogations, placing him at serious risk. Iranian authorities are reportedly attempting to coerce him into confessing to crimes he has not committed. Staged executions are among the most severe forms of psychological torture and are prohibited under international law. Naimi is currently held in solitary confinement in Kerman Prison and has developed involuntary eye twitching and digestive problems. Despite this, prison officials have denied him medical care.

The statement further notes that from March, Naimi was subjected to ten days of intense torture and interrogation. On some days, his hands and feet were bound and attached to a wall for up to 48 hours. In addition to physical abuse, he has faced insults targeting his religious beliefs and has repeatedly been subjected to staged executions.

A family member living outside Iran stated that his physical and psychological condition has severely deteriorated due to the mistreatment, and that during visits, he appeared emotionally broken under the pressure.

According to the statement, on February 28, Naimi was transferred to an IRGC detention facility and later returned to Kerman Prison. Authorities have claimed that he “expressed joy” on the day of Ali Khamenei’s death and that he was involved in attacks against Basij forces and the killing of a Basij member during protests on January 8. However, he had been arrested prior to the killing and, as a detainee without access to communication devices, could not have played any role in those events.

Additionally, on February 1, a video of Naimi’s forced confessions was broadcast on state television, though the conditions under which it was recorded remain unclear. To date, no trial has been held, no verdict has been issued, and no evidence has been presented to substantiate the allegations against him.

Pivand Naimi was arrested on January 8, 2026, by security forces at his workplace and transferred to Kerman Prison.

Over the past decade, the Baha’i community in Iran has faced more security and judicial pressure than any other religious minority. A review of HRA’s annual reports indicates that, over the past year, an average of 62.41% of reports concerning religious minorities involved violations of the rights of Baha’i citizens.

Of these, 5,608 were transferred to medical centers after receiving initial treatment by Tehran emergency teams. Unfortunately, 636 people have been killed in Tehran during this period.”

The Cultural Deputy of the Foundation of Martyrs and Veterans Affairs in Kohgiluyeh and Boyer-Ahmad Province stated: “The names of 16 individuals from this province who were killed in the U.S. and Zionist regime’s imposed war against our country, while in other provinces, have been identified and announced.”

In the past 24 hours, the recorded attacks have damaged 46 distinct objects or facilities. These include a range of different types of targets. In some cases, damage caused by nearby strikes or secondary consequences of the attacks has also been reported.

Examples of targets recorded over the past 24 hours:

• Meythami Base (Garmdareh)

• Imam Ali Garrison (Khorramabad)

• Air Base (Bushehr)

• Headquarters of the Air Force (Tehran)

• Army Aviation (Isfahan)

For a number of the listed targets, the exact nature of the target (civilian/military/dual-use) is still under review, and classifications may be revised as additional information becomes available.

Facilities Protected Under International Humanitarian Law:

Under international humanitarian law, medical facilities, educational institutions, humanitarian facilities, religious sites, and emergency service centers are among the many objects that maintain special protected status and are afforded special protection. In the past 24 hours, HRANA has preliminarily recorded the following cases:

• Shohada-ye Pasdar School (Khorramabad)

• A 17-unit residential building (Tehran)

• Velayat Cultural Center (Shahr-e Rey)

• Three residential units (Tehran)

• Gas Company (Tehran)

3. Civilian Casualties

In the past 24 hours, at least 36 civilian citizens, including 3 children, have been killed, and 138 civilians, including 2 children and 1 woman, have been injured. All classifications are preliminary and may be updated as new information becomes available.

4. Military Casualties

During the period covered by this report, no reports of military casualties have been received. Military casualties are generally reported in the context of attacks on Army and Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) bases. Where possible, organizational affiliation and operational context are being assessed; however, not all details have yet been independently verified.

In some incidents, individuals have been killed in the vicinity of military targets; however, their official status has not yet been definitively determined. These cases remain under review, and if reliable information indicating a different status becomes available, the classification may be revised accordingly.

It is believed that military casualties are significantly higher than the figures reported in these reports. However, due to the sensitive nature of military information and the limited access of human rights groups and media to locations where military forces are present, this section largely reflects reports of senior officers or military personnel who were present in urban areas.

5. Confirmed but Unspecified Casualties

Of the reported casualties in the past 24 hours, one death remains classified as undetermined, meaning that HRANA has not yet been able to establish with sufficient certainty whether the individual was a civilian or military personnel.

Today, 16 burials resulting from attacks in previous days have been recorded.

A Note on HRANA Methodology

Note that, in line with HRANA policy, this report reflects only incidents that occurred within the territorial borders of Iran.

The information contained in this report is compiled through HRANA’s established documentation network. Data is collected from a combination of field reports, local contacts, medical and emergency sources, civil society networks, and open source materials, including publicly available images, videos, and official statements where relevant. Each reported incident is logged and assessed through an internal review process before publication.

Given the evolving nature of hostilities, information is gathered on a rolling basis and reflects the status of documentation at the time of publication.

The figures presented in this report may not reflect the full scope of harm. Ongoing hostilities, damage to infrastructure, communication disruptions, restricted access to affected areas, and security risks for sources may limit the ability to document incidents comprehensively.

Delays in medical reporting, difficulties in confirming identities, and restricted access to certain provinces may result in temporary undercounting. As access improves or additional evidence emerges, casualty figures and incident classifications may be revised accordingly.

HRANA remains committed to transparency, methodological rigor, and the continual updating of its findings as new verified information becomes available.
