Khorramabad: Five members of Iran's Revolutionary Guards were killed in Israeli attacks targeting the city of Khorramabad in western Iran, as reported by the Iranian Mehr news agency. The incident marks a significant escalation in the ongoing conflict between Iran and Israel, with Khorramabad, the capital of Lorestan province, becoming a new focal point in these hostilities.
According to Anadolu Agency, this attack on Khorramabad is part of a broader series of hostilities that erupted on June 13. On that day, Israel initiated airstrikes against various sites across Iran, including military and nuclear facilities. This prompted a series of retaliatory strikes from Tehran, further intensifying tensions between the two nations.
In a related incident reported earlier, Israeli attacks in Qom, located in central Iran, resulted in the deaths of two people and injuries to four others. These attacks highlight the expanding scope of the conflict, affecting multiple regions within Iran.
Israeli authorities have claimed that at least 25 individuals have lost their lives, with hundreds more injured as a result of Iranian missile attacks since the commencement of hostilities. On the other hand, Iran's Health Ministry reports that 430 people have been killed and more than 3,500 wounded due to the ongoing Israeli assault.
