HRANA – At least one citizen in Tehran, five in West Azerbaijan, 28 in Sistan and Baluchestan, and three others in Semirom were arrested by security forces in connection with the war.

According to Tasnim, the Greater Tehran Police Information Center stated that the citizen was arrested for “operating under the cover of a trading company to illegally procure and use satellite equipment, including Starlink, and to establish communication with foreign countries.” A Starlink satellite device was also confiscated from him at the same time.

According to Mehr News Agency, the IRGC Intelligence Organization in West Azerbaijan announced that in the past 48 hours, five individuals had been identified and arrested on charges of links to the Mossad intelligence service and the Iran International network.

According to IRIB, the Ministry of Intelligence reported the arrest of 28 individuals along the borders of Sistan and Baluchestan Province, claiming that they were connected to “takfiri groups.” According to the ministry, some of those arrested had intended to carry out sabotage operations, and five others were also arrested on charges of sending information about certain locations to a media outlet affiliated with Israel. The ministry added that weapons, hand grenades, and several pieces of Starlink satellite internet equipment were discovered and confiscated during the operation.

According to Shahr News Agency, the police commander of Semirom announced the identification and arrest of three individuals by officers of the command’s intelligence organization. According to him, these individuals were arrested for communicating with anti-government networks and sending information and images of certain locations abroad.

The reports did not mention the identities of those arrested or their place of detention.

It should be noted that the military attacks by the United States and Israel on Iran began on February 28, 2026. Since the beginning of these attacks, HRANA has been documenting and recording related incidents across different parts of the country on a daily basis. For more information, you can refer to HRANA’s detailed report on the thirty-fourth day of the conflict, which was published last night.

HRANA– In the last 24 hours, and as of April 1, 2026, at 17:00 ET, HRANA has recorded at least 439 attacks across 157 incidents in 16 provinces, resulting in a total of at least 29 casualties (killed and injured, both civilian and military). A large share of the attacks was concentrated on the provinces of Isfahan and Fars.

According to information recorded and verified by HRANA, from the first minutes of the day until the end of April 1, 2026 (Tehran time), at least eight civilians were killed and 14 civilians were injured.

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: 1,606 people (including at least 244 children)

• Military fatalities: 1,212 people

• Unclassified fatalities (civilian/military): 709 people

Note on official statements: Alongside HRANA’s independent reporting, several official aggregated figures were also recorded today from state media, including:

The head of Tehran Province’s Emergency Center stated: “As of today, in the Ramadan war, 23 ambulances and nearly 10 operational support vehicles have been damaged. Eight have been completely destroyed, and two remain under the rubble because the scale of the strikes has prevented us from retrieving them.” He added: “Additionally, 56 of our brave colleagues have been injured, and one of our colleagues in western Tehran was killed while providing aid to war casualties when renewed attacks struck the scene.”

In a letter to the United Nations, the World Health Organization, and UNICEF, Ali Akbari Sari, head of the Iranian Scientific Association of Public Health, claimed: “In the first 30 days of these ruthless attacks, 93,300 civilian units, including 600 schools, 300 healthcare service centers, and 17 Red Crescent centers across the country, have been destroyed or seriously damaged.”

The Ministry of Education, in a report on the consequences of the attacks, announced: “In the past 33 days of the imposed war, 237 innocent students and 56 educators have been killed in the enemy’s terrorist attacks.”

Because these figures are presented in aggregated form and cannot be precisely matched to specific incidents, they have not been included in the event-based calculations used in HRANA’s independent reporting section of this 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 45%, ranks at the top of the list of provinces that have come under attack. Khuzestan Province, with a 23% share, is in second place, while Isfahan Province, at 12%, ranks third. The list is followed respectively by the provinces of Fars, Alborz, and East Azerbaijan.

2. List of Objects Reported Hit

In the past 24 hours, the recorded attacks have damaged 31 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:

• Shahid Kobraei Garrison (Kashan)

• 15 Khordad Garrison (Isfahan)

• 6th Tactical Air Base (Bushehr)

• Sarallah Armored Garrison (Shiraz)

• Imam Hossein Garrison (Shiraz)

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:

• 16 residential buildings (Tehran)

• Saint Nicholas Orthodox Church (Tehran)

• Doha Fishing Pier (Qeshm)

• Russian nursing home (Tehran)

• Shams Abad residential neighborhood (Tehran)

3. Civilian Casualties

In the past 24 hours, at least eight civilian citizens have been killed and 14 other civilians injured, including 1 woman. All classifications are preliminary and may be updated if new information becomes available.

4. Military Casualties

During the reporting period, one military force member was 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

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

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.

HRANA – As the wave of mass arrests related to the war continued, domestic media outlets reported the detention of another 188 individuals.

According to Mehr News Agnecy, the IRGC Intelligence Organization of Markazi Province announced that 65 citizens were arrested in relation to the war in the province. One person was arrested for “collecting information from sensitive centers for Israel.” The arrest of five others was also carried out on charges of “insulting Iran’s independence and freedom, Islamic sanctities, engaging in propaganda activities against the country, and insulting the flag and national and religious symbols.”

It further stated that 59 others were arrested for reasons including “welcoming and encouraging enemies in attacks on Iran, including attacks on residential areas, public places and property, military centers, the assassination of commanders and officials, as well as writing slogans and filming military and missile sites.”

Tasnim News Agency also reported, citing the prosecutor of Golestan Province, that at least 117 people have been arrested by the province’s IRGC intelligence forces since the start of the war.

According to him, these arrests were made for “cooperating with International and Manoto media outlets, supporting calls by opposition groups, and carrying out anti-security actions.” He further claimed that a number of firearms, bladed weapons, and propaganda leaflets featuring opposition figures had been discovered and confiscated from the accused.

Meanwhile, Young Journalists Club published a video from the IRGC Intelligence Organization showing several citizens arrested for filming missile attacks. In the released footage, at least six citizens can be seen. At the same time, their forced confessions were also broadcast, though the conditions under which they were recorded are unknown.

These reports did not mention the identities of those arrested or their place of detention.

It should be noted that the military attacks by the United States and Israel against Iran began on February 28, 2026. Since the beginning of these attacks, HRANA has been documenting and recording related incidents across different parts of the country on a daily basis.
